- Blanket wrap. Every piece is padded and strapped. No extra charge for protection.

How we run your long-distance move
- Pre-move inventory. A walkthrough in person or by video catalogs every item. That inventory sets your flat-rate quote, so there are no surprises.
- Load day. Our team disassembles furniture, wraps each piece, and loads with load bars and straps so nothing shifts on the drive.
- Transit. Your goods travel on a dedicated truck with GPS tracking. Dispatch watches weather and road conditions, especially the I-70 passes on the Denver run.
- Delivery. We unload, place each piece in the right room, reassemble furniture, and haul off the packing debris. You walk through and sign off when you are satisfied.
Every long-distance job gets one move coordinator as your point of contact from quote to delivery. No getting bounced between departments.
Quick answers about long-distance costs
How is long-distance priced versus local?
Local moves are priced by time and crew. Long-distance is priced by the size of the shipment, the distance, and access at both ends. We quote a binding flat rate, so there are no weight-ticket surprises at delivery.
Do you store our things in transit?
No. Your shipment goes straight from your Oceanside home to the destination on one truck. If you need storage at either end, we offer it through our short-term storage service.
Can you ship a car too?
We do not haul vehicles ourselves, but we coordinate with a licensed auto shipper so your car arrives on a schedule that lines up with your household goods.
Do you require a deposit?
A small deposit reserves your date, typically 8–14% of the quote, and it applies to your final balance. The rest is due at delivery after you inspect everything.
