Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in District of Columbia can be a big decision with a lot of moving parts (pun intended). That's where Wirefly comes in. We make it easy for you to find and compare the best moving companies in District of Columbia, including home movers, office movers, long distance movers, international movers, and auto transport companies to make your move as simple and pain free as possible.
When it comes to how moving companies classify moves, there are two possible types of moves: local moves, which are also known as intrastate moves, and long-distance moves. Understanding the difference between the two is important so consumers can plan the correct route and negotiate the best deal. The key in differentiating between these two types is whether the moving route stays within one state.
The distance traveled doesn’t play a part. A move can be considered a local move even if the route starts in District of Columbia and stretches all the way to the farthest corner of the state. But if the moving company crosses the state line at any point along the way, then the move is a long-distance move. This is true whether the moving route was planned that way or the moving company took a wrong turn and ended up outside the state accidentally. Long-distance moves fall under a different jurisdiction than local moves. Consumers who want more information on long-distance moves and how to make sure their moves remain under the local classification can check out Wirefly’s long-distance moving page.
Local moves to or from District of Columbia still require the same amount of preparation as long-distance moves and have the same logistical concerns. Consumers should research their options to verify that they’re choosing reputable moving companies that will also provide the best value for the money they spend on moving services. A few factors all consumers should consider as they research and prepare is how large of a truck they will need, if they’re going to pack their possessions themselves or have the movers do it, if a storage facility is necessary in the event there isn’t enough space for everything at their new home, and if the movers they find have the proper insurance and licensing. The good news is that all the movers in the Wirefly network will be fully insured and licensed. Consumers can start prepping for a move by mapping out a budget, figuring out all the costs involved with their move, and getting quotes to compare. With Wirefly, it’s much easier to get the necessary information and compare available options.
Your move will still be considered a long distance move whether you cross from one state line to the other or not on your way to the new home. The route selected might be projected to be the most convenient and the shorter option, but it might necessitate briefly crossing your state line while traveling to another city within the state. In that case, your move will still be categorized as long distance. Examples of places where that can happen are in states with uneven boundaries like states across the South and Northeast, Wisconsin, Texas, Minnesota, and Idaho.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) expects all the long distances movers from District of Columbia to be holders of a valid license. All the domestic trucking and moving industries are regulated by the FMCSA which is a federal governing body. If Wirefly refers any of its customers to another moving company, we firmly advise you to investigate the reputation of the enterprise; however, Wirefly is reputed to work with only properly insured and licensed companies. It is essential to review the records of a company's past performance such as complaints reports and accidents on the Wirefly website even if a mover possesses valid documentation.
And when comparing the referrals, you need to take all the variables that go into the quote for moving to determine whether a local move is cheaper than a long distance move. If the cost of helping to pack your belongings is not included in the estimates, the company that gives the lowest quote might not be the best deal for your move. A company with a higher flat might cost you less than a company that charges additional fee apart from the underlying charges. You should, therefore, ask the company you chose to give you a binding estimate that provides a guarantee that no hidden fees will spring up on you. The binding estimate should list out all the costs expected. The common questions most of Wirefly's customers in District of Columbia ask are like, whether they can pack their belongings and fly out before the movers arrive? Can they trust the movers to safely transport their belonging to the new home? Or could it make more sense for them to hire a truck, pack it up and drive it on their own?
Moving to a new country is not only scary but poses a variety of challenges you may need to undertake. One of the most common obstacles presented when moving internationally is finding a reputable moving company that will safely transport your belongings to your new home. However, if you are upset by the variety of dissatisfying international movers in District of Columbia, you are checking out the right source.
Moving companies not located in the United States must have a good history with FIDI, in order to maintain as an Accredited International Mover. However, you can always search for the best international movers using the Better Business Bureau, the American Moving & Storage Association, and the Household Goods Forwarder Association. However, before you choose, Wirefly can help you get an international moving quote to start narrowing down your options.
