Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in Handley, WV 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 Handley, WV, 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 Handley, WV 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 Handley, WV 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.
How many state lines you cross during your move is irrelevant when it comes to whether your move will be considered long distance or not: if you have crossed one, then you may as well cross them all! It is important to note that if you choose a route that crosses a state line (even to save time moving your possessions), then it will be considered a long-distance move.
If you are a long-distance mover in Handley, WV, then you will be required to hold a license from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which is a federal governing body that regulates residential moving and trucking industries. The laws and regulations created by the FMCSA must be adhered to, so Wirefly only works with the movers who can present their proper licensing and insurance. However, we do advise our customers to conduct their own research on any moving service we refer them to. After assuring the movers have proper documentation, it's responsible to also review performance records as well as accident and complaint reports located on the USDOT website.
A long-distance move to or from Handley, WV will cost more than a local move, so it is important to consider all the components involved when obtaining a moving quote and comparing referrals. Just because a company offers you the lowest quote doesn't mean you are getting the best deal. Picture this: you need assistance with packing your possessions, but you find out that service is not included in the original quote the moving company you chose gave you. Like many companies, this company charges extra for additional services, and in the end, it's more expensive (and a much bigger hassle) than it would have been if you'd have chosen a company with a higher quote, but they include all services at a flat rate. So, our suggestion is to ask for a 'binding moving estimate' (an estimate that lists out all expected costs and guarantees there are no additional hidden costs to be added) from the company you are getting an estimate from. We hear the same questions often, such as: Can I pack my possessions before the movers arrive? Can I trust that my items will be safely transported to my new home? Would it be more beneficial to rent a truck and do this all on my own?
The process of moving your belongings internationally to or from Handley, WV, will top the list of challenges that come along with moving to a new country. If you are frustrated by the lack of international moving companies that are both reliable and reputable, you've come to the right place to get your moving project underway.
Each moving company that is located outside of the United States has to be in good standing with the FIDI. This is the largest network of international professional moving and relocating companies. If they stay in good standing, they will have the right to be called an Accredited International Mover. It is always recommended to do research on your own as well. You should review each prospective company's history from the American Moving and Storage Association, the Better Business Bureau, and the Household Goods Forwarder Association before you make any final decisions. Once you have narrowed it down to the top two or three, Wirefly will assist in getting an international moving quote.
Moving to a new home and moving to a new office are two entirely different things, even though they may seem similar.

When compared to a home move, office moves can pose their own set of difficulties and hurdles.

When there are movers wandering the office, packing heavy machinery, and moving everything onto their truck, it can be mighty distracting for everyone in the office from employees to clients. This can make it difficult to run the business as usual. Plus, once all the moving out is completed, everything must be unloaded and set up as quickly as possible.
