Suddath did a tremendous job in difficult circumstances. We were moving from Galveston to Houston & Hurricane Beryl came through right before we were scheduled to pack up. The crew had to navigate with no power, high temperatures and a 3 story house on stilts for the move out. They were amazing. Due to the storm and power loss problems throughout Houston, our closings (sale & purchase) were delayed and Kathy was so helpful with our storage needs that lasted longer than expected. Both she and Jose and the entire crew did an amazing job. Highly recommend and would definitely use them again.

The Suddath team was great from start to finish for our long-haul move - 5 stars all the way! Francisco, Luis, and AJ were polite, friendly and professional and they loaded, moved, and unloaded all of our goods with care and expertise, as if it was their own move. Angelica and Steve expertly coordinated load and delivery. Nick helped us out at the Atlanta facility, which is impressive in scale. We highly recommend the entire team.

Suddath Moving in Orlando made moving to South Florida so easy. Perry and Amanda explained and coordinated the process in great detail, and were easy to reach if I had any questions. The crew, Milton C and Freddy, were the ultimate professionals - prompt, curtious, organized, and extremely hard working. I highly recommend their services!

We had a great experience with our movers yesterday. Johnny, Julio, Jorge, and Marsell were friendly, polite, and professional. The loading was careful, quiet, and very organized. All we had to do was stay out of the way! We are moving cross country and our days have been a little stressful - so thank you to our 4-man crew for making it an easy day!

Start to finish, our movers were outstanding. They were focused and professional, swift—and good people to be around. We moved 16,000 pounds household goods and not a thing was broken. I hope we don’t have to move again anywhere anytime soon— it was a really big move!— but if I did, I would hire these folks again in a heartbeat.

Transparent Long-Distance Move Quote

Moving is frequently noted as the third most stressful time in a person's life and it’s understandable – there are a lot of details to manage, and you need a knowledgeable and trustworthy partner to help you get to your new destination.

By performing a comprehensive home survey, either virtually or in-person, an experienced representative can properly assess the scope of your long-distance move by itemizing contents, planning for personnel and transportation requirements and accounting for any circumstances like needing specialized equipment or packing preparation. This information will be used to develop a customized moving plan that will align with your schedule and budget.

This walkthrough allows Suddath to provide you with a binding quote so that your budget is one less item for you to worry about during such a busy time.

Get Started

Dedicated Move Coordinators

When you’re moving long distance, it’s important to have a knowledgeable and experienced partner helping you through the journey. We’ve been trusted to move millions of precious items over the past century and remain a top-rated long-distance moving company in Lubbock, TX because we have done it well.

One of the ways we provide stellar service is by assigning each customer a dedicated long-distance move coordinator. This person will be your single point of contact throughout your relocation and will advise you on everything during your move. From schedules and packing needs to helping you understand smaller considerations, like non-allowables items like chemicals, poisons and perishable food, which cannot be placed into a moving truck for safety and health reasons.

Work with your move coordinator during the walkthrough process for any unique items you need moved, or any specialty services you may need. They will handle the request with our team to put together the details, ensuring the crew is properly equipped on move day.

LONG-DISTANCE MOVING RESOURCES

LUBBOCK LONG-DISTANCE MOVERS FAQ

What are my options for a long-distance moving estimate?

We offer both in-home surveys and virtual walk-throughs to provide estimates for long distance moves.

A Suddath representative will go through your home with you room by room to assess what needs to be moved. They will perform the walkthrough at a time that is convenient for you. If you choose an in-home estimate, we will set an appointment with you at your home. If you prefer our virtual walkthrough, you will simply use your smartphone or tablet to give our team a video walk-through of your home.

Once the walk-through of your choice is complete, you will have two options:

A non-binding estimate - this estimate is based on the total weight of your shipment. Keep in mind that we will not know the exact weight until moving day when all your items are loaded onto the truck.
A binding estimate - the cost of your move is provided up front. So, if the final weight is above or below the estimate, you will only pay the rate we quoted to you.

How should I vet a long-distance moving company?

Perform online research through reputable, third-party websites. Once you have read through Google Reviews for Lubbock long-distance moving companies, visit the websites of independent organizations like the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”). They can verify that the long-distance moving companies you are considering are established and accredited.

The BBB website provides access to complaints and responses from the moving company. This can provide insight into how the company responds when their customers are unhappy with the services they received.

It is important to make sure that your long-distance moving company has a valid Department of Transportation (DOT) number on the FMSCA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) official website, as this is a requirement for all commercial carrier vehicles.

When choosing a cross-country mover, it is also important to have a thorough quoting process. Home surveys are particularly important to get a realistic view of what the move will entail. We have compiled a list of things you may want to ask cross-country movers concerning the specific costs associated with a long-distance move.

We’ve shared a few more ways to ensure the legitimacy of a moving company, such as checking on online presence, industry recognition and more.

How can I organize my household items for a long-distance move?

By managing 50,000 moves per year, Suddath has acquired a wealth of knowledge to assist customers with all kinds of moving questions. From using our detailed moving checklist that provides an overarching timeline for your entire interstate move, to more detailed documentation such as moving with kids specifically, your dedicated move coordinator can help you devise a plan that works for you.

Getting your house organized is an important step. Determining which items will be relocating with you, what items you can sell, and what you can donate will help you pare down the contents for easier inventorying.

Understanding what can be transported on a moving truck is also helpful. By law, there are certain items that are considered “non-allowables” that we cannot load onto the truck. Things like paint, chemicals, flammables and more fall under this category. For a detailed list, check out our blog here.

What is valuation coverage, and do I really need it?

You will be automatically provided with a $0.60 per lb. valuation, free of charge. However, we are happy to provide additional valuation coverage to every customer that wants more protection. One thing you should keep in mind is that valuation coverage is not insurance. In order to procure insurance for your interstate move, you will need to work through a licensed insurance company.

Learn more about your valuation coverage options in our blog post on the subject.

How do I submit a claim if something is broken during my interstate move?

It is our goal to make sure that the belongings we move for you always make it to their destination safely. Our drivers and operators spend time training at Suddath University where they are trained on professional packing techniques, loading/unloading, safety instructions and customer service.

In the rare case that one of your items is damaged, your Suddath long distance move coordinator will be with you through the entire process. The coordinator will provide a claim form and walk you through each step of documenting your broken items. Once the form is completed, within 24 hours a Suddath claims representative will reach out to you.
