Think of it like airplane tickets, the busier the time, the more expensive the ticket.

This method of consolidated shipping allows everyone to receive the lowest rate for long distance moves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to move quickly, or have a large amount of items to move, you can always pay full price for an entire truck.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delivery windows<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes for long distance moves, moving companies give a delivery window and not an exact arrival date. They know conditions like weather and road closures can often slow down the moving truck. And, if your belongings are part of a consolidated shipment, it takes time for the movers to pick up and deliver other clients\u2019 shipments along the way. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accessorial Charges<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your move involve any extra circumstances like flights of stairs? An elevator? Will the truck have to park far from your front door? By the way, the moving lingo for &#8220;extra circumstances\u201d is \u201caccessorial charges\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storage<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will your belongings need to be in the moving company\u2019s storage while you&#8217;re getting your new place ready?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Money Saving Tip<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to truly save on the cost of your move is to choose a moving company based on their reputation. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/moving-tips\/how-to-choose-a-mover\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure they have provided stellar service to their clients for years.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have more questions about long distance moves?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give us a call and our Client Loyalty Team will guide you through the moving process.
