Because every long distance move is different, we offer an array of services to get your goods where they need to be safely and on time. Several factors can influence how much your household move will cost, including the size and number of items you'll be shipping, the distance they will be traveling, and any special considerations — like if there's glass or delicate components. Our most popular solutions for long distance household moves are:
Best for tight or very specific timeframes and large moves
Best for small loads that include furniture and flexible timeframes
Best for moves that only require boxes (no furniture or large items)
How far in advance should I schedule my household move?
TSI has relationships with a variety of national networks and can typically accommodate most customer time frame requirements. We do recommend scheduling your household move as early as possible, with 3-4 weeks in advance being ideal, to maximize all service options. If you do require expedited pickup and/or delivery, TSI can accommodate that as well. Please contact us and let one of our experienced representatives listen to your needs and walk you through our suite of solutions.

Will a moving company move one piece of furniture?
Not many companies will move one or few pieces of furniture. TSI is one of the few small load movers with a national presence and specializes in moves that do not require a full truck. Some household movers will not move a single piece of furniture locally, but there may be specialized single-item movers in your area if you’re moving a single piece of furniture within the same city.

What is the best moving company for long distance moves?
The best moving company for long distance moves ultimately depends on your budget and timeline, your physical ability, and the amount of stuff you have to move.
For small load long distance moves, the best option is to work with a company like TSI that has options for consolidated shipping. Large van lines typically have weight minimums that only make sense if you are moving a whole home. Professional cross-country household movers and shippers like TSI will prepare and load furniture and may offer packing services for boxes. TSI offers extra services such as on-site crating (if needed) and can even help you pack, organize and declutter, and more. Request a household moving and shipping quote to learn more.

With TSI, you can move your household to and from all 48 contiguous states (every US state, except for Alaska and Hawaii). We do not offer international moving or shipping services. We specialize in providing household move services cross country or any distance longer than 100 miles.
Can I request specific moving dates?
Tell your logistics specialist about any timing requirements for your household. The different service levels have different transport times and pick up / delivery windows. We do have one service that allows you to specify exact dates, and others that require more flexibility, depending on your needs.
What is the average timeline for long-distance household moves with TSI?
Average timeline for long-distance household moves depends on the service:

It can take up to 15 business days for pickup and 20 additional business days for delivery. If your pickup and delivery locations are in well-traveled areas, this timeline could be much quicker.
