To properly prepare for your long-distance move, follow our complete tips to get you set up for success.
Determine whether you want to move on your own or to move with the help of professional long-distance movers. Keep in mind, though it has a higher cost, having professionals on your side will save you a lot of stress and effort during your relocation.
Try to book your moving company at least one month in advance, and ideally 2-3 months ahead of time during peak moving season.
Inform your moving company about any items that will need extra attention during the relocation, like pianos, pool tables, etc.
Use up all of your perishable items and the food that will otherwise expire or need to be thrown out before moving day. Don’t be needlessly wasteful!
Talk to your kids and try to ready your pets as much as possible before moving day.
Organize items you don’t need, want, or use into categories according to whether you want to donate, give away, sell, or throw them away.
While you wait for your items to arrive, you’re going to want to have day-to-day items and important documents packed separately to bring with you directly.
Once you’ve decluttered and figured out what you want with you, start packing! Take things room by room and do it gradually so as not to overwhelm yourself.
Don’t forget to call your utility companies and have your utilities transferred or shut off prior to your move.
All that’s left is to prepare yourself for moving day! Get your items, children, and pets together and get ready for a positive and efficient moving day.

The driver was the head of the crew, and he was on top of everything. He made the experience working with Hollander Moving a pleasure. We have used others before but it was our first time using Hollander. Everything turned out great.

Every employee I worked with was courteous, professional, and exceedingly competent. I was nervous about the packing and long distance move (from Illinois to New Mexico, October 2009) and Hollander helped make the move as smooth as possible. Not a thing was damaged or broken
-Kay S..
I would recommend Hollander to any company thinking about switching vendors, and any family making a move. A Hollander rep even stopped by my new place when they were unloading just to check on things.
Wonderful service – first class!
-Julia C..
Everything Hollander has done was over the top. It was courteous people, polite, caring. Their friendliness was over the top. There was one member of the crew who’d been a friend for 30 years, and the rest was family. I couldn’t say enough about them.

I recently moved from Chicago to Tampa and expected a few road bumps along the way but was pleasantly surprised when everything from loading to delivery was flawless. Everyone I came in contact with was very professional and knowledgable. I highly recommend Hollander Moving and Storage as they are a class act.
-Sandy C..
This move envolved packing and delivery to four different destinations. Attention to detail and coordination were vital and effectively executed by Tony R driver and his crew. Ardene did a great job coordinating everything. The entire group were both extremely pleasant and efficient.
