Relocating out of state can be difficult to organize, but there are services available that can make the move easier.
One option to consider is having your furniture shipped as freight. While many dedicated moving companies charge a premium price to offer to the door to door service, companies who ship furniture via freight can often offer similar or even better service at a competitive price. When looking at how to ship furniture out of state, the first thing to consider is how to pack it.
Companies that offer options can offer blanket-wrapping options similar to a traditional company or can pack your furniture on pallets and shrink wrap it for transport.
When you choose to use freight shipping for your furniture, you have the choice of simply having the furniture delivered to your curb on the pallets or choose white glove service which includes inside delivery. The furniture is initially sent to a warehouse and taken off of the pallets. It is then delivered inside your home or business. Either are perfect options when you need to send a single piece or all your furniture out of state.
When you freight your furniture, your furniture will be picked up, wrapped for shipping and then it will be placed it on pallets. It is then transported to its new location. Often, in addition to being cheaper than traditional moving services, this may be faster as well.
For many moving companies, if you have less than a full truckload of items, the moving company may hold your possessions until they have another shipment going the same direction. With a freight shipment, the items can be sent as soon as they are packed and loaded onto pallets. Freight forwarders or freight forwarding companies in your area may be able recommend a company to pack and freight your furniture.
