How Moving and Storage Services Work.
When your pickup and delivery dates don't line up perfectly, moving and storage services may be coordinated as part of your long-distance relocation plan. The process starts by understanding your move, your timing, and when you'll be ready to receive your belongings.

Share your origin, destination, move date, household inventory, and when you expect to be ready for delivery.
Review Your Timeline
If pickup and move-in dates differ, available storage options can be discussed while your relocation is being planned.

Final Delivery
When you're ready to receive your shipment, final delivery can be coordinated according to the moving plan.
When Moving and Storage Services Make Sense.
Long-distance relocations sometimes involve more than simply moving from one home directly into another. Closing dates change, renovations run behind schedule, leases begin later than expected, and new construction doesn't always finish exactly on time.
Moving and storage services can provide an additional layer of flexibility when your belongings need to leave your current residence before your destination is ready. Discussing these needs early allows storage requirements to be considered as part of your overall relocation plan.
Availability, storage duration, handling procedures, and delivery arrangements for moving and storage services may vary depending on the motor carrier assigned to your move, which is why it's important to explain your timing needs while requesting your quote.
For additional interstate moving preparation, review the FMCSA Moving Checklist from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Storage duration can vary. Short-term and longer-term options may be available depending on the carrier and the requirements of your relocation.
What is storage in transit?
Storage in transit generally refers to temporary storage of household goods between pickup and final delivery when immediate delivery is not possible or requested.
How is moving and storage pricing determined?
Pricing for moving and storage services can depend on the household shipment, storage duration, transportation requirements, handling needs, and services provided by the assigned carrier.
Can I arrange storage if my closing date changes?

Can I access my belongings while they are in storage?
Access policies can vary by carrier and storage arrangement. If you expect to need access to specific belongings, discuss this before storage is coordinated.
