What Is The Difference Between Local, In-State, and Long-Distance Moving?

Understanding the differences between local, in-state, and long-distance moving is key to planning your move. Local moves are typically within the same city or a short distance away, defined in Virginia as within 40 miles. In-state moves, also known as intrastate moves, are within the same state but over 40 miles away. Long-distance moves, also known as interstate moves, are any moves that cross state lines.

How Do Movers Handle Moving Valuables And Fragile Items?

Movers handle valuables and fragile items with utmost care and precision. The process typically involves wrapping each delicate item with protective materials such as bubble wrap or packing paper. Special attention is given to corners and other vulnerable areas. Fragile items are then carefully placed in sturdy boxes, often with additional padding to prevent movement during transit. These boxes are labeled as ‘Fragile’ to ensure they are cautiously handled. These items are strategically placed in the moving truck to avoid pressure from heavier objects, often secured with straps or ropes to minimize movement.

MG Moving Services takes the handling of your valuables and fragile items very seriously. Our team is trained in the best packing techniques to ensure the safety of your delicate belongings. We use high-quality packing materials and take the time to secure each item correctly. We pay special attention to placing and securing boxes containing fragile items during transport. We aim to deliver all your belongings, especially the most delicate ones, to your new location in the same condition as before the move.

How am I Covered for Damage During My In-State Move?

Coverage for damaged items starts with Limited Liability Coverage. This follows a government regulation that requires all movers to offer 60 cents per pound per coverage item. Typically, this isn’t enough coverage, as this would translate to a 30-pound TV only being covered for $18. Since many people want more coverage, most moving companies offer additional coverage for an extra cost. This comes in the form of Full Value Protection. This means you would be covered for the complete cost of damaged items.

MG Moving Services offers various coverage options to protect your belongings during the move, including Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection. We understand the importance of safeguarding your possessions, and our team is committed to handling your items with the utmost care. In the rare event of damage, our coverage options are designed to provide peace of mind and financial protection. We encourage you to discuss their coverage needs, ensuring they choose the best option for their specific moving situation.
