Find the Best Shipping Company

  • Pick a shipping company that fits your needs, like your budget, schedule, and your specific item.
  • Research and gather quotes from multiple shipping companies before choosing one.
  • Check their reviews to see if they are trustworthy, delivering on time, and damage-free.
  • Look at their FMCSA licensing credentials.
  • Review their valuation coverage. If they don’t provide enough to protect your item you may want to purchase additional protection.

Choose a shipping method

When transporting items, it’s important to understand how to choose the correct method of transport.

Crated or palletized: This is a safe method to use when transporting an item over a long distance. It also makes the item easier to handle and it’s the preferred method for most freight companies. These freight companies generally don’t crate or palletize your shipment for you, so this is something you will need to take care of on your own before you book the shipment. Simply said, crating or palletizing is an additional cost to you. 

Hand packed: Specialized moving networks like Moveitem can perform a majority of the  pack and ship process on your item during the loading process. This is almost always the easiest and many times the cheapest option to ship an item.

Prepare Your Item for Transport

Before your carrier arrives to pick up your item, you’ll want to prepare for the transport process.

Secure any loose pieces, parts, keys, cords, etc. If your item has very fragile parts you may want to consider wrapping those areas in some type of protective packaging. Also, please make sure your item is not leaking any type of fluids.
