In-State Long Distance Moves

Long Distance Moves

Ah, moving long distance! We do it for lots of reasons... you just got a new job, you or someone in the family is just starting at a new school, or maybe you just have a great sense of adventure! Whatever your reasons may be, long distance moves can be heavy work. We wouldn't want you to go at it alone.

Long Distance Moves In-State

Thankfully, moving to the other side of the state doesn't entail all the information uproot that moving out-of-state does. When you move to another state, you have to change your driver's license, address, and so much more. Plus, laws and regulations vary from state to state, so you might end up feeling out of the loop for a little while!

If you're moving long distance in-state, however, all you have to do is prepare yourself for the long drive. We handle moving all of your furniture, clothes, and other belongings. If you live in Arizona and you need to make a long distance move in-state, call us at Bulwark. We specialize in this kind of thing- so we'll have your house or apartment packed and unpacked across the state without a problem.

Moving can be an exhausting process. Let Bulwark Moving take the stress out of your move with our suite of moving services including:

• Local Moves
• Business Moves
• Packing Services- Full or Partial
• In State Long Distance Moves
• Senior Moving Services

Remember, we do not charge extra for weekend moves!

Moving During The Holidays

Moving can be stressful, and this time of year can be stressful; put them together, and you've got a lot on your plate. But that doesn't mean you should be overwhelmed or cancel plans! With the right plan and positive attitude, you can ring in 2015 all moved in to your new home.

To avoid emotional distress, be sure to pack the belongings that mean the most to you first; pack the lights and holiday decorations in the last box. If you have children in your family, assure them that moving into a new house doesn't mean the holidays are canceled.

If a big holiday meal is important to your family, you can uphold traditions by having the big feast at another relative's house. Bringing a tin of festive cookies or a bottle of sparkling wine is a warm gesture that doesn't entail stressing over preparing an elaborate meal. Of course, you always have the option to postpone moving in the middle of the festivities. Pack up and leave the house in containers or a storage facility while you relax and enjoy your holidays.

Happy moving, and happy holidays from all of us here at the Bulwark Moving Company!

Messy Movers: How Dishonest Moving Companies Scam Unsuspecting Customers

You might have heard a horror story from a friend or family member about a bad moving experience, or a good move gone wrong when the bill arrives afterward. The moving industry as a whole has a spotty reputation due to scam tactics, but you don't have to become a victim of shady movers!

Congratulations, you found a super low quote online on your upcoming move. The bulk of your move is priced by the pound. You're not sure how much your furniture weighs exactly, but you trust the company will take care of you. The contract is signed, your furniture is all loaded into the truck, and now you're presented with the final cost-- but it's more than double what they quoted you. Where did all these charges come from? Now, they're saying if you don't pay the unexpected fees, they'll lock up the truck and take your belongings with them. This is called the Bait and Switch.

The contract Movers are even advertising their companies without real licenses! Being pulled over and caught mid-move without a valid business license means the truck gets impounded-- along with all of YOUR belongings. Another thing dishonest companies love to do is change their names once they've been blacklisted for dirty work. Make sure to do your research before settling on a company. They may not be who they say they are.

All this information about moving scammers is enough to make you consider doing it yourself with a pickup truck, but even DIY has its setbacks. Far too often, pricing quotes on rental trucks don't include insurance on the vehicle or furniture. How will you know which size truck to rent? The associates leasing you the truck aren't trained to direct you to the vehicle best fit for the job, as their work isn't geared towards moving large pieces of furniture. Don't forget about the price of diesel, and several other hidden surcharges that aren't mentioned until you return the vehicle, including but not limited to, refueling and cleaning charges.

And remember: Bulwark Moving has no hidden fees or upcharges-- none. Don't fall for these moving company tricks, and you'll be well on your way to your new home.
