Moving can be tough. Some surveys have even found it to rank in the top 5 of life’s most stressful events. Now add to that the idea of moving all your belongings not just down the street—but to another coast—and you’ve got a recipe for a stress-induced ulcer. To help put your mind at ease, here’s a bit of the step-by-step process you can expect when working with a long-distance moving company like Bighorn. 

What is full-service long-distance moving?

Full service means you don’t have to lift a finger—except maybe to call us. We handle everything from 

• Packing and unpacking (at cost, if desired)

• Pick up

• Transport 

• Delivery

DIY long-distance moving

If you prefer a DIY approach, that’s totally possible. What that looks like is:

• Delivery of storage containers to your home to fill yourself on your time

• Packing materials available to rent or purchase

• We handle the shipping to your destination in Canada, the U.S., or even overseas

The things you can’t imagine transporting

Have you ever stared at your pool table thinking, “There’s no way I can get that thing across the ocean?” Well, think again. We have our ways for fragile items, bulky items, or even cars. If you prefer to pack fragile items on your own, that’s totally fine. If furniture needs to be disassembled and put back together, a seasoned long-distance mover can handle that for you. 

But my move date and move-in date don’t add up!

Well, forget it then! Just kidding—mismatched move dates when moving abroad is common. It’s hard to get the timing right when moving long distances. In cases like that, working with a professional long-distance moving company means that we can also store your belongings in secure, movable storage containers until the big day.
