Long distance movers generally base their moving estimate on an Out of State rate, based on the total cubic feet of the shipment. This method does not work well for long distance moving companies. It is almost impossible to calculate the actual total cubic feet since the mover has to use an "average cubic feet" for each item. Our industry experience has shown us that this method is inaccurate; and in most cases, it is the customer who bears the burden for that inaccuracy. If you receive moving quote from a long distance mover that is based on cubic feet, rather than weight, watch out. This may indicate that the mover does not have the real, long distance experience that you need.
