Long Distance Movers in Olympia and Western Washington

The movers should provide accurate estimates, transparent pricing, and support throughout the relocation process. Reliability also means being licensed, insured and prepared with the proper equipment and trained staff for long hauls.

A&E Relocation Services delivers all of this and more. With a strong reputation in Olympia, Washington, and beyond, A&E ensures that every move, whether across county lines or state borders, is handled with professionalism and care. Their experienced team and dedication to stress-free service make a trusted process for long-distance moving.

According to Moving.com, “The average cost of a local move is $1,250; a long-distance move is $4,890 (distance of 1,000 miles). These estimates are based on a two- to three-bedroom move of approximately 7,500 pounds.” 

“At A&E, we believe in providing transparent and competitive pricing for every move. We work closely with our customers to create customized moving plans that fit their needs and budget, so there are no surprises, just reliable service start to finish,” Office Manager, Kira McIntyre, promises.

Long-distance movers specialize in helping individuals and families relocate across state lines or even across the country.

A&E Location Services, headquartered in Lacey, Washington, offers comprehensive long-distance moving services to all 50 states. Their primary service area encompasses Olympia, Washington, as well as nearby cities such as Seattle and Tacoma. 

Through their partnership with Mayflower Transit, they extend their reach to interstate and international moves, ensuring that clients receive consistent and reliable service regardless of the distance. Whether you are relocating within Washington State, across the country, or internationally, A&E Relocation Services is equipped to handle your move with professionalism and care. The team is trained to manage the complexities of long-distance relocations, providing services such as packing, loading, transportation, and storage solutions tailored to your needs. 

“From right here in Olympia, we proudly serve families and businesses moving across Washington and throughout the entire United States.

Timing can make a significant difference when planning a long-distance move. While summer is the busiest season due to school breaks and ideal weather, it often comes with higher prices and limited availability. If you’re looking for more flexibility and potential cost savings, the best time to schedule your move is during the off-peak months-typically late fall through early spring. These seasons offer more open schedules and personalized service, which can be especially helpful when managing a complex relocation. 

Additionally, Moving.com states, “Summer is the busiest season for moving, meaning higher costs and lower availability of moving services.” 

Kira McIntyre, Office Manager, has an important take on moving times. “The best time to plan a long-distance move is during the spring or fall when demand is lower and scheduling is more flexible. At A&E, we help our clients choose the right time to move based on their needs, budget and timeline-ensuring a smoother experience from start to finish.”

Packing services and materials are available with every long-distance move, but they’re tailored to your specific needs rather than automatically included in the base cost. You can choose from full-service packing, where our trained crew handles everything from delicate items to large furniture, or partial packing if you only need help with certain rooms or fragile belongings.

If you prefer to pack on your own, A&E Relocation Services also offers a range of quality moving supplies, including boxes, tape, wrapping paper, and specialty cartons. We can assist with unpacking once you arrive at your new home. Your move coordinator will walk you through all available packing options during your estimate, allowing you to decide which level of support works best for your budget. 

A&E’s Office Manager, Kira McIntyre, explains, “At A&E Relocation Services, we know that a successful long-distance move starts with the right preparation. That’s why we offer high-quality packaging materials and full-service packing options as part of our long-distance moving packages- so our clients can feel confident their belongings are protected every mile of the way.”

Timing depends on factors such as the move, distance, size of the load and route logistics. Most long-distance moves take anywhere from two days to a week, depending on how far you’re going and what services are included. Good movers will provide a delivery window and keep you informed throughout the process.

A&E Relocation Services works efficiently to meet delivery timelines while ensuring safe transport. Their team keeps you informed at every stage of the move, offering realistic delivery estimates and timely communication. With A&E, you can always know where your belongings are and when they’ll arrive.

Office Manager, Kira McIntyre, assures, “Understanding that a long-distance move is more than just transporting belongings—  it’s about transitioning into a new chapter of life. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, our team is committed to providing a seamless and stress-free experience every step of the way.”

Yes, under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) guidelines, interstate movers are required to offer two types of liability coverage. 

Released Value Protection: This is the most economical option, offered at no additional charge. However, it provides minimal protection, covering your belongings at 60 cents per pound per item. 

Full Value Protection: This comprehensive plan holds the mover liable for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods in your entire shipment. Unless you select the Released Value option, your shipment will automatically be transported under Full Value Protection.

Additionally, “[License and insurance] is non-negotiable. For interstate moves, your movers must have a USDOT number, which is a license issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. For in-state moves, regulations vary, so check your state’s requirements,” Forbes.com adds.

“Protecting our customers’ belongings is our top priority. From high-quality packing materials to careful handling and secure loading, every step of our process is designed to ensure our items arrive safely, no matter the distance,” Kira McIntyre, Office Manager, mentions.
