residential relocation
Movemart Relocation and Wheaton World Wide Moving make the perfect team to help you relocate your home and your life. Whether you’re moving across the street or across the country, Movemart Relocation and Wheaton Worldwide Moving have you covered. Movemart Relocation has developed a specialized approach to moving customers into and out of their Columbia and Fort Smith homes and into their new lives.
What is residential moving? Here’s how we look at it:
- Moving from one home to another – One that you’re selling and one that you’re buying elsewhere
- Moving from an apartment to a house
- Moving from one apartment to another apartment
Moving companies put residential moves into some broader categories:
Local Moves – Generally, moves that are 50 miles or less, within a state, are considered local moves depending on the state. Movemart Relocation will know your state’s rules and regulations related to moving. You can also check with your state’s Department of Transportation.
INTRAstate Moves – Generally, intrastate moves are those greater than 50 miles but within the same state. Again, that rule depends entirely on state law.
INTERstate Moves – Generally, interstate moves are those that cross state lines (e.g. California to South Carolina or Minnesota to South Carolina).
Where does the van line come in?
Wheaton, and other van lines have special authority to move household goods across state lines. Many local agents do not have the authority to perform interstate moves on their own, without the help of an interstate van line like Wheaton World Wide Moving. Wheaton extends that authority to local agents, like Movemart Relocation in Columbia, so they can move your belongings from a home in one state to a home in another. You can think of Wheaton as a network of moving agents all working to ensure your household goods get from your origin to destination.
Wheaton’s moving services begin with your local agent well before the truck arrives and lasts long after your final box is unpacked. Movemart Relocation coordinates your move in conjuction with Wheaton corporate headquarters and is a resource available to you throughout the entire process.
Moving can seem a little daunting at first but Wheaton’s years of experience and knowledge of the moving industry will make for a smooth transition.
