Customers want to know moving companies transit times

How long do I have to wait in my empty house before my shipment arrives?    This is probably one of the most frequent questions we get here at Condor Moving Systems.    Every time someone moves there is always inconvenience.  These inconveniences can  either be having to get together friends and family to take off time to help move you in a u-haul then driving to your destination or hiring  a moving company then having to wait for shipment at your destination.    Most people hate the concept of having to wait in a empty house or sleep on the floor even just to move.  What people don’t realize is what it takes to do a long distance move.   

 

As soon as someone books with a full service moving company for a move that is going from one state to another it takes careful planning on the part of the moving companies part in order to get the best rates possible to the customer.  Once a moving company has picked up a customer’s shipment  the shipment are sometimes taken back to a that companies warehouse where shipments are consolidated onto a 18-wheeler and sent to multiple destinations.  This  the part that determines how long the actual transit time is going to be which is figured out by  where the shipment is going and how many stops the driver will have before he gets.      So how long am I going to have to wait in a empty house again?    This can vary depending on the moving companies written tariff.   It can either be with Condor it is only 1-10 business days.    Condor will let you know 24 to 48 hours before delivery  when your shipment will arrive.    In conclusion always ask what the transit time  for a company you choose to go with.   But how can I get my shipment earlier?   A moving company can get a shipment to you sooner with what is called a dedicated truck which is expensive almost twice as much as a standard move so to get best price you will always have a few days to wait for a out of state move.
