Alaska Moving Services

The services you need depend on what you want the provider to handle. A crew can load a truck you already rented, move the contents of an apartment across town or pack a household for freight and deliver it after a storage period. Start by deciding what you will do yourself. Then give providers one clear description of the work you want quoted.

Choose the service that fits your move

Local moving

Local moving

For moves between nearby addresses, ask about crew size, time, travel and access. Share stairs, elevator windows and distance from the truck to each door.
Long-distance moving

Long-distance moving

For a move across Alaska or to another state, ask about routing, transfers, pickup and delivery windows, and the carrier handling the shipment.
Office moving

Office moving

Identify which desks, files, equipment and work areas must be ready first. Give the mover a floor plan and agree with your IT team on who disconnects and reinstalls equipment.
Packing and unpacking

Packing and unpacking

Select a whole-home service or assign specific rooms and fragile items to the crew. Ask how cartons, materials, crating and debris removal are priced.
Moving and storage

Moving and storage

If your dates do not line up, price storage together with the cost to put goods into the facility and deliver them later. Ask when billing starts and how you can retrieve individual items.
Ferry and barge moves

Ferry and barge moves

If one leg goes by water, specify the departure and arrival points and who handles freight at each end. Ask whether your estimate ends at a terminal or at your home.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine packing, storage and moving in one estimate?

Ask a provider to itemize the services it can handle and identify any work assigned to another company. Confirm the price for materials, storage intake, warehouse time and delivery to the new address separately.

Can I hire movers just to load a rental truck?

Ask for labor-only service and give the crew the truck size, inventory and access details. Confirm who provides dollies, pads, a ramp and tie-downs, and who is responsible for securing the load.

Which service do I need for a move to Juneau?

For two local addresses, start with local moving. If your belongings enter or leave Juneau’s road network, compare options for the water or freight leg and home delivery. Ask whether one company can cover the full route or whether you need separate providers. Explore moving in Juneau.

Is unpacking part of full-service moving?

The written estimate defines the work. Ask about unboxing, furniture reassembly, placement, setup and removal of packing material. Confirm which rooms and items are included.
