LOCAL MOVING VS. LONG-DISTANCE MOVING SERVICES: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
When planning a move, it's essential to understand the scope of services required. Local and long-distance moves differ in several key areas, including logistics, planning time, and service complexity.
Local Moving
Local moving typically refers to relocations within the same city or surrounding region, such as Greater Victoria. These services usually include:
-
Completion within a single day.
-
Include standard moving equipment and transport.
-
Require minimal travel planning.
-
May be scheduled with shorter notice.
Local moves often include residential, apartment transitions, or office relocations within the same municipality.
Long-distance Moving
Long-distance moving involves relocations beyond 100 kilometres, often between cities or provinces. These services require:
-
Detailed route planning and scheduling.
-
Advanced coordination and packing support.
-
Inventory tracking and protection plans.
J & L Moving & Storage provides both options—our team endeavours to precisely manage each type of move, regardless of distance or load size.
HOW TO PACK PROPERLY FOR A SMOOTH MOVING PROCESS
Packing is a critical component of any relocation. Improper packing can lead to delays, confusion, or damage to your belongings. Adequate preparation helps streamline the overall moving and storage experience.
To prepare for a move:
-
Use uniform boxes for stacking and secure transport.
-
Label each box clearly with its destination room and contents.
-
Wrap fragile items with cushioning materials such as bubble wrap or packing paper.
-
Seal boxes completely with quality packing tape.
For office moving, it's important to:
-
Back up digital data.
-
Organize documents by department.
-
Label hardware and cabling for reassembly.
-
Disassemble modular furniture in advance, where possible.
Our moving team provides guidance on proper packing methods and can offer packing services for added convenience.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK MOVING SERVICES?
Booking moving services in advance is essential to secure preferred time slots and ensure adequate preparation. In Victoria, demand typically increases during:
-
Late spring through early autumn.
-
Month-end and beginning dates.
-
Weekends and public holidays.
To avoid scheduling limitations, it is recommended to:
-
Book 4–6 weeks in advance for long-distance or large-scale moves.
-
Book 2–3 weeks in advance for local residential or office moves.
Planning ahead allows time for site assessments, logistics, and arranging any special equipment or materials required.
