Next Steps
What Happens After You Request a Free Moving Quote
Most moving quote forms send your information to multiple companies who compete to call you first. That is not how we work. Here is exactly what happens after you submit your details to Coastal Moving Services.
1
A Real Person Reviews Your Submission
Your free moving quote request goes directly to our team, not into an automated lead distribution system. We review your route, home size, and move date before reaching out so the first conversation is specific to your move, not a generic sales call.
2
We Search Our Network for Your Route
We check availability across our network of FMCSA-registered interstate moving companies for your specific origin, destination, and move date. We confirm active operating authority and current cargo insurance before presenting any option for your shipment.
3
You Receive a Written Price
We send your moving quote in writing before you commit to anything. You will see the company name, full pricing breakdown, and whether the price is binding or non-binding. If you want a binding price that locks in your cost regardless of final weight, we flag that option at this stage.
4
You Decide With No Pressure
There is no obligation to book after receiving your moving quote. If you have questions, want to adjust your inventory, or need a different pickup window, we work through those details before anything is signed. We want the move to be right before the contract is finalized, not after.
Why Coastal
Why Request Your Moving Quote Through Coastal Moving Services
Getting a free moving quote from a broker is different from calling a single company directly. Here is what that difference means for your move and your budget.
01
Access to Multiple Moving Companies on One Route
When you call a single moving company, you get one price. When you request a free moving quote through Coastal, we check availability and pricing across our entire network for your specific route and move date. That gives you a competitive rate rather than whatever a single company decides to charge that week.
02
Every Moving Company Is Screened Before You See Them
We verify active FMCSA operating authority, current cargo insurance, and service history for every moving company before presenting them as an option for your move. You will never receive a quote from a company we have not already checked against the FMCSA SAFER database.
03
Your Information Stays With Us
We do not sell your contact details to third parties or distribute your moving quote request to a network of competing brokers. Your submission goes to our team only. You will hear from Coastal Moving Services, not from ten different companies calling you within the hour.
04
Binding Prices Protect You From Delivery Day Surprises
A binding moving quote locks your price before the truck is loaded. The written price you receive is the number you pay at delivery regardless of what your shipment weighs at the certified scale. We offer binding price options on every interstate move we coordinate and explain the difference clearly before you sign anything.
Be Prepared
What to Have Ready Before You Request a Moving Quote
The more accurate your details are when you submit your free moving quote request, the more accurate your price will be. Long distance moves are priced by shipment weight and mileage. Both of those numbers change depending on what you are moving and exactly where you are going. A rough inventory and a confirmed move date give us everything we need to send a meaningful moving quote on the first pass.
You do not need a room-by-room spreadsheet to get started. A general sense of your home size, the large items you are bringing, and any specialty pieces that need extra handling is enough for an initial price. If anything changes before your move date, we adjust your price before anything is signed.
If you are still several weeks out and your move date is not confirmed, that is fine. Let us know your target window and we will check moving company availability across those dates so you have pricing context before you commit to a specific day.
What to Prepare
Your Full Origin and Destination Addresses
The exact pickup and delivery addresses determine the mileage component of your moving quote. City and state is enough to get started but full addresses allow us to check for access issues such as narrow streets, stairs, or elevator-only buildings that affect final pricing.
Your Target Move Date or Window
A specific date or a two-week target window is enough. Moving company availability shifts week to week, especially between May and September. The earlier we know your window, the more options we can present at competitive rates.
Your Home Size and General Inventory
Number of bedrooms and a general sense of how much you are bringing gives us a starting weight estimate. Let us know if you are taking everything, downsizing significantly, or leaving large items behind so the price reflects your actual shipment.
Any Specialty or High-Value Items
Pianos, gun safes, antique furniture, and large artwork require moving companies with specific equipment and handling experience. Flagging these items upfront means we match you to the right company from the start rather than discovering the issue on pickup day.
Any Add-On Services You Need
If you need professional packing, storage in transit, vehicle transport, or furniture disassembly, let us know when you submit your request. These services are priced and coordinated alongside your household goods shipment rather than booked separately.
The Process
From Quote Request to Move Day: How the Process Works
A long distance move involves more moving parts than a local job. Here is a clear timeline of what happens between the moment you submit your free moving quote request and the day your belongings are delivered to your new home.
Step 1: Submit Your Quote Request
Fill out the form on this page or call us directly at (334) 659-1878. We collect your origin, destination, move date, home size, and any specialty items or add-on services you need. This takes less than two minutes and puts your move in front of our team immediately.
Step 2: Moving Company Matching and Price Preparation
We search our network for FMCSA-registered moving companies with availability on your route and move date. We confirm their operating authority and insurance are current, check their service record, and prepare a written moving quote based on your inventory and confirmed mileage.
Step 3: Review Your Written Moving Quote
You receive a written moving quote that includes the company name, full pricing breakdown, and whether the price is binding or non-binding. Take the time you need to review it. If you want adjustments to the inventory, a different pickup window, or a binding price option, we handle those revisions before anything is signed.
Step 4: Sign and Lock In Your Pickup Date
Once you approve the moving quote and sign the moving contract, your pickup window is confirmed with your assigned company. You receive their direct contact information at this point so you have a line of communication independent of our team.
Step 5: Pickup Day Inventory and Loading
Your moving company arrives during the confirmed window and completes a written inventory of every item being loaded. Review this inventory carefully before signing it. Any pre-existing damage should be noted on the bill of lading at pickup, not after delivery. Our team is reachable on pickup day if anything comes up.
Step 6: Transit, Delivery, and Follow-Up
Your moving company transports your shipment to your delivery address within the confirmed window. We follow up after delivery to confirm everything arrived and address any concerns. If anything was damaged in transit, we walk you through the claims process and stay involved until the matter is resolved.

FAQ
Questions About Getting a Free Long Distance Moving Quote
Answers to the questions we hear most often from customers before they submit a moving quote request.
Is there any cost or obligation to request a free moving quote?
No. Requesting a free moving quote through Coastal Moving Services carries no obligation to book. We send you a written price, you review it at your own pace, and you decide whether to move forward. If the price does not work for your budget or timeline, you are not committed to anything.
How long does it take to receive a moving quote after I submit the form?
Most moving quote requests submitted during business hours receive a response the same day. For requests submitted on evenings or weekends, we follow up on the next business day. If your move date is coming up quickly and you need pricing faster, call us directly at (334) 659-1878 and we will work through your details on the call.
Will my information be shared with other moving companies?
No. Your contact details and move information stay with Coastal Moving Services only. We do not sell leads or share submissions with third-party brokers or lead aggregators. You will hear from our team and the moving company we assign to your move, not from a list of companies competing for your business.
What is the difference between a binding and non-binding moving quote?
A binding moving quote is a locked price. Whatever the written price says is what you pay at delivery regardless of your shipment's actual weight at the certified scale. A non-binding quote is based on a projected weight and can increase after weigh-in. Federal law caps the amount a moving company can collect above a non-binding quote at delivery at 110 percent of the original figure, with any amount above that billed within 30 days. If price certainty is important to you, ask us for a binding moving quote when we send your price.
How accurate will my moving quote be if I do not have a full inventory ready?
A general sense of your home size and the large items you are bringing is enough to produce a useful starting moving quote. Long distance moves are priced by shipment weight, so the more detail you provide about what you are taking, the closer your price will be to your final cost. If your inventory changes before your move date, we revise the quote before anything is signed. You are not locked into the initial figure.
Can I get a free moving quote if my move date is not confirmed yet?
Yes. If you have a target window rather than a confirmed date, let us know the range and we will check moving company availability across those dates. This gives you a realistic picture of pricing and availability before you commit to a specific day. Moving company availability tightens during peak season between May and September, so having a pricing baseline early helps you make a more informed decision on timing.
Will I know which moving company is handling my shipment before I sign anything?
Yes. Federal law requires moving brokers to provide moving company information before your move date. We go further than the minimum requirement. You receive your assigned company's name, direct contact number, USDOT number, and MC number as part of the written moving quote package. You can verify their license independently on the FMCSA SAFER database before signing anything or allowing a single item to be loaded.
What if I need to change my inventory or move date after receiving a moving quote?
Changes before the contract is signed are straightforward. We revise the moving quote to reflect your updated inventory or new move date and recheck moving company availability if the timing shifts significantly. Changes after signing depend on how close you are to your pickup date and whether your assigned company can accommodate the adjustment. Contact our team as early as possible if your plans change so we have the most options available to work with.
