Full Service Moving
Take the Work Out of Moving
A move has a way of taking over your time long before moving day ever arrives. It starts with a few boxes and a couple of decisions. Then it expands room by room, detail by detail, until you’re managing packing, protection, logistics, and timing all at once. What seems straightforward at first quickly turns into something that requires constant attention just to keep everything on track.
Full service moving with Bekins Van Lines takes it all off your to-do list. Your dedicated move specialist defines the timeline, documents the details, and stays accountable from start to finish. Trained crews handle packing, loading, and unloading with consistency and care, while storage is built into the plan if your timing requires it. Your shipment is tracked, your schedule is managed, and you receive updates without having to ask.
You’re still in control—you’re just not carrying the workload.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. We want you to take advantage of whatever services will make your move easiest for you. Full service includes customer service. Work with your Bekins move manager to determine which services are best for you. Plus, your Bekins agent can provide all the packing supplies you’ll need to get you started.
One thing worth knowing: valuation coverage works differently depending on who packs the box. When Bekins packs a carton, we’re responsible for damage to its contents. If the articles you pack yourself are damaged, it may be more difficult to establish your claim against the mover for those boxes (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration). Your move manager can help you decide what makes sense to hand off.
Yes. Bekins Van Lines works across the country to bring people and businesses to their new destinations. Our full service interstate moving services will make your cross country relocation more manageable.
It’s also worth understanding what changes when you cross a state line. Interstate moves fall under federal jurisdiction through the FMCSA, not state-level rules. That means your estimate, bill of lading, valuation options, and consumer rights all follow a standardized federal framework. A household goods broker arranges for the transportation of your shipment, but does not provide line-haul transportation. Bekins is a licensed interstate carrier, not a broker, so we’re the ones operating the truck and accountable for your shipment from origin to destination.
The cost of Bekins’ full service moving varies based on factors like distance, the volume of items, and additional services. Bekins provides personalized quotes to fit your specific moving needs.
Unlike local moves, which are typically priced by the hour, interstate moves are priced on actual shipment weight and mileage. The estimate is based on a physical survey of your home, in-person or virtual. You can choose a binding estimate, which locks your cost to the agreed scope, or a non-binding estimate based on actual weight at time of loading. Under a non-binding estimate, the moving company cannot require you to pay more than 110 percent of the non-binding estimate at the time of delivery (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration). Accessorial charges like long carry, stair fees, or shuttle service are separate line items your move manager will document in advance.
Yes, Bekins’ full service movers can pack all your belongings, from fragile items to large furniture, ensuring everything is securely packed and ready for transport.
Professional packing also affects how your valuation coverage applies. Carrier-packed cartons carry different liability than owner-packed ones. In practice it means dishes packed vertically rather than stacked flat, mirrors and glass with custom corner protection, and furniture padded, shrink-wrapped, and inventoried by item number against your bill of lading before anything goes on the truck.
Yes, Bekins’ full service movers are trained to handle specialty items like pianos, artwork, antiques, and large furniture with care and expertise.
The handling approach is specific to the item, not just generally careful. Any item whose value exceeds $100 per pound, including jewelry, silverware, china, furs, antiques, and oriental rugs, is considered an article of extraordinary value. Those items need to be declared in writing before the move or your mover’s liability for them is capped regardless of the valuation coverage you selected. Pianos require disassembly and a piano board, with different approaches for uprights versus grands. Fine art often calls for custom crating rather than blanket wrapping. All of it gets planned in the pre-move survey so the right crew and materials are ready on moving day.
