How we plan a smooth Alaska → Ohio relocation

A successful moving plan turns a long map into clear steps. Here’s the typical flow we use for AK to OH:

1. Virtual or on-site survey – We inventory your items and discuss access (elevators, narrow roads, ferry timing).
2. Written, itemized estimate – You’ll see line-item clarity: labor, materials, transit, storage (if needed).
3. Packing day – Our movers arrive with materials sized for Alaskan conditions; we label by room and priority.
4. Linehaul & transfer – We coordinate the over-water portion and the continental leg, optimizing routes and timing.
5. Delivery and setup – In Ohio, our crew places boxes where they belong, reassembles furniture, and hauls away debris.
6. Post-move check-in – Your coordinator confirms everything arrived as promised and resolves any punch-list items.

Costs, timing, and how to get a reliable number

No two Alaska-to-Ohio shipments are identical. Your price depends on inventory size, seasonality, access at pickup/delivery, packing scope, and any storage or vehicle transport. Instead of guesswork, we give you a precise number fast.

Comparing your options: movers, brokers, and local teams

• Star Van Lines (carrier-led approach): We put trained movers on your job and manage the entire chain of custody.
• Long distance moving companies (national): Many are solid—but confirm who actually handles your freight.
• Local moving companies (single-city): Great for short hops, but most local moving companies don’t operate the AK to OH corridor or multi-modal moves.
• Brokers: They can match you with a carrier. Ask how claims and scheduling are handled.

When you talk to long distance moving companies, ask about direct control of your shipment, winter handling protocols, and whether they offer guaranteed pickup dates. Star Van Lines will walk you through those answers in writing.

Protection for your belongings—mile after mile

• Premium packing materials designed for temperature swings and long transit
• Inventory labeling so every piece is scanned at each handoff
• Furniture blankets and shrink wrap for the entire trip, not just loading day
• Claim-avoidance first: door jamb protectors, floor runners, and lift-gate equipment where needed
• Coverage options from standard to full replacement for peace of mind

• Winter-proof sensitive items. For cold-weather pickups, let electronics warm to room temp before powering on.
• Photograph setups. Snap TV, PC, and router wiring so reassembly is quick.
