Hear from Our Customers
When you’re moving hundreds or thousands of miles from Southampton, the stakes are higher. You’re not just worried about scratched furniture. You’re thinking about whether the company will actually show up, whether your quote will triple halfway through, and whether your grandmother’s antique dresser will survive the trip.
Here’s what actually happens when the move goes right. Your belongings get packed by people who’ve done this thousands of times. They’re loaded into a truck that’s going directly to your new address, not sitting in a warehouse for weeks. You get updates during transit, not radio silence. And when the truck arrives, your movers don’t just dump boxes in the garage—they place furniture where you want it and don’t leave until the job’s done.
That’s the difference between a long distance moving company that treats this like a transaction and one that understands you’re trusting them with everything you own. You’re paying for experience, insurance, and accountability. Not the cheapest quote that sounds good until moving day.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned business serving Southampton and the broader Long Island area. We’re not a franchise or a broker who farms your move out to the lowest bidder. When you book with us, our team handles your relocation from start to finish.
We’re fully insured and bonded for interstate moves, which isn’t optional—it’s the law. But plenty of companies skip it anyway. We don’t. We’ve built our reputation in Southampton by showing up when we say we will, charging what we quoted, and treating high-value homes with the care they require.
Southampton’s median home value and the caliber of belongings we move here mean there’s no room for amateurs. Our crews have handled everything from 10,000-square-foot estates to small apartment relocations across state lines. We know what it takes to move pianos, safes, antiques, and fragile items without incident.
First, you reach out for a quote. We’ll ask about your timeline, where you’re moving, and what you’re bringing. You’ll get a transparent estimate based on the volume of your belongings and the distance—no bait-and-switch pricing that magically doubles on moving day.
Once you’re booked, we schedule your packing and loading date. If you want full-service packing, our team arrives with materials and handles everything. If you’re packing yourself, we’ll load the truck with the same care either way. Furniture gets wrapped, fragile items get secured, and everything is inventoried before it leaves Southampton.
During transit, your belongings are on a dedicated route to your destination. We’re not making six other stops or storing your stuff in a warehouse for weeks. You’ll have a timeline for delivery and a contact if anything changes.
When we arrive at your new place, we unload, unpack if that’s part of your service, and set up furniture where you want it. We don’t consider the job done until you’re satisfied. That’s the process—no surprises, no runaround.

Our long distance moving services cover the full scope of what it takes to relocate across state lines from Southampton. That includes professional packing if you want it, loading, transport, unloading, and furniture setup at your destination. We handle specialty items like pianos, pool tables, safes, and antiques that require extra care and equipment.
You’re moving from an area where the median household income is $177,045 and 85.7% of homes are detached single-family properties. That means you likely have more to move than the average relocation, and the value of those items is significant. We adjust our approach accordingly. High-value artwork, heirlooms, and oversized furniture get the attention they require.
We also offer flexible scheduling, which matters when you’re coordinating a long distance move around closing dates, lease timelines, or family logistics. If your plans shift, we work with you. And if you need last-minute availability because another company bailed, we’ve accommodated that before.
The goal is simple: get everything from point A to point B without damage, delays, or hidden fees. You shouldn’t have to worry about whether your movers will show up or whether your belongings are being held hostage for extra payment. That’s not how we operate.
Long distance moves from Southampton generally range between $4,300 and $5,000, but that’s an industry average. Your actual cost depends on how much you’re moving, how far you’re going, and what services you need. A 2,000-square-foot home moving to Florida will cost more than a one-bedroom apartment moving to Pennsylvania.
We base quotes on the volume of your belongings and the distance to your destination. If you want full-service packing, that’s an additional cost. Same with specialty item handling for things like pianos or safes. We give you a detailed estimate upfront so you know what you’re paying before we start.
Beware of quotes that sound too good to be true—they usually are. Some companies lowball the estimate to get you to book, then hit you with extra charges on moving day. We don’t do that. Our quote is our quote, and we put it in writing.
Check three things: licensing, insurance, and reviews. For interstate moves, companies need a USDOT number issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. You can verify that online. If a company can’t provide that number or tells you they don’t need one, walk away.
Insurance matters because things can go wrong over hundreds of miles. A legitimate long distance moving company will be fully insured and bonded. Ask for proof. If they hesitate or dodge the question, that’s a red flag.
Finally, read reviews—but read them carefully. Look for patterns. If multiple people mention hidden fees, damaged items, or no-shows, believe them. We’re a family-owned business with a track record in Southampton and across Long Island. Our reputation is built on showing up, doing the work, and charging what we quoted.
A broker doesn’t move your stuff—they sell your job to another company, often the cheapest one available. You might book with a broker thinking you’re hiring a professional mover, but on moving day, a completely different crew shows up. Sometimes that crew is fine. Sometimes they’re not.
The problem with brokers is accountability. If something goes wrong, the broker blames the mover, and the mover blames the broker. You’re stuck in the middle with damaged belongings and no clear path to resolution.
When you hire All Terrain Moving, you’re hiring the people who actually do the work. Our crew loads your truck, drives it to your destination, and unloads it. If there’s an issue, you call us—not a middleman. That’s why we don’t broker jobs. We handle them ourselves.
It depends on where you’re going. A move from Southampton to a nearby state like Pennsylvania or Connecticut might take one to two days. A cross country move to California or Texas could take five to seven days, sometimes longer depending on the route and any logistical factors.
We give you a delivery window when you book, not a vague “sometime next week.” You’ll know when to expect your belongings. If anything changes during transit—weather delays, road closures, whatever—we’ll update you.
Keep in mind that long distance moves aren’t like local moves where everything happens in one day. Your items are traveling hundreds or thousands of miles. The timeline reflects that reality. But we don’t drag it out unnecessarily, and we don’t let your stuff sit in a warehouse while we pick up other jobs. Your move is your move.
You need to be there at the beginning when we load the truck in Southampton and at the end when we deliver to your new location. Those are the two critical points where you’ll do a walkthrough, confirm the inventory, and sign off on the condition of your belongings.
During the actual transit, you don’t need to be involved. Your items are on the truck, and we’re handling the logistics. Some people drive to their new place and arrive before the truck. Others fly and meet us there. Either way works.
If you’re hiring us for full-service packing, you might want to be present for that too, especially if you have specific instructions about how certain items should be handled. But once everything’s packed and loaded, your part is mostly done until delivery. We’ll keep you updated during the move so you’re not left wondering where your belongings are.
We’re fully insured, so if something gets damaged, there’s a claims process. You’ll document the damage with photos and file a claim with our insurance provider. The coverage depends on the type of insurance you selected when you booked—basic coverage is included, but you can opt for full-value protection if you want more comprehensive coverage.
Basic coverage typically pays out based on weight, not actual value. So if a 50-pound item gets damaged, you might only recover a few dollars per pound. Full-value protection covers the actual replacement or repair cost, which makes more sense if you’re moving high-value items from a Southampton estate.
We do everything possible to prevent damage in the first place. That means proper packing materials, secure loading, and careful handling of fragile or specialty items. But we’re also realistic—accidents can happen over long distances. The difference is how a company responds when they do. We don’t disappear or make excuses. We handle it.
