Packing and Crating
Alaska’s cold weather might cause deterioration of your items.
Protect your belongings as you move to The Last Frontier. Three Mavers's specialized packing boxes and crating services can take care of your stuff. We know how much you value your priced collection and other belongings, which is why we handle your items with great care.

Insurance
You want to be sure that you are secure, even on your moving day. Damage to your items can be a huge bummer in your move to Alaska. It is way worse when your mover does not care.
Although Alaska furniture moving companies carry basic insurance as demanded by Federal law, you still want a company that has a comprehensive coverage service.
Three Movers know that your items are special for you. Our specialist team can help you to ensure that your moving insurance includes all your items. They can also help you estimate insurance for your belongings. You do not have to worry too much.
Full-service moves

Storage
Storing your items in a unit is needed when you do not want to overcrowd your new space. Three Movers knows this, so we want to help you with your storage needs. Not all storage facilities are secured. We will find ways for your items to be accessible from your new home and away from danger. You can avail yourself of this with other service companies, but our company offers this with other services that you need. Dial us to know where you can store your items.

Frequently Asked Questions
The answer depends on how comprehensive the customer’s inquiry is during the initial call. Professional movers with years of expertise can give an estimate with 90 percent accuracy.
But even so, to get the final or written estimate, an on-site inspection has to be conducted.
It’s best to move during the summer or June to August. These are the warmest periods in the region. It allows you to settle down without having to deal with the disadvantages brought by the winter season.
It’s best to plan months before your actual move date. Meanwhile, the right time to call a moving company depends on your move; 2-4 weeks for local and 4-6 weeks for a long-distance move.
When a relocation exceeds 100 miles, it is considered long-distance. Local moves are those that go fewer distances, such as 100 or 50 miles.
A moving company won’t let you move plants, animals, chemicals, and flammable materials.
You can check the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) interstate relocations and other regulators for in-state moves to know what you can’t pack when moving to Alaska.
Moving firms that handle interstate moves from or to Alaska must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). They should have a valid DOT number, whether they are a moving business or a broker.
You can verify a mover’s license by checking their USDOT Number on FMCSA’s website.
The USDOT Number of an interstate moving firm is usually accessible on their website (most commonly seen at the bottom of the home page). You may ask them personally if you can’t find it on their website. Once you’ve got the number, put it into the FMCSA’s mover search tool under “U.S. DOT #” and click “Search.”
Many moving companies are now offering same-day moves. You only have to call the company to pick up your things and move them to your new home or office. However, a last-minute move isn’t always possible because it depends on the moving company. If they are fully booked and no other company is free, your only option is to wait for the next availability.
It depends on your location. However, Craigslist movers and moving boxes can be found on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. But if you need to use the box right away, you could buy them from bookstores, recycling drop-off points, or grocery stores.
When the moving crew arrives at your house to load your belongings, make sure to present the estimate, bill, insurance certificate, and inventory list. Your moving manager will remind you of the things you need on your moving date.
Aside from that, you need to bring your documents, such as a driver’s license, passport, or vehicle registration records just in case authorities ask for them.
It depends on your agreement with the moving company. But most of the time, changes can be made, especially if they won’t heavily affect the moving process.
You should be present when the movers are starting the moving process. Documentation purposes aside, being present allows you to supervise the move to ensure your belongings are handled with care.
If the moving company will arrive first at your new place, make sure that you have someone to look over the unpacking of your belongings.
Many moving companies are offering storage services to their clients. If your new place is not yet ready, we also offer storage services. We can hold your belongings in our storage area.
You must first document your concern. Give details about the moving mishaps that lead to your complaint.
Next, contact the moving company. If they don’t offer a solution, you can then proceed with filing the complaint to FMCSA or the Department of Law.
Moving timelines in Alaska can vary depending on the distance, weather conditions, and accessibility of the location. Local moves within cities like Anchorage or Fairbanks usually take a day or two, while long-distance moves from the continental U.S. may take several weeks due to transportation logistics and seasonal considerations. Planning ahead and booking early helps ensure a smoother and more predictable moving schedule.
