QUESTIONS

Des Moines Long Distance Moving Questions

Pricing is based on your household size, destination, and any added services like packing or storage. Des Moines’s central location keeps mileage reasonable to Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and other Midwest hubs. We provide a flat-rate estimate tied to your actual inventory. The price you approve before pickup is the price you pay at delivery.
Transit times depend on destination. Moves to neighboring states like Illinois, Minnesota, or Nebraska typically arrive in two to three business days. East Coast destinations take five to eight business days. West Coast moves can take seven to fourteen. Your coordinator provides a specific delivery window based on your route.
If you live in a mid-rise or high-rise in the East Village, downtown, or Western Gateway, your building will likely require an elevator reservation and possibly a loading dock time slot. We coordinate these details during the planning phase so the crew arrives with confirmed access and stays on schedule.
Yes. Gaps between closings are common, especially during competitive selling seasons. Storage can be built directly into your move plan so your household is picked up on schedule, held securely, and delivered when your new home is ready — no double handling required.

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

  • Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
  • Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
  • Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
  • Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

  • Mounted TVs
  • Artwork and mirrors
  • Shelving
  • Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

  • Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
  • Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

  • Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
  • Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
  • Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
