LONG DISTANCE MOVING

Long Distance Movers on Long Island

Poseidon Moving is a licensed and insured New York interstate carrier serving Nassau County, Suffolk County, and every community across Long Island. As a Long Island long distance moving company, we coordinate cross-country residential and commercial moves, with one carrier responsible for your shipment from beginning to end.

Interstate moves require more planning than local relocations. Long Island presents its own logistical challenges, from seasonal traffic to gated communities, waterfront properties, apartment buildings, and scheduled building move windows. We account for those details before moving day, and can add full packing services or secure storage whenever your move calls for them, so your relocation stays on schedule from the start.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

What’s Included in Your Long Island Move

Customer service, security, and the safe transport of our clients’ belongings are our number one priority. Every service in your move is built around those three things, from the first phone call to the last box carried inside.

We offer two long distance moving options. Dedicated Truck reserves the entire truck exclusively for your shipment — direct transportation and tighter pickup and delivery windows, the right choice when your dates are fixed around a closing, a job start, or military orders. Truck Share pairs your belongings with compatible shipments heading in the same direction, trading a wider delivery window for a lower transportation cost. Your coordinator helps you choose the option that fits your dates and your budget.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

We ensure all your furniture is wrapped securely for maximum protection during the move. Items included:

Couches
Chairs
Mattresses
Bed frames
Dressers
Tables
Shelving units
Cabinets

We will disassemble your large furniture for safe transport and reassemble it upon arrival. Items include:

Bed frames
Tables
Armoires
China cabinets
Shelving units
Desks

To ensure maximum protection for your belongings, we provide five specialty moving boxes at no extra charge for fragile, valuable, or uniquely shaped items. These boxes must be pre-ordered before your move date to guarantee availability.

TV Box
Picture/Mirror Box
Wardrobe Box
Lamp Box
Mattress Box

Loading: Our team carefully loads your items, ensuring they are safely secured and properly strapped inside the truck to prevent any movement during transport.

Unloading: Upon delivery, we will unwrap your items, place them exactly where you want, and ensure everything is set up to your satisfaction.

All transportation costs are covered in your flat rate. This includes:

Fuel
Tolls
Travel Expenses

We include basic liability coverage at $0.60 per pound per item to protect your belongings during the move. This ensures standard reimbursement for any damages incurred, following industry regulations.

GOOD TO KNOW

Moving From Long Island: Things You Should Know

Planning ahead makes interstate moves from Long Island considerably easier.

Traffic & Scheduling
  • Summer traffic can significantly affect travel across eastern Long Island.
  • Friday afternoons and holiday weekends are among the busiest travel periods.
  • Early morning pickups often provide the most efficient loading conditions.
Homes & Building Access
  • Many condominium communities require Certificates of Insurance (COIs).
  • Apartment buildings often require freight elevator reservations.
  • Gated communities may require visitor registration before moving day.
Waterfront Properties
  • Homes along the South Shore, North Shore, and the Hamptons often require additional planning because of narrow streets, private communities, and seasonal traffic.
Moving Checklist
  • Reserve elevators if required and confirm parking for the moving truck.
  • Notify your HOA or building management.
  • Transfer utilities before moving day.
  • Book several weeks ahead during peak moving season.

WHY POSEIDON

Why Long Island Residents Choose Poseidon Moving

Handing your household to a moving company is an act of trust, and we work to be worth it on every job that leaves the Island. The shipment stays our responsibility from beginning to end — and the plan is built around your dates, your property access, and your destination rather than a standard route sheet.

You will always know where things stand: one coordinator manages your relocation from the first estimate to the final delivery, with regular updates along the way, and the price you approve in writing is the price you pay. The checklist beside this section is the short version — the long version is how the move actually feels when each of those promises holds.

Binding Flat-Rate Pricing

One upfront price based on your item list and services — no surprise charges on moving day.

Dedicated Move Coordinator

One point of contact from estimate through final delivery.

Shipment Tracking

Regular updates so you always know where your belongings are.

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.
