Will I save on costs if I pack everything before the crew arrives?

The answer depends on the type of move you are looking to have done. For a local move (a move that takes place within the state of Alaska) you can save some money by packing your own goods before the crew arrives, as the move will take less time for our crews to complete. However, for inter-state and mainland moves, we typically include all packing services in the quote. Additionally, we recommend that you let our trained staff pack and prepare all household items for shipments that will be transported over water. This will ensure that your items will be well protected during your move.

Is there a minimum weight?

For all of our household shipments, there is a 1,000-pound minimum charge. In a typical household, 1,000 pounds of goods would fit in a space that is 7 feet by 4 feet by 7 feet.

Can Royal ship my goods internationally?

Royal Alaskan Movers can assist you with your international move. We can provide you with pick up and packing services here in Alaska and then arrange for an international forwarder to send your shipment on to your final destination. We have assisted customers with moves all over the world.

How will my goods be stored? Is Royal’s storage climate controlled?

When your items are stored with Royal Alaskan Moves they will be stored in one of our alarm equipped warehouses. Goods are usually stored in the wooden liftvan crates as discussed earlier. Royal's storage facilities are not climate controlled, but our warehouses are well maintained and your items generally remain cool, and they are always kept dry.

Do you offer storage at origin / destination? How much is it per month?

We can arrange for storage of your shipment at origin or destination. It is best to use the Liftvan method for transportation to make sure that we avoid extra handling and extra charges when your shipment is put into storage. The cost for storage is usually determined by its size and weight. If you let our sales team know that you are anticipating storage for a period of time, we can provide you with the cost for such services.

Why do you choose to ship via ocean carriers only?

The geographical local of Alaska limits the methods of transportation to and from the mainland to ocean or air. Ocean transportation is more economical and is the most common method of transportation for household goods shipments. However, if you require assistance with transporting items via air, we can assist you with that as well. Please keep in mind that air shipments tend to be costly.
