Moving can be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. From packing up your belongings to choosing a reliable moving company, there are many things to consider. At Cross Town Movers of Eugene, Oregon, we know how stressful moving can be, and we want to make the process as easy and seamless as possible.
Since May is National Moving Month, it’s the perfect time to answer some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from customers preparing for a move. Whether you’re moving locally in Eugene or relocating across the state, we’ve got you covered!
? How Much Does It Cost to Move?
This is by far the most common question we hear. The cost of a move depends on several factors, including:
- The size of your move – How many rooms and items need to be moved?
- The distance of the move – Are you moving across town or to another state?
- The number of movers required – A larger move may need more movers and equipment.
- Time of year – Summer is the busiest season, and prices may reflect higher demand.
- Specialty items – Heavy, bulky, or delicate items like pianos or antiques may require additional services.

? How Do I Know I Can Trust a Moving Company?
Moving scams are, unfortunately, a real problem in the industry. If you’re hiring professional movers, you should do your research to ensure you’re working with a legitimate, experienced company.
Tips for Avoiding Moving Scams
✅ Check Online Reviews – Read Google and Yelp reviews to see what past customers say.
✅ Verify Licensing & Insurance – Make sure the company is properly licensed and insured.
✅ Avoid Lowball Quotes – If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
✅ Ask About Their Movers – Do they use full-time employees or day laborers?
✅ Get Everything in Writing – A legitimate company will provide a detailed estimate and contract.
✔ Pro Tip: Cross Town Movers is fully licensed and insured, and our movers are background-checked and professionally trained. You can trust us to handle your belongings with care!
? Can Cross Town Movers Help with Long-Distance Moves?
Yes! While we specialize in local moves in Eugene, Springfield, and surrounding areas, we also provide long-distance moving services. Whether you’re moving across Oregon or to another state, we offer:
- Dedicated moving teams – Your belongings will be transported by the same movers from start to finish.
- Safe and secure transport – We use top-of-the-line trucks and equipment to keep your items protected.

? What Items Can’t Be Moved?
While we can move almost everything in your home, there are a few exceptions for safety and legal reasons.
? Items We Cannot Transport
