When you’re planning a long-distance move from Dublin, CA, time is often your biggest concern. That’s why express delivery moving services have become so popular among Bay Area homeowners and businesses. But while fast delivery can make your relocation much easier, a few common mistakes can turn an otherwise smooth experience into a stressful one.
At All Star Movers & Storage, we’ve handled thousands of express and long-distance moves across California and beyond — from Dublin and Pleasanton to Sacramento and San Jose — and we know exactly what pitfalls to avoid.
Not Verifying the Moving Company’s Credentials
In the rush to move quickly, many people forget to verify that their moving company is licensed, insured, and experienced with express long-distance moves. Unfortunately, that can lead to hidden fees, delays, or even lost items.
✅ What to do instead:
Choose a mover that’s fully licensed and insured for interstate transport, with verified reviews and a solid local reputation. All Star Movers & Storage is a BBB-accredited moving company serving Dublin and surrounding communities with 20+ years of experience in both local and long-distance relocations.
Underestimating Packing Time
Express delivery doesn’t mean you can pack at the last minute. Rushed packing often leads to broken or misplaced items.
✅ How to avoid it:
Take advantage of professional packing services. Our trained crews use high-quality materials and efficient techniques to protect everything from kitchenware to delicate electronics and artwork. This saves time and ensures your belongings arrive safely — even on tight schedules.
Ignoring Storage Needs
Sometimes, your new home or office isn’t move-in ready when your truck arrives. Without a storage plan, that can create major complications.
✅ The smart move:
Ask your movers about short-term or long-term storage options. At All Star Movers & Storage, we offer secure, climate-controlled storage facilities — perfect for holding items during a transition, renovation, or temporary relocation.
Not Asking About Delivery Timelines
Every express move is different. Factors like distance, route, and weather can affect timing — and not all companies define “express” the same way.
✅ Best practice:
Get a written delivery estimate and clear communication from your movers before the truck leaves. At All Star Movers & Storage, our team provides realistic delivery windows and keeps you updated every step of the way.
Overlooking Insurance Coverage
Even the most careful movers can encounter unexpected issues during a long-distance trip. Without proper coverage, you could be left unprotected.
✅ What you should do:
Review the mover’s valuation and insurance options before signing your contract. Our company offers comprehensive coverage options to give customers peace of mind on every express delivery.
