How Long It Takes To Transport
This depends on many
factors, such as the time of year, weather conditions, size of your
shipment, time required to load and unload, and the direction and
distance your shipment is traveling. Usually n
o more than 14 days for
small moves traveling a great distance and no less than a couple of days
for large moves traveling a short distance.
When you meet with your Mergenthaler representative we will commit to a specific delivery period based on the specific circumstances of your move.
Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a van, it is often necessary for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same van. Each shipment is carefully sectioned off from the others.
With the help of United’s computer-assisted dispatching system, pickup and delivery dates are scheduled according to the origins and destinations of individual shipments on the van, as well as shipment weight.
