Why Alaska Moves Are Different — and How We Handle Them
Moving to or from Alaska is still a household move — it simply includes an ocean leg. Unlike standard interstate relocations, Alaska moves require careful planning around sailing schedules, port handling, and final-mile delivery. EZ MoveIt coordinates the full relocation process so your move stays organized from pickup to delivery.
What Sets EZ MoveIt Apart for Alaska Moves
Built for Alaska Routes
We coordinate moves across Alaska’s road system (Anchorage, Fairbanks) as well as ferry-served communities, including Juneau, Kodiak, and Sitka, based on access and sailing schedules.
$0 Upfront Deposit
Secure your move date with zero upfront cost. We believe in earning your trust first—payment is only collected when our crew physically arrives at your door to begin the work.
Single Point of Coordination
Your move is managed under one plan. From our Washington hub, we oversee the critical port transfer in Tacoma, coordinating pickup, sailing, and delivery so you never juggle multiple vendors.
Alaska Moving Services & Optional Add-Ons
Every Alaska move starts with a coordinated door-to-door household relocation. The options below can be added based on your shipment size, timeline, and destination.
Alaska-Ready Packing & Crating
Ocean routes require extra protection compared to a typical interstate move. We use moisture-resistant materials and custom crating to protect household items.
Heated Storage-in-Transit
Need flexibility between move-out and move-in dates? We can arrange storage-in-transit in Tacoma or select Alaska locations to help protect your household goods.
Heavy & Specialty Item Moving
Have oversized or heavy items like gun safes, pianos, or freezers? We handle specialty items with the proper equipment and protection as part of your Alaska move.
Lift Van Services (Small Moves)
Moving a studio, apartment, or partial household? Lift van options let you pay only for the space you use while still getting a door-to-door moving process to or from Alaska.
