Folkestad Moving Services LLC

Josh and Angel Folkestad started Folkestad Moving Services LLC in Prescott, Arizona. Their goal was to provide the growing community, and future customers with the highest quality moving services at an affordable rate. In 2007 Folkestad Moving Services became an Agent of National Van Lines for Interstate Moves.

National Van Lines is a family-owned business that has carefully transferred property and household goods like yours for over 75 years.

Also being a family owned and operated business; Josh and Angel feel that offering quality services to the customer is extremely important in order to assure continued growth in this industry. They are proud to say that 70% of their business is by referral or repeat customers.

They are a full service moving company, specializing in Local, Intrastate, Interstate and International moves, as well as loading/unloading of rental trucks, packing/unpacking all for both residential and commercial moves.

Folkestad Moving Services LLC is a long distance moving specialist.

Long distance moves are different then local moves and require a special set of skills, licenses and experience.

Our years of experience as an authorized interstate agent for National Van Lines have taught us how to achieve hassle free, on-time moves time after time.

How Are Long Distance Moves Priced?

The two main factors that determine the cost of your move are the distance you are moving and the weight of your shipment.

Like most people, you probably don’t know the total weight of your belongings so in order to determine an approximate weight for your move, just use our FREE Online Estimate system.

You should note that, like all other moving companies, we will be unable to determine the exact weight of your shipment until the actual day of the move.
We welcome you to join us at a government regulated weigh station while we weigh the truck with and without your shipment fully loaded. The difference between those two weights is the weight of your shipment.
Additional factors that will effect the price of your move include:

Packing services you order from us.
Your choice of additional value protection for your possessions.
Storage of your goods while you settle in your new home.

With years of experience in managing international moves Folkestad Moving Services LLC has earned a reputation for exceptional door-to-door service for corporate relocations, families, military and government personnel .

The value we offer you centers on single source accountability for your international move, providing seamless service you can trust.

International moves are not like other moves:

Your shipment will be physically moved many times.
Your goods will be loaded into your shipping container/s.
Your containers will be loaded onto a truck at your home.
The container will be offloaded from the truck at the origin port and then loaded onto a ship.
At the destination the container will be offloaded from the ship and then loaded onto a truck or, depending on your destination, may be loaded onto a train before being put on the truck that will bring it to your new home.
Finally, your goods will be unloaded from the truck and placed in your new home.
Your goods must be specially packed:
Your goods must receive extra protection against all the times the containers will be moved, loaded and unloaded from vehicles.
An international move involves many steps and tasks.
Choosing between multiple packing, container and shipping methods.
Taking into consideration duties, restricted items and taxes for household goods and vehicles and filling out, sending and or filing the necessary documentation.
How An International Move Works
Every international move begins with a pre-move, in-home survey:

Creating a Relocation Policy

Developing and maintaining a corporate relocation policy is critical for assuring consistent successful relocations for the company and the transferee.
A written policy should:

Clearly define the benefits package and outline employee responsibilities to allow management to plan ahead and the employee to know what to expect.
Streamline the partnership between company and mover by identifying consistent procedures, services, and responsibilities.
Smaller organizations most commonly use a Centralized Policy, which is easier to administer.

A Centralized Policy applies to all branches and divisions in the company and helps to maintain consistency in coordination, channels of communication, and follow-through as well as eliminate procedural differences that can cause misunderstandings between the company and the employees.
We will be happy to work with you to develop a Relocation Policy that will save you time, expense, hassles and disappointments.
