Split Delivery Move: Send Part Now, Save the Rest for Later

A split delivery move is the perfect solution for people who need part of their belongings right away and the rest later. It works well for those in temporary housing, managing two closings or finishing renovations before moving everything in. This flexible approach lets you stay comfortable and organized while your schedule or home catches up.

When you choose a split delivery, movers bring the first portion of your household goods to one location, and the remaining items stay in secure storage until you’re ready for them. Whether your deliveries are days or weeks apart, the goal is to keep your transition smooth and stress-free from start to finish.

How to Stay Organized During a Split Delivery Move

A split delivery move takes extra planning, and that starts with how you pack and label your items. Most homeowners handle the packing themselves, so it’s important to label each box and piece of furniture by zone or destination. Mark boxes you need right away with a color or number system and separate them from the rest before the movers arrive.

This helps the moving crew load the truck efficiently and makes sure the right items go to the correct location. The second part of your belongings can be safely stored in a facility through storage in transit, also known as SIT. This service keeps your items secure until your home or project is ready for them.

Why Onsite Estimates Matter

Accurate information is the key to a successful split delivery move. Scheduling an onsite estimate allows the moving team to see your home, inventory and layout in person. This helps determine how much space your items will take up, how many trucks or units will be needed and how to plan both delivery stages.

When movers can assess the details firsthand, it eliminates guesswork and helps prevent delays. They can prepare the right crew, equipment and timing to keep your move on schedule.

Planning Ahead for a Smooth Experience

The best split delivery moves come together when there’s enough time to plan. Providing your movers with dates, access details for each location and any time restrictions early in the process ensures a more organized transition. Clients who share clear information upfront always see smoother results.

Even if you’re handling most of the packing yourself, a professional mover can provide guidance, supplies and optional packing services if needed. Early coordination makes every part of the process easier, from pickup to final delivery.

Two Deliveries, One Positive Move

A split delivery move gives you flexibility without sacrificing organization. By planning early, labeling carefully and working closely with your moving team, you can move at your own pace while keeping everything safe and accounted for.
