The delivery time differs depending on the actual distance, but it won’t be either instant or long. The time may vary from a few days to several weeks for a long-distance move. It shouldn't take more than a few days to relocate to a near-by state. However, it all depends on your unique case and the movers you've entrusted your belongings with. Check the delivery window on your bill of lading. To ensure that your stuff arrives on time, you should sign a contract with your mover that specifies the delivery timeframe.
