Moving OptionsShipping household goods to Alaska, from Alaska, or within Alaska is unlike shipping goods anywhere else in the continental U.S.. Alaska Terminals has a number of moving options available in order to address the logistical challenges that Alaska may present. Alaska Thru-Van ServiceWhen moving household goods to Alaska or from Alaska, minimum handling is the key to the safety of your belongings. Our Atlas Van Lines’ Alaska Thru-Van Service gives you this security. With this option, your shipment is wrapped with cloth pads and loaded into a 40/45/48/53 foot container. These items are not handled again until they are received at your destination, thereby ensuring the maximum level of protection for your goods while also maintaining affordability and prompt transit. With this service, you can be confident that your shipment is loaded at its origin and stays aboard the same trailer until unloaded at its destination and safely back in your care. A 30-van portion of our agency's fleet has been dedicated to our Alaska Thru-Van Service. This capability is one of many reasons why Alaska Terminals, Inc. experiences a lower percentage of claims for damages in comparison to other household goods movers in Alaska. We are proud to be affiliated with Atlas Van Lines and of our ability to offer this premium service. If you don’t anticipate needing storage, or if you have a large shipment, the Alaska Thru-Van Service may be an excellent option for you. Ask about shipping to Alaska and from Alaska using our Alaska Thru-Van service on your shipment for minimum handling and extra care. Containerized Shipping Another recommended option would be containerized shipping. If your move could require storage in transit, or if you anticipate having a small to medium size load, we highly recommend that your household goods be containerized. With a containerized shipment we load your household goods into wooden containers at your residence. They are then sealed, caulked, and steel banded before prior to shipping. These containers are then placed into storage in Alaska Terminals’ climate controlled warehouse until you request shipping to your destination. These containers are then brought to your residence, unsealed, and your goods are delivered into your new home. Go here for information about our climate controlled household goods storage. Packing Options Our years of experience have taught us that there is a direct correlation between the quality of the packing at origin, and the happiness of the customer upon delivery. For all of our moving options, we offer FULL packing service, FRAGILE packing service, or NO packing service moves to Alaska, from Alaska, and within Alaska. Alaska Terminals, Inc is based in Anchorage, Alaska with offices in Fairbanks, Alaska as well as Seattle, Washington. |
