Southampton to Los Angeles Cross-Country Moves

A move from the East End to Los Angeles is a coast-to-coast relocation, and it is usually a deliberate life change — a household leaving the Hamptons for good for work in entertainment, tech, or finance, or splitting time bicoastally with a second home in Brentwood, Malibu, or the Palisades. At roughly 2,900 miles it is the longest lane we run, about five days on the road, and it is exactly the move where a single dedicated truck and one accountable crew protect the things that matter. We crate the art and antiques in Southampton, load once, and unload into your Los Angeles-area home ourselves — no shared trailer, no warehouse layovers, no shipment broken up across carriers.

The Cross-Country Drive

The route runs west across the interstate system on I-80 and the southern transcontinental corridors into Southern California — about five days of driving with our own crew and a firm delivery day on the far end. Coast-to-coast is the lane where off-island and bargain movers do the most damage: they consolidate your household onto a shared trailer, transfer it at terminals, and quote a delivery window two weeks wide. We do not. Your shipment is the only one on the truck, the crew that loads it is the crew that delivers it, and the wine, the paintings, and the heirloom furniture stay crated the entire way.

What We Handle End to End

  • One flat written quote covering the East End load, the 2,900-mile drive, and the carry into your LA-area home.
  • Custom crating for oil paintings, marble, chandeliers, antiques, and wine built to survive a five-day cross-country run.
  • A dedicated truck and a firm delivery day — no shared load, no terminal transfers, no two-week window.
  • The same accountable Max Moving crew loading in Southampton and unloading in Los Angeles.
  • Climate-controlled storage out here for anything you keep on the East End for a bicoastal split.

For a move this far, the survey is detailed and the plan is exact, because there is no margin to improvise 2,900 miles from home. We sort what ships from what stays, crate the irreplaceable pieces, price it flat, and keep the entire move under one roof — ours, from the Hamptons to the coast.

Southampton, NY → Los Angeles, CA FAQs

What people usually ask before booking this route

How long does a Southampton-to-LA move take?
The lane is about 2,900 miles, roughly five days of driving coast to coast. Your belongings ride a dedicated truck loaded only with your shipment, so we commit to a firm delivery day instead of the two-week window a shared-load carrier would give you.
Is my shipment shared with other households on the truck?
No. On every long-distance lane, including this one, your move is the only shipment on the truck. The crew that loads it in Southampton is the crew that unloads it in Los Angeles, with no terminal transfers and no consolidating it with anyone else's belongings.
How is fine art protected on a five-day cross-country run?
We custom-crate oil paintings, marble, chandeliers, antiques, and wine in Southampton before loading, and those crates stay sealed on the same truck until our crew unpacks them in Los Angeles. Nothing is reloaded, transferred, or warehoused along the way.
Can I keep part of the household on the East End?
Yes. For bicoastal households we ship part of the home to Los Angeles and keep the rest in our climate-controlled storage out here, insured and accessible, all sorted on the survey and covered under one flat written quote.

Such an easy process start to finish. The crew worked so efficiently and quickly. On top of that they were all polite and respectful. The crew worked hard and finished a little earlier than expected so they issued us a refund for the unused time. I will not hesitate to use them again in the future!

Movers were late but communication was good. The movers were awesome. They moved all my stuff and even took out a ton of trash. A couple of bags were accidentally left in the truck and the owner promptly brought them back to me.
