Full-service moving costs from Lubbock, TX to Chandler, AZ

If you want to skip packing boxes, too, that can be added for $281 - $1,876, depending on your home size. What you pay in the end is mainly a function of how much your shipment weighs and how far it's traveling. As a point of reference, local movers in Lubbock typically charge a base rate around $318 plus $148 per hour, per mover.

Here's a breakdown of full-service moving costs by home size from Lubbock to Chandler:

What are the best full-service movers from Lubbock to Chandler?

Look for Arizona Moving Association membership as a baseline when comparing movers in Arizona beyond this list.

  1. Safeway Moving (4.9/5 stars): Safeway Moving is our pick for best overall value. Flat-rate pricing, 24/7 support, and 30 days of free storage make Safeway the clearest value on this list.
  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover on this list. AVL has been moving customers since 1995 and uses full-time in-house crews trained on high-value items like art and antiques.
  3. Allied Van Lines (4.2/5 stars): Allied Van Lines is best for contents coverage. One of the largest van line networks in North America, Allied offers fragile-only packing, 24/7 monitoring, and an optional full-value protection plan against damage, loss, and breakage.

Good to know: For moves over 500 miles, national van lines are the smarter financial choice over local movers in Lubbock, TX. Local companies can run 30% - 40% more at that range since they don't consolidate shipments the way interstate carriers do. If a direct, dedicated route with an average 2-day delivery appeals to you, a local mover could be worth it, but that convenience comes at a cost.

Moving container costs from Lubbock, TX to Chandler, AZ

Moving containers from Lubbock, Texas, to Chandler, Arizona, cost between $1,063 and $3,315. You load everything on your own schedule (U-Haul gives you 3 days and PODS gives you 30). When you're ready, the company takes care of getting the container from point A to point B. Need more time than that? Extra storage in Lubbock typically runs around $70/month.

Take a look at moving container pricing by home size from Lubbock to Chandler:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,063 - $1,877
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,273 - $2,731
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,706 - $3,315

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Storage: Small containers (7 - 8 feet) run about $70 per month after the initial period, while larger units (12 - 16 feet) cost around $141 per month.
  • Access: Make sure your container company has a storage facility reasonably close to your new home in Chandler, AZ, if you need to retrieve anything while items are still in storage.
  • Moving labor: Since you're responsible for loading the container yourself, many customers bring in hourly help. Based on moveBuddha data, hiring 2 movers for approximately 5 hours costs about $657 in Lubbock, TX. Compare the best labor-only movers nationwide
  • Added contents protection: Full-value protection goes beyond the standard minimum and covers repair, replacement, or reimbursement at declared value. Pricing is typically 1% - 2% of your total shipment value, about $500 - $1,000 on a $50,000 move.

Every price below reflects an actual quote from a moveBuddha reader planning a Texas to Arizona move in the past 90 days. Our pricing data is drawn from 1,500+ monthly data points across our vetted mover network and refreshed every month.

Pro tip: Before ordering moving containers, take a careful inventory of everything you're moving. A typical 1-bedroom home weighs around 3,000 pounds and fits in a single container starting at $1,063. Underestimating how much you have and needing an extra container means paying for another one, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise. For reference, a 2 - 3 bedroom home typically runs $1,273 - $2,731.

But once you factor in fuel ($218 - $249), overnight lodging ($141/night), meals, and equipment rentals, most people end up spending roughly $600 - $1,200 more on meals, equipment, and other extras beyond fuel and lodging.

Freight trailer costs from Lubbock, TX to Chandler, AZ

If you're moving a larger household from Lubbock, Texas, and want to stay in control of the loading process, freight trailers offer a practical middle ground between hiring movers and renting a truck yourself. A 28-foot trailer is delivered to your door, you load what you need, and the carrier handles the drive to Chandler, Arizona.

Freight trailers are priced by the linear feet your belongings take up, so you only pay for the space you use. A 2 - 3 bedroom move on this route typically falls between $1,040 and $2,185.

Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Lubbock to Chandler:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $902 - $1,605
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,040 - $2,185
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,464 - $2,734

Pro tip: A 4-foot ramp sounds simple, but heavy or awkward furniture can make the climb tricky. With 8 feet of height to work with, smart vertical stacking is key. Since freight companies charge by the linear foot, every extra foot you use adds to the bill.

What other costs come with freight trailers?

  • Seasonal demand: Pricing tends to rise during peak moving season, particularly between mid-May and mid-September.
  • Moving labor: Most customers hire loading help since freight is self-loaded. Two movers in Lubbock, Texas, for roughly 5 hours typically costs $657.
  • More space: Freight companies bill by linear footage. If your belongings take up more room than anticipated, the extra space adds between $70 and $141 per foot.

What are the best freight companies from Lubbock to Chandler?

  1. MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is the best for large moves pick. While it's a top moving container option for the DIY hybrid setup (you handle the loading, they handle the driving), the same approach makes it a strong freight choice for 3 to 5+ bedroom homes that need 53 feet of trailer capacity with pay-as-you-go pricing.
  2. U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack is the best value freight trailer here. In addition to their popular container service, U-Pack delivers a top-tier freight trailer option that uses the same pay-by-the-foot pricing model and skips deposits and upfront fees entirely.

Pro tip: Freight trailers move fast, making them one of the quickest ways to get your belongings from Lubbock to Chandler. If you have a hard move-in date and want your stuff there as soon as possible, freight is hard to beat. It's worth noting that freight works best when you're ready to receive your delivery, so if your move-in date is still up in the air or you'll need short-term storage, a moving container is likely the more practical choice.
