Sebastian Moving vs United Van Lines

We hold no basis to prefer one over the other. We publish no numeric score for moving companies, and the records we hold for both are the same fields: registration, operating authority, founding year, coverage, and an estimated price range. Sebastian Moving is described as best for seattle hilly-street local moves; United Van Lines is described as best for long-distance moves with full packing. Check each company's USDOT record on FMCSA SAFER for authority status and complaint history, then compare binding-not-to-exceed estimates for your own move.

For a typical 2-bedroom interstate move, Sebastian Moving estimates land around $600–$2,500 and United Van Lines estimates land around $3,100–$7,400. Actual quotes depend on weight, distance, service level, date, and availability.

Look up each company on FMCSA SAFER before signing an estimate. United Van Lines operates under USDOT 077949.

Look up each company by its USDOT number on FMCSA SAFER, which publishes complaint and crash history for the registered entity, and check the state regulator where the move starts. Ratings published by third parties are not shown here unless the specific profile they came from has been recorded.

For interstate moves, ask for a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey. Sight-unseen non-binding interstate quotes are not reliable and tend to grow on delivery day.
