Moving from Delaware to Missouri

Professional movers work well for this 900-mile journey to the heartland. The route through Pennsylvania and Illinois is straightforward, and St. Louis and Kansas City are solid logistics hubs with good options.

You're trading Delaware's coastal moderation for Missouri's continental climate with more extreme temperature swings. Think hot, humid summers and cold winters, but less maritime influence than Delaware's coastal location.

If you want significantly lower living costs and authentic Midwest culture, Missouri offers great value! You'll trade Delaware's intimate small-state feel for more space and barbecue culture, but gain incredible housing affordability.

Budget about 6-7 weeks total, with professional movers taking 4-5 business days for transport. It's a well-traveled route with decent infrastructure, making timing generally reliable.

Missouri's weather is more extreme than Delaware's coastal moderation – hotter summers, colder winters, and tornado potential. Your wood furniture and musical instruments should handle the transition fine, but prepare for more variable weather.
