Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to move?
There are several time periods that are busier for moving than others. May-September are especially busy months, and the beginning and end of months (when leases begin/end) are typically busier as well. If you book your moving date well in advance, you are more likely to get the delivery date you desire.
When should I get an estimate?
Get an estimate as soon as you know you’re going to need a mover. Typically 4-6 weeks is ample time to decide and book a moving date, but we’ve worked with longer and much shorter timelines as well.
How do I prepare for the move?
Planning your move well in advance and staying organized is the key to a smooth and efficient move. Sometimes it will feel as though your lists have lists, but if you keep everything organized on a clipboard or in a notebook, you’ll be able to find what you need when you need it. See our “Moving Timeline Checklist” for approximately when you should be doing what.
How do I move with kids and/or pets?

What items can’t be moved with the mover?
