Planning when Planning to Move

When you deside to move, be it to another state or just down the block, timing is important.  Beyond important because if you wait to the last minet you might find yourself out of time with no movers.

Here is some general advice:

-Most, if not all, companies have to phyisicaly see your home before they can commit to your move. This is so that they can make sure to give you the most acurite estimate possible. This also gives them the chance to see you street and driveway so they will know what size truck you will need for your items.

-Between April 20^th and September 30^th is the moving business bussy seasion. Bussy to the point of having to schedual appointment to see your items to give you an estimate up to (and possably beyond) a week from the day you call to set it.

-A local move is generally set up as same day load and delivery. If you have a large house, packed rooms or want your movers to do your packing you might be looking at a two day move. Your sales agent will be able to determine this when they see your items but there is the off chance that you will need that extra day.

-A long distance move will always have a delivery spread date that could be anywere between 2-14 days. Usaly the more you have the smaller a spread you will have.

-A last minuet move will cost you. Be it time, money or health. It might be that the companies just can not fit in your move if you need it the next day. The stress this can cause can be unimaginable.
