Moving FAQs
How far in advance should I plan my long-distance move?
It’s recommended to start planning your move about two to three months in advance, especially if you’re moving during peak season (summer). This time frame allows for securing estimates, organizing logistics, and finalizing services like packing and transportation.
How can I reduce the cost of my long-distance move?
To cut down on your long-distance moving cost, consider decluttering to reduce the volume of items, which lowers transportation costs. Additionally, moving during off-peak times (mid-week or during the fall/winter) can help minimize expenses.
