When To Move?

It is important to remember there are some times of the year that are busier moving times. It will help if you plan and check if there is availability of man-power and transport on the day of moving. The summer months are an ideal time to move for most families. The children have their vacations at that time as well.

The weather in summer is pleasant, which makes it perfect for moving. Note that the first and last dates of every month are very busy days for the moving industry, regardless of the season. During the end of December when the holiday season ends, things tend to be rather frenzied.

In these extremely busy periods for moving, the demand for moving services will be undoubtedly higher, and therefore the prices will also be higher. Moreover, during these busy months, moving companies generally fail to ensure the quality of service that they should be providing, often making mistakes with delivery or damaging your property. All these factors make the difficult task of moving even more strenuous for you.

To avoid all this, we suggest that you book your moving services well in advance of your actual moving date to avoid last moment hiccups. On the day of moving you will be hard pressed for time, so plan ahead and complete the important tasks the day before. Anything that you and your family has not used for more than one year should be kept aside to be sold, given away, recycled, or simply be discarded.
