One question we at Advanced Moving get asked often is: how long before my move date should I hire a moving company during the summertime? Our advice is, start calling movers as soon as possible this is the busiest time of the year for moving company’s.
Moving Within the Same City:
For a summertime move, book as soon as you can. One month before your move date is good ideal to keep in mind. Worse case, at least three weeks, but know that if you only have two weeks or less before your move date, you will have a limited choice of Moving Company’s to choose from. A good moving company is usually booked at least one month out in the summertime
Moving from City to City Within the Same State:
Moves that are within the same state you should find a moving company 6 to 8 weeks before your move date. Sometimes there are fewer movers who will move to another city within the same state. Plus, if you are moving across the state you might need two days for your move. If you procrastinate it might be hard to find a quality moving company.
Moving from one State to Another State
Moving to another State is a lot more complex than interstate moves, so you should give at least 10 weeks in advance of your move date. Your move can take several days. A good moving company might not have enough days open for your move.
