Panning a Move: Why You Should Book Movers in Advance

Moving can be a stressful experience, but if you make a good plan and stick to it, you should do just fine. One part of your plan should be to book your moving company well in advance. Here are a few reasons why.

Good Movers Get Booked Up

Once you’ve decided on the best moving company for your move, consider that other people may have made the same decision and called first. Good moving companies get booked up, especially in the spring and summer months when most people move. To avoid having to go with your second or third or fourth choice in moving companies, call to book your move at least a month in advance, if possible. If a good mover isn’t available for your preferred move date, you may have to move your schedule a bit, and it’s good to know that well ahead of time.

Get Your Moving Budget in Order

Once you book your move with the moving company, they’ll give you a good estimate of what they’ll charge you. This can be a very important piece of your budget over the next month or two, as you’re dealing with closing costs for a house or deposit and rent for an apartment. Don’t forget to factor in packing supplies, fuel, storage unit costs, and perhaps cleaning costs as well. See if you have any fees for terminating your lease or utilities, and make sure they’re included in your budget. 

Peace of Mind

Getting your moving agreement in order well ahead of time lets you focus on all the other things you need to do: paring down your stuff, packing, cleaning, making moving day arrangements for kids or pets, making sure all your utilities will be up and running on moving day, buying furniture, closing contracts, working, registering kids for a new school, etc. When you have too much on your plate, you’re also more likely to make mistakes or overlook an important part of the process, causing more stress. Every step of this process that you can check off your list means more peace of mind for you and your family.
