How Far in Advance Should You Contact a Moving Company?

I think we can all agree that moving is one of the biggest hassles that an individuals and families face. Not to say that it is incredibly difficult, it is just a big hassle and an extremely time consuming process. Even moving a one bedroom apartment can turn into a multi-day affair. Those who want to avoid backbreaking work often decide to hire professional movers to tackle all of the heavy lifting for them. When you hire movers everything from packing to unpacking is taken care of, allowing you to actually enjoy the process of moving.

As Idaho’s favorite moving company, we are often asked questions about the process of hiring a moving company. One of the most common questions we get asked is “how far in advance should you contact a moving company?

When should I reach out to a moving company?

We often have customers wondering how many weeks before they move they should reach out to a moving company. They understand that they need to give a reasonable amount of notice but how soon should you contact a moving company?

Whether you have made the decision to hire movers for your upcoming move or are still exploring different options, you should reach out to a moving company as soon as possible. Movers can often times get booked up on your desired moving dates if you do not reach out far enough in advance. Most moving companies are more than happy to schedule your move as far in advance as you would like. Whether you are planning to move in one week or two days, if there is availability, movers will be more than happy to get your move on the calendar.

Again plan on reaching out to a moving company sooner rather than later. The earlier you reach out to a moving company to schedule your move the more likely it will be that the company has availability on your desired moving date. A good rule of thumb to follow is to try and get your move scheduled with your movers at least a month in advance. This will increase the likelihood that your dates are available but does not require an unnecessarily long amount of time to plan ahead.

Not to say that you can’t reach out say two weeks or one week before your desired moving date, but you will have a much greater likelihood of the moving company being available on the date and time of your choice.
