Scheduling
How far in advance should I book movers?
For local moves, one to two weeks is usually enough. End and beginning of month, weekends, and summer fill fastest, so book two to four weeks ahead for those dates. Small or last-minute moves can sometimes be fit in sooner — call and ask.
Month-end is the busiest time because leases turn over.
Weekday moves are easier to schedule.
Long-distance moves need more lead time.
