Tips For An Efficient Relocation During The Busy Season

If you are planning to move during the busy season, you need to do things differently from what you would do when moving during the other times of the year. This is because the movers will be busy with different clients and you may experience last-minute challenges if you aren't careful. Use these tips to help you move during the busy season. 

Lock In the Date Early

Since most people will be using moving services during this time, you may be locked out of your preferred dates if you don't book early. Talk to your moving company the minute you confirm that you will be moving so that they can reserve your date. Otherwise, you may be forced to resort to alternative forms of moving, such as renting a truck and driving it yourself, even if you didn't want to relocate that way.

Embrace A Little Flexibility

As mentioned above, there is a risk that your preferred mover may not be available on your chosen moving date. The risk is even higher if you don't make your booking early enough. However, even if that happens, you may still be able to move if you are flexible enough to choose an alternative date. This is possible because even if movers are busy on a given month or even season, they are unlikely to be busy every single day of the month or season. Therefore, switching your move from a Wednesday to a Tuesday or Thursday can help you enjoy the type of moving service you need.

Buy Materials Early

Since many people will be moving during the peak season, there is a risk that you may not get all the moving supplies you need if you don't move fast. This is even truer if you live in a small town or rural area or if there are only a few stores that stock moving supplies. Figure out the types and quantity of supplies you need for the move and stock on them early when they are still available.

Specify Your Needs In Advance

Lastly, you need to specify to your movers the exact services you require from them. Tell the movers if you need them to supply the packing materials, if they will be doing the parking for you or if you need them to disassemble some of your large items. Your movers shouldn't realize that you need them to disassemble the piano only after getting to your place. Don't forget that time is money when moving in the peak season.
