Tip #1 - Plan Your Move Date

The first step is to plan ahead. Waiting until the last minute-especially during the busy summer season-limits your options and can result in disappointment when it comes to securing the services of the mover you want at the date of your choosing.

We recommend that you begin making arrangements for your move at least four to six weeks before the moving date. A planning checklist and planner, called Countdown to Moving Day, along with other useful advice, is available at our association's consumer Web site, www.moving.org.
