If you’ve found a new home, you’re likely preoccupied with a significant to-do list. However, proper preparation when working with movers ensures a seamless transition, and one factor you shouldn’t overlook is the date of the service. Consult the guide below to pick the right time for your appointment.

What to Consider When Picking a Moving Date

1. Budget

As you look for movers, ask whether rates vary based on the time or day when services occur.

Some companies charge more during periods of high demand, such as weekends and mornings. If you’re working with a tight budget, opt for an “off-peak” day, such as a holiday or weekday.

2. Work Schedule

moverMovers take care of loading, transportation, and unloading of your belongings, but you must be fully available to give professionals access to your home and instructions for boxes.

Pick a date when you know you’ll be free for the entire day. Avoid choosing a morning when you have meetings or appointments later in the day to account for potential delays.

3. Contractual Agreements

If you’re moving out of a rental, you’ll likely have to abide by the dates listed on the lease. Moving after the lease expires or without giving yourself time to clean the space could result in penalties.

Conversely, if you’re selling your home, pick a time before the new family plans to move in. If you’ve signed a contract with a new employer, ensure the date also gives you enough time to unpack and settle in before your first day.
