Quick Moving Tips
Advice that saves time, money, and headaches.
Book movers 6–8 weeks early
Peak moving season (May–September) fills fast. Lock in your date and price early to avoid premium pricing.
Get 3+ written quotes
Prices can vary by 30–50% between movers. Always get quotes in writing and verify FMCSA licensing.
Purge before you pack
Sell, donate, or discard anything you haven't used in a year. Less stuff = lower moving cost and less unpacking.
Label boxes on the side
When stacked, only the sides are visible. Include the room name AND a brief contents list on every box.
Pack an overnight bag
Pack clothes, toiletries, chargers, medicine, and snacks for 2–3 nights. The essentials box is your best friend on move day.
Photograph before disconnecting
Snap photos of how electronics are wired before disconnecting. Makes reconnecting at the new place much easier.
