How far in advance is it necessary to hire a moving service?

When to notify the transportation company to coordinate the pickup and delivery dates of the merchandise?

Imagine you have found a transportation company that has affordable prices for services. Now, how far in advance you must confirm the services to that company, to agree with it the moving dates?

In this sense the season has a certain influence. For example, in summer, in a holiday season, it is much better to book your move in advance. But, as a rule, especially if your cargo is large enough to have an individualized service, for the transportation of your goods we offer only one unit of large or small vehicle (truck or van) So, we recommend contacting the company about 18 - 22 working days in advance.

It is very comfortable to set up your plans well and from the beginning offer the company a range (as wide as possible) of the days that best suit you for the performing of your move.

In case of small orders, it is more important to have flexibility on the dates for the requested service before having the request presented. That flexibility allows the company to offer the user very competitive prices (for example, found through REMOVAL CALCULATOR), taking advantage of the programmed departure of a vehicle for the transportation, or to include your items with an small volume / weight in the working plan to carry them out the in another appropriate route, which will be formed.

In any case, in order to avoid the stressful situation for the clients during the removal, we highly recommend not linking the transportation of the belongings by land with the trips by plane, car or train to the new residence (to receive your goods at the destination after delivering them at the origin). It is much better and safe to travel in a quiet way. You can instruct a family member or friend to control the removal of the goods, to be sure that all the items are moved correctly, and nothing is transported by mistake.

Nevertheless, if you prefer to deliver your goods personally to the transport company, we recommend, in that case, commission someone at the destination of the move, sending them a list of the delivered objects. That way, upon receipt of your move, they can check the completeness and integrity of the items.

In the end, we recommend reading two other articles of ours, where we try to answer questions that sound similar, but are quite different in nature and sometimes generate confusion:

1. HOW LONG DOES A MOVING OR TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS TAKE?
2. HOW FAR IN ADVANCE IS IT NECESSARY TO ORGANIZE THE MOVING?
