- The time of year you are moving. If you’re moving during the peak summer months, it’s best to reserve your movers at least eight weeks in advance. Summer is prime time for moving companies, so getting a reservation on short notice is difficult. Between September and March, however, most moving companies don’t need as much advanced notice.
- The day of the week you are moving. Weekend moves are typically full months in advance, but mid-week moves can sometimes be taken with just a few days’ notice—especially during the off-season (i.e., not July and August).
- The size of your move. If you’re moving a three-bedroom house packed to the brim with furniture or other bulky items, your movers will likely want several weeks’ notice. Still, if you only have a few boxes or pieces of furniture to move, many small movers will only need about two days’ notice.
