Episode Notes

Think moving is as simple as packing a few boxes and loading them into your car? Think again! Moving home involves a laundry list of steps and “to-do” points, each with its own sublist of worst-case scenarios. What feels like a straightforward relocation can quickly become a major complication. Unless you follow these tips shared by expert movers from Middle Tennessee.

Those who are optimistic about moving have generally never done it before. But as moving day creeps closer, suddenly all the difficulties grow all too clear. Whether you’re moving to a house or apartment, there's always ample room for mistakes that can bring the whole project crashing down.

No pressure, though.

Scheduling complications... Unpredictable costs... Lengthy packing processes... these are just some of the factors that make moving a misery. But professional movers have solutions for each.

Week Days = Less Pay. Thinking of moving during the weekend? Sure, you’re more likely to find friends and family with free time… until you tell them you’re moving. Football season is just starting, after all - and moving can take an entire day.

That’s what leads people to moving companies, instead - and that’s also why companies get booked up on weekends. Everyone has the same idea… but experts suggest you go against the grain.

By choosing a weekday for your move, you’re likely getting moving companies at their less-busy times. That means potentially lower rates - and since most people are at work, the streets aren’t so crowded, either.

Mid-Month Moving Hacks. And the time of the month matters just as much. True Friends Moving Company explains…

“Summer holidays such as Labor Day or the Fourth of July are especially big moving days due to the expected good weather and availability of helpers. Think about it logically: when are most leases starting or ending? The beginning of the month - so avoid those dates at all costs.”

Ideally, you want to move weeks before - or after - major holidays. That way, you stand the best chance of catching movers when they’re most available… and you won’t have to compete with as many families.

Take Advantage of Professional Support. Professionals can do a lot more than lift your furniture into their truck. Most will also provide full and partial packing to help you prepare your belongings for safe transit, bringing boxes, bubble wrap, and moving blankets as needed. And many will even offer a central point of contact from the start, alleviating your worries by ensuring that you always have someone to reach out to - anytime.

Worried about the potential costs? Don’t be. Many professionals will offer flat-rate pricing policies, signposted by upfront estimates. Transparency will help both parties, after all - if you know exactly how much you might be charged for distance, cargo, and other aspects, you won’t be surprised after the fact. And nor will your movers.

By following these tips and consulting with professional movers, you can put the “smooth” in your upcoming move - whether it’s residential, commercial, senior living, long-distance… you name it.
