To avoid that summertime sadness when your move date comes, make sure to check out this summer moving guide by Movers.com.
It's so hot, if it drops below 100 it feels chilly... So why, then, are all these people moving NOW?
Sure, there are benefits to moving in the summer: the days are longer - so more time to pack and unpack, the kids are home - so all hands on deck, and you definitely don't have to worry about slipping on the ice while carrying heavy boxes!
However, if you're planning on moving this summer, there are some important things you should consider - starting with the fact that 70% of all moves happen during summer, between the months of May and September, so it may be harder to find available and reputable moving companies.
You can find all the dos and don'ts and pro moving tips in this Movers.com guide at https://www.movers.com/moving-guides/a-guide-to-moving-in-summer.html - plus, you can use their site to find the best licensed and insured movers in Edison, NJ, get free estimates, and book your movers early.
But more on that later. First, let's go through a few tips on making your summer move a breeze. (It's the only kind of breeze you'll get this time of year!)
✔️ Find Your Movers Early
Don't postpone finding your movers until it's the eleventh hour and you're willing to hire any guy with a truck. Make sure you start your search at least one month in advance and book a reliable moving company.
Remember the Law of Good, Fast, and Cheap? You get to have two - never all three. So make sure you start looking for movers as soon as possible!
✔️ Get Free Estimates & Compare
It may be tempting to just hire the first moving company that offers you reasonable rates and good service - but that's not recommended. You may be able to get a better offer from someone else.
The problem is, of course, that you don't want to waste days going from one mover to the next, asking for quotes. The good thing is, you don't have to. On Movers.com, you can get free estimates from top licensed and insured movers so you can easily compare your options and choose the one that best suits you.
✔️ Packing Dos & Don'ts
You're probably noticing a pattern here - don't delay packing until the last minute. Just think about packing an entire house in two days, in 100+ degree weather - doesn't sound too good, does it?
Pace yourself. Start packing early and ask your friends and family for help.
And be careful with items that could be damaged in extreme heat. If you have vinyl records and candles, you're gonna wanna carry those with you in the car, along with any electronics. The moving trucks can get really hot and your stuff could get damaged.
✔️ The Not-So-Busy Summer Moving Days
While summer as a whole is super busy, there are some days that are more busy than others. If you'd like to avoid the busiest days of the busiest moving season, then don't even think about moving on the weekend or at the beginning or the end of the month.
And remember, you can find movers for any relocation on Movers.com. They've been in business since 1994 and have a network of over 700 licensed and insured moving companies.
