Moving Tip of the Week: Scheduling Your Move

One of the most important steps of the moving process is knowing when to schedule your move, but from time to time we have been forced to turn down a moving request simply because we are already booked. We know that finding that particular day to move is key in any moving situation. As your Cincinnati Moving Company, we are normally available to handle last minute requests, but we've noticed the customer has often not had enough time to prepare to move on these occasions. Here are some tips our experience has taught us to help schedule your move, and assure that our services are not already booked.

  • The first five days and the last five days of each month will always book up the fastest. This is generally the time when leases are up on apartments and those residences are moving. If you're planning to move on one of these days, it is ALWAYS a good idea to give Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers a month to a month and a half notice to guarantee a reservation.
  • Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are the next set of days that book up quickly. These are often the days when our customers are off of work and/or have the time to move. We find that two weeks is usually sufficient time if you'd like a weekend spot.
  • The Summer months of June , July , and August are the busiest season for Move Cheap. This is when kids are out of school and many families use their vacations to move. If you are planning to move during these months, two to three weeks advance notice is a good time to schedule outside of the exceptions listed above.
Keep in mind that these same guidelines can also be considered when setting up a reservation for your rental moving truck (Uhaul, Penske, Budget), trailer (ABF), or mobile storage unit (PODS, Units, GetaSam, Packrat). The sooner you book your move and your moving transport, the smoother your move will be.

From all of us at Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!
