Summer is the most popular time for moving. Schools are out and people’s schedules tend to be less busy. However, summer moving comes with a little madness. With the heat and moving companies’ schedules full, it can be a bit stressful to move during this time.
But no worries, Lobo Moving has some tips to make your summer move a breeze! Also, the best thing about Lobo Moving is our prices are the same ALL YEAR ROUND! So, no gouging or increase in prices for moves in the summer like other big franchises.
Here are our tips:
1. Plan Ahead
Book your move 3-4 weeks in advance because moving companies’ schedules fill up QUICKLY.
2. Research, Research, Research
Do your research! Talk to at least 3-4 companies and get quotes from all of them, compare prices and make a pros and cons list. Remember, the lowest price doesn’t always mean the best.
Make sure the company you choose is licensed and insured in your state.
3. Move on Slow Days
Move on the least busy days. The first and the last of the month are always packed. Most of the time, weekday rates are cheaper than the weekend rates. So, if you can, book your move on a weekday.
4. Cut Costs When Possible
All the tips above will help cut the cost of your move. If you want to save yourself some more money, make sure your items are packed and ready to go before your move. Also, if you can move some items yourself, like boxes, that will help with the bill as well.
Summer moving can be stressful. So, be sure to de-stress when you feel overwhelmed. Stay hydrated, stay organized and be nice to your movers.
