End Of The Month

The End of the month is always the busiest time for moving companies. Most leases are signed around the last days of the month so it creates a bottleneck for moving. If you are one of these people planing on moving during these days, it is smart to start getting your search for a mover going early in the month you want to move in. The best practice is to shop around during the first week of the month, moving companies will offer better deals for these busy days as they, like the airlines, would like to get as many jobs on the board as early as possible. When the last days of the month will start getting filled up, the deals will get less and less attractive as the demand overcomes the supply.
If you are able to move earlier in the month you may be able to squeeze your preferred moving company and get a better deal.
One common mistake is to think that the later you book your move, the better deal you'll find, but as you may see by now, it is just not true.
Some moving companies will overbook the last few days of the month and than drop the less attractive jobs, so be ware of attractive deals you get from movers you don't know much about.
Generally it is important to know who you're dealing with when you book your moving company. Ask friends, family and colleagues for past experiences, check online resources, check the Better Business Bureau. Do not go for the cheapest one you find as it is usually ends up being the most expensive one with hidden charges, theft or just plain lack of experience that translates to major damages to your belongings.
Don't get forget it is your private belongings you have on the line here, it might be worth a few hundred dollars more to have a safe and quite move. Good luck.
