How far in advance should I schedule my move?

Should I be present during the move?
Answer: It’s advisable to be present on moving day to answer questions, provide directions, and oversee the process. However, if you can’t be there, designate a responsible representative.
How long does the moving process typically take?
Answer: The duration of a move varies based on factors like the distance, the volume of items, and the services requested. Local moves may be completed in a day, while long-distance moves can take several days.
