How Far in Advance Should I Book Movers?

We hear this question a lot. The honest answer: book your movers the same day you know you’re moving. Any delay can cost you your preferred date.

Professional moving companies like President Movers are often booked a month in advance. The busiest stretch runs from the 20th of one month to the 5th of the next, and those dates usually book back to back.

Timing gets even tighter for two reasons:

  • Many strata buildings restrict elevator bookings around month-end.
  • Ferry sailings fill quickly in summer.

Crews and ferry spots are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you’re already short on time, we also handle a last-minute move whenever our schedule allows.
