When to Move, Month End or Mid-Month & Weekend or Weekdays
Congratulations, you are moving to a new home. Now you have many tasks to plan. First comes booking a moving date with your preferred removalists company. Moving expenses can add up but did you know that the day of week or month may make a difference in how much the movers charge?
Follow the below guidelines from our removals Melbourne team and book the best option for you.
Moving at the end of the month
The last week of the month is the busiest time for movers. This busy time is due to the end of lease, property sale, joining a new job and more. If you have a choice to alter your date, our removals Melbourne team suggest moving the date to have a more easy moving experience.
Moving during mid-month or beginning of the month
Mid-month or the beginning of the month tends to be the less busy time to move. If you are budget conscious, movers tend to offer some great deals during this time too. Being the moving companies are less busy, you may also get some great deals on moving supplies and other services they may offer such as storage, packing/unpacking and more.
Moving on the weekend
As you may have guessed, moving on the weekend, especially Saturdays, will be the busiest time to move, especially at month-end. People like Saturday as they work through the week and have Sunday to unpack before going back to work. Although Friday and Sundays are still busy, you may avoid a slight rush on these days.
Moving during the week
Moving Monday – Thursday will always be less busy. If you can take time off work, you will save many headaches and possibly some cash!
In conclusion, your moving date sometimes can not be altered; however, if you have the option, the best time to move is early to mid-month and during the week. Make sure you do your research and ask for a deal before booking your removalists team.
