Answers to Common Questions About Your Move

We understand moving can bring up a lot of questions. Here are some quick answers to help you feel more confident and informed before, during, and after your move.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance to ensure your preferred date and time are available.

The day before your move, unplug all appliances and give them time to defrost, drain, or dry out if needed (like fridges, freezers, and washing machines). Secure cords and remove any loose parts. Clean each appliance to prevent odors and leaks during transport. This helps ensure a smooth and safe move for your appliances.
