Every moving company is different, and the length of time they need to plan for your move will vary based on how far you need to go. It’s never really too early to book, but it could be too late if you wait a week or two before you need to go.

Once you know when you’ll be moving and that you need help with your move, consider hiring movers right away. It’s helpful to book up to three months in advance during busy seasons, but if you get into a pinch, it’s still worth reaching out.³ Some moving companies may have same-day or same-week booking options.

If you don’t want to move all your household goods, one option is to donate them to organizations like the Salvation Army, Goodwill, or Habitat for Humanity. Some of these programs will come pick up items from you, while others require you to drop them off.
