Q: What does move date mean?

• <div><p>Move date means the day that you are relocating your items from one space to another. If you&rsquo;re renting, your move out date is usually the same as the last day of your lease, but it won&rsquo;t necessarily be the same as your move-in date to another property. </p></div>

Q: How far in advance should you schedule a local moving company?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to book local movers about <b>three months</b> in advance to ensure your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-consider-when-planning-your-moving-date.htm">moving date</a> is available, as most of the time, you&rsquo;ll have a fairly tight window for moving your belongings. When booking your moving date, provide your moving team with as much detailed information as possible to prepare for the big day. Let your movers know an estimate of how many boxes they&rsquo;ll move, any large or bulky items, number of bedrooms in your current home, the type of moving vehicle, and more.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to transport gym equipment?

• <div><p>Gym equipment can be heavy, so it&rsquo;s best to transport it using a furniture dolly. When dealing with treadmills, weight machines, or other bulky items, hiring professional movers or roping in some friends and renting a moving van makes sense. </p></div>

Q: How do you transport a bed frame?

• <div><p>To transport a bed frame, disassemble it as much as needed and then wrap it with moving blankets or bubble wrap to prevent damage. If you&rsquo;re transporting the frame in your vehicle, check to ensure it&rsquo;ll fit before you start. If not, you might need to rent a moving truck or hire professional movers to transport your bed frame to its new home.</p></div>

Q: Can I pay movers to pack my stuff?

• <div><p>Yes: Many moving companies also offer packing services, so you can get a quote that covers the entire move from start to finish. </p></div>
