Before moving, we suggest that you begin the process of packing a few days to a few weeks beforehand. It is easy to underestimate how long you need to pack everything. The more time you give yourself to pack, the better organized you will stay and the less stress and anxiety you will have on moving day.
Below is a table with our suggested amount of days you should prepare to put aside in order to pack depending on the bedroom amount for one person.
These are just estimated times, actual moving time will vary based on your specific moving needs such as the distance between locations, the amount of items being moved, traffic and more. Always consult with a professional moving company for a more accurate estimate based on your specific moving needs.
