A move might not sound fun for your upcoming 3-day holiday weekend, but it sure is more convenience. No need to take extra time off of work, use the extra days to get the new place unpacked and organize, then back to your normal responsibilities after the holiday is done! But there are a couple of things to keep in mind for that move…

Movers

There will be less movers available for hire since everyone has the same idea as you for move day! Plan ahead to ensure you have your movers booked in advance. Use a Moving Tool to get instant cost comparison and book movers that have been pre-screened. Also keep in mind that movers may be more expensive on a holiday weekend. Budget accordingly.

Utilities

Many utility companies close on holidays and won’t start services for you. It’s important to keep this in mind and schedule utility start dates before your holiday weekend move. Even if you won’t be in the new place on the start date, it’s wise to plan ahead and start your services the business day prior to your move weekend.
