Helpful Moving FAQ
Moving can be a stressful process, but we’re here to help! Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about moving:
- 1. How far in advance should I schedule my move? We recommend scheduling your move at least 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure availability and to give you ample time to prepare.
- 2. What items should I avoid packing? Avoid packing hazardous materials such as flammable items, perishable food, and valuable documents. It’s best to transport these personally.
- 3. How do I pack fragile items? Use plenty of bubble wrap or packing paper, and clearly label boxes with fragile items. Place them in sturdy boxes and ensure there is minimal movement within the box.
- 4. Do you offer packing services? Yes, we offer professional packing services to ensure your belongings are safely and efficiently packed.
- 5. How do I prepare large furniture for moving? Disassemble any large furniture if possible, and keep screws and small parts in labeled bags. Use furniture pads and blankets to protect surfaces.
- 6. What should I do on moving day? Ensure all boxes are labeled and ready to go. Confirm details with your moving team, and do a final walkthrough to ensure nothing is left behind.

General
Plan thoroughly before moving – consider timeline, budget, packing, movers vs DIY, transportation, address change, and contacts.
Generally our schedule usually fills up 2-3 weeks in advance. Saturdays tend to fill up in less time. However, we’ve had customers book a move 1 day in advance! We understand that moving is hectic and Shannon Moving will do our best to accommodate your needs in scheduling your move. Contact us today for a hassle-free experience.
