One of the most frustrating experiences that can occur with a long-distance move is when you arrive long before your movers. Considering that most moving companies estimate that it takes at least two days to move 1,000 miles, if you are moving cross-country, you could be looking at a week or more, depending on driving conditions. Also, since summer is the busiest moving time, you may need to be more flexible with your delivery time-frame, aka, delivery window. Generally, a mover will be able to give you an approximate delivery window based on your request--some companies even offer a guaranteed delivery date. A professional moving company should keep you abreast of their moving schedule as it unfolds. What if you can't be there when your stuff arrives? You will either need to authorize a third party to be there when the truck arrives, or have your movers place your things into storage. Most movers will make every effort to meet your expectations for delivery, however, it's important to make sure you have contact information for your movers as well as a bit of flexibility and patience.
