Frequently asked questions
▸When should I start planning my move?
Eight weeks out is the comfortable standard for most local and long-distance moves: it leaves room for mover quotes, address changes and utility scheduling without panic. If you're moving in high season (summer, month-end), start even earlier.
▸How does the countdown work?
Enter your moving date once in the move profile and the timeline computes which week you're in today, then flags every task due this week, overdue, or coming up — the same date drives all seven tools.
▸Is this checklist right for a long-distance move?
Yes — the week structure is the same; long-distance adds lead time for mover quotes and utility transfers, which the timeline flags in the earlier weeks.
