While individual results will vary, the report suggests that by booking a move up to 6 months in advance, users can often reduce their rates by up to 25%. Scheduling in advance also offers several other benefits, such as allowing users to sell any unwanted items in a garage sale, rather than paying to have them relocated.
The report also covers several other steps users can take in advance, to limit the amount of work needed on the day of the move, and to eliminate additional fees.
