Who supplies the packing supplies when you hire movers?

If you rent a moving truck from a moving company, then you will need to purchase the packing supplies from them or from someone else. If you hire a moving company to pack and move you, then they will bring all of the packing supplies with them that they will use to pack everything and move it to your new home.

What services can movers provide you with?

Movers can pack and unpack your entire home for you. They can also disassemble any large items like furniture and electronics for the move and reassemble them when they are placed into your new home. Movers can transport everything to your new home for you. Some movers can come out to move large items you need help with, such as a hot tub or a piano.

How far in advance should you contact movers?

It's never too soon to contact a residential moving company once you have the date. In fact, even if you don't have an exact date, but you know your move is coming soon, you can contact the movers and get started by getting an estimate and letting them know roughly when your move will be. They will let you know the things they want to inform you of ahead of time that may be helpful. Once you decide on the date of your move, then you can call them back to schedule a time for them to come over. By calling sooner rather than later, you will know they will be available to move you on the exact dates you prefer.
