Unfortunately, delays are a common occurrence for most modes of transport, making the wait for your belongings to safely arrive at your new home one of the more trying aspects of relocation. To stay informed about the whereabouts of your shipment, it’s crucial that you stay in contact with your movers. This will provide you with updates on the current itinerary, delays, or other factors that can interfere with the predicted travel time of your shipment. Furthermore, establishing an estimated time of delivery for your belongings is not a mathematical science, as there are many aspects that come into play as your belongings move from point A to B.
Common Factors that Effect Delivery Time
The average time range for most long-distance moves can be anywhere from 10 days to more than two weeks. However, due to various unpredictable factors, this time is apt to fluctuate throughout the process. Some of these factors can include:
- The distance of your move – naturally, the further the move, the longer the shipment is going to take
- The size of your shipment – the larger the shipment, the longer the delivery and transport time (try pairing down your items)
- The time of year – peak moving seasons (early summer, early fall, and late spring) can often delay your shipment as many moving teams are heavily booked
