When Is The Best Time To Move?
If it's possible, Big Blue Logistics suggests you should move
when it is most convenient for you. You should consider the following
factors when making your decision:

- moving children during the school term
- separation of the family while the move is
under way
It is always best to schedule your move months
in advance so you can be better prepared.

How Long Does It Take To Move?
This depends on many factors, such as the time of year, weather
conditions, size of your shipment, time required to load and unload, and
the direction and distance your shipment is traveling.
Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a van, it
is often necessary for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same
van. Each shipment is carefully sectioned off from the others.

provide safe storage facilities for holding your goods until you're
ready for them. However, you are responsible for the storage charges,
warehouse valuation coverage and final delivery charges from the
warehouse.
If your goods are placed in storage, there will be an additional charge
for the valuation or insurance coverage provided for your shipment, as
mentioned previously. The type of coverage and cost will depend upon
whether the shipment is held in storage-in-transit (temporary) or in
permanent (long-term) storage. Please call for more information on this.
