When should I book movers in Atlanta?

Book at least 4 weeks ahead for off-peak moves (October through April) and 6–8 weeks ahead for peak season (May through September). End-of-month dates fill up fastest because most leases turn over then.

Do I really need a written estimate?

Yes — always. A written, itemized estimate is the only protection you have against surprise charges on move day. In Georgia, licensed movers are required to provide one. If a company won't put pricing in writing, walk away.

What should be in my essentials box?

Phone chargers, a change of clothes, toiletries, medications, important documents, basic tools, paper towels, trash bags, and bedding for the first night. Keep this box with you in your car — not on the truck.
