Tips for a Smooth Move in Philly

1. Plan Early

   
   

   Secure your moving date at least 3–4 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons (spring/summer).

2. Reserve Parking

   
   

   Check with the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) for temporary moving permits to avoid fines and delays.

3. Declutter Before You Pack

   
   

   Donate or recycle items you no longer need—less to move means lower costs.

4. Label Everything Clearly

   
   

   Mark boxes by room (Kitchen, Bedroom, etc.) and note fragile items.

5. Hire Local Experts

   
   

   Movers familiar with Philly know how to navigate narrow alleys, rowhouse stairs, and busy traffic.
