If you’ve scheduled an afternoon move, the crew can arrive anywhere between noon to 5 pm.
Your movers will typically contact you in advance to give you an estimated arrival time for packing and loading your boxes. When it comes to an ETA, you will be given a window of time that accounts for unforeseen circumstances which can impact the crew’s arrival time.
For example, a moving company may handle several clients a day — some in the morning and others in the afternoon. They will only arrive at your premise after they’re done loading the last piece of cargo from their first client’s home. If there’s any delay in their morning client’s premise, it will also cause a slight delay in your appointment. Inclement weather, road shutdowns, staff coming in late are other factors that can cause slight delays.
But the company will contact you beforehand to let you know about the exact ETA.
