I was reading that household goods can be store at the origin location for 90 days and as well at destination. Is this an accurate information? I just want to know how many days prior to report date can the movers schedule pickup. Thank you in advance for any information I can get.

Yes, you have up to 90 days of storage before delivery of household goods. Regarding how soon, as soon as you get your PCS orders you can go to your installation transportation office and coordinate your household goods!

Your local transportation office can explain what will work in your particular situation. 90 days at either location is the standard but there are lots of exceptions to policy, especially when you're at an unusual assignment or have training in conjunction with PCS. I can't imagine why anyone would want to be without their household goods for more than 90 days though.

There is limited storage in both ends, here are waivers and mitigation for each. It is best to contact the transportation office.

You can talk with your local transportation office to find out how long it will take for your furniture to arrive to your new location. Based upon the amount of time, it’ll be easier to plan because your storage time doesn’t start until after your HHG arrive to your next destination not when it’s picked. You can also get an additional 90 days as well but you’ll have to talk to transportation at the gaining location prior to the initial 90 days expiration date.
