Calendar and availability

Keep your calendar current so the Move Board and customer searches show you when you're actually free.

Overview

Your calendar controls when you show up as available on the directory and on the Move Board. Blocked dates hide you from those days. Confirmed moves auto-block. This article covers /mover/calendar end to end.

Why this feature exists

An honest calendar means customers do not invite you to conflicting dates and you do not have to decline last minute. Every decline nudges your Acceptance Rate down.

Before You Begin

  • Approved mover status
  • Your personal schedule for the next 30–60 days

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open /mover/calendar

Month view by default, with a Day drawer on the right.

What happens next: confirmed moves show in blue, blocked days in gray, available days blank.

2. Block a single day

Click a date. In the drawer, choose "Block this day" and add a reason (optional, for your reference).

What happens next: the day flips gray. Move Board listings for that date will not include you.

3. Block a range

Click "Block Range" at the top. Pick start and end dates. Save.

What happens next: every day in the range is blocked; existing confirmed moves are not affected (you cancel those separately).

4. Set weekly recurring blocks

Use "Recurring" (e.g. every Sunday). Save.

What happens next: the pattern applies for 12 months forward.

5. Toggle all-availability

The Availability switch at the top pauses all bookings. Use for vacations without editing every day.

What happens next: you disappear from the directory and Move Board until you toggle back.

6. Adjust service area

Availability is per-day; service area is separate. Update it under /mover/profile → Service Area if you are traveling.

What happens next: Move Board filters follow the new area immediately.

Helpful Tips

  • Block your family events weeks in advance.
  • Leave one weekend day open even in busy season — repeat customers often book last-minute.
  • If you drive for another gig, block those shifts so you are not double-booked.

Common Mistakes

  • Forgetting to unblock. After vacation, unblock the days or you disappear from search.
  • Blocking after accepting an invite. Blocking does not cancel confirmed moves; cancel from /mover/moves if you must.
  • Setting Availability Off and forgetting. Weeks pass with no jobs and you wonder why.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirmed move on a blocked day. The move was booked before the block; the block does not override it. Contact the customer to reschedule.
  • Calendar not saving. Refresh once. Session may have expired.
  • Day still shows available on public profile. Cache refreshes every few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sync to Google Calendar? Not yet — calendar sync is under development. For now, block Move Gigs Board dates that overlap with your other calendar.

Do partial-day blocks work? No. Blocks are per full day.

Will customers know why I blocked? No. Reasons are private.
