Whether you are moving from a four-bedroom house or a tiny apartment, moving and relocation is expensive. When it comes to moving, because of all the high costs involved, you definitely don’t want to be surprised by extra charges.
This is why we here, at Alpha Moving and Storage have devised this guide to the best ways to save money on moving costs.
The Basic Moving Facts
Running the risk of sounding obvious: in moving, especially in long distance moving, the more you move, the more you pay. You’d be amazed how many people forget about this very simple fact when it’s their turn to move.
Especially for long distance moving, in which the determining factors deciding the final cost of the move are distance and weight, you need to understand that each item you’re adding or detracting will influence the price of the move.
A singly bulky piece of furniture, such as a sofa, may have a lot of impact on the final price. Moving is an excellent opportunity to get rid of all those items you don’t really need, donate clothes, sell some used books and so forth. Don’t just pack everything and move it. Sort out the things you don’t need in order to save money for your move.
Decide What is Worth Moving with You
When you’re moving long distance, you may want to consider purchasing new items at the destination instead of moving them cross-continent. Depending on the rates the moving company provides you, try to estimate the cost of moving individual heavy items of furniture. Many times, you’ll find out it’s more cost effective to simply purchase new living room furniture than to move the existing one.
If you are unsure about the average cost of moving specific, individual items, feel free to contact your Alpha Moving and Storage relocation consultant for more information and advice.
