Everyone knows that long distance moving can be expensive. Relocating your entire family to another state involves many expenses. There are simple ways in which you could save money and spend less on your long distance move. These include self-packing, creating an inventor list and trimming your inventory, contacting movers enough time in advance and more. In this new Alpha Moving and Storage article, we will look at various ways that can help you in saving money for your long distance move.
Long Distance Moving and Storage Money Saving Tips – Self-Packing
Doing some of the packing on your own can definitely help you cut down on the moving costs. Contact your movers and consult with them about which items you can pack yourself. Some items, like televisions and glass parts, are better left for the movers to pack, especially for long distance moving. On the other hand, items such as books, CDs, and files can definitely be packed by you in order to save money.
Long Distance Moving and Storage Money Saving Tips – Creating an Inventory List
Create an inventory list to help you decide which items you can leave behind to cut down on the long distance moving costs. Creating such an inventory in advance will also help you with making packing-related issues.
Long Distance Moving and Storage Money Saving Tips – Contacting Movers
Don’t wait until the very last minute to contact your long distance movers. It is highly recommended to contact movers at lease five to eight weeks in advance. Especially during the summer months, moving companies tend to get booked a few weeks in advance. Also, last minute long distance moving rates are notoriously high. Contacting movers several weeks in advance will give you time enough to self-pack, trim down your inventory and make other calculated moving-related decisions.
