We all want to lower relocation costs, especially for long-distance moves. Many relocation service providers provide estimates that may appear less expensive on paper, but end up being far more expensive on the day of the move. This is why it is important to try and lower your relocation costs in a clever and educated way and not be lured by false estimates. This latest Alpha Moving and Storage article will provide you with tips that will help you do just that.
Lowering Long Distance Relocation Costs
In order to lower your long distance moving costs, you need to start your searches early, be thorough in your research and compare the relocation prices and extra fees.
Begin by starting your search at least six weeks prior to your actual pickup date. This will give you enough time to make some of the moving preparations yourself and to carefully compare the various offers.
Checking Your New Jersey Mover’s Reputation
In order to thoroughly check the reputation of potential relocation service providers, be sure to ask for references. Pleased customers shouldn’t have any problem with leaving their email addresses. Individually contact them with a polite email. Ask if they had experienced a similar move to the one you are about to perform.
Packing Advice From a Licensed New Jersey Mover
Doing some of the packing yourself will help you with lowering the final cost of the move. We do recommend that you leave breakable items and electronic equipment for the movers to pack. However, items such as books, files, plastic toys and so on can be self-packed in order to lower relocation costs. You can ask your moving company to deliver book and file boxes several weeks before your moving date.
