Everyone knows how expensive long distance moving can be. Some long distance moving will require storage, professional full packing and other services which may increase costs. So how can the price of your long distance moving be lowered?
Let’s take a look at a few simple things you can do to lower the price of your relocation.
Avoid ‘Bargain’ prices.
This may seem as a paradox, how can you save by not going with the cheapest offers? In actuality, when you receive prices that are extremely low, it normally means you’re dealing with a shady company that will increase the price on the moving date.
By getting prices only from reputable companies, preferably with an agent actually visiting your house and providing you an estimate in writing, you’ll avoid paying all those unexpected, last minute ‘price increases’ and end up saving a lot of money.
Moving Preparation
Once you secure a reputable mover, check with your relocation consultant what you can and cannot do yourself in order to try and lower the costs. Check what items you can pack, what materials you need for packing and so forth. By working in coordination with your mover, you will avoid repacking and lower actual costs.
Obviously, getting rid of unneeded furniture after calculating the cost of their moving and transportation is another great way to cut down your relocation costs. You’ll be surprised how much getting rid of some completely unnecessary items can save you.
