Whether you’re moving far away or a very short distance from your old home, moving furniture could be a very intimidating and expensive process. Time is money, so even if you manage to get some services free you’ll still need to count the cost of your time. Fortunately, there are some ways to save time and money on your next move, so there won’t be too much damage on your finances.
Make a Budget
Itemize all your expenses as early as possible and stick to the budget that you set. Some of your obvious expenses will include fuel, takeout, hotel stays, packing supplies, professional movers, tips, etc. Always budget a little extra to account for unforeseen expenses.
Hire Professional Furniture Removalists
Request quotes from several furniture removalists and compare the costs. The quote given will be based on the number or size of rooms, distance between the both locations, access to the home or office, special requirements, and the time of year. Peak times that are subjected to hire rates are weekends, holidays and summer. If you want to save money, you should time your move to fall during non-peak hours.
As you review the quotes, keep in mind that the cheapest doesn’t always mean that you’ll get the best service. You’ll have to consider the quality of the movers. Review the policies, especially when it comes to damaged item, so you’ll be assured of getting the best value for money.
Use Affordable Packing Methods and Supplies
If you do the packing and unpacking yourself, you’ll save a lot of money. This is where advanced planning comes in. In the months prior to your move you should keep your eyes open for sales on packing supplies. Ask friends and family who have recently moved for any supplies that they might have. Visit the supermarket and ask for free boxes. There might also be empty boxes at work that you can request.
Reduce Your Travel Weight
Moving stuff that you don’t use or need not only adds clutter to your new place, but also increases the cost of your move. Donate, sell or throw out possessions that you don’t need. If you throw a garage sale you’ll get some much needed money to help you with the move. Keep the receipt if you donate to charity since you can use it to make a claim on your taxes.
Switch Off the Utilities
Ask the utilities to switch off your services on moving day. This means that you’ll have to call them ahead of time to make the request. When you do, you won’t be stuck paying for utilities that you didn’t use. A successful move is all about planning. You’ll not only be more organized on moving day but will also save money.
