Cheap Moving – but Safe Moving!
Want to move cheaply? It's possible, but beware of scams! You'll see a lot of ads for cheap moving companies in June. Unfortunately, many of these companies have no experience and don't offer moving insurance. Not to mention companies you never hear from again once the first deposit is received. It's possible to move cheaply even if you work with a real, professional, and certified mover.
How Much Does a Move Cost?
Often, the cost of a move depends on the time required. In this case, the more you prepare your move, the more time you save and therefore the more money you save. Here are some tips to ensure a cheap move. First, choose a date outside of peak periods (if possible, of course). Then, pack all your moving boxes yourself and label them carefully: direction of the box, location, fragile or heavy. Don't think you'll save time by overfilling the boxes: yes, professional movers are strong, but boxes don't always hold up. If your belongings break during the move, you'll have to replace them, which will incur additional costs.
Little Tips for a Cheap Move
For a cheap move, also consider disassembling your furniture and protecting it with blankets. Certified movers protect all furniture with padded blankets to prevent breakage, which can be time-consuming. While professional movers only have to transport furniture and boxes, you'll find they're very fast! Make sure you're present throughout the move and ask a friend to accompany you if necessary. You'll be able to guide the movers into your new home, so you'll avoid wasting any time.
Wanting to Move Cheaply – Is It Really Cheaper?
If you think the best way to move cheaply is to ask friends for help, do your calculations: cost of renting the truck for moving transport, moving insurance, gas, pizzas and drinks for everyone, cost of replacing furniture broken along the way (this is very common), etc. Not to mention the risk of injury...
