How to Save on Moving Costs

Reduce the Amount of Items You Need To Move

If you take the time to go through your belongings, you’ll realize that there are many items you no longer need or use. Getting rid of unwanted or unused items is one of the easiest ways to save on moving costs. By eliminating old furniture, clothes that don’t fit, outdated electronics, and unused bedding, you’ll have fewer items, thereby making your move less expensive.

Here are some of the ways to reduce the amount of stuff you need to move:

• Sell unwanted items on sites like Craigslist, eBay, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace.
• Hold a yard sale.
• Donate fairly used items to charity organizations.
• Call a professional junk removal company like The Junk Tycoons to haul away unwanted furniture, appliances, electronics, and clothing.

To be on the safe side and avoid the last-minute rush, you should start planning for your move at least three months in advance.

Hire a Professional Moving Company

While reaching out to friends and family for help when moving may seem like an easy way to save money, DIY moving can prove to be expensive in the long run. Going the DIY route means you’ll have to rent a moving truck, purchase packing supplies, do the heavy lifting, and protect your belongings during the move. The lack of professional moving experience means you’ll take longer to pack your belongings, disassemble and reassemble furniture, and load the items onto the moving truck. Additionally, you could seriously injure yourself when doing the heavy lifting. Therefore, hiring experienced movers can be a great way to save money and time when moving. Professional movers will have the right moving equipment and supplies and the experience to properly handle all of your items.

Move During Low Demand Times

Scheduling professional movers when demand is low can potentially lower your moving costs. Most people plan their moves for the weekend, so most movers will have higher rates on weekends. You’re more likely to save money if you schedule your move for midweek. To save on moving costs even more, we suggest moving during winter when the demand for professional moving services is at its lowest.
