Top Moving Tips
Unless your company really wants you to relocate, chances are that you will be paying for moving expenses. With this costing thousands in some cases, know a few of the tips below could you save tons of money.
Hired help is usually better than friends for moving because most people don’t want to help and may damage your furniture. Since you probably have to treat them to dinners afterward and spend just as much money, it’s better to pay a crew to move.
Some professional movers will pack for you but it’s much cheaper to pack it yourself. All you have to do is ask for boxes before hand and make sure that everything is packed.
Organize your boxes and have them lined up close to the front of the house. Even better, put them in the driveway so the movers can quickly load them onto the truck. The quicker they get everything done, the cheaper your bill will be.
If the movers like you, they will want to help you. Happy people are also more productive and work faster. When they are tired, offer them a soda. Never ever boss them around.
Being organized helps tremendously with moving. Know exactly where everything goes will help speed everything up. Be prepared and answer the questions that the movers will have so there’s no confusion.
Get a final price ahead of time. Sometimes, it is possible to get a price before they start moving. This way, they won’t be able to charge you extra at the end when you don’t really have a choice.
Negotiate. The owner is used to people asking for a reduced price so don’t be afraid to ask. Let them know that you are looking for a fair price and can recommend them to your friends if the work is good and cheap.
Look around for different movers before you settle on one. In addition to price which is obvious, check ratings, speed and whether they are careful with your stuff or not.
Some movers will move your drawers and desks without asking you to clear them out. This is great for people who are lazy and might even save some time. Remember time is money.
