This post is to give you some useful tips to save more money, time and effort when moving a house. If you are ready then bear with me and read through the post. So are you ready?
Throw unwanted goods and items to cut moving costs
We human being are emotional and get attached with even older stuff that we don’t think we will be using any more. Get rid of all unwanted items that you think is not required any more. This step is very essential. I am sure that the old books that your old useless shoes are not required any more and you can easily get rid of it. Throw it out, give it, donate it do whatever you want to do with such items, but don’t carry such garbage to your new home.
Request quotations from multiple Packers and Movers to compare
Don’t just talk to one Packers and Movers service provider companies and take a call. Get in touch with at least there packers and movers companies in your city, compare their service credentials, terms, offers etc and then take a call. Comparing and evaluating a few moving companies gives you choices as well as opportunity to know the best prices.
Remain flexible when hiring a movers and packers
Don’t be rigid and give a little flexibility to the service provider so that he can offer you a better deal. Often when you relocate during off-season, they tend to quote you less, because its about surviving their business for a few months when there is no or low work in the market. Check with them if they can relocate your goods in shared truck. That is your goods will be shifted in a truck that is already going toward your destination city. This helps them save the transportation costs and in return you get better rates.
Negotiate well with Packers and Movers
Negotiate well with the moving companies. Show them the low price quotations that you have received from other companies and then negotiate. Give them the flexibility to decide a date that is suitable to them. Don’t ask for warehousing services if you can manage without it.
Assist them in the overall process
Even packers and movers companies require assistance and if they have to employ manpower for everything, then that will be charged. You may propose to assist them in the overall process and this may decrease the overall costs.
