Planning a move? The rising cost of living can strain household budgets, making every expense count.
Here are some wallet-friendly tips to help keep your move as cost-effective as possible:
1. Plan Ahead:
Get quotes from multiple moving companies to compare prices and services.
Consider factors like distance, time of year to budget accurately.
2. Declutter Wisely:
Before packing, sell, donate, or toss items you don’t need.
Fewer items mean lower transportation costs, and a lighter load can help you manage living expenses in your new location.
3. Pick Off-Peak Times:
Be flexible with your moving date by either moving during weekdays or outside peak seasons. We recommend moving on a Friday so you can secure a weekday rate and spend the weekend unpacking.
4. Pack Yourself:
Save on labour costs by packing your belongings yourself.
Use free or low-cost packing materials like newspapers and blankets to stretch your moving budget further.
5. Move smaller items yourself
If your budget doesn’t stretch far, you can prioritise getting a removalists to move your items leaving smaller boxes, pot plants and clothing to be relocated yourself.
By following these tips, you can make your move more budget-friendly without sacrificing quality service.
