How to save money on your move

The best way to save money on a move is to prepare as much as possible for moving day. A couple things you can do to speed up the move (thus cut costs) are:

• Pack all your items into boxes and do not use garbage bags. Boxes are faster and easier to move than plastic bags on the verge of ripping.
• Place the boxes near the main door or a garage, so the movers can quickly grab and load the boxes into the truck.
• Move smaller items yourself and leave the bigger, heavier items for the movers.
• Save or reserve a nearby parking spot for the moving truck. A closer parking spot means less time spent walking to and from the truck.
