Saving Money on Your Local Move

 

For people who are moving within the state of Texas, the price is based on an hourly rate, instead of the weight. This makes life easier for you, but there are still ways to save money by shaving off the amount of time it takes for the movers to get you loaded.

 

Make sure you “lighten your load” before your move. If you don’t need something, get rid of it before your move date. The more items you move, the more time it takes.

 

Also, you’ll want to make sure your inventory list is accurate. While you aren’t penalized for added items on a local move, additional items take more time to move. Plus, we’ll want to make sure we have reserved enough truck space & manpower, as a more efficiency equals less time on the clock.

 

Lastly, make sure you’ve completed your packing before the movers arrive. One thing we see happening frequently is, people become tired the night before the move, and often decide to finish packing the next day while the movers are loading. You never know what they will need to load first, and since your movers cannot wait for you to complete your packing, they will have to assist you with it. This is how people incur extra charges for which they weren’t planning. Additionally, be sure to get assistance for any “special care items” you may not know how to pack securely before the day of your move, so there are no surprise packing expenses on moving day.

 

Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, nothing will make your move more stress-free than a little bit of preparation. Because if you don’t have time to prepare properly, when will you have time to fix it?
