Are you planning a move in the near future?
Then make sure you read this free, ultimate guide before you pack.
No, not this guide.... this is like an intro, a guide to the guide. The full free guide that you want is from Movers.com, and you can find it by clicking here - but first, let me tell you what it's about!
It explains how much it will likely cost to hire a professional moving company, how to get a bunch of free estimates from local professionals, and how you can save money with a bit of pre-planning.
It also explains why the rates for moving companies can vary widely, and which factors affect it, such as location, carrying distance, and whether stairs are involved. It doesn't just explain why things cost as much as they do though - it helps you to reduce your rates, with just a few easy steps.
Well, okay, mainly one big step - but that's because this particular free guide is laser-focused on helping you decide what to pack, and what to leave. If you want other money-saving tips though, Movers.com is absolutely packed with them - it's the purpose of the entire website, to help you save time, money, and effort when you move.
The new guide suggests several methods for determining which objects should be kept and includes a simple flowchart for difficult-to-determine objects. If you're into flowcharts, it's definitely handy.
Of course, Movers.com doesn't suggest throwing away or donating items that are valuable, either monetarily or emotionally, they're not monsters. But they do highlight several key areas where the weight can often be reduced.
Although - if you're like me, you might be wondering... do you really need your weight reduced? Maybe you can keep all of that stuff...
Well, here's my advice - just find out. It's all about space and money, right? So put a number on it.
Here's how, and you might want to bookmark this.
Click right about here to go to my favorite tool from Movers.com - it's a 100% free, no-obligation price quote tool, and it's awesome.
It doesn't just provide you with 1 quote, that's silly - no, Movers.com takes the details of your move, that you fill in on one single, simple form, and sends them to 7 of their top-rated local experts. You'll get 7 quotes, absolutely free, from the best options in town.
So, if you get your estimates back and they're a little too high - that answers the question. You'll have to eliminate some more stuff.
You have a few options still when it comes to how. The guide breaks it down into 3 areas: items to be donated, items to be sold, and items to be trashed.
Well, and a fourth category - items that you want to keep, but don't want to pay someone to move...
For example, the guide suggests that you could use a storage unit to temporarily keep stuff that won’t be needed right away, which can be picked up later when it is more convenient. You know, big furniture, heavy picture albums, boxes of winter gear - that kind of stuff.
While using a storage unit does include additional costs, this is balanced out by the reduced moving rate, and the convenience of having less to transport on moving day. Or at least it should be, don't forget to get yourself a few free, no-obligation price quotes, and find out for yourself.
Here's a tiny excerpt I stole from the guide, “Depending on the condition, you may want to sell, donate or throw away items that you have no use for, are broken, have never been used, or have no sentimental value. It is often a difficult decision to make when it comes to throwing things away, but we all have stuff we don’t need.”
Personally, I'm always interested in saving a bit of money - and Movers.com makes that easier, so sign me up.
