Tip 1. Start Looking for a Moving Company as Early as Possible
Start looking for an affordable moving company as soon as you know you will be moving.
THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS YOU WANT TO GET AN EARLY START.
- Better Choices – Affordable moving companies get booked first. This makes it difficult to find cheap movers at the last minute. By starting your search a few months before your location date, you give yourself a better chance of finding experienced moving professionals with affordable rates.
- More Flexibility – Planning your move far in advance may mean you can set your moving date during the off-peak season, or at least during a time of the month that is not as busy. Either way, you’ll have more dates to choose from giving you more flexibility.
Tip 2. Know What You Need
When you are looking for a reputable and affordable moving company, it only takes one mistake to turn everything upside down. Take some time to determine exactly what you will need from a mover. Some questions you may want to ask yourself include:
- Do you need to move an office, a few rooms, or an entire home?
- Do you need packing supplies, or will you be providing them?
Tip 3.Ask Friends and Family for Recommendations
Professional movers are like other businesses, they rely a lot on word of mouth. If you have friends or family who have used moving services, ask them who they used and if they were satisfied with them. If you have a coworker who moved into a new apartment a few months ago, ask them about their moving experience and if they can recommend affordable movers.
Tip 4.Get Several Quotes
The best way to get a good idea of which moving company is giving you the best deal is to get several quotes. The first company’s estimate may sound great until you get a few from other moving companies. By obtaining several quotes for similar services, you can get a good sense of an average cost. This allows you some room to make the best decision as you will have a better idea of what quotes are reasonable.
