Top Relocating Tips
2:21 AM
Moving may not happen often in your life but many people end up paying more money than they should because they are usually frustrated and tired by the end of the day. Here are some areas to check out if you are looking for a cheaper way to relocate.
The worst part about asking your friends to help with moving is that you have to treat everyone to dinner afterwards anyway, which cost just as much money. You might as well hire professional help to do the job instead.
Some professional movers will pack for you but it's much cheaper to pack it yourself. All you have to do is ask for boxes before hand and make sure that everything is packed.
When you move, organize your boxes so they are close to the front door. This way, it takes less time for the movers to move everything and while it takes work to do this, it's worth all the money at the end.
Treat the movers with respect and don't boss them around. The harder they push, the faster things get done. When they are on a break, you may also want to offer them a soda so they like you.
One person should know the move inside out and can answer every question that the movers will have. Ideally, it would be bets if everybody knows and don't contradict each other.
Get a final price ahead of time. Sometimes, it is possible to get a price before they start moving. This way, they won't be able to charge you extra at the end when you don't really have a choice.
Try to get the best deal possible by asking! There's always room to go lower and since it's a service business with intense competition, you are giving them too much help by not asking for a discount.
Research always help you find a lower price. Get a feel for the asking price and then start negotiating for a better deal. Citing the competition can often help you knock some dollars off their rate.
Some companies save you time by allowing you to keep everything in desks and drawers so you don't have to pack them. They tape them up and move it for you. These save lots of time so the lazy ones can look into this.
