If your goal is to lower the cost of your move, here are some suggestions:
- declutter your home before move day. When in doubt…throw it out.
- pack your own boxes and be ‘packed and ready to go’ on move day.
- choose a staging area for all your packed boxes and place them there.
- transport all odd-sized/shaped items in your personal vehicle, on or before move day. Items such as table lamps, floor lamps, unusual accessories or art, musical instruments, potted plants, etc. Moving these types of items on your own will cut costs for you.
