tems can be added at move time without additional fees. Also be sure to find out for how long the price estimate will be in effect.
Moving during your moving company’s slow time might be a way to negotiate a lower price.
You should be aware that most moving companies do not accept credit cards.
If you want to save money and move by yourself you’ll need to research moving trucks. Ask the truck rental businesses what size and type of vehicle they recommend for your move. Some base this on the size of your house, others will estimate cubic feet based on your inventory of items.
Local moves give you more flexibility. You can rent a smaller truck and make several trips. For a long distance move, you’ll obviously want to fit all your goods into a single trip.
You should also consider renting a hand truck with straps and wrapping blankets. The hand truck makes moving large appliances and boxes far easier.
Local liquor stores, grocery stores and computer stores are good sources of packing boxes. Send out large items that need cleaning and repair and have them delivered to your new address.
You might want to consider having a moving company handle the more difficult items while you tackle the rest. Then you’ll have some assurance that your expensive furniture and appliances will be handled professionally without paying a large expense for the easy things.
