Moving Tips to Save Time & Money:

  1. Get your move organized. Make contact with at least two moving companies and get your estimates early so you’re not rushed and your desired moving date is not taken.
  2. The single most important money saving tip is packing your own household items. This can be tedious work requiring many hours. Paying a moving company to pack your contents can be very expensive.
  3. Label the top and sides of your boxes.
  4. Label boxes with the room location at your new residence.
  5. Have all loose items packed before our arrival on moving day.
  6. Pack a bag prior to your move with personal items that you may need immediately. (medications, toiletries, etc.)
  7. Safeguard all valuables such as important documents, jewelry, and collectables.
