How to Make Your Move Cheaper and Better
HOW TO 
Tags: Moving, Moving Cheaply, Moving Help
Moving can be exhausting and expensive, here are some great tips on how to make it a little easier.
| 1. | Consider moving yourself. Borrow a truck, or rent one, and ask your friends to help. |
| 2. | Seek a binding quote from a moving company. Know that moving companies provide two types of quotes: binding and non-binding. A nonbinding quote means little, it's just their guess of hours and a set price per hour. But they have no incentive to get it done quickly. With a binding quote, you know what you will pay, period. |
| 3. | Be organized. If you have your stuff boxed and well labeled, the move will take less time. If you hire movers, less time will be less money. |
| 4. | Get your boxes free. Lots of people give away used moving boxes on http://www.craigslist.org in the free section, but you have to act fast. Alternatively, ask nicely at a large retail store or market if they have or could save some extra boxes for you. |
| 5. | Consider leasing a moving container and filling it up yourself. A truck will move it to your new location where you can unload it. See http://www.pods.com |
