5 Ways To Save Money On Your Next Move

WisemoveMoving can be a costly exercise, but if you plan sensibly, you can save yourself a lot of money. Before moving house, check out these five tips that could help you save money on your upcoming move.

1. Pack most of your belongings yourself

Packing up your belongings yourself is one of the best ways to save money on your move. Not only will you save on the cost of hiring people to help you pack, but you’ll also be able to better control which items are packed and how they’re packed.

When packing yourself, be sure to use smaller boxes for heavier items and larger boxes for lighter items. And if possible, try to optimise how you pack your boxes to avoid having to make multiple trips.

2.  Declutter and Donate – Get rid of things you no longer need or want

Before you start packing for your move, take some time to declutter your home. Get rid of items that you no longer need or want, and donate any gently used items to charity. 

Not only will decluttering lighten your load, but it will also save you money on packing materials and moving costs.

3. Use free used boxes from liquor stores, bookstores or grocery stores

The next time you move house, don’t pay for boxes. Instead, ask your local liquor store or Spar if they have any used boxes they’d like to get rid of. If they have any, shops are happy to hand out their used boxes. 

Just walk in with a friendly attitude and you’ll be surprised how many times you get a “Sure, here’s one” response.

4. Wrap your kitchen items with linens, towels or old newspapers  instead of using bubble wrap

Instead of using bubble wrap to protect your dishes and glassware, try wrapping them in old towels, linens or newspapers. 

This will save you money on packing materials, and it’s a great way of saving packing space and reusing items that you might otherwise throw away.

5. Get multiple quotes before choosing a moving company

When it comes time to choose a moving company, be sure to get multiple quotes. Compare the cost of different companies, as well as their services and reputation. And don’t be afraid to negotiate – many moving companies are willing to offer better prices to win your business. 

Don’t like negotiating for better prices? Why not let companies bid for your work! Wise Move is the online moving platform that does the negotiating for you. Simply enter the details of your move into their online request form and receive quotes from multiple reputable moving companies. 

And, because Wise Move only works with licensed and insured movers, you can be sure that you’re getting quality service at a fair price.

Ready to move? Let Wise Move help.

Saving money on your next move doesn’t have to be difficult – just follow these five tips and you’ll be on your way. And if you want to make things even easier, check out Wise Move. We’ll help you find the best deal on your next move.
