WHERE TO (CLEVERLY) CUT CORNERS WHEN MOVING! ✂️
Moving can be a daunting task, but cutting the right corners can make the process more efficient and cost-effective. Here are five tips to help you save time, energy, and money during your move:
Sell or Discard Unnecessary Items: Consider selling items you no longer need on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or eBay. For items in poor condition, explore recycling options or schedule a hard rubbish collection.
Organize Utilities in Advance: Avoid the last-minute rush by contacting your utility providers several weeks before your move. This ensures a smooth transition of services to your new home, minimizing stress and inconvenience. We offer a FREE utility connection service to all of our clients. Get in touch today if you would like to request our utility connection service, so you're not left in the dark on moving day!
Find Free Moving Boxes: Instead of buying moving boxes, check local supermarkets, greengrocers, or online buy/swap/sell groups for free boxes. A little effort can save you a lot of money on packaging supplies.
DIY Your Move: Save on costly professional removalists by doing the move yourself with the help of friends or family. Rent a moving van and hand trolley, and invest some elbow grease to potentially save you thousands.
Move on a Weekday: If you're unable to do the move yourself, your best option is to hire professional movers. Typically, weekends and public holidays are peak times, leading to higher costs. But by scheduling your move on a weekday you may be able to take advantage of potentially lower hourly rates.
By strategically cutting corners in your moving process, you not only save resources but also make the experience smoother and more budget-friendly. Whether it's decluttering, planning utilities, finding free boxes, opting for a DIY move, or scheduling your move on a weekday, these tips can contribute to a more efficient and cost-effective relocation. Remember, a little proactive planning goes a long way in making your move a success.
