Moving can be expensive, and moving across the country is no different. There are ways to help make this move less stressful and cost less for you. When you think about everything you’ve accumulated over the years, your stuff can really add up! In order to make your move go a little easier, here are essential tips to follow.
How to Have a Stress Free Move
Pick a Move Out Date
Picking a move out date can help save you money if you move during the nonpeak season the cost could be significantly less. The most popular times to move are on weekends, over a holiday, summer, and end of the month. If you have flexibility on your move date try to avoid those peak times.
Get Rid Of Unwanted Items
Don’t move unnecessary items or trash, you will be paying for this in the long run. The best way to save money on a cross country move is to downsize. The most common places to get rid of items are clothes and kitchen items. If you got a kitchen gadget over a year ago and have used it once, that may be a good item to sell or donate. If you have clothes in your closet saved because “one day” you may want to wear them again or you can’t remember the last time you wore them, those are perfect to donate.
Label Your Boxes
Think ahead to when you’re going to be unpacking, knowing what is in each box will save you the stress of looking for items. Especially items you’ll need right away, like plates, silverware, and dishes for the kitchen or bathroom towels.
Hire Movers
Some people think that do it yourself could be the cheapest and most effective option for a cross country move, but this isn’t always the case. Professional movers will load your items carefully and you won’t have to worry about damage. They will also be equipped with the right gear to help your move go smoothly. You won’t have to pay for hotels, rental trucks, and gas. Everything will be included in your moving quote.
