Ways to Save Money When Hiring Professional Movers
2

• When youre moving, hiring professional
  movers can save you time and stress. Movers do
  most of the work, so all youll have to do is
  focus on settling in to your new home and
  neighbourhood. Plus, theyre fast, efficient,
  have the proper moving equipment, provide
  supplies and even offer insurance in case of loss
  or damage.

• However, all these services come at a price,
  which could make you change your mind about
  hiring a pro mover. But, fortunately, there are
  some ways to save on this valuable service.

Do the Easy Packing Yourself

• You can save money by packing small and
  personal items yourself, such as books, dishes
  and clothing. Just be sure to pack tightly and
  use special boxes and plenty of bubble wrap for
  dishes and glassware. Delicate, valuable and
  heavy items should be left to the movers.

• Movers are better able to pack and move these
  delicate items like mirrors, televisions, artwork
  and heavy furniture and appliances. Leaving the
  expensive and heavy stuff for the movers will
  give them less work to do, thus saving you money,
  and ensure these things are moved safely and
  properly.

6
Shop Around for the Best Deal

• When hiring any service, youre more likely
  to get a good deal if you shop around. This
  shopping around should include getting referrals
  from friends and family and checking reviews for
  movers in your area. To find affordable movers in
  your area, you might try using a search term like
  Edmonton moving companies affordable.

7

• A search should bring up movers and their
  reviews and, since most people are looking for
  top service at a reasonable price, your choices
  should include the most budget-friendly and
  top-rated moving companies. The Better Business
  Bureau (BBB) is also a good source for finding
  reputable, affordable movers. Once youve
  narrowed down your options, get their estimates
  and make your comparisons.

8
Buy Your Own Supplies

• Packing materials can be purchased from your
  mover, but they may be more expensive. To save
  money, you can try purchasing your boxes, bubble
  wrap, packing popcorn and any other supplies from
  a hardware store, moving van rental company or
  some specialty website. Professional movers will
  pack your stuff with any materials you provide
  for them.

• However, you wont have to worry about moving
  equipment like dollies, because professional
  moving teams, like our own, are fully-equipped.

Move When Business is Slow

• Generally, the last 10 days of the month are
  the busiest for movers. Oddly enough, most people
  move at the end of the month, making moving rates
  higher during this time. However, if you move in
  the middle of the month, you can sometimes
  negotiate a better price. Moving outside of the
  busy season of May through September will also
  give you a reasonable rate.

• The winter is the cheapest time to move with
  the help of professional movers.
