How can I keep my moving costs down? - Tips for Economical Moving

Moving economically requires smart planning. Here are some tips to help you save on your NYC move:

  • Declutter Before Moving: Less stuff means lower moving costs. Sell, donate, or discard items you no longer need rather than paying to move them.

  • Compare Moving Dates: If possible, choose a moving date during off-peak times like mid-month when rates may be lower.

  • Pack Smart: You can save by doing your own packing. We can deliver moving crates ahead of your move day and pick them up from your new place.

  • Label Everything: Clearly label boxes. This speeds up the moving process, saving time and potentially reducing costs.
