Stay stress-free when you move next time
Moving is stressful. The trick to a stress-free move is to always plan ahead. You can start by asking yourself if you should do it yourself or hire a reliable mover to do it for you. If you are planning your move on a budget, why not do it yourself? But if you are planning on hiring a mover, speak to friends, relatives or colleagues that have recently moved, ask them which movers they have used and their overall experience with them. With so many different moving companies in the market nowadays, it can be a pretty daunting choice to make.
Here are some tips to help you decide what’s best for you, and within your budget to help you stay stress-free during your move.
Moving Companies
After you have a list of recommended movers, research about them online. Get quotes from various companies, and always make sure that your mover has seen the things you will be moving before negotiating on a price. Chances are, companies that do not view your things prior to your move will probably cost you a lot of money after, due to hidden costs. Always be sure to ask your mover if there’s any additional charges, like having the movers climb stairs or carrying of heavy items above a certain weight.
The good thing about hiring large moving companies like Shalom movers, Citimap Singapore and Soon Seng Transport Services, are that they are reputable and efficient, offers transparent pricing and are unlikely to have any issues or incur any damages during the moving process. On the down side, these large moving companies are typically pricier than small moving companies.
If you are on a smaller budget, some of the more experienced small to medium sized moving companies you can consider are YongShen Mover, VimBox Moving Service, Stallion Movers, Rodex Movers, EH Mover, The New Charis Misson and Highpoint. These movers offers competitive prices.
Do-It-Yourself
The cheapest method would probably be to do it yourself. Places like IKEA, Extra Space and SingPost sells off the rack new carton boxes.
But since you are doing it on a budget, why not go for boxes that are slightly used instead? They often comes at a much cheaper price compared to new boxes. Furthermore, why buy new boxes when you’ll only use the boxes once and then throw it away? Not only will using used boxes help you to save more money, you’ll also be helping to save the environment.
At cartonboxsupply.com, they provide a convenient alternative to meet your packing needs. They sell used boxes at a fraction of the price of new boxes, and the quality is as good as new! Just go online, order the type of kit you need, (their kit comes with basically almost anything you need to do your packing – like tapes, penknives, and the boxes also of course!), then they’ll deliver the boxes straight to your doorstep. Best part? Delivery is free for all orders. After all that packing, get some nice friends together to help you with your move!
Weigh all your options, before making your decision to see what suits you best, within your budget.
