Moving interstate on a budget? Nobody wants to spend more than what they need to on moving. Let’s face it – it’s not an exciting spend, like buying a new car or shopping for clothes. Rather, it’s a necessity!
But here, Fragile Removals are going to let you in on some key tips for keeping those costs down when you’re moving interstate.
And nope, you won’t have to hire a truck yourself and break your back over moving all your stuff alone!
Let’s take a look at the most cost-effective ways to move interstate, thanks to the legends at Fragile Removals:
One of the biggest mistakes we see people make is to call up a random moving company, get a quote and then lock it in immediately. Truth is, the first moving team you call might not be the best value. Get at least three different quotes from three different moving companies and then make the obvious choice – Fragile Removals.
Don’t go for the absolute cheapest moving company if they’ve got shocking reviews. This will end up costing you more in the end, after belongings are broken and you’re forced to replace them because the dodgy movers didn’t offer an insurance policy. Instead, go for the best value service: reputable movers at a great price.
Moving less stuff costs less money, so you can take this opportunity to declutter the home, selling or donating items you don’t want to bring with you. The more stuff you have, the more expensive your interstate move will be in the end. This is because interstate moves are primarily calculated on a per cubic meter rate (volume of goods in cubic meter x cubic rate).
You can also save money in the packing materials department. Buying packing materials in bulk and buying second-hand moving materials are two easy ways to save money on packing. Avoid non-removals boxes as they make it hard for the removalists to stack them in the load – they’re also much flimsier!
And finally, book your movers in as early as possible. Moving interstate is a big task, and movers often need a fair bit of notice for interstate moves. Booking in the week before is a sure way to pay more for your movers, as they’ll likely need to shift things around or hire extra hands, which drives up the price. Think of booking movers like booking plane tickets: the later you leave it, the pricier they get.
