7 tips to save money on your move

Most people overpay for 3 reasons: bad timing, moving too much stuff, and surprise fees.
Here’s how to keep your move affordable:

✅ Move off-peak if you can: Oct–Apr, Mon–Thu, and mid-month (7th–20th)
✅ Declutter first (sell/donate what you don’t use — less weight = lower cost)
✅ Furniture math: bulky + low-value items can be cheaper to replace than ship
✅ Hybrid move: you pack, we handle loading/transport/unloading
✅ Ask about your estimate: binding vs non-binding (huge for avoiding surprises)
✅ Check reimbursements: some employers help cover relocation (tax rules are limited for most)
✅ Avoid overpriced storage: compare mover storage vs portable containers vs short-term options
