How to Reduce your Moving Costs

Tips from Denver, CO Movers on How to Reduce Your Moving Costs

At Great Plains, we’re proud to serve all members of our community in their residential and business moving needs. No matter your budget, we can help make your move easier, and figure out the timeline and services that will be right for you.

 

Keep Track of your Moving Costs

Moving doesn’t have to break the bank—in fact, you should be aware of most of your moving costs from the start! Dishonest moving companies might try not itemizing their services or providing costs that are customized for your particular needs, so that later they can hike up the costs when you’re too far into the process to object. At Great Plains, you’ll understand your moving costs from the start. Our comprehensive quotes take into account the scope of your move, how much you need to move, how far you need to go, and the timeline you need in order to provide the most accurate information possible.

There are lots of ways to save on moving costs, especially when you have time to plan ahead and gather resources in advance. One of the easiest ways to save money is to use cardboard boxes from businesses. Ask local businesses (particularly grocery stores or liquor stores) if they have boxes you can take before they flatten and recycle them. Stores that ship and vend breakable items might also have heavy duty or reinforced cardboard boxes, which will be great for your kitchen items and other fragile household items.

 

Work with your Dedicated Move Coordinator

You can also work with your coordinator at Great Plains to reduce moving costs by selecting the services you need most. You don’t have to get a quote for us to move your whole household; plenty of clients choose to have us move just furniture pieces, or just a piano or other fragile, heavy item. Your coordinator can help you understand the costs of our various services so that you’re in the best possible position to choose what help you need for your move.

To save on moving costs, you can also consider the time of year when you’ll move. Because the busy season is during the spring and summer, you can find off-season rates from movers when you schedule a move during the slower months of the year. You can also find some movers who will reduce your rates if you’re willing to schedule your move on-call, meaning they’ll slot you in if another client cancels.
