Whether you prepare the unit yourself or hire Pack & Move Services, packing, access, labor, and shuttle costs can add up. Saving money during your moving process can be done with the help of these handy tips!
Minimize Your Belongings
Some common examples of things that you may consider eliminating include:
- Unused clothing
- Expired products (cosmetics, food, etc.)
- Old Electronics
- Ruined Furniture
- Jars and Bottles
- Receipts
- Magazines/papers/books
- Broken toys, tools, or other broken household items
- Stored knick-knacks
- Non-functioning appliances
- Pre-Pack Some Items Yourself
The cost of storage-unit packing and moving varies with the amount being handled, unit size, access conditions, service type, crew time, and whether a short-distance shuttle is needed. You can significantly reduce the cost of your relocation by packing some of your items yourself. We strongly suggest having a first-day box packed with the essentials you will need for your first days in your new home.
Items you can consider Pre-Packing include:
- Towels/linens
- Pillows
- Books
- Dishes
- Clothing
- Toiletries
- Cleaning Supplies
- Pet Supplies
- Toys
When packing your own items, make sure you have good quality boxes, strong tape, and a marker to label each box with its respective items.
