Cost of Hiring Movers:
There are different packages available as per the size of your move. Keep in mind if you go for packing services the charges would be additional and same goes for the storage. The average cost of one person per hour is $25, it can differ a bit as per location.
• Now your cost is entirely in your hands. It depends on the number of movers you hire and the time taken to load, travel and unload while shifting.
Say for example if you hire two professionals and the time consumed in the entire process is 5 hours the cost would be around 250$. Now it will be customised for every individual and his requirements.
• Additional time will be consumed if you seek packing services. It may require several days. For that, you can get quotes from movers and look for per day or the entire packing costs instead of hiring professionals on an hourly basis. It may go way too costly.
All the renowned moving companies provide you with a calculation tool on their websites or applications where you can put all the personalised details and get the exact cost of moving. You can then take your planning forward accordingly. The calculator will help you to know where you can deduct the prices significantly to reduce the overall cost of your moving.
Make sure the professional movers you hire have no hidden costs and maintain the complete transparency, else you may have to pay extra bucks for just not going through their terms and conditions.
• Fuel costs are often not included in any moving services, you are supposed to get the fuel tank filled. Rather if the fuel level goes down to its original level when it reached your place you will have to pay the penalty charges.
Talk about all these things to your moving company at the time of hiring in order to avoid any sort of confusion. Or else you may pay them as per the distance and estimated fuel required to travel from your old house to a new place.
• In case of a complex shift, many of us go for storage services. It may be for hours, days or sometimes weeks. Storage services can be a big loss to your pocket. It is better to first fix your destination or rather keep your luggage to the place of your friends and relatives rather than going for storage services. If as per the company policy they charge on an hourly basis, you can be in a great difficulty.
The bottom line for cost-effective shifting:
Plan, plan and plan. Effective planning is very important for a pocket-friendly shifting. Take the professional help only for the things you cannot do yourself, don't just rely on them completely.
