Shock Costs When You Move

Moving is a tense time and nothing is more irritating than discovering additional costs you were never told about or did not think of.

As killing, time consuming and stressful as moving is, one of your most important concerns should be surprise costs while moving. When you plan yourself for these costs ahead of time, a lot of common yet unpredicted money overstress can be eliminated. From unknown moving company fees to restocking the kitchen, being prepared for this fixed cost is the best way to have a less stressful move.

When hiring a moving company, be sure to have them sketch all fees, costs and so on. This includes any special policies they may have such as requiring your sofas to be wrapped. They will charge you for this service or reject to move your sofa. Additionally, if they will be doing the packing, knowing the cost of each box -typically upwards of two dollars- can help you determine whether or not you should find recycled boxes elsewhere. Many persons that have moved recently will give away their old boxes for free. Moving companies will often use boxes you supply, and this can save hundreds of dollars in the moving procedure.
