Money-saving Packing Tips
Many factors affect the overall cost of a move. For local moves, much of the cost is determined by manpower. This includes packing time, loading time, and unloading time. For long-distance moves, major costs also include weight and distance.
The following money-saving tips address all of these issues. Your Randall representative will also discuss these in more detail with you during your planning process. If you don't use it, lose it. Check your attic, your basement, your wardrobe. Sell, donate, or discard items that are no longer in use and can be parted with. Review your future floor plan. If a piece of furniture doesn't fit, give it a good home before you move.
You've consolidated and still have boxes of books. Consider shipping them separately through the mail. Special postage rates may save you money.
Consider leaving behind outdoor items such as swing sets, sheds, and other replaceable items. This eliminates weight as well as tear-down and set-up costs.
Carry jewelry, safe-deposit box contents, insurance policies, coin or stamp collections, and other small valuable items with you. Also consider sending other valuable or unusual items as insured or registered packages (USPS, UPS, FED-EX, etc.)
Take a photo and video inventory of your possessions before you move. This information can save you money in the event of a damage insurance claim during the move or at some future time if you have a homeowners insurance claim.
Keep records of all of your donations and their values. Also keep all receipts for expenses incurred throughout the moving process. All of this information could qualify you for certain tax deductions. Check with the IRS or your accountant for details and eligibility.
Regardless of who packs (you or the movers), start collecting packing material as soon as possible. This includes cartons, wrapping paper, a marker, and sealing tape.
