Want to move to save money? You might as well use these three methods

The first measure: reducing the burden of moving luggage

Anyone who has moved or consulted a moving company knows that the number of moving items determines which moving models you want to choose. The starting cost of moving depends on the size of the model you choose, that is, the volume of the items and the cost of moving are directly proportional.

1. Something to throw away.

Expired products: expired drugs, cosmetics samples, food, expired coupons, leaflets;

Disposable products: disposable tableware, straws, wipes and packing boxes brought back by the hotel; Disposable shoe covers, bath caps and tea bags brought back by the hotel; Disposable lunch box, packing bag, etc.

Inferior products: inferior towels, gift samples; Socks, clothes and shoes worn several times;

Unfamiliar articles: unfit shoes, unfit clothes, unfit people;

Old items: moldy chopsticks, broken dishes, rusty tableware or kitchen utensils; The useless books, post it notes and refills in the study have no water; Silk stockings in the bedroom, worn-out belts and deformed underwear.

2. What to send.

Things that can reproduce value: clean but rarely worn clothes, extra quilts, etc. It can be put into the donation box, which is very valuable for people in need; Children's toys and trolleys, test books and CDS can be given to friends in need;

Idle items: items you really don't need or items you plan to buy again in your new home can be given to others.

3. Transfer to the second-hand market.

Second hand appliances and home appliances suggest going to the second-hand market. It's not cost-effective to take them away when moving, unless they are very close to each other. One month in advance, the second-hand market will be closed. Try to trade in the same city, with security guaranteed.

The second measure: you can choose a variety of ways to move to match.

Compared with express, taxi, subway and other ways of moving, the advantages of moving companies are reassuring, but the disadvantages are more expensive. Then, in order to save moving freight and labor costs, you can try a variety of moving ways to match.

1. Take up space, but send light goods by express.

Clothes, quilts, pillows, bits and pieces and other items are characterized by more than a dozen bags, occupying space, but not so heavy that they can't be lifted. The express company charges by weight, which is very suitable for delivering this kind of goods. The first weight in the same city ranges from 4 to 10 yuan, generally not much money.

2. Carry valuables and electronic products with you.

Notebook, cosmetics, electronic products and other valuables. You can pack your own luggage, or take a taxi or subway.

3. Search for a handling company for bulky, bulky or fragile valuables.

Refrigerators, air conditioners, sofas, beds, wardrobes, kitchen dishes, water cups, glassware, pianos and other furniture, electrical appliances and other valuable and fragile items, if they can not be completely moved, they can only find the moving company, so as not to break them, the gain is not worth the loss.

The third measure is to pack in advance to save labor and materials.

In addition to transportation costs, there are labor costs and material costs of the moving company.

Save labor cost: if the labor cost of the moving company is charged according to the time, the longer the packing time, the higher the cost. So bedroom, study, living room, kitchen, bathroom clothes, quilts, books, fragmentary items can be packed in advance. Just remember to mark the cartons and bags for sorting.

Saving material cost: the cartons and packaging materials provided by the moving company generally need to be charged separately. Some express boxes can be stored before moving. It is considered that art knives, scissors, tape and markers are necessary at home and can be delivered to other places when packing.

Recommended packaging artifact: transparent storage box (with roller), compressed storage bag, foldable trolley.
