Ship your belongings.

You can also try shipping larger items individually by finding a service provider on uShip.com.

Enlist friends to help.
Mayflower Moving Company in Eastbury Of course, having friends and family help with the move instead of professional movers will certainly save you plenty of money.

Take advantage of military discounts.
If you are a current or former member of the military, you could be eligible to receive a handful of military moving discounts on everything from professional movers and moving containers to truck rentals and storage services.

Purge your household.
Take the sage advice of Mari Kondo and get rid of your excess belongings. The more stuff you must transport the bigger the truck you will need and the longer the packing and the loading will take (movers charge per hour, among other fees and charges). And, if you’re moving out-of-state or long distance, the move’s cost will be determined by the weight of your things. Plus, you can donate your stuff for a tax break and make a few bucks by having a moving sale. Whether you keep, donate or sell, don’t hold back. And keep the receipts if you donate for tax deductions.
