Our goal is always to provide the right services that will help you at the best possible price. We’ve put together this list of ways to save on moving costs that can help you as you plan your next move.

• Search for Seasonal Rates - Most moving companies experience a busy season in the warmer months, especially as families choose to move between school years. If you’re able to move during a slower time of year, you may be able to cash in on lower rates. Call local movers and see if there’s a difference in their moving costs based on the time of year that you schedule your move.
• Save on Supplies - Many people underestimate the moving costs of packing materials; but it can also hurt you to not have adequate boxes or supplies. Moving items in bags or failing to use adequate packing materials can mean broken, chipped, or damaged items arriving in your new home. However, you can usually find sturdy boxes from local retailers and grocers. Use additional tape to secure each box, and make sure they’re in good condition.
• Choose the Right Services - Managing your moving costs effectively means balancing the services you need in order to get your move done safely and help your family stay comfortable. University Moving and Storage offers packing, unpacking, furniture assembly and disassembly, debris removal, and more, all to help you save time and effort as you relocate your home. You might choose a more DIY route, and let University just help with larger furniture items, or move some boxes on your own. Whatever you choose, University is here to help.
