ST. PETE MOVING SERVICES

​Movers can provide a flat or hourly rate.
1. If the cost of your move is out of your budget. Reduce your load. Get rid of items you really don't need. Hold a garage sale, leave books with friends, the local library or sell them to a used bookstore. Anything you can't sell, give to a local charity. Weight and volume equals money. The less weight and less volume, the less money. 

2. Move during the off-season. Choosing the best time to move can save you money. Off-season is usually anything but June or July and any time either than the first and last of the month. If you have the flexibility, talk to your moving consultant and see if they can give you a deal. (Applies mostly to all moving companies)

3. Book movers early. The sooner you book your mover, the less likely you are to be charged a higher rate. If you're moving last minute and have to book movers within a couple of weeks of moving, chances are they may charge you more money if they are fully reserved. This isn't always the case, but the golden rule is always book early if you can.

4. Be flexible on the time that the movers pick up your stuff and when they deliver it. If you're willing to work within their time frame, ask them if they will give you a price break in exchange. To help you decide your moving time frame, it's a good idea to determine your move in and move out date - essential information to know before you book your mover. In some cases you can reserve without knowing the delivery location. Speak to your consultant. Contact us and we will discuss this option.

MOVING INDUSTRY TIPS
​5. Moving companies offer varying services and will charge for each service. Ask about possible charges that could arise during your move and the fees attached to these services. Services may include material charges, expedited service charge, flight charge, long-haul charges, long carry charges and shuttle service. They can usually all be avoided or at least calculated into the cost if you plan in advance. There should never be any, or very little, surprise in the total cost of your move. However it is important to review the credibility of the company you select to avoid moving with a company that will increase your cost for no valid or legitimate reason once they have loaded your shipment. Avoid a company that has a C to F rating on BBB and a lot of online complaints. If a company has a red flag on the BBB, that's exactly what it is! 

6. Make sure that you can move into your new property at the time you have indicated to your movers and that you have payment ready for when the truck arrives. Both could result in storage-in-transit fees if your things have to be stored until they can be unloaded and after the move is paid in full. (Applies with mostly all companies if they disclose this information or not.)

7. Ask about moving larger items or specialty items. Snowmobiles, boats, cars, motorcycles and other recreational vehicles will cost extra to move. Also inform the moving consultant if you have glass, mirrored or marble items. ( These items also increase the cost of your move due to more material that will be used to protect the item.

8. Moving pianos. Ask the mover how much they charge and if they are able to move a piano. After you have a quote, call around and find other options. Specialty movers may actually be less expensive than if your moving company hired additional staff. Most moving companies don't keep specialty movers on the payroll. Pianos charges are normally $450.00+ to move a Baby Grand.  $250.00+ to move upright piano's. We use special devices and can handle a piano move professionally.

9. Appliances sometimes require special packing and handling to ensure they arrive still working. Your moving company may charge extra for this service. Ask first. If they do charge, it will be normally a bulky item or handling charge.

10. Make sure you're ready to move. Moving companies may charge extra if they have to help pack/box last minute items. Pack it yourself and have everything ready to go. If you have furniture that needs to be disassembled, ask the moving company when they provide the estimate if this service is included. Sometimes it is and other times it shows up on your bill as an extra fee.
Moving Materials
Uhaul, Home Depot and Lowes are some great places to buy boxes and moving supplies.
