Whether you are moving to PHX or simply looking for moving companies in Tucson, it is best to get professional movers to help manage your move, especially if it's a major one.
Personally, I have never engaged the service of professional movers. I've always been under the impression that they are plain costly and unnecessary. And I'm referring to the all-inclusive service of having movers come over to my home to assess and insure my items, pack my belongings into boxes, seal and load the boxes into a UHaul truck before delivering them to my new location, safe and sound.
If you look hard enough however, you will find many movers out there that not only get your neatly-packed belongings to your new home safely but also ensure you with savings when you move. And these are the type of movers I would like to engage.
Before you decide on just any moving company, here are some tips to help you and me SAVE on our next move.
* Get price quotations or estimates from several different companies. Prices vary from one company to the next so look hard and look smart for savings.
* When sorting out things to pack, don't cling on to items you simply have no use for. Use the general 2-yr rule; if you have not used an item for 2 years, you may never use it. Leave those items behind.
* Have a garage sale to get rid of unwanted but saleable items. You can use the cash received to help finance your move.
Last but not least...relax! Do not panic unnecessarily and start your moving budget and checklist early so you won't be flustered should things get a little crazy. Moving is tiring; it costs money and it can be overwhelming. But imagine the relief and pleasure you'll enjoy when the move is over and the unpacking done. All's left to do is bask in the comfort and warmth of your brand new home as you begin another exciting adventure in your new location!

Great tips that I agree with as we both have moved around a lot before. In fact, I know I will be doing so again and maybe within the next year, too.

Moving to a new house is always a joy right? :p
Hello Marzie... Happy Monday! :) ;) :)
We always get a month of body pain everytime we move because we do it on our own instead of hiring a movers. This time we learn from that experiences and we will definitely get a movers if ever we move again, thanksfor the tips ms. M :*
Hey Marzie! :)
Yay to more kaching from PB's! :)
Great tips Marzie! :) Certainly something that will help a lot of people.. :)
When I moved in with B, it was such a nightmare! The 2 year rule is indeed a great tip I could have used that then, it would have saved me a lot of space.. :-P
No MM yet Marzie? *DONT_KNOW*
I can't wait for your MM Marzie!:) I just know it will be awesome.. :-D
I'm not very fond of engaging the service of pro movers too. hiring movers is always very expensive and i don't think i can afford it.
i don't like moving house. it is never fun and easy and the job of packing is a big headache.
Happy Monday! :)
Thanks for the tips Marzie.. But i totally hate moving.. Ugh! But since I don't have much things I can't quite use the 2-yr rule la.. Sayang.. :-P
Lets see what do i want to do movie to PHX or Tucson. I think i will stay in Mesa i have been to both PHX and Tucson LOL. I agree though these are great tips Marzie :*.
Hi Marzie!
I hate packing and moving! Argh. I wish somehow I can skip all the tiresome works and just wake up in the new place with everything in tack. Haha
