Maine Movers – The Main Things to Consider

Congratulations on your decision to move to Maine! As the north-eastern most state in the nation, Maine is somewhat geographically isolated from the rest of the country, a factor which can increase your moving costs if you’re moving from anywhere outside of New England. Maine is known for its extremely low winter temperatures and extremely pleasant summer climates which create notable peak seasons for Maine movers. There’s no question that if you move to Maine in the winter you’ll be able to enjoy reduced rates. But if you plan on moving to Maine during the summer you can still find a few ways to save. Here are some ways to reduce your moving costs while maximizing the efficiency of your move.

• Move during the middle of the week. Moving companies tend to be busier around the weekends and are often eager for business during the middle of the week. And, in fact, moving midweek can make it easy for you to get settled so that you’ll be able to use the upcoming weekend for familiarizing yourself with your new area.
• Sell your stuff. Although Maine might seem like a remote location, there are plenty of stores around, and even a Craig’s List through which you can purchase great used items at discounted prices. Why move bulky furniture and home décor items that you can easily replace? The benefits of selling your stuff are threefold. Firstly, you’ll save money because you won’t need to ship those large items. Secondly, you’ll be able to enjoy the process of redecorating. Thirdly, you may even make money on the deal if you can sell your items and buy cheaper ones in Maine.
• Donate things you can’t sell. If you didn’t have luck selling your old Christmas sweater or your crock pot, don’t panic. There are many places that will donate your unwanted items to charity in exchange for a tax deduction.
• Shop around. A great way to ensure that you’re not overpaying your Maine movers is to get multiple price quotes and compare them. It’s important to remember that not all Maine movers offer the same services, so if you need specialty services you should ask about these up front. It would be a shame to sign a moving contract only to find out that the moving company of your choice doesn’t offer the exact services that you need.
• Pack yourself. You can save hundreds of dollars by purchasing your own packing materials and packing your own clothing, books and kitchen utensils. Leave the fragile items for the professional movers, and you pack the rest. If the work is difficult or exhausting (which it probably will be), you can always use some of the money that you’ve saved on your Maine movers to get a massage or treat yourself to dinner at your favorite restaurant.
• Don’t overestimate the benefits of do it yourself moving. Do it yourself moving requires time and energy that many people don’t have. Consider how much it will cost you to take off from work for several days (which is probably how long it will take for you to pack up, drive, and unpack in your new home). There are times when the cheapest option doesn’t always work out to be the most cost-efficient, and do it yourself moving may be one of those times.
