Moving Hacks: Moving in with Your Sweetheart

So you’ve found your special someone and are ready to move in with them – congratulations! Love is a wonderful thing, and we’re all in favor of it. Before you start packing, you’ll want to take a moment and read these moving hacks that will save you time and money:

Learn About Neighborhood Moves

If you’re just starting out, don’t have a lot of stuff, and are moving in with a sweetheart who lives in your  neighborhood, you’ll want to know about mini-shleps. These economy moves are priced to save you money!

Schedule Smart

If you’re moving more than the bare essentials, the odds are good you’re going to need NYC apartment movers. Most moves happen during the first and last week of the month because of rental agreement terms – but if you’re moving into their place, or they’re moving into yours, you have a little more flexibility. Scheduling your move in the middle of the month can save you money.

Do a Joint Inventory before the Packing Starts

Do you need two blenders? Two coffee makers? Two laundry drying racks? The answer’s probably no, and in small NYC apartments, there’s not enough room to keep duplicate everything. Talk with your sweetie, consider what you each have, and downsize accordingly. The less stuff you have to move, the less you’ll pay for moving services.
