Well there is nothing new in this. This is human nature to negotiate. There is no shame in asking your mover to lower their price. Ask them and convince them for the same. If the mover agrees to lower their price, yayy! You have saved few dollars. Negotiating is not something to be ashamed of. If you think the mover or the moving company is charging too much, you can always ask for lowering the price.

  • Plan your move during the off-season

This is one of the easiest ways of cutting costs during the move. Moving during the off season is a very nice technique of saving some extra dollars. There is the possibility that moving out during off-season will save a good 20% of your moving price or sometimes even more. Movers are also free during the off season so this is another good reason to move during the off season.

  • Set a moving budget prior move

You can save the moving costs to a great extent if you personally sit down and prepare a kind of moving plan with budget as a way to manage your expenses during the entire move. Prepare a moving cost checklist that involves all the moving company expenses or the self-moving expenses.

  • Get as many free boxes as possible

If you think moving boxes are cheap, you are not so right. Before you start packing, try to find as many free moving boxes as possible. Seek out for moving supplies from various nearby stores, relatives and friends. Free boxes can save hundreds of dollars of your moving expenses. Also check out local liquor stores, big box chains, offices, grocery stores, and schools. And you can also ask your friends because sometimes there are so many boxes lying in someone’s place and you can put them to a good use.

  • Sell the unwanted items

Always try to get rid of all the unnecessary items by selling them. Moving is already expensive and while you are looking for ways to save on moving costs, you can implement this technique. Sell those items which you don’t want to carry along to your new place and get some cash that will help you during the moving process.

Having said that, being in this industry for a while, we thought we would like to highlight some of the important trends that play a vital role in expanding the moving industry. Here are the statistics of commercial moving industry that would be of interest to you all.

A Great Many Number of Companies

If the official figures from the American Moving & Storage Association are to be believed, then there is a total of over 7000 companies in the U.S. alone. This confirms the fact that the numbers are higher than expected, and moving inside the States is something that happens very commonly. The very existence of these many companies is synonymous of the movement of people in and around the country which gives the large picture of number of moves happening each day in and out of United States.

Companies mainly include small businesses

We have seen the official figures in the United States with respect to the number of companies. It can be easily deduced that there are a lot of small businesses around the United States that are working in the Commercial Movers industry. If we have to be more precise about the workforce in these organizations, close to 50% of them only have about 3-5 people working in them. However having smaller workforce means limited support and lesser expertise. FitzGerald has specialized team for library moves, laboratory moves, hotel moves, restaurant moves and many such personalized move services.

Growth rate

We have seen the impact that the moving industry is making right now, the amount of workforce that is employed and the market valuation as well. There is another specific factor that needs to be taken into account, which is the total growth rate of the industry. There have been certain sectors that have faced notable setbacks, but surprisingly the moving industry has fared better than any other sector. There has been a steady growth of 3% every year with the increase in the number of industries and the movement of companies and employees
