Q: What day is cheapest to hire movers?
A: The cost of hiring movers can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the time of year, the day of the week, and the specific services requested. In general, weekends and peak moving seasons (typically summer months) tend to be more expensive than weekdays and off-peak seasons.
Based on this, hiring movers on a weekday is generally cheaper than hiring them on a weekend. Additionally, scheduling your move during the off-peak season (fall or winter) may also help you save money.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that the availability of moving companies may also vary depending on the day of the week and the time of year. So, it’s always a good idea to contact us to inquire about our availability for your desired moving date.
Q: What is the cheapest way to move furniture?
A: The cheapest way to move furniture can vary depending on the distance of the move, the amount of furniture being moved, and the resources available. Here are some tips to help you save money on moving furniture:
- Sell or donate unwanted furniture: If you have furniture that you no longer need or use, consider selling or donating it to reduce the amount of furniture you need to move.
- Rent a truck or trailer: If you’re moving locally, renting a truck or trailer can be a cost-effective option for transporting your furniture. You can save money by doing the packing yourself and only paying for the rental and fuel costs. A truck rental in Albuquerque is typically $90 per day with fees (mileage, insurance, and fuel) included.
- Hire labor-only movers: If you’re comfortable driving the truck or trailer, you can save money by hiring our labor-only movers to load and unload your furniture. This way, you only pay for the labor and not the truck rental or mileage.
- Use portable storage containers: Portable storage containers are a convenient and affordable way to move your furniture. The company delivers the container to your home, you load it with your furniture, and they transport it to your new location.
- Ask friends and family for help: If you have friends or family members who are willing to help you move, you can save money on labor costs by doing the packing and loading yourself and only paying for transportation costs.
