"Boost Your Household Skills: A Comprehensive Guide to Minimizing Moving Costs for a More Relaxed New Life♡"

Moving to a New Home with Him ♡ What Do You Want to Know Beforehand?

Hello brides planning to move to a new home with your partner ♩

Once you've decided on your new home, the next step is to start preparing for the move ◎

When moving, I think the first step is to choose a "moving company"＊

Speaking of moving companies, there are various options like Art Moving Center, Sakai Moving, Nippon Express, and the Ant Mark Moving Company, which can be quite overwhelming...!

However, with wedding expenses and honeymoon costs, starting a new life can be costly. You want to compare different companies to keep the costs as low as possible◎

Therefore, this time, I will thoroughly explain the tips to lower moving costs♡

Even if you're moving the same items to the same place, the costs can vary greatly depending on the timing and company. Make sure you don't realize later, "I should have gone with that one, it seemed cheaper!"

【Introduction】 When is the Best Time for Cheap Moving?

First, before choosing a moving company, let’s think about the timing of your move＊

Moving costs can fluctuate by tens of thousands of yen depending on the month.

So when is the cheapest and when is it more expensive?

《Expensive Months》

☑ March, April, August, September

➡ More people tend to move due to school enrollments and job relocations

《Cheap Months》

☑ January, February, May, June, July, October, November, December

➡ Fewer people moving during these months

《Expensive Days》

☑ Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and the days before and after these

➡ Many people tend to move during their holidays

《Cheap Days》

☑ Weekdays that are not the days before or after weekends and holidays

➡ Fewer people are moving during these days

Therefore, if you want to move inexpensively, it is recommended to choose 【weekdays except the days before and after weekends and holidays in January, February, May, June, July, October, November, or December】.

Once you know the cheap days for moving, the next step is to share tips on choosing a moving company＊

Tips for Finding a Cheap Moving Company ① Use Moving Comparison Websites

To find a cheap moving company, it is highly recommended to use a comparison website.

Trying to individually contact dozens or hundreds of moving companies to get quotes is quite a hassle.

By using a comparison website, you can enter your conditions once and receive estimates from multiple companies at once, making it easier to find a company with favorable terms♡

Tips for Finding a Cheap Moving Company ② Get Estimates When You Have Time

When requesting estimates from a moving comparison website, it's best to do it when you have time and can answer the phone.

After requesting estimates, you'll receive calls and emails from various moving companies based on the information you provided.

It's advisable to get estimates when you have time to thoroughly listen to what each company has to say. Having a pen and notepad ready is even better ♩

It’s more convenient to negotiate and specify details over the phone rather than through email, but if you're really short on time, you can say, "Please contact me only by email" at the time of the comparison request.

Tips for Finding a Cheap Moving Company ③ Don't Decide on the First Moving Company You Contact

When a moving company contacts you, they might say, "If you decide on this call, I can offer you this price!"

However, no matter how good the conditions seem, making an impulsive decision is a no-go!

Take note of their offer, but negotiate with other companies by saying, "Company A gave me this condition for this price, can you offer me a better deal?"

Just like when buying electronics, getting estimates from various companies helps you move at a fairer price.

Tips for Finding a Cheap Moving Company ④ Get an In-Person Estimate

After obtaining estimates from multiple moving companies, narrow it down to about 2-4 companies and request in-person estimates◎

Have them come to your home to see how much stuff you have and provide an accurate quote＊

Schedule the visits every 30 minutes apart on available dates◎

You might say, "I need to have other moving companies visit as well, so can we schedule for [date and time]?" This can prompt the moving companies to offer lower prices, knowing they are competing.

By scheduling multiple in-home estimates on the same day, you won't have to spend extra time and could potentially save money, so it's recommended ♩

Tips for Finding a Cheap Moving Company ⑤ Check All Conditions Before Deciding

The last tip is to confirm all conditions thoroughly before making a decision＊

Once you place an order, you cannot change the details later, so be very careful. Make sure to check all specifics.

For instance, additional charges may apply for "boxes," "hanging garment cases," "bubble wrap," and "washing machine installation."

It's essential to understand and consider all conditions and the costs of any additional options before finalizing your choice of moving company!
