With the cost of living putting pressure on just about every household budget, it's no surprise that moving costs are front of mind for a lot of Sydneysiders planning a move at the moment. The good news is that a professional move doesn't have to be expensive. A few simple choices can significantly reduce your total cost without cutting corners on the parts of the move that actually benefit from professional help.
Here are three practical ways to save on your next move with Men That Move.
Many removalists charge more for weekend bookings simply because Saturdays are in high demand. Men That Move offers one flat rate Monday through Saturday, so choosing the most convenient day for your household doesn't incur a price penalty.
- Saturday is our busiest day, so book as soon as your moving date is confirmed
- Flat pricing means no surprise weekend loading on your quote
- Flexible on dates? A weekday or Friday booking often has more availability at short notice
You don't need to book a full-service move if you're happy to handle some of the packing and moving yourself. Booking a removalist for large, heavy furniture only — beds, couches, wardrobes, appliances — and moving smaller items yourself can meaningfully reduce the time (and cost) of your move.
- Move luggage, pot plants, and smaller boxes yourself ahead of time
- Leave the big, heavy, awkward items to the professionals
- Let your removalist know it's a big-items-only job, so your quote reflects it
Packing materials are a hidden cost that catches a lot of people out. Rather than buying boxes at the hardware store or spending time collecting second-hand ones, Men That Move offers two weeks of free box rental for local Sydney moves, with delivery and collection included across many Sydney metro suburbs.
- No cost for boxes, and no clutter left over afterward
- Boxes delivered to you, then collected once you're unpacked
- One less thing to organise in the lead-up to moving day
A tighter budget doesn't mean you have to compromise on a smooth, professional move. Whether it's choosing the right day, the right level of service, or the right packing approach, there are practical ways to lower your move costs without the stress of doing it all yourself.
