I have been working in moving industry since mover a decade now and I know the industry inside out. Today in this post, I am sharing a few of the quick and simple negotiation tips that’ll help you in negotiating with the moving companies the right way.

So, are you ready to explore those negotiations tips and hacks?
I hear you saying yes, so let’s dive in.

Know the process

The reason people fail to negotiate with the movers and packers companies the right way is because of the lack of knowledge about the process and how it works. When you know the process well and what the moving companies do, you’ll be able to negotiate correctly.

So when possible, learn about the process, what moving companies, how do they do the packing, different types of packing materials they use, safety standards they follow etc Read everything coming your way.

Talk to multiple movers

When you have the multiple options on the table, you get the more power to negotiate. So instead of just getting ahead with the first
mover and packer company coming your way, you should reach out to two or three or even four different moving companies.

Take quotations from them and then try to negotiate with them. Since you have multiple options, it’ll be much easier for you to crack the better deal with one of them.

Remain flexible

As far as moving dates are concerned, if you remain a little flexible with the moving date, you may be able to bargain for a better deal. Usually the
movers are well occupied on public holidays and weekends. If you give them the flexibility of multiple moving dates, even other than holidays, they may offer some discount.

Similarly, when you can offer some flexibility with the packing, as packing takes a lot of effort and it can be expensive. If you have the original packages of the home and kitchen appliances, you can save on packing costs, and the mover may offer some additional discount in such case.
