Share With Friends
Splitting a move with friends can be a good way to keep costs low - especially if you’re going to and from the same place.
Rather than assuming the cost of a professional move alone, you can split the cost between a couple of friends so that everyone pays less. This can be an affordable way to move out of uni without paying through the roof.
DIY Move
Handling your own move can keep costs down, but it may not be the best idea. If you have access to a vehicle of your own or choose to hire a man with a van, you might be able to keep moving prices down, but it may not be worth the hassle.
Hiring professional movers is not only more efficient but also a lot safer, whereas doing a DIY move could lead to injury or damage to your items.
Unless you know what you’re doing, you should probably leave the heavy lifting to the professionals. They have the training and equipment to handle your items safely.
Short-Term Storage
If you’re only going home for the holidays, you may not need to move all of your stuff home with you. Save the moving fees and explore short-term storage options, such as summer storage for students, instead. Rather than pay to move your stuff home only to have to move it back again, you can keep your items safe in off-site storage until you need them again.
At The Box Co., we provide flexible, affordable student storage starting from just 79p per storage box, per week. This could be a great option to save money on moving costs while ensuring your items are kept safe and sound until you need them again.
Tips To Save Money When Moving Your Stuff Out Of Uni
If you’re looking to move your stuff out of uni without a hefty price tag, here are some of our top tips.
Book In Advance
Booking a move in advance can help you keep costs down. The further in advance you book, the more availability you’re likely to have - as well as the best prices. It’s not impossible to book a move on short notice, but it might give you fewer options and make things more expensive.
If you’ve left things late, don’t worry. Contact our team at The Box Co. We’ll always try to see what we can do.
Declutter Before The Move
Sometimes, taking the time to do a big clear-out can help you keep moving costs down. The greater the volume of items you need to move, the more expensive it will be.
If you’re able to donate, sell or throw out items that you no longer need, you’ll have less clutter and lower moving costs.
Use What You Have
In addition to proper packaging materials for moving, you can also use what you already have to keep items protected during the move, such as wrapping fragile items in thick jumpers or bedding.
Share With Friends
Coordinate with your uni friends to see if you can share the costs of moving - especially if they’re from the same local area. Splitting the costs of moving between 2 or 3 of you, instead of paying for it all by yourself, can make a big difference.
Explore Alternatives To Moving
If you’re only moving out of uni temporarily, you may not need to do a full move. You can keep costs low by looking at low-cost storage by-the-box, which means you’ll only pay for the number of boxes you store - rather than an entire storage unit.
This may not be an option if you’re moving back for good, but for between term times, it can be a way to avoid hefty price tags. For affordable short-term storage, get in touch today!
