Moving does not only involve emotional and physical stress, but also financial stress. Here are some tips on how to save when you move long distance:
 
Being resourceful is your way to save money when you move. Use other alternative materials for your packing materials. However, be sure that your alternative resources will be able to do the same purpose as the original packing materials.
 
Instead of using pricey pad breakables, you can use tissue papers or unused newsprint. This is a big savings in your budget.
 
Do some window shopping ahead of time and compare prices. Check out the best deal on packing tape and other packing materials and supplies.
 
Instead of renting padded blankets, you can use your own blankets for padding purposes.

There are many long distance movers out there, so take time to choose the best moving company that caters your needs.
 
When looking for a long distance moving company do not be shy to negotiate or asks for discounts. You also need to be sure that their budget package or whatever package you will be getting from them does not include any hidden charges.
 
These are just some of the tips that you can apply when you move. You will be surprised on how much will save when you apply these simple tips.
