Are There Affordable Packing Companies?

And I’m not talking about recruiting your family.

No, I’m talking about people who know how to pack boxes harder than Mike Tyson packs a punch.

In this article, we will discuss five ways you can find a cheap packing company:

Get it included in your flat rate – If you get a flat rate moving company, see if they’ll pack your boxes and do everything else for a good rate.
Search the classifieds – Independent contractors can be found online and often offer very reasonable rates… out of desperation. Be nice and tip a bit.
Provide help – If you pack the knickknacks and provide the moving supplies, there will be less work to be done and more money in your pocket.
Sell stuff – They won’t have to pack it if you don’t have it.
Research, research, research – Don’t just settle on the first packing company you find. Check around, and find some online reviews.
