By QE Transport | www.qetransport.co.za | 072 594 6966

Whether you’re moving across town or across the province, relocation comes with a list of expenses — and the last thing you need is unnecessary costs draining your budget. The good news? Moving doesn’t have to break the bank.

At QE Transport, we specialize in quick, easy, and cost-effective furniture removals, and in this post, we’re sharing expert insights into how you can save money during your move — without sacrificing safety or service quality.

🔍 1. Plan Ahead and Compare

One of the easiest ways to avoid high costs is by planning your move in advance. Last-minute bookings often result in premium charges due to availability issues or rushed service.

Tips:

Book at least 2–4 weeks in advance.

Ask for detailed quotes from reputable companies and compare not just price, but value (services offered, insurance, timing).

Be clear about what’s included in the price — avoid surprises.

🧠 2. Choose the Right-Sized Vehicle

Bigger isn’t always better. Paying for a large moving truck when you only need a small van means wasted space and money.

At QE Transport, we offer various vehicle sizes to suit your needs — ensuring you’re not overpaying for unused space.

Bonus tip: If you’re unsure what size you need, we’ll assess it for you — free of charge.

📦 3. Declutter Before You Move

Every item you move increases time, labor, and fuel costs. Moving things you no longer need is one of the biggest money-wasters.

Smart solution:

Donate, sell, or discard items that no longer serve you.

Host a garage sale or list unwanted items online — you might even make money before you move!

👷 4. Pack Like a Pro (or Let Us Help)

Poor packing leads to broken items, which leads to replacement costs. Plus, disorganized packing can lead to longer loading/unloading times.

Save costs by:

Using quality boxes and labels to organize clearly.

Wrapping fragile items properly to avoid damage.

Asking about our optional packing service if you need professional help.

📅 5. Move Mid-Month or Mid-Week

Peak moving days are typically weekends or month-end. This is when prices go up due to high demand.

Schedule smart:

Move between the 5th and 25th of the month.

Choose a weekday (Monday–Thursday) to benefit from off-peak discounts.

🤝 6. Use a Trusted, Transparent Moving Company

Hidden fees, surprise charges, and poor service can turn a “cheap” mover into a costly mistake. Always go with a trusted company that prioritizes honesty, care, and efficiency.

At QE Transport, we believe in:

Flat, honest pricing

No hidden fees

Fast, professional removals

Stress-free moving experiences
