That\u2019s where movers come in \u2013 they not only help you move, but can also help you dismantle bulky furniture, and even do all your packing. You don\u2019t have to lift a finger if you don\u2019t want to. Of course, there are additional costs for these services. Basic costs usually cover end-to-end moving (i.e. out of one house and into another), and generally start from $500 for an average-sized family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>#2: Terms to agree on with professional movers<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image3.jpg\" alt=\"Moving, Professional movers\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image3-940x627.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image3-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/mpr\/mpr\/p\/1\/005\/047\/14f\/0c87a44.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to go with the professionals, you\u2019ll want to know what they can do for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The common procedure is that they come by for a quick inspection before confirmation to assess how much stuff you have. This determines the official quote. Feel free to ask questions before you sign the contract. Do they have insurance? What does it cover? What if your piano gets damaged during the move? Read the T&amp;Cs and make sure details are spelled out clearly. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>#3: How to DIY the moving process<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image4.jpg\" alt=\"Moving, Professional Movers\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image4-940x705.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movoto-foundation\/Foundation+Articles\/2016\/02\/diy-moving-how-to-pack-like-professional-movers\/diy-moving-how-to-pack-like-professional-movers-3.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If dealing with professionals sounds like too much hassle, know that you can do it yourself. The trick is to break the process down into small, achievable goals. Don\u2019t attempt to pack and move everything all in the same day! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you figure out how many boxes you have, you can then gauge how many vans you\u2019ll need, and start testing your friends\u2019 loyalties by getting them to help you on moving day. If you need to rent a van or lorry, these start from $75 a day, and don\u2019t forget that you\u2019ll also have to pay for cardboard boxes, masking tape (to seal said boxes), and bubble wrap. Bearing in mind your petrol costs as well, you\u2019ll probably be spending $150 at the minimum if you choose to DIY the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>#4: Engaging the services of companies with a cause<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image5.jpg\" alt=\"Moving, Professional Movers\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image5.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image5-940x627.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/image5-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/55b26abfe4b044c29981da2a\/t\/561b2c8ae4b0beb416735efe\/1438890520733\/?format=1500w\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another alternative you may want to consider is moving companies that are nonprofits or Volunteer Welfare Organisations (VWOs).

Though they may not offer a full suite of services (so you\u2019ll need to do your own packing), they are often less pricey than commercial movers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is, there are so many options when it comes to moving, so you\u2019re sure to find one that works best for you.
