As all adult humans know… moving can be quite stressful, daunting, and expensive. It's very common for Eastbourne homeowners to look for the cheapest removal company in Eastbourne, but it's very important to conduct this search without compromising on quality! After all, these are your personal belongings.

Compare Quotes Beyond Just Pricing

As with any type of home service, we always recommend getting 3 quotations from local providers (that's usually how you'll get the best prices). Once you've received them, look through them all for hidden fees like stairs, waiting times, extra packing fees, etc.

An honest local company won't include extras that aren't mentioned throughout previous communications. An unexpected fee could be a sign that you'll get overcharged further down the line (even if their initial price is lower).

Keep It Local

Local companies will have fewer overheads when dealing with your move. They know the area, all the local rules & regulations, and have a team nearby at all times. Large regional or national companies often have offices, crazy insurance policies, and other overheads which inflate the price without adding any value. You should also experience better lead times with local businesses, seeing as they're not trying to tie you in with other routes. At Plug Moves, we pride ourselves on being a local removals provider.

Move At The Right Time

Most companies won't reveal this, but avoiding weekends and end-of-months dates can save you a lot of money. Aim to book for midweek dates or off peak, you could often save up to 20%.

Take On The Packing

If you pack everything yourself, labour times are significantly decreased, and you can save a good amount from the total price.  Most companies (ours included) can supply boxes for you to pack with (provided at cost).

Declutter The Home Before You Move

The less we move, the less you pay. If you choose to donate, sell or dispose of unwanted items before the move, you'll save on boxes and/or packing labour and total amount of to move. It's a great time to finally get rid of unneeded belongings that just take up extra space.

Ask About Insurance + Reviews

Don't go for the cheapest overall quote without checking the company or individual's insurance credentials. A cheap and uninsured person is an instant red flag. Companies like ours have dozens of 5-star reviews and extensive insurance policies which keep all parties covered in case anything happens.
