Buying cardboard boxes could be a infuriatingly large waste of money, for example, but you can usually amass enough boxes for free if you start collecting in advance. Proper packing materials (like styrofoam peanuts, wadded up newspaper, etc) can help reduce the number of things that get broken in the move, further reducing costs. A great source of free moving supplies is often people who have just moved in to town, if you can catch them before they discard their boxes and other stuff.	+ If you are not using a full-service moving company, it's best to plan ahead in order to save money on moving supplies.

- In describing your wishes, be as consistent as possible with each mover you talk to; this will make it easier to compare estimates. Be sure to tell the prospective movers about all of the goods you want moved, any special services you require and conditions affecting pick-up and delivery (e.g., stairs, narrow road). It is especially important to tell the movers everything about your new home that may affect your move. This ensures a more accurate estimate of cost, and reduces the chance of misunderstandings or unexpected charges on moving day.	+ In describing your move, be as consistent as possible with each mover you talk to; this will make it easier to compare estimates.
