(NAPSA)—Cutting the costs ofmoving can be a smart way formillions of Americans to savemoney each year. But experts saynot to assume that doing a moveyourself is always the least expen-sive way to go. Do-it-yourself movers often

face “forgotten” costs, such as fur-niture padding, carpet and floorprotection materials, and insur-ance for their belongings andtruck. Additionally, there’s thetime and expense of disassem-bling and reassembling furniture,as well as the risk of injury toyourself and your helpers. The good news is that people

can often hire a reputable, profes-sional moving company—completewith expert movers and protectionagainst loss—for about the samecost as moving themselves. AlliedVan Lines offers these tips to helpyou plan “Money Smart Moves”:• Get advice. When you hire

a professional moving company, besure to ask for its advice on devel-oping a budget and then savingmoney on things such as packing,shuttle service, short- and long-term storage, and optimal times tomove.• Get rid of stuff. Reduce

your moving load and make a lit-tle extra cash by holding a garageor yard sale or running a silentauction with friends and family.

• Be creative. Use shippingservices such as UPS to sendahead heavier nonfragile itemssuch as books, CDs, DVDs, andVHS tapes.• Ask for guaranteed pric-

ing. Request that your movingcompany lock in a price on theestimated weight of your ship-ment. Just be sure to sell or giveaway unused, unwanted or heav-ier items before the company vis-its your home so it can accuratelyestimate the weight.• Save by moving during an

off-peak time, such as a Tuesdayin the middle of the month. You canlock in even deeper discounts if youmove during the winter months.For more money-saving tips,
