Moving? (Isn’t Everybody?) A Way to Not Just Save Money but Make Money When Moving

Hurry! A Candy’sDirt moving exclusive: Get $50 Cash Back on Your Move with Unpakt

I swear I envisioned this company in a dream. What if, I said, the next time we move I don’t have to ring up three or four moving companies, walk through my house with them, get bids and go crazy trying to compare one company’s apples with another’s oranges?

Then I heard from the folks at Unpakt.com and voila, my dream came true. Like an Expedia.com for movers, you get instant prices and can compare movers online, at home, glass of wine nearby, by going to the Unpakt web site.

Traditionally, finding a reasonable price for the lifting, packing and transporting all of your worldly possessions from one home to another was aggravating, to say the least. Almost as aggravating as moving itself, which is right up there on the stress charts. Like I said, repeat your inventory over and over… and over again, to one company at a time. Walk through the house OMG did I forget to tell yesterday’s mover about grandmother’s china?

Once you choose a mover, you may or may not wind up forking over extra money in hidden fees, surcharges, etc. or just to cover whatever you forgot to show.

Cue Unpakt.com, a price comparison moving site that helps ease the pain of finding a trustworthy (and affordable) mover. Unpakt streamlines the entire process into — I hope you are sitting down — less than one hour. Other states have had this privilege, now Texans get the ability to compare local moving companies side-by-side – instantly.

Now available in Dallas, Houston and Austin, Unpakt.com does all the math and work for you. You simply enter the size of your home, address of where you’re moving and all what furniture you have. Don’t worry, they help you figure it out.

Then, and here’s the dream part: you’re given exact prices for your move from a handful of reputable local companies. You can compare their prices and user reviews and, once you’ve found your mover, book directly through the site.

While Unpakt can’t find you that perfect pad, they’ll make moving into it a piece of cake.
