5 Tips to Save on Moving Costs
1. Reduce Your Items
Dispose of unwanted items before moving. We also offer disposal service — send photos via LINE for a quote.
2. Avoid Peak Season
March–April is the most expensive. Move after mid-April if possible.
Mid-month is usually cheaper than month-end.
3. Choose a Weekday
Weekdays tend to be cheaper and easier to book.

Our plans are based on pre-packed items. Pack all small items in cardboard boxes.
You can get free boxes from supermarkets or drugstores.
5. Use a Local Mover for Short Distances
