8 Things Your Movers Don't Want You To Know - #3

Save Money By Disassembling Furniture Yourself

Another thing to keep in mind when paying movers by the hour is that they’ll need to disassemble and reassemble anything that’s too big to get out the door. That can take a lot of time – if you have a big bunk bed, for instance, you could be looking at up to 45 minutes on each end.

The general rule is that if they take it apart they have to put it back together. Maybe you want to take it apart yourself and save money.

As with all transactions, it comes down to how much you value your time. If spending hours taking apart your bed and then putting it back together is worth the money you’ll save, by all means break out the toolbox.
