People like to keep a lot of stuff. We have a tendency to think that, "I may need that in the future," which may or may not happen. Hence, all these "seemingly useful" things will pile up inside of our homes with our hopes of one day being able to actually use them for something.
Now, when we are about to relocate, the more stuff we ship to our new home, the higher the costs for shipment. So about those things that you plan to use one day, they're going to add to the total weight and cost of the delivery.
Here are tips from Golan's Moving and Storage to help you lower down costs for your next move (and maybe help you dispose of those items).

GOLAN'S MOVING AND STORAGE HELPS YOU LOWER DOWN MOVING COSTS
Hold a garage or yard sale
Take out all those items that you've been keeping inside your garage and justify IF you are going to use them again. If not, then hold a garage or yard sale for them. Tell your friends, your families, and the people you don't know but are somehow in your Facebook friend list. The extra cash that you will get from the sale will help you for covering moving costs and ultimately lessen the total weight of your items during shipment.
Check for discounts
Moving companies have certain offers, specials, and promotions that will allow you to lessen the costs of relocating. For example, Golan's Moving and Storage has an offer in which if you use their boxes that were recently used by another customer, then the costs for their services will drop to a certain degree. In other words, search for discounts, save up on cash.
Get a storage space
If you still can't let go of some stuff but moving costs already hurt you a lot, you can place the boxes with these items in a storage facility. Take Golan's Movers as a prime example; they have storage services as well as their expert packing and moving assistance. Should you need such aid, why not give them a call?
Buy less
The ultimate way to reduce the weight of your stuff is to actually control your purchases. In other words, buy less stuff. This may sound a bit obnoxious but it is very effective. If you see that all-in-one potato and fruit peeler that can somehow print documents at the store, think about it first. Do you really need that or will it just be a big waste of your money? Not to mention it can add up to the weight of your items when you move.
