in today's video we're diving into a
0:06
common question many people in Adelaide
0:08
have when planning a move what's cheaper
0:11
hiring a man with a van or opting for
0:13
full service
0:14
[Music]
0:16
movers the costs vary widely depending
0:18
on your situation and we'll break it
0:20
down so you can make the best choice for
0:22
your
0:24
move first let's talk about the man with
0:27
a van option
0:31
this service is perfect for those on a
0:32
tighter budget who don't mind getting
0:34
more hands on with their
0:37
move we caught up with Mike a local man
0:40
with a van service owner who explained
0:42
that his pricing starts at around $300
0:45
for a one-bedroom apartment
0:48
move that's a great deal for local
0:52
moves Mike also mentioned that he helps
0:55
with packing and loading a nice bonus if
0:57
you need extra assistance
1:00
[Music]
1:02
one of the big advantages of hiring a
1:03
man with a van is its
1:07
flexibility you can be more involved in
1:09
the move and save money by
1:13
working this can be a cost-effective and
1:15
straight forward solution for smaller
1:17
moves or those who don't have a lot of
1:21
stuff now let's shift gears and talk
1:24
about full service
1:27
movers we visited Sarah the man manager
1:30
of a full service moving company who
1:32
explained that their pricing can range
1:33
from $800 to
1:35
$1500 depending on the size of your move
1:38
and the services you
1:41
need full service movers handle
1:43
everything from packing your belongings
1:45
to loading them onto the truck
1:47
transporting them and even unpacking
1:49
them once you arrive at your new
1:53
home this is a fantastic option if you
1:55
have a busy schedule or don't want to
1:57
deal with the stress of moving
2:01
for larger moves or people with a lot of
2:03
stuff full service movers offer peace of
2:06
mind and a completely hands-off
2:08
[Music]
2:10
experience however that convenience
2:12
comes at a higher
2:15
price if you're trying to save money and
2:18
have the time to handle some of the work
2:19
yourself a man with a van is likely the
2:22
better
2:24
option but suppose you value convenience
2:27
and want everything taken care of
2:28
without lifting a finger
2:30
[Music]
2:32
in that case full service movers are
2:35
worth the extra
2:38
cost so let's break it
2:42
down if you're moving a one-bedroom
2:44
apartment hiring a man with a van might
2:47
cost you around $300 for the basics with
2:49
additional fees if you need help packing
2:51
or
2:54
loading on the other hand full service
2:56
movers could charge anywhere from $800
2:59
to $1
3:00
500 for the same move depending on the
3:02
services you
3:03
[Music]
3:05
choose hiring a man with a van can save
3:08
you a lot of money for smaller
3:18
[Music]
3:20
moves still full service movers may be
3:23
the best option for larger homes or
3:25
people who need everything handled
3:27
professionally
3:30
we also spoke to a few people who have
3:32
used both types of services and their
3:35
experiences were
3:38
interesting One customer who used a man
3:40
with a van loved the affordability and
3:42
simplicity of the service saying it was
3:44
perfect for their small local
3:48
move another customer who hired full
3:51
service movers said the higher cost was
3:53
worth it because they didn't have to
3:54
lift a
3:55
[Music]
3:56
finger the movers took care of
3:59
everything from start to
4:02
finish their experiences highlight that
4:04
it comes down to what you value most
4:06
saving money or having a stress-free
4:10
move there are also a few other things
4:13
to consider when making your
4:16
decision one major factor is
4:20
convenience if you work a full-time job
4:23
or have a busy Lifestyle the time you
4:25
save by hiring full service movers could
4:27
be worth the extra cost
4:32
but if you have more time and don't mind
4:33
packing up your stuff a man with a van
4:35
could be the better
4:38
fit another thing to think about is how
4:41
much stuff you
4:42
[Music]
4:43
have full service movers might be the
4:46
way to go if you're moving from a large
4:47
home with lots of furniture because they
4:49
have the resources to handle big
4:53
moves for smaller apartments or fewer
4:56
belongings a man with a van will likely
4:58
get the job done just
5:01
fine of course we can't forget about
5:04
hidden
5:05
[Music]
5:07
costs with a man with a van the pricing
5:10
might initially seem
5:13
simple still additional fees for packing
5:16
materials or making multiple trips could
5:20
exist conversely full service movers can
5:23
also have hidden costs like fuel fees or
5:26
extra charges for handling special items
5:31
it's always a good idea to ask upfront
5:33
about extra fees so you don't get
5:35
surprised on a moving
5:38
day choosing between a man with a van
5:41
and full service movers comes down to
5:42
your budget how much time you have and
5:45
how much effort you want to put into the
5:48
move if you're looking for the most
5:51
affordable option and don't mind being
5:52
more involved a man with a van is a
5:54
great
5:57
choice but suppose you want the conven
5:59
venience of having everything done for
6:01
you and are willing to pay
6:04
more in that case full service movers
6:07
are worth
6:09
considering so what's the final
6:14
verdict a man with a van is likely the
6:16
best bet if you're after affordability
6:18
and more hands-on
6:21
experience but if you want to
6:23
stress-free move and don't mind paying a
6:25
bit more for the convenience full
6:27
service movers are the way to go
