Moving to Jacksonville on a Budget

Now that you've decided to move to Jacksonville, you're ready to organize all relocation-related tasks like finding reliable Jacksonville relocation services, packing supplies, and so on. After summing up the total cost of everything, though, you realize that you'll break the bank. The total cost of moving gives you a sinking feeling, especially if you're planning a DIY move. However, our Jacksonville movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage have your back with tips on moving to Jacksonville on a budget!

Don't Purchase Boxes

When moving to Jacksonville on a budget, don't purchase boxes. Yup, you read that right. Don't shop around for boxes to pack your belongings. Believe it or not, there are plenty of FREE boxes at your disposal if you ask around. For instance, many grocery and liquor stores have numerous cardboard boxes stacked away somewhere since that's how most of their inventory is delivered. Just walk into your local grocery or liquor store and ask for spare cardboard boxes; the staff will be more than happy to give you boxes. Liquor store boxes are exceptionally perfect for wine and drinking glasses because they are divided inside.

Along with boxes from grocery and liquor stores, you can use alternatives like suitcases and dresser drawers. The luggage and drawers are great to use for clothes and linens, reducing the number of boxes needed for the move. If packing everything for the move is too time-consuming, you can always opt for our affordable Jacksonville packing services. Out of all the moving companies in Jacksonville, we go above and beyond to make sure your belongings are securely packed with high-quality materials.

Tax Deduction

Even though this tip isn't as immediate depending on the time of year, you can always claim your move to Jacksonville as a tax deduction if you meet specific criteria. To be considered a tax write-off, your move must be job-related and you must be employed in a full-time position for at least 39 weeks within the first 12 months of your move.[1] The move should also be at least 50 miles from the old residence for it to be considered a tax deduction.
