Last month we gave some helpful suggestion for making the moving process easier on your children. This month we wanted to let you know of something that could save you money and time when it comes to actually getting a mover.

MapDispatch.com is a business that you might find helpful when you need to find a mover. They handle everything from local mattress deliveries to cross country household moves. They’re different from moving companies because they let you name your own price for your move (although they suggest an amount).

Then they email your offer to dozens of moving companies, until they find one willing to do it for that price. So, instead of calling a couple movers yourself. You just tell them a and they contact dozens for you! Making an offer costs you nothing, and they only charge a small commission if they find a mover and you “confirm” that mover’s request. The amount you can save is substantial. I have been told that many users find they pay less than 50% than a quote received directly from a mover! Go to their site at www.mapdispatch.com for more information on the services they provide.
