While the upfront price of hiring a truck or paying for packaging materials might seem manageable, hidden expenses can snowball if you&#8217;re not prepared. The <strong data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"599\">cost of moving<\/strong> isn\u2019t just about transport\u2014there\u2019s manpower, packing, utilities, and even surprise deposits to consider.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"845\">In this article, we\u2019ll uncover <strong data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"754\">5 sneaky ways<\/strong> your moving costs can spiral and provide practical advice on how to avoid budget blowouts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here are some common mistakes that could lead to extra moving costs:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-booking-a-lorry-that-is-too-small\">1. Booking a lorry that is too small<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The first cost that most people take into consideration when they are moving is the cost of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelorry.com\/my\/blog\/how-to-hire-a-lorry-transport-in-malaysia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">renting a lorry<\/a>. Depending on the number of things and how heavy and big the items are, the size of the lorry will also vary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelorry.com\/my\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TheLorry<\/a>, you can book a lorry ranging from one tonne to five tonnes, or even a van if the items you are moving are less than 500kg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The common mistake that most people make is not getting the lorry in the right size. By getting one that is too small could end up costing you more since you would need to make two trips or find another way to move!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Estimate the size of your moving transportation as accurately as possible, as the price of a three-tonne lorry is double the price of a one-tonne lorry (RM150). If you book a one-tonne lorry only to find out that you need another lorry or another trip to transport all your items, you will need to fork another RM150!<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1206\">One of the most common and costly moving mistakes is underestimating how much stuff you actually have. Booking a lorry that\u2019s too small can seem like a way to save money\u2014until you realize you\u2019ll need a second trip or an additional vehicle. That\u2019s when the real expense begins.<\/p>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\" data-start=\"1208\" data-end=\"1252\"><strong data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1252\">How to Estimate the Right Lorry Size<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1544\">Start by inventorying everything you&#8217;re moving\u2014furniture, boxes, appliances. Use online calculators or consult with the moving service to determine the lorry size that fits. Companies like <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/thelorry.com\/my\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1479\">TheLorry<\/a> offer vehicles ranging from one-tonne vans to five-tonne trucks.<\/p>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\" data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1584\"><strong data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1584\">Cost Comparison of Lorry Sizes<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1655\">Here\u2019s a quick comparison table to illustrate how costs can escalate:<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"_tableContainer_16hzy_1\">\r\n<div class=\"_tableWrapper_16hzy_14 group flex w-fit flex-col-reverse\">\r\n<table class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\" data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1902\">\r\n<thead data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1720\">\r\n<tr data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1720\">\r\n<th style=\"text-align: center\" data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1674\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1673\">Lorry Size<\/strong><\/th>\r\n<th style=\"text-align: center\" data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1693\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"1676\" data-end=\"1692\">Typical Load<\/strong><\/th>\r\n<th style=\"text-align: center\" data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"1720\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1718\">Estimated Cost (RM)<\/strong><\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1902\">\r\n<tr data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1822\">\r\n<td data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1796\" data-col-size=\"sm\">1-Tonne<\/td>\r\n<td data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1815\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Studio apartment<\/td>\r\n<td data-start=\"1815\" data-end=\"1822\" data-col-size=\"sm\">150<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr data-start=\"1823\" data-end=\"1861\">\r\n<td data-start=\"1823\" data-end=\"1833\" data-col-size=\"sm\">3-Tonne<\/td>\r\n<td data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"1854\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Medium-sized house<\/td>\r\n<td data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"1861\" data-col-size=\"sm\">300<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1902\">\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1872\" data-col-size=\"sm\">5-Tonne<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1895\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Large home or office<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" data-start=\"1895\" data-end=\"1902\" data-col-size=\"sm\">450<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<div class=\"sticky end-(--thread-content-margin) h-0 self-end select-none\">\r\n<div class=\"absolute end-0 flex items-end\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"2041\">Booking a smaller lorry might seem cheaper at first, but a second trip could double your cost unnecessarily.

Cost of manpower<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Getting a lorry to move your items is just half of the work done. The cost of transportation does not include manpower to help you move the item into the truck and also off the truck when it reaches the destination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The cost of labour vary depending on the type of property you are moving to and from. High rise properties with no lift will see a higher cost of about RM150.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, if you are moving from a landed property to another landed property, the cost of manpower will likely be about RM90 per person, and if you do not have anyone helping you (read: friends and family you\u2019ve bullied into helping), you will need at least two people to help you do the moving for a one-tonne lorry. This will come up to RM180. And don\u2019t expect the driver to help, because his job description is only driving the vehicle and does not include moving items.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The more items you have, the bigger the lorry you will need, and also the more manpower you will. Don\u2019t overlook this cost and be shocked when it\u2019s time to pay.

The cost of packing includes packing materials such as boxes, shrink wrap and bubble wrap. If you expect your things to arrive at the destination and inside your new home in pristine, or at least it their original condition, make sure the packing is done properly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Fragile items, like a really expensive oak furniture, must be shrink wrapped properly to avoid scratches and damages. Vases and breakable items should be bubble wrapped to avoid breaking them during the possible bumpy journey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Boxes can cost up to RM14, while bubble wrap is RM200 per roll, and shrink wrap is RM50 per roll. All these costs must be factored in when you are budgeting for your move.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" data-start=\"2972\" data-end=\"3144\">Let\u2019s talk boxes, bubble wrap, and shrink wrap\u2014oh my!
