NOTE: If you are looking for a company to only transport your belongings please use the "Find a Mover" Search to your right.
For those of you that want to save money, AND have the energy to deal with the loading and the unloading part of every move, their is a new alternative! Do-It-Yourself Companies will deliver a trailer, van, or container to your residence, and leave it there for you to load. Once it is loaded their job is to deliver it to your new location. Then it’s up to you again to unload your goods.
Self-Service Moving is definitely a way to save money compared to a full service mover. As with anything, though, there are positives and negatives. You should, therefore, consider the following:
Loading and unloading is not physically easy. Moving companies hire strong men for a reason.
Arranging and stacking furniture and boxes is considered by some to almost be an art form. Knowledge and experience are invaluable when placing large items and fragile items side by side.
Many people feel that trusting such work to a professional moving company reduces their stress and permits them more time to deal with other important matters of relocation.
Double check how much money you will really save by Doing-It-Yourself. Is it worth it?
Lastly, do you have many items? Are many of your belongings large in size? Are many items Heavy or Akward in shape?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you may wish to consider going with a full-service moving company. If you answered no you may be very please with a Do-It-Yourself Moving Company!
