Grab the Marathon RSS feed!You certainly have options for how to move. Depending on the size of your home, where you are moving to and your budget, you might choose to rent a truck and move yourself, hire movers to do the job, or pack yourself and have a moving company move your belongings.
Here are some things to consider on each option:
Do it yourself. You need three things to even consider moving yourself; a very small home, a lot of good, strong friends or family, and the comfort level and ability to drive a very big truck with all your belongings inside. If you have these things then moving yourself might be a good and economical option. It’s also the option that gives you the most control.
Pack yourself and let the movers transport your possessions. This option allows you some control, but you don’t have to drive the truck. It is also less expensive than using full service moving companies. If you don't need the entire moving van, you share the space on the truck with other customers.
Hiring a moving company to do everything. This is a good choice if you don’t have a lot of time, if it is long distance moving, if you have a large house; this is your best bet. When you hire a good moving company, the experience is there to move you quickly and safely.
