Should You Hire a Long Distance Moving Service or Do-It-Yourself?

So, you’re prepping for your long-distance move. Whether your move is a few states over, totally cross-country or completely international, you’re likely faced with three options for moving your belongings…

A) Ship Your Items Long-Distance

B) Send Your Items with Professional Movers

C) Handle Your Move Completely on Your Own

Having trouble deciding which option is the best choice for you? Let’s review some of the facts to help make your decision a bit easier… 

Shipping Your Items Long-Distance 

Sure, shipping your belongings long-distance is one way to go about your long-distance move. If you have fewer belongings and are looking for a savvy way to move said items over great distances, this might be a convenient option for you. However, have you considered that items often get lost, stolen or damaged when they are sent via UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.? How many times have you personally ordered an item online, only to receive a damaged delivery box, or even worse… items that are damaged due to careless handling or unfortunate shipping circumstances?

DIY Moving: Taking Your Belongings, Yourself 

DIY moves can be perfect… when you’re moving down the block or just across town. But when it comes to moving interstate or cross-country, moving yourself is simply begging for trouble. There are loads of fine details and unanticipated circumstances you’re certain to encounter during a DIY move. More importantly, think of all. the. boxes. (and furniture) YOU will be in charge of hauling from one destination to the other. Think: into the moving truck, out of the moving truck, up flights of stairs, down flights of stairs, in and out of doorways, and the list goes on…
