Self-Moving Services: Get the Basics and Compare Companies
When you're starting to plan your move, it can feel like you have only two
options: either pay a professional mover to box up your home and hope they
don't tack on hidden fees before returning your belongings or rent a truck
yourself, do all the heavy lifting and then get behind the wheel for a long,
long drive.
If neither sounds appealing, you're in luck. A new form of moving, self-service,
has been growing in popularity thanks to its common sense approach. With
self-service movers, you pack your belongings and they do the hard driving.

The Skinny on Self-Service Moving
The concept behind self-service moving couldn't be simpler. After you've made
arrangements with a company, they drop off a large, weather-resistant crate (or
two, or three, depending on your needs) in front of your home. You pack your
things inside, lock the crate up and the company's truck comes to whisk it
away. Once you've arrived at your new place, the company drops off your crate
and you start unpacking.
