There are clear advantages to doing the move yourself depending on your circumstances. Cost is a strong determining factor but there are other considerations to review as well. Look at the suggested areas to consider before making your decision.

Cost

Do It Yourself (DIY): There may be no need to hire a mover if you are going a short distance across town. The cost of the move would come mostly from renting the truck and supplies needed to assist with the move. You could entice a few close friends with pizza and pop to help you move and if anyone has a pickup truck your cost goes down even more. This works great for moving short distances and very few things. However, when the distance is much further your cost will increase substantially.

Hiring movers: The cost of the move is included in the flat fee or hourly rate. Make sure that the rate is established up front and in writing when you sign the contract. Call around for quotes from several local movers and then compare that to how much it will cost if you do it yourself to determine the best way to go.

Time Saved

You can take your time, create a list of the things you will take with you and pack little by little until it is all done. Nonetheless, taking the time off to pack and move your household can be a costly. You may work hourly and lose this time in pay. On the other hand, if vacation time can be used you can still be paid while you are doing the move yourself.

Hiring professional movers frees you up to do other things. Check to see if the service of packing is included and you can save even more time. many area moving companies offer additional services as a way to gain customers and this works out great for you. Note: It is still a good idea to make a running list of the items that you need to have packed and which boxes each item is contained. For example, you could mark the boxes according to rooms, such as kitchen, bathroom, living room, daughter's room, son's room and your room.

Damage

Benefits of DIY Moving: You will take care of your things because they mean something to you. Nonetheless, things can happen and if, during the move, something is broken or lost you will have to eat that loss.
