Self-Service Moving vs Full Service
Movers
America's popular
"move when you like (or need)" culture has resulted in the
proliferation of an entire industry catering to the moving
needs of millions of customers. Fortunately, with the increase
in competition, a number of options are now available for
those on the move.
|
| Full service

|
As the name
suggests, companies offering the full service option orchestrate
the entire moving process, from packing and loading boxes
to driving and unloading. While plans (and prices) vary,
these companies cater to the needs of busy executives or
those individuals whose relocation costs are borne by employers.
|
| Advantages |
- Convenience of having professionals execute the
entire moving process.
- The full service option saves a lot of time and
allows busy executives to focus on their core business.
- Allowing the experts to handle the move would virtually
eliminate all hassles and surprises and result in a
faster, efficient relocation (not always, though).
|
| Disadvantages |
- Costs could be significantly higher than
other options.
- If you are working with a larger company
you may have to work around their schedule and
policies.
|
| Self service (do-it-yourself)
movers |
|
For those of us who belong to
the “do-it-yourself generation”, there’s good news.
From a blend of “you pack and unpack, we drive”
movers to “you pack and unpack, you drive” movers,
the options are many. Typically, the
self-service
option allows more control in the way you want to
coordinate the move. The moving company would deliver
empty trailer(s) or crate(s) to your home and give
you a few days to pack and load. Professional drivers
would then drive the moving truck
to the destination location where you would be responsible
for the unpacking.
|
| Advantage |
- By choosing to orchestrate the move yourself,
you can save hundreds of dollars.
- There is more time to pack.
- You still retain the advantage of having
a professional driver take care of the transportation.
|
| Disadvantages |
- The most significant disadvantage is the
amount of time and labor that would be spent
in planning, coordinating, and executing the
entire process.
- You may be missing out on the expertise
of professional movers.
