Q: Is it cheaper to move myself?

• <div><p>Yes, it is cheaper to move yourself than to hire professional movers. The average DIY move costs <b>$120 to $2,300</b>, while professionals cost <b>$890 to $2,570</b> on average or up to <b>$12,000</b> for the longest distances. While you&rsquo;ll save on the cost of professional labor with a DIY move, you&rsquo;ll spend more time and energy packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking. </p></div>

Q: What’s included in a professional movers' cost?

• <div><p>Professional movers take care of safely loading, transporting, and unloading all of your belongings. Many movers also offer specialty pricing for whole-house packing, furniture disassembly, relocating fragile items, and more. You&rsquo;ll benefit from having a moving team take care of your move quickly and efficiently.</p></div>

Q: How do I read a moving estimate?

• <div><p>Movers calculate a moving estimate through various methods, including flat fees, estimated weight, amount of space taken up in the moving truck, or a combination. Read the estimate carefully, including parts of the contract that cover mover liability, how and when movers arrive, and other information. The best estimates include an itemized list with fees for fuel, especially large items, packing and unpacking, storage services, and more.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to move into an apartment?

• <div><p>How long it takes to move into an apartment depends on many factors, including the amount of belongings you&rsquo;re bringing with you, how accessible the apartment is (do you have an elevator, or will you be walking up and down several flights of stairs with boxes?), and whether or not you&rsquo;re hiring a moving company. Having said that, for a local one-bedroom apartment, it usually takes a moving company between two and five hours to move you in.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to hire movers or move by myself?

• <div><p>You should consider hiring professional movers for moves that seem too daunting, dangerous, or involve large, heavy objects. The larger your home and the longer the distance, the more likely you are to need professional help. A moving service can take the hardest tasks off your plate and reduce the risk of personal injury. However, if you are only moving a few light items, you can save money by moving on your own and renting a truck. Keep in mind that a DIY move requires significant planning and time. A hybrid option is also available, where you hire movers just to lift and transport heavy items to your vehicle.</p></div>
