• <div><p>Pool tables are exceptionally heavy, some weighing as much as <b>2,500 pounds</b>. As a result, they require multiple movers to move, and because of their size, it's difficult to get them upstairs or around tight corners. You can save money on pool table moving by using your own packing supplies and disassembling them before movers arrive. </p></div>

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: How do long-distance moves work?

• <div><p>Moving across state lines is a similar process to moving within a state. Packing, loading, and unloading of trucks will follow the same process. The primary difference is during transportation, where your belongings may be loaded onto a dedicated moving truck or combined with other shipments, depending on the distance. Your moving company will offer tracking and ongoing communication of your boxes. </p></div>

Q: How do I ship furniture to another state?

• <div><p>There are generally three ways to ship furniture to another state: hiring professional movers, using consolidated freight, or through parcel shipping. Professional movers will generally pack your boxes in a truck and transport them to a storage facility or directly to your home. </p><p>A consolidated freight service will pack, load, and ship your items, but this is best to use for one or two pieces since your items will take longer to be delivered and will share truck space with other items. Parcel shipping such as UPS and FedEx is best for smaller items since there are size limits, and you&rsquo;ll have to drop the boxes off at a local branch.</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>
