Should I Hire Movers?

Before beginning the moving process, most people face a wide array of choices, including where to move, what to take, what to give away. Perhaps the most fundamental question asked is, “Should I move myself, or hire professional movers?”

Pursuing a DIY Move

Some people decide to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and handle every component of their move alone, especially if they’re seeking to save a few pennies. What they may not know is that often, hiring professional movers is actually more affordable than renting a truck, paying for gas, recruiting friends, and purchasing all of your own boxes, tape, and moving supplies.  Additionally, you’ll have to handle all of the coordination, heavy lifting, and any unexpected problems by yourself. Moving from one home to another without a team of movers takes much longer, and the work isn’t easy.

Choosing to Hire Movers

If you decide to hire a professional moving company, you won’t have to lift a finger – you can leave the heavy lifting to the pros. They’ll provide you with all supplies needed; for example, at Fox Moving & Storage, we provide clients with boxes, blankets, and other items as required. A reputable moving company will also work with you to figure out the logistics of your move, ensuring that you save a lot of time that would have otherwise been spent wrestling an old couch out the door. The whole process becomes much less stressful and much more efficient than trying to set everything up yourself.
