When you're moving to a new home, do you pack everything up yourself?

15 years ago, I would never have even asked this question - because there was no way I could ever afford a full-service moving crew, I could barely afford to rent the truck.

Things have changed a lot since then though, and honestly, the times I moved in the past and did it all myself, those aren't exactly my fondest memories.

In fact, it was so much not fun, I think that this time around, I'm just going to pay an expert to handle the entire thing. I don't even want to see a packed box.

Instead, I'm going to hire a crew to come to my house, take everything down or apart, pack it all up, take it to my new place, unpack it, and set it all back up again.

Does that sound like a little too much? If you're not sure, you can check out a free guide from Movers dot com that explains all your options, from Doing-It-Yourself to hiring a team that does it all for you.

It explains everything you can expect a full-service crew to do, and what you would have to do yourself if you choose the DIY route. More than that though, it can also help you to find out exactly how much each option will cost - but we'll get to that in a minute.

First, it's important that you realize just how "full-service" a move can be - and that you can really choose any option between full-service and DIY, if you hire the right crew.

Personally, I'm a big fan of full-service moving, because it's so much easier, it more than makes up for any drawbacks, in my opinion. It's nice to not have to pack anything, load a truck, or even carry any boxes. They'll even take the art off your walls, empty your cupboards, roll up your carpets, and then reverse the process and set them all back up in your new place.

Of course, while a full-service moving team can make the process easier, there are a few small problems with it, at least for some people. If you really like to have control over every step of the way, then maybe a full-service move isn't for you. It's also not exactly cheap, so that's a consideration too.

The exact rates are pretty impossible to estimate through a podcast, but if you're wondering how much a full-service move or any kind of professional moving services might cost - I can help with that.
