As Connecticut continues to see negative net migration, the demand for out-of-state moving services keeps rising, says Movers.com – which increases cost and leaves homeowners more vulnerable to potential moving fraud and scams.

Finding reliable movers isn’t always easy, and doing so for an affordable rate is even more challenging – which is why many homeowners choose to move on their own or with help from friends and family.

Not sure which one is right for you? Movers.com is here to help, with a...

The Movers.com guide on “6 Ways To Hire Help for Your Move” explains that whatever type of help homeowners go for, it’s important that they do get some sort of assistance - as moving entirely on your own can be stressful and lead to injury due to overwork.

Hiring professional movers is an obvious first option - but if you're looking for more affordable alternatives, the guide recommends using Facebook community pages in your local area to find rental trucks or people to help you move.

“Of course, if you aren’t comfortable having strangers pack up your belongings, you could ask them to help with other tasks that you need to be done,” explains the guide. “Loading up the truck is a big one, or even just getting help moving heavy items could help out a lot in a move.”

The Nextdoor website and app are also useful platforms to find moving help, or sell unwanted things. Nextdoor can also help you learn more about the area you plan on moving to, including info on safety and crime.

Finally, the guide recommends hiring friends - even if it means paying them small amounts of money, it will still be more affordable than working with a pro.

If you do want to go for professional movers, Movers.com has compiled a list of pre-screened companies offering licensed and certified services.
