Full-service moving companies are more than movers. They will handle your move from scratch like packing stuff, loading, and unloading, disassembling furniture, uninstallation appliances, transporting your belongings to the new location, reassembling furniture, and even unpacking.
Pros and Cons of Full-Service Moving
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Less labor, less responsibility | Expensive as include multiple works and handling |
| Zero involvement in any kind of handling | You have to move according to the schedule of moving company |
| Experts will handle packing, moving and other things like packing, and moving supplies |
Self-Service Moving
Self-service moving is a bit different from full-service moving. In self-service moving, you are responsible for packing your belongings on your own. The moving company you hired will come to pick up your stuff and deliver them to the new location.
