It basically boils down to whether you choose to spend your time or your money.

If you’re short on time and manpower or just want to offset some of the tasks onto professional shoulders, then hiring a licensed, reputable and experienced mover sounds like your best option. Requesting free move estimates is the most reliable and accurate way to budget for your moving costs, and to shop around for the best options. But if you want to gauge a ballpark quote before contacting movers, then it’s helpful to understand some of the basics. Most professional moving companies will estimate your moving cost on a combination of the following factors: Weight (critical factor in a long distance move) The longer your move and the heavier your shipment, the higher your move cost will be. Let’s break down those factors into a simple formula for local (in-state moves less than 50 miles) and long distance (out of state moves). Your Basic Local Move FormulaX (# of movers) X (# of hours loading/unloading/transit) + (Gas/tolls) + (Packing services/materials)

Your Basic Long Distance Move FormulaX (Rate based on shipment Weight and Distance) + (Packing services/materials) + (Shuttle Fee if your destination cannot accommodate a typical large long distance moving van) + (Optional full value protection of your shipment) Here are a few very rough estimates to give you an idea on total costs. A cross-country move from Chicago to Denver (~ 1,000 miles) for a 4- bedroom house (~12,000 lbs. of stuff) could cost around $8,000. Need a total change of scenery? Moving from Boston to Houston (~ 1,800 miles) for a 2-bedroom apartment (~ 4,000 lbs. of stuff) could cost around $5,000. When hiring an interstate mover, be sure to request a binding estimate in writing. This will guarantee that the final price you pay when your shipment is delivered will not exceed the estimate, as long as you don’t add items not included in the original estimate. Staying in the area? A local 4-bedroom size move from one Chicago neighborhood to another could cost around $2,000 (factoring average costs of $160/hour for four men and a large truck).

Hiring two men and a truck for a smaller move can range from $90 – $120 per hour depending on where you live. And if you just want labor help and don’t need a truck, you can expect to pay less than $100 per hour. Keep in mind estimates can also be affected by your desired move date, so expect higher prices if you want to move in the summer or even on weekends, when demand can be at its peak. And if you want your mover to pack up your belongings on top of hauling and unloading it it, this can be up to a quarter of the total cost of a full service move. According to an MSN Real Estate article on moving costs, two professional movers can pack up a two- to three-bedroom home in a day at a cost of $400 to $640 (at about $25 – $40 an hour without materials). Remember, there’s no substitute for getting estimates from top rated movers. This will give you the most accurate quote, especially when you have an in-home assessment where the movers can go through your home and see all your belongings.

You can hire guys to do this for you, but it is a separate cost. Frankly, I moved from MI to Vegas and researched every possible way-we did not get a relo pkg-I found the moving company to be the cheapest. PODS were ridiculously high. In fact they were the highest and I told them that. ABF Upack wasn't too bad if you want to go that way. I liked that the moving co. did all the wrapping, undoing beds, putting them back together...but then again, my husband was already at the destination and I didn't feel like having to recruit people to help my load. Plus, the apt we moved into is on the 2nd floor and there was no way I would have been much help with that. Cost to us was $2300. and that came to about a 1.5-2 br. home. 1,242 posts, read 2,045,103 timesAfter a few on scene quotes, telephone calls and my husbands insane(lol) care about his zillion dollar drumset(s)... we are moving ourselves.

NO relo from his company. I found Budget had the best rates. I did an online quote... then called.. without telling them I had. He gave me a price 200. ABOVE the online quote. Then I told him what the online quote was ... he put me on hold for a few minutes and came back with $1001. which was 400 less than anything and 2400 miles and 8 days. Well...my husband will be coming home to finish packing everything... including his beloved drums... and will be driving the truck. 16' but a 22' was the same price. While I follow/lead in my SUV. We have downsized over the years so being moved didn't seem like the right move. I have thrown away so much 'stuff' in the last couple of weeks ... While we have a GPS I also have MS Streets and Trips. It will calculate based on your MPG where/when to get gas... how far you can go in a given day including breaks(we are traveling with 4 dogs) hotels, gas stations, rest stops, restaurants... when to stop for gas.. how much it will cost...Yeah, I have put some time and research into this

Naturally we have to cross the Rockies in the beginning of Dec... they don't have anything in the software for that. So we're getting walkie-talkies with built in weather stations in them!

They are similar to PODS only about $1000 cheaper. I don't have a ton of things, but I am single and called a local mover "Starving Students" to help me load the containers. They will even do that on Sunday. When I get to Charlotte I will do the same, have some local movers unload the containers for me. The cost local movers here in CA will charge me $80/hr. So overall it should be couple hours for them to load the containers since I will pack everything myself.
