We moved here three years ago. After two astronomical bids from movers ( over $10,000!) We decided to pack ourselves and rented a truck from Penske. Penske has a better reputation for vehicle maintenance than U-Haul.
We hired helpers on both ends of the move, from a company on the line of Two Guys and A Truck. They were excellent, careful and worked the entire time.
We came from Minnesota, and I want to say our cost was closer to $2,000.
We have friends who had movers; one lost many boxes to theft. The other did not get her furniture for days. If you are physically able, moving yourself is well worth the trouble, IMO.
