The more you do yourself, the less it costs.
U Haul = packing, loading, driving, unloading, unpacking
POD = packing, loading, unloading, unpacking
Mover = unpacking
I have more money than skill in packing or endurance for loading and unloading.
Movers have risks; it’s scary to stand in the road and wave goodbye to all your stuff. We’ve used movers three times with very good results. There has been stress and there was one sacrificial waffle iron but everything else was good. Maybe we’ve been lucky - YMMV.
