Making the Right Choice for Your Move

Should you save money and pack yourself, or hire the pros? It's the classic DIY vs. Professional debate. Let's look at the facts.

1. The Value of Time

Packing a 3BHK house professionally takes 1 day. Doing it yourself can take a week of your evenings and weekends. What is your time worth?

2. Safety and Insurance

Most insurance companies will not cover items 'packed by owner' (PBO). If you pack it and it breaks, you're on your own. If the pros pack it, they are liable for its safety.

3. Equipment and Technique

Professionals have the right tools and techniques—like double-wrapping corners or using the right amount of padding—that most DIYers simply don't know.
