If you think you have sufficient time to plan everything and also want to save money, then you should consider doing it of your own without hiring a packers and movers company.

This option would be a little costlier, but you won’t be taking any stress except finding and hiring a good moving and Relocation Company.

Now lets assume you want to do the packing and moving by yourself, in that case, you have to:

• Procure Packing Materials from a local store
• Pack all your items by yourself. You can do this slowly if you have time in hand.
• While packing goods, you have to ensure all your goods are packed properly, especially items that could easily get damaged.
• Once goods are packed, you have to label them
• Buy transit insurance for your goods. Insurance is a must no matter if you are doing it or if you have hired a movers and packers company
• Arrange a trucking company and labor to load all your goods into the truck
• Once your goods are moved, you have to reach destination before the truck reaches there, and arrange labors to unload those materials
• After unloading, you have to unpack and re-arrange all items
