Moving is one of those expensive necessities in life. Given the sluggish economy, many people will be looking to spend as little as possible on their move this summer. If you can afford the convenience, hiring a full-service moving company is the best way to go. Otherwise you are probably looking at renting a moving truck and hiring an extra hand or two. Cheaper options include borrowing a friend's pickup truck or van and doing the heavy lifting yourself, which will probably require multiple trips. One affordable option that has become more available in recent years is to use a mobile storage company to handle your move. Using a flatbed truck, the storage company will deliver a container to you, which you (or hired packers) fill at your own convenience. Most containers will hold about one and one-half rooms' worth of stuff, so you may need multiple containers. When your containers are packed, the company will deliver them to your new home, handling the transportation from door-to-door. Most companies will offer this service for about half of the price of a full-service moving company, depending on how far your stuff is going.
