F.A.Q.

The cheapest option is usually renting a truck and doing the move yourself. However, this can be difficult for long trips, especially across state lines. If you're hiring movers, the most affordable service is a consolidated move—where your items share space on a truck with other customers. This reduces cost but may increase delivery time.

For a move out of Massachusetts, the cost depends on distance, volume, and services needed. On average, budget:
