Self Service
Movers
Moving house can be a very expensive experience. One-of expenses seem to be coming at you from every direction, and budget, already limited, is now being stretched out of all proportion. You were beginning to see yourself behind the wheel of a large truck, map in one hand, a torch in the other and three screaming children sitting behind you, screeching in unison “ Are we there yet?”
If your plans to hire a professional moving company just went out the wind, then don’t worry. Rhode island movers can offer you a very appealing alternative.
Our self-moving service offers you the best of both worlds
Self-Moving Services: Get the Basics and Compare Companies
When you're starting to plan your move, it can feel like you have only two options: either pay a professional moving company to box up your home and hope they don't tack on hidden fees before returning your belongings or rent a truck yourself, do all the heavy lifting and then get behind the wheel for a long, long drive.
If neither sounds appealing, you're in luck. A new form of moving, self-service, has been growing in popularity thanks to its common sense approach. With self-service movers, you pack your belongings and they do the hard driving.
The Skinny on Self-Service Moving
The concept behind self-service moving couldn't be simpler. After you've made arrangements with a company, they drop off a large, weather-resistant crate (or two, or three, depending on your needs) in front of your home. You pack your things inside, lock the crate up and the company's truck comes to whisk it away. Once you've arrived at your new place, the company drops off your crate and you start unpacking.
Some self-service moving companies bring an empty 28' trailer to the customer's home. The customer can use as much of the trailer as they need. Price is computed by linear feet used.
Because self-service movers leave you to take care of the packing and unpacking, you save on the hourly costs of having a moving crew wrap and stack your furniture (though for an extra charge, some self-service companies will help you box up your stuff). The price of a self-service move is assessed by the number of crates you use and how far you need them to go. Though crate sizes vary by companies, average ones can hold about 3000 lbs. Generally, making your move with a self-service company will be less expensive than hiring a full-service mover and slightly more expensive than doing it with a U-Haul. However, depending on how much you spend on gas, tolls and other expenses, going with self-service could be the cheapest of your three options. Some amount of insurance coverage is factored into the price of your self-service move as well, though more is often available if you're moving valuables.
In the end, you can't put a price on peace of mind. If you go with self-service, you won't have to worry about your rental truck breaking down in the middle of nowhere, and because all your belongings are in a single box, they're much less likely to be mixed up with other shipments, lost or damaged.

UPS Freight will bring a clean roomy 28 foot long trailer (a "pup") right to your driveway and leave it for your use. U-load™ the pup (or let pros do it for you). Once loaded, UPS Freight's professional drivers deliver the trailer to your new home and pickup the empty after you've finished unloading. And, you only pay for the space you actually use!
