Risks of DIY Long-Distance Moving
Insufficient packing expertise: Without the guidance of professional movers, delicate
items may be packed inappropriately and left unsecured, increasing the risk of damage
during transit.
Handling complex logistics: Moving from one state to another requires navigating
unfamiliar roads, facing traffic, and adhering to different state regulations. All of these can
be overwhelming without the proper knowledge and experience.
Lack of insurance: DIY moves often lack insurance coverage. This means you’re responsible
for any potential loss and damages while transporting your belongings.
Inadequate equipment and tools: Furniture movers often have specialized straps and
lifting equipment. This helps them move items more efficiently. Without these, the move
takes longer and is infinitely more difficult.
