For moving a small amount of things from one home to another, you have more than one option. You can rent a moving truck and drive your items to your destination, or you can hire a moving company. Full-service moving companies provide movers to pack, load, and deliver your inventory, and self-service companies drop off portable storage containers that you will load yourself. The company will then pick up and deliver these storage containers on or around the date you agreed to in your moving contract.
