If you’re moving your stuff from one place to another, you have two options: hire a professional mover or pack up everything yourself. Both have their pros and cons, but there are some pretty clear differences between movers vs. packers. If you’re unsure which is best for your needs, consider each type of move: local vs. long-distance and national vs. international. Both types of moves require different skill sets; what works for one might not work for another.
