So, you’re moving for work. How exciting! What may not be as exciting is all the preparation that goes into moving your family and all of your things to your new location.

One of the large decisions you will be making is whether to hire a freight company or a moving service to ship your household goods. It is important to understand exactly what benefits each option provides, so you are able to correctly equip your item for shipment. The two main types of services you will confront when shipping household goods are moving services and freight services.

Moving Services (Across Town Moving)

Smaller household moving companies provides moving services. While these companies usually only offer their services for full household or office moves, there are companies out there that will do smaller shipments such as individual pieces of furniture or single boxes.

Freight Services (Far and Wide Moving)

Freight service is another way to ship large household goods. While most freight shipments are for commercial goods, there are freight services are that specialize in the transportation of household goods, personal effects, autos, boats, motorcycles, pets, fine art, and antiques.
