There are many options to a person who is moving - the kind of service that will work really depends on his or her needs.
 
The most obvious and the most recommended option to take would be to hire a professional moving outfit. This is the less stressful but most expensive way to take. But if you have a lot of stuff and especially if you have special items like a piano or certain fragile electronics, these are better left in the hands of experienced and skilled movers. Moving companies also have other extra services that make moves even more convenient for you.
 
Hiring a moving company is also recommended especially for long distance moves, as everything would be easier to manage with a professional removal service at the helm of things. And again the experience these companies have will play a big part in making your move as smooth and efficient as possible.
 
Another common option is hiring only the moving truck or van. This is more advisable if you don't have a lot of stuff to move, as you won't be minding much and it would be easier for you to manage everything by doing your move by yourself.
