There is a common misconception that when using a self moving service, you are completely alone in all aspects of a move. This is not the case.

Many self moving services provide the option of purchasing moving supplies. Even making sets of various box sizes, as well as packing tape, markers, labels, and bubble wrap or packing peanuts. Depending on the size of the house and how much you have to pack, will determine which set of supplies you may need.

You can also get advice from self moving services. They can tell you the best way to pack your fragile items to avoid them being broken. They can also show diagrams and explain the proper way to load the moving truck so your items do not move while being transported.
