Depends how much stuff and how many people you are moving - having done a major move in 2019 it was money well spent compared to the amount of work and hassle it would have otherwise been.
In my case I used a mover (family business) that I had used roughly 10 years ago and they were really good, but... things did not work out as they should have and I wish that I had called it off and had another mover, but what happened was the son (maybe 25) had taken over the business and I thought no problem as everything seemed ok at the time.. My family and I had to leave (the mover stayed behind to pack and load the truck) to make it on time for the train in London and later on I had a call with the mover saying if i wanted my stuff delivered, it'd cost another £1200.. I ended up paying it.. I will be going to a solicitor as I was able to get everything as an email from him and the payments were bank cheques, but to make it even worse, all the boxes were packed without anythng written on them, so i have no idea what's in them and we are still unpacking them.. Been a bad move and I am so totally upset by the whole ordeal and really can't afford a solicitor and to think he took advantage of my wife and I (both disabled).. No words to describe what I am feeling, but it's a no brainer here what i would love to do.. In any case, the added cost has hurt badly and has made a mess of things as the money was needed elsewhere... Anyway my family are getting by as we have no choice but to do so and I hope we can get something back, but not sure how realistic it is as having a solicitor is going to make it so much more costly than it's worth..
so very upset over all of this mess...
