[tag]Moving your home[/tag], especially long distance, can cost you a mint if you want [tag]full-service packing and shipping[/tag]. That might be your only option if you have one of the larger McMansions or your apartment is full of antique furnishings that need to be protected. For those who can rough it a little, there are more and more do-it-yourself options out there. Rental trucks allow you to do it all yourself — pack, drive and unpack.

If you’re up for [tag]packing[/tag] but not driving, a few services will drop off containers at your home for you to load at your leisure.
