Getting friends to help you move can make a world of difference when you are moving house.

Book a furniture removal company
Although you can move all of your furniture and other belongings yourself, this is a lot of work. On the day of your move, you want everything to be moved over as quickly and effortlessly as possible. Having to hire a trailer or van and make runs back and forth to the new home is both time consuming and exhausting. That time and effort would be much better spent on other parts of the move like unpacking. If you are moving a long distance such as interstate, it is even less viable to move without a removal company. If you were to do so you may end up having to get rid of some of your belongings that you wanted to keep in order to fit everything in your vehicle.
