Oh lovely, yet another New Englander moving here to SC 
. Where are you locating?
Iāve moved a few times for work across one state line (which factors into shipping cost I think) and all but one used professional movers - that one time of having to move a 2.5k foot house of stuff was the last Iāll ever do it myself - hiring a company is worth every penny of not having to deal with the stress and fighting of doing it yourself.
