Short story: We hired professional movers 24 years ago to move our household about 6 miles. We moved the stereo system, and the heirloom China ourselves along with a small amount of other personal irreplaceable items. As they were loading our old armoire into their truck, the lead man exclaimed to me- this thing is falling apart! I retorted, you’d be a bit fragile too if you were 150 years old. His attitude changed immediately and they handled everything after that very carefully.
I looked at it this way. If I moved all our stuff there would be no insurance if I damaged it. If professionals damage something they are insured. If your furnishings are worth anything, hire a pro. One of the big carriers, mayflower, allied, etc.
