However, full-service companies also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The company that you ultimately pick will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes. Some of the ways by which you might learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Georgia's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Athens is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts. Once you're down to a small list of companies to select from, you can get in touch with each of them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with two or more of the companies from our list above.
