Relocating companies, often known as removalists or van lines, are enterprises that provide assistance to individuals and businesses in the process of moving their belongings from one location to another. It provides comprehensive services for relocations, including packing, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking, and arranging of objects to be moved, such as furniture, appliances, and other possessions. Cleaning services for homes, workplaces, or storage facilities are some of the additional services that may be provided.

The United States Census Bureau estimates that 40 million people living in the United States relocated per year throughout the course of the previous decade. In the United States, persons who have relocated have, on average, moved inside their own state 84.5 percent of the time, moved to another state 12.5 percent of the time, and moved to another nation 2.3% of the time.

The Personal Property Program of the United States Department of Defense is responsible for twenty percent of all relocations, making it the biggest shipper of home items in the world.

The weight of the items that need to be moved, the distance that needs to be travelled, the speed with which the items need to be moved, and the season or month of the year in which the move takes place are the primary factors that determine the cost of long-distance moves in the United States and Canada. Consolidated shipping, which is offered by certain moving companies but not all, helps customers save money on their relocation by transferring the belongings of several customers in a single cargo. In certain countries, such as the United Kingdom and Australia, the price of an object is determined not by its weight but rather by its volume. It's possible that certain moving companies may charge you a set amount.

Do-it-yourself moving may refer to either using the services of a truck rental company or just borrowing comparable moving equipment. Those who are relocating often borrow or hire a truck or trailer that is sufficiently sized to transport their home belongings and, if required, acquire moving equipment such as dollies, furniture cushions, and cargo belts to either protect the furniture or make the moving process itself easier.

Finding or purchasing items such as boxes, paper, tape, and bubble wrap to pack boxable and/or protect delicate home goods and to consolidate lugging and stacking on moving day is another step in the moving process. These products may be found at moving supply stores or online. Another possible alternative is provided by organisations that provide self-service moving, in which the individual doing the transfer purchases space on one or more trailers or shipping containers. After that, trained personnel transport these containers to the new place using their own vehicles.
