I myself used a moving company when I moved back to Portland from one of my globe-trotting adventures, and I can honestly say it was the easiest move I have ever made. I intend on hiring movers again in the future, as I have found that the money spent is well worth the relief from days and weeks spent knee deep in boxes and packing tape.
