Which Move Type is Right for You?

Compare your options and choose based on your situation

Full DITY

You move everything

Best for profit

Maximum profit potential

Pros

  • Keep 95% of government estimate
  • Net profit after taxes typically $1,500-5,000+
  • Complete control over timing
  • Choose your own packing method

Cons

  • Most physical work
  • Risk of damage falls on you
  • Requires upfront cash for costs
  • Time-intensive (2-5 days)

Best for: Those with time, able bodies, and willingness to do the work

Partial DITY

Government ships some, you move some

Moderate profit potential

Pros

  • Less physical work than full DITY
  • Still pocket some money
  • Heavy items handled by TMO
  • Balanced effort vs. reward

Cons

  • Split coordination hassle
  • Lower profit than full DITY
  • Weight allocation complexity
  • Partial damage liability

Best for: Those who want some profit without all the work

Full TMO Move

Government handles everything

$0 profit

Pros

  • Zero effort required
  • No upfront costs
  • Full damage coverage (FCI claims)
  • Professional packing included

Cons

  • No profit opportunity
  • Less control over timing
  • May have scheduling delays
  • Strangers handle your stuff

Best for: Those with no time/ability to move themselves, or high-value fragile items

Pro Tip

Even if you choose Full TMO, you can still do a small partial DITY with items you transport yourself (electronics, valuables). This lets you pocket some money while still having the bulk professionally moved.
