Beware of the cheapest moving company. Basically you are buying a service and the less you pay the less you will get.
Cheap movers will usually cut corners on things like packing and supplies. They will most likely be in a rush and understaffed.

Take a look first at what services you need from your mover. Can you pack your own home? That saves quite a bit. How about a moving pod? Saves a lot over a full service mover.

How much does it cost to move houses?
Without knowing the distance you are moving or the weight of your goods, it is impossible to provide an estimate of cost as the cost is dependent on these two things. You probably need to contact a reputable moving company to obtain a quote.
I have moved lots of times, from across the street to crosscountry moves to other states. Besides the cost of the moving truck, there are also miscellaneous expenses that creep up, including deposits, repairs to your new home, additional eating out during the time of moving, and buying cleaning products and food for the new house. For some reason, I usually have car repairs and other expenses of that sort. So, you would want a rainy day fund as well as saving for the costs you can predict.
What do you need to do when moving house?
Well you need to pack all your belongings away to start with. Then when all this is done fine a removals company to take everything for you to your new location.
Prune your belongings: Decide what items will suit your new home and trash or give away items that have been unworn or unused for a year or more. If you know where you are moving, figure out the dimensions of the rooms and the furniture you plan to take. If something will not fit, sell it or give it away before moving. That will relieve crowding when you arrive. LazyBoy and other furniture sites often have easy to use software online to achieve this.
Organize your paperwork: Put important papers into folders or a container so that they are easily found. This goes particularly for diplomas, social security cards, checks and so on that you will want to access without digging through boxes for the office. Shred old or outdated papers.
Divan Beds: Drawers in divan beds should be emptied.
Chests of Drawers: These can be left filled with soft and light items to help with storage.
Wardrobes: These can be left with soft and light items of clothing to help with storage solutions.
Lamp Shades: Should be packed in snug fitting boxes to prevent damage.
Fragile items: Should be wrapped and packed separately. Bubble wrap is great for this. You can also put fragile items in with towels or clothing to give the items a cushion
Freezers and Fridges: Should be emptied and defrosted .
Utilities: Don't forget to notify Gas, Electricity and Water suppliers that you are moving and take final meter readings.
Marking your Boxes:
Clearly mark which boxes you want to be placed in which rooms on delivery. This saves you having to open them to see what's inside.
1. Sort & Pack - make sure that all the things you'll be bringing will fit your new place. Throw out unnecessary items. Label boxes per room for easier moving.
2. Furniture transfer - make sure your furniture will fit access doors to your new place.
3. Update your contact details - this goes to your billing and school records for your kids.
4. Organize a cleaner if you will not do it yourself.
5. Organize for a removalist if can't do it on your own.
6. Settle bills.
7. Check all rooms before leaving to make sure you did not forget anything.

In north wales places such as Port Meirion are nice.
Repurchasing all of your things would probably cost more than a moving pod or moving truck for your cross country move.
If you pack and drive the moving truck yourself it would save you personal transport costs such as airline tickets from California to Pennslyania.
If you already have personal travel plans or are not interested in the fuel and housing costs to drive a truck state to state then a moving pod is probably you're least expensive option.
you must also consider how much time you have to move. Hiring a truck and driver is probably faster than waiting for a moving pod to be delivered which can take weeks to arrive.
