Moving this week...trust putting amps and cab in moving truck?

[Metalhex]

Or bring them in my car? I dont like either option as I dont have any road cases or any cases at all. I dont have many blankets or similar in this house right now. The movers are coming tomorrow, should I trusy the big boys in their hands? They're not Wizards by anything boutique... I have a Valveking 100w and my 6505+ 120w. But still.

Personally I dont like the idea of putting my amps and my mesa 4x12 in the moving truck with them, but at the same time it would clear up space in my car so I can fill it with other shit and make fewer trips. If I put them in the truck should I make sure they wrap and secure these extra? Will they charge me an extra $100+ to do that and is it worth it?

Or should I just schlep it all myself? In which case Id be taking the cab from my house and figuring out how to get it down some stairs and into my car. I suppose I can ask a mover to help me if I needed to..

I move music equipment and guns myself. And china/family heirlooms. Everything else I leave to the movers. They usually try to do decent. Or maybe I just got conscientious felons

Don't take the risk...
If you are questioning it already then you already know the answer..
Just move them yourself...
A bed frame or dresser is one thing. Your guitar stuff..nope...
And if they do damage something they always try to weasel out of it or pay you so much money per pound?.. or some hijinx like that.
Movers did that crap with me when they ripped the top control board section off my newer washing machine. They said it weighed "this much" so they pay out according to that.
I ended up only getting 150 bucks back on a wrecked 600 dollar washing machine.

Ditto what they said. Tbt I wouldn't trust movers to move fuck all worth money. I had a bad experience on one long distance move, and said never fucking again. I've rented trucks, and did the shit myself ever since. If it's a short hall then definitely do it yourself.
