The two essential ingredients of a successful on-island self move are "person power" and hauling capacity. If you recruit friends and rent a trailer from Manage Your Move to do the job, you need not only enough strong helpers but also the right hauling capacity. If you lack either of these, it's best not to self-move. If your self-move is from the USA to the islands, we have an entire section for you under "Moving from the USA".

If your on-island move is short, the weather cooperative and you have enough help and the right moving supplies (www.mymstcroix.com) to make the work light, a move can actually be fun. A shuffle of furniture followed by pizza and a house-warming party is a do-it-yourself mover's dream. Make it easier with handcarts, dollies, and an appliance cart to avoid bangs, bruises and back aches. Our tow behind trailers have ramp doors that you can roll a cart or walk into and out of, with minimal lifting. Our barn door trailers have about a 12 inch lift which is still very easy to navigate in and out of. All trailers have side doors for quick and easy access, and rear stabilizers to prevent tilting.
