Pick 2: The Golden Rule of Moving (and Life)✌️

moving

There’s a saying Mr. Packhorse learned early in life — courtesy of his Aunt Marcy, now retired, but once proud owner of a sign company called Signs and Wonders:

“You can have it done really good, really fast, or really cheap...Pick 2.”

It’s a simple philosophy, but it holds up in just about every service industry—especially moving.


At Packhorse Moving, we embrace this truth because we believe in setting realistic expectations, delivering outstanding value, and always being honest with our clients.

When planning your next move, understanding the "Pick 2" rule can help you decide what matters most — and what you may need to compromise.


 

Option 1


Really Good + Really Fast = Not Cheap


If quality and speed are your top priorities, you're asking for premium service — and it comes at a premium price.


You want top-tier movers.

You want it done in a tight timeframe.

You don’t want anything scratched, lost, or mishandled.


When you choose this route, you're hiring experienced professionals, perhaps even during peak hours or weekends.


The crew may need to be larger to get the job done quickly and carefully.


You’re paying for skill, efficiency, and availability.


It’s the VIP treatment — and it’s worth every penny for customers who value time and peace of mind.


 

Option 2


Really Good + Really Cheap = Not Fast


You’re budget-conscious, but you still want quality — totally fair.


You want your stuff handled with care.

You're okay waiting a bit longer for the right crew.

You understand that good work takes time.


In this case, your move might happen during off-peak times or you might have to wait a few extra days for availability.


Your movers will still show up ready to do excellent work, but they may not be available on a tight, last-minute timeline.


This is a smart option for flexible movers who aren’t in a rush.


 

Option 3


Really Fast + Really Cheap = Not Good


Need it done yesterday, and you’re trying to save every penny?


It might get done quickly and on the cheap...

...but don’t expect premium service.


We don’t sugarcoat it: when moving is both fast and cheap, something’s gotta give.


Usually, it’s the quality.


You may end up with a rushed job, inexperience, damaged items — or all three.


That’s why Packhorse Moving avoids this combo and we’d rather lose a job than disappoint a client.


 

Why This Matters


Moving is already stressful!


Choosing the right combination of speed, quality, and cost helps reduce that stress.


Our job at Packhorse Moving is to guide you through the options and help you make the best decision based on your budget, timeline, and what you’re moving.


We’ll never upsell you on things you don’t need — but we will explain the trade-offs clearly.


Just like Aunt Marcy at Signs and Wonders used to say: “Pick 2.”
