We have made two cross-country moves and both times we packed ourselves. We were cautioned by the moving company estimater that we would be insured, but the final word would be up to the actual moving men upon inspection of our boxes.
He took one look at our boxes on moving day and said there was no problem as the boxes were packed very tight and were very solid. So, yes you can be insured if you do the packing, but you should check with the specific moving company. We used Allied.
