Relocation allowance or moving allowance (or both)?
If it is an either/or choice then you have to know what amounts are on offer and what the cost of the move will be. You then decide whether you take the money and do the moving work yourself.
I have no idea what a relocation allowance is supposed to cover but I'll take bets that it varies from company to company.
I've been used to having everything moved subject to getting 3 competitive quotes AND an allowance for settling in which is supposed to cover things which couldn't necessarily be moved from the old to the new home - curtains is the oft-quoted example though, of course, you can spend the money how you want.
