Pack and label all your belongings in advance and do not wait for your movers, if packing is not part of the agreement. Make a list of items that you need to take along and classify them into categories. Pack all goods from the same category together, such as all perishable items together, or things with similar handling instructions in one box. Make sure to label all boxes with all the contents that it has and mark every box for any special handling instructions that you want the movers to follow.
Take or Buy
When you transport your goods from one place to another, the service providers charge you according to the volumetric weights. That means that some things might be more expensive to transport than others. Carry out a cost-benefit analysis if it is more economical to buy a new replacement or stick to transporting the old one. For example you might be charged $200 to move a large couch, however, you can get a good replacement from a garage sale in $100.Moreover, you can sell off your own one at a garage sale and make extra bucks.
