No one deserves to put up with this kind of behavior from anyone, let alone from whom people you've paid to move your stuff. I like how straightforward your tips are, McKeatings! Moving is already stressing as it is, you don't need to add the mover's attitude to your list of worries.

Purge, sort and ask friends to come to your place on pack out day and hover over the packers so that they make detailed lists of what goes in each box- I can't express how important that is. BUT more than anything I would recommend you hook up with Live l<br />Lines- I think (not sure) that this is a yahoo group type of set up. The people commenting and sharing their wisdom and experiences there are usually a big help on everything FS.

My experience with packers has been that generally speaking, the US-side moving companies tend to be more problematic than the ones overseas.

We had all that in a pile and just asked them to used it around dishes, etc. when possible. The packers were great about it. I also agree with the 'ask for help and have as many eyes on the job as possible'. We also have prepacked our knickknacks in tubs with bubblewrap that we save when we unpack or prepack appliances back into the original packaging that we had saved. Liquor boxes with the divisions are great, as is using baskets and and hideyhole thing you are bringing with you. <br /><br />The best advice is truly to purge and have a separate room for UAB, a room to shut/lock all your pre-packed suitcases with all your carry ons and paperwork and documents that you will carry with you or mail to post right before you leave, and a separate room for storage. It is a lot of pre-moving yourself but organization ahead helps a lot. Just remember, you will get more confident with experience, not every pack out is the same, celebrate the small things. In the end, it will arrive at post and you will have to unpack and deal with it then if it didn't get done before. Not always a bad thing.<br /><br />In the end it really is just stuff and a great exercise on materialistic detachment. You WILL come out stronger in this!

Something good must come from our 36 hours with the wheeler/dealer hustler movers. I will try to email Hardship Homemakers, thanks for the idea on that.
