Throw anything away that You have been thinking about! I moved "Stuff" 7 times in 7 Years!
Mark Boxes what is in them or lose them.
If a moving company wont insure boxes You pack screw them. Pack very important items for safe keeping.
I have heard Horror Stories about some of them. Be there to help keep an eye out but dont be a pain in the rear. It really makes them pissed even more.
Be kind and act worried about Your Possetions, the older Movers know what You are going through.
Some of the helpers will go ovey, fragigle, how far will it go when I throw it.
Even though You have Insurance, then try to collect on it!
GOOD LUCK!
