The stress of moving house is considered to be one of the worst types that you can suffer and it is therefore worth considering paying a small amount to have some of this work taken off your hands. Packing up your existing home is not a small job and it makes sense to get professional help.
The first thing you should do is to talk to your moving company about its packing service. Almost all moving companies will offer a service where they will come in on the day of the move, pack up your things and take them to your new home ‒ all you have to do is drive to your new place. You may be concerned that this will cost you a lot extra; however, you will probably be surprised at how cheap this service is when you compare it to the time that it will take for you to pack everything up.
Moving companies train their staff to pack and handle all your possessions. They will know exactly how your antique mirrors and glassware should be packed so that they reach their destination in one piece, and they may also be able to offer a full unpacking service at the other end so that you can simply walk in and sit down!
A big advantage of this type of service is that your professional moving company will not be in your home for weeks at a time packing random boxes here and there, as all the packing will be done in one day.
