I hate moving, I mean really hate moving.... So I am thinking of hiring a moving company to assist little ole me with all of my really big shit. Any suggestions? Tips? It will be happening sooner than I think so I am trying to be pro-active and get ahead of the game.

AP: I'm with you on the hating moving thing. Yelp is always a great resource.

More importantly, what area are you relocating to?

A moving company is the way to go. Especially in heat like this.

I just moved, go on Yelp and search for movers. Get a couple of quotes. Best money I ever spent (except for an hr with nila). ~$300 for a couple of hours. Just get things packed before they come, you want them to spend the time moving boxes and furniture, not helping you pack

A real mover,
2 or 3 guys, truck, padding, equipment like refrigerator dolly...

Rates are state-regulated.

Looking for casual help?
Probably at U-Haul. No need to go to Home Depot.

Pack everything, label label label boxes.

U-Haul rates don't include mileage. $1/mi

Move the small and important stuff yourself. Leave the big items to the moving crew or the hired help.

I used Yelp the last time, lots of reviews so you can choose the right company for you.

Only moved the large items and it was done in 4 hours.

Last time I moved, I did the PODS thing. Had a two - you get them for like a month - took my time loading & unloading. They pick up and drop off. Simple.

If you do the uhaul/ mover route, play with the timing if you can. You should be able to get a better pricing in the middle of the month.
