I worked in a family moving business growing up (and continue to pick up the odd job when I'm home). I've worked with various other moving companies as well.
I have to say that the quality of this move was unreal by American standards.
I was extremely impressed that they are able to employ staff solely dedicated to arranging the home. I'm still trying to work out how they are able to use a crew that large and keep things economical.
There were also several pieces of packing material I hadn't seen before. Some of which looked reusable, which is a good thing to see. There is a fair amount of waste in the profession.
