When my wife and I moved, we packed up the house over several weeks, decided what went, and what would be left.
We then rented the U-Haul recommended for a 3 bedroom apartment, picked two random Mexican volunteers, and paid them more than they asked for, for a very long day. It worked well.
But this did require having been well-organized before they came, having already found fragile stuff, and having our plan for how to protect those things.

- btilly 1y agoWe were downsizing from a house to an apartment. A professional crew absolutely cannot, for example, make decisions such as which books can't be kept because we're moving to a smaller space.
