Pack it yourself
to "repack"it...at your cost! Lastly, purchase cartons from the mover (Often they will have used "stock" at a lesser cost. Ask about it.) In any event, moving cartons are made for specific jobs and sizes. Buying them (and asking which sizes are best to use )will keep your costs down while making your packing easier.
Historically about twenty five percent of any packing job is dish barrels, mirror cartons and wardrobes. You can do the rest, and perhaps save 30- 40% of the packing costs without killing yourself or breaking anything.
Plan and prepare early. On moving day, the movers will have no option but pack everything you have not dealt with, in order to get it safely to the new house. This will only add to your cost. Don't wait until the last minute!
