make sure you have enough supplies for them

to use.

Tape

Markers

Paper gets heavy. Files and paperwork should

go in small to medium sized boxes. Books

should always go in small boxes.

Most likely you will hire professional

movers to handle your boxes, whether or

not they pack them.

recommendations.

someone from the company look at

your location to give you a proper

estimate.

predetermine where

everything will go.

movers.

There might be a permit involved, or you might need to have a
