Give me all your best moving tips please..

Craigslist allows you to post "Curb Alerts" under Free stuff. You can set things outside on the curb by the street, and the bargain hounds will pick it bare within an hour.

You can also find inexpensive moving help on Craigslist. I hired a couple of girls to help me pack, and paid them $10 an hour, which they were happy to get. They were nice girls, too! I tipped them with some of my jewelry!

I also hired some strong young guys to help me move boxes onto and off my rental truck, both in Plymouth and in Michigan, where I was moving at the time. I hired four of them, so the work went fast! I paid them $20 an hour because moving is hard work!

I was VERY careful when labeling boxes. I put all my valuable stuff and jewelry in a box that I labeled "Bathroom Cleaning Supplies". I put my medications in a box labeled, "Eyeglass cleaner and wipes, extra eyeglasses."

I wasn't as careful with my books, and I lost ALL of my hardbound JRR Tolkien books in the move.

You can also rent a "POD", and carry things out to the Pod bit by bit, taking your time. Then the Pod company will send a truck when you are done and carry the Pod to your new home, where you can unpack it at your leisure.

I didn't do that. I was moving TWO households, so I scoped out the cheapest trucks available and ended up with Rider. I rented TWO trucks from them, and hired a retired police officer from Plymouth whose sideline was driving trucks long distance one way. All I had to do was pay him a base fee and give him a return airline ticket. I drove the second truck.
