Most moving companies offer packing services but this is also something you can do yourself if you have the time. Although, it might be easily to outsource this services to a reputable moving company.

If you do choose to pack your items yourself, make sure everything is properly packed/labelled and fragile items are properly padded.

Never leave the packing part of the move on the final day –it creates a lot of distress and burden. Gather all the supplies, boxes, tools, and things you need to pack to get the packing done before time. Make sure that you only keep the necessary stuff unpacked for usage.
