Allowing a household moving company to pack your belongings isn't without risk, so before you hire a moving and packing firm be sure to check their credentials and references thoroughly. You will most likely have some items you don't want them to pack - make sure you pack them yourself, or tell them, clearly what you expect them to pack and not pack. Its always good to take an inventory before allowing anyone to come in and pack your belongings - and if you can, take photos.
Most companies provide insurance and are consummate professionals, but some can cause more damage than the cost of hiring them, and it's important to have everything in writing before the household movers touch a single piece of furniture or belonging. Their insurance should be carefully examined to make sure it covers everything - this will also give you an idea of what they will and won't pack - and what extras (such as mattress covering) they'll provide.
Moving companies can come in and pack your house in as little as two days - so it's important to know what to expect and when to expect them. You will want to stay and watch them packing (and possibly pack some of your own things) so make sure to allow for that when planning your move.
Relieve yourself of as many headaches as possible by carefully thinking things through and planning ahead. By investigating household moving companies and getting quotes from various firms you have a better idea of what to expect and what you should be willing to accept as an ok deal versus a great one.
