Stocking Up On Supplies You can find commercial moving supplies almost anywhere, from your local drugstores and supermarkets to moving storage buildings and truck rental places. Make sure to stock up on packing tape, boxes, box-cutters, labels, packing peanuts, and bubble wrap. Oftentimes, you can sell back any extra boxes or items you have left over.
Packing for College Moving to college is an exciting time for every inexperienced young person looking to leave the family fold. Due to this, would-be college students often go overboard when they’re deciding what to bring with them. When you’re moving to college, think about the bare essentials and what’s already been provided: a desk, mini-fridge, bed, bookcase, coat hangers, etc. Be sure to find out what is acceptable and what isn’t prior to moving in. For example, in most campuses microwaves aren’t allowed in the dormitories.
Save Money, Eat In Moving takes a lot of time, especially packing. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't take some time to cook your own food. Eating fast food can be expensive, particularly if you're doing it day after day. This is also the best time for you to eat all of your frozen food given that perishable items can't be transported by movers. Also, canned food is a pain to pack and transport. You should finish them off as well.
Number by Priority One way of prioritizing your items for the move is by assigning numbers from most important to least important. Mark a 1 on all of your boxes that contain items you need immediately or on a regular basis. You should mark a 2 on boxes that have items you won't be using right away, but possibly within a month or so such as books and movies. A 3 should be assigned to seasonal items, and 4 for the items meant for storage.

Their truck was 5 days late. It broke down in Colorado, then ended up in LA. They never called me to let me know where they were. I sat for 5 days on the floor waiting for my furniture. When they arrived many of my things had been left at other clients\\\\\\\' homes which were mixed on the truck with my property. Other things were totally destroyed. Aa couple of kids were driving the truck across country. They didn\\\\\\\'t have a clue what they were doing. The company refused to reimburse me for anything lost or broken nor to answer my many letters and phone calls. I was livid. DO NOT deal with these fools. I tried writing the State of Ill Commerce Commission and the BBB of IL. I got no support because I was no longer an IL resident. If you hire them (if they are still in business) you are nuts!!! 1.0000

They send unskilled workers who show up late, stand around smoking all day, damage your home and belongings and THREATEN YOU! The owners are just as bad, if not worse -- they are immoral, unscrupulous, unprofessional thieves that you should NOT ALLOW IN YOUR HOME! If I could have rated them in *negative* stars, I would have. Beware!!! 1.0000

From the first phone call through two semis of stuff moved (yup, two), Amenity was a pleasure to work with. When I got sick the week before the move, Sandy and Sarah came to my house to help with packing. They calmly came in and took care of everything! The moving crew was efficient, helpful and pleasant to deal with. All our furniture arrived safely and ended up where it was supposed to. I hope I don\'t have to move again any time soon, but would not hesitate to use Amenity again! Highly recommended. 5.0000

This move was contracted for Full pack, Load and Unload of an entire household. I should have asked who was going to be handling all of our worldly belongings but never gave it any thought until my worst nightmare was realized! Three men showed up that morning and I was stunned. The first one through the door introduced himself as the crew foreman and then ushered in two others. These next 2 guys looked as though they had been scooped up from a homeless shelter and offered a couple of bucks to help out in a pinch! One of them was smoking pot in my house at both ends of the move! I never caught the creep red handed but could smell it all over the house. The other reeked of an overnight bindger at the local gin mill. Think twice before you hire this crew. Professionalism is completely nonexistant or is this the new \"normal\"? 1.0000
