They ...Love the army "hurry up and wait". They will not insure anything you have packed. Which is why they will unpack and repack everything.<br />I have been through 2 moves, its best (in my opinion) to let them pack the stuff and then you do the unpack yourself they will sometimes off the unpack but SAY NO, all they do is take everything out of boxes and leave it in the middle of the floor, its a mess (learned from experience) but sit back and relax its a pretty cool thing if you can just let go... I know its tough..lolRandom Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109757741210625162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-13446970651485917862009-09-14T15:58:41.185-04:002009-09-14T15:58:41.185-04:00Can't wait to hear how this move goes for you!...Can't wait to hear how this move goes for you! No advice from me except to keep a good balance of calm and excitement. As I've never been through one of these I have no experience to lend. :/ Best of luck though! :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511570901260704079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-70497188837367386302009-09-10T08:23:46.094-04:002009-09-10T08:23:46.094-04:00Make sure you break down any furniture that can be...Make sure you break down any furniture that can be broken down i.e. book shelf you bought from Wal-Mart. I had a book shelf I had bought from target and decided to keep it up for the move. It arrived smashed, not a big deal since the gov't sent me a check for the damage, but if you have something that can be broken down that might be hard to replace or you don't want to see broken do it. My computer desk, while very sturdy I broke down because I didn't want to have to replace it. <br /><br />You'll want to find someone who can be there for those 2 days. In case you need to run some where or need someone to go get something, you always want someone at the house while their packing for obvious reasons. Having a second person available is a tremendous help. Something my mom instilled in me with movers, was that I always had drinks and bought lunch for them, usually pizza. It's a nice gesture to the people handling your stuff.County Mountiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468268887540455051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-35949546821937061032009-09-10T02:11:03.014-04:002009-09-10T02:11:03.014-04:00PCS moves are easy, as easy as you make them.

If you're driving to your new destination, just put them in a plastic bin in your car (cleaning supplies, etc). They come in and pack and you just sit and watch. You may cringe every once in a while but just keep repeating "full replacement value". You'll be fine, I would be anxious too! And remember- it's just stuff- its not like they could damage your husband:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517159511952116049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917212620557702461.post-2155757232165398632009-09-09T20:28:15.450-04:002009-09-09T20:28:15.450-04:00So they're packing you?
