I love the answer you have already received, which pretty much covers the waterfront ! I would only add that you should go with professional, licensed movers, and not try to save bucks by using some well deserving, well meaning locals, who can bungle the job easily.
It once happened that we did just that. Driving up the freeway in Los Angeles, they were ahead of us, with our mattress tied to the top of their vehicle. We watched in horror, as the ropes loosened, and our brand new mattress flew off the roof , landed smack in the lane of traffic, and as we drove by, we saw it crushed to smithereens by on coming cars !
Go with professionals. Goodl luck !

It depends on where you live. You have to do your research, get references, check prices and look for good and bad reviews. It's tough as you can get taken for a ride. The services available to you that are good are different from area to area. There are some small companies that are usually good and some to avoid.
If you go with a major name such as Allied for example they have a reputation that they have built up but a major moving company is ultra expensive but can be better for peace of mind. Never sign with anyone who doesn't do a head to toe appraisal in your home and sees everything you need to move and provides a quote and breakdown. People who don't do this are usually out to charge you a lot and run the clock out.
