    Good article, but I feel I must add my .02 cents on the packing section. Unless your budget completely prohibits you, opt for full packing when you book your move and LET THE PROFESSIONALS DO IT! After watching the movers pack up my household, it was obvious there is an art to the wrapping and packing which comes with experience. My first good decision, going with IntlMOVE. My second, taking their advice on FULL PACKING
