          That's why I usually hire movers and tip them well - in cash and drinks/pizza while they are doing the work. :D

            Yeah, movers are bloody expensive but soooo worth it, IMO. And if they aren't an option for people then there is always the old "bribe your friends to help you using beer" trick, which I have used...

And if they aren't an option for people then there is always the old "bribe your friends to help you using beer" trick, which I have used a few times in my youth when moving apartments... though I wouldn't recommend trying that if you're moving an entire house worth of stuff. :P

              I used to do that when I couldn't afford movers. I still pack everything myself, so when I hire movers it's 3 guys and a truck for a day - load, drive, unload, usually takes less than five hours...

              I used to do that when I couldn't afford movers. I still pack everything myself, so when I hire movers it's 3 guys and a truck for a day - load, drive, unload, usually takes less than five hours for the whole affair unless there's a lot of drive time involved. That's usually about $500 and I usually tip each mover $100 because it's a hard job and doesn't pay that well.

              I find the worst part about moving with that stuff outsourced is throwing away things. Stuff just tends to pile up and you don't really notice how much crap you've collected until you've filled two full sized dumpsters while packing. :P
