Other General Moving Tips

Take pictures of everything you can so when the van is unloaded you know what you have and what kind of condition it was in before it left you home to arrive at you new home. If you do find problems take pictures of that also. Record serial numbers.
Items that can't be moved with the mover include: flammable items, combustible items, aerosol cans, hazardous materials, gasoline, paints, ammunition and explosives, jewelry…
Pack books flat, not standing on end (which may cause damage to the spines). Books are extremely heavy, so don't pack too many in one box.
Don't forget to be environmentally friendly! Flatten all your moving boxes for recycling. Many moving companies will pick them up after your move.
Things that you have a hard time parting with, but which will inevitably be stored in a garage, storage facility, or shed after the move should be packed in stackable containers that are rodent and dust proof.
Upon arrival at your new home, let your PC "acclimate" itself to room temperature before plugging it in.
Drain the gas and oil from power equipment (lawn mowers, snow blowers, cars that are going with the mover, etc.)
The last week of the month in May, June, July and August are the busiest weeks of the year. If you must move during these weeks, contact National well in advance and reserve your move day. It's not unusual for these weeks to book up 4 to 6 weeks in advance.
