Customer Reviews

This book is great!

My relative passed away (out of town) and we weren't sure which way to go. Should we hire a mover or rent a U-haul? Found this book for $6.00 at an outlet store. Best $6.00 I ever spent. It explains how to determine if you should hire a professional mover, or do it yourself. Gives a breakdown of how many rooms of stuff you have vs how big a truck you should rent. (Too big a truck and your stuff is floating all over the place.) Also details how to pack the truck, , how to hire, what kinds of packing materials to use, what else you need to do before you pack it. The list goes on and on. Includes a checklist of things to do before you go and when you arrive, plus plenty of resources for packing materials.
