The movers came in and were very polite and efficient. They cared about our stuff a LOT more than we did. They made sure everything was meticulously wrapped and packed before it left the apartment, which we appreciated.
Use the wardrobe boxes. It was great to be able to pull things out of the closet, keep them on hangers and directly into a box that immediately went right onto the truck. They plastic-wrapped the mattresses to protect it.
The crew was fantastic about following directions and remembering the layout of the rooms, The beds were reassembled quickly and and they were cool about moving them into position after. They even re-arranged the dressers and two TVs after my roommate suggested a better layout.
Hiring professional movers was totally worth it. In just over five hours we had everything in the new place, and I was able to get to work putting my desk back together rather than have to deal with returning a truck or picking up pizza and beer for my friends. I love my friends, of course, but hiring movers was genius
