Relocating can be so stressful and hectic. There are so many people to call, so much information to keep in mind, and so many odds and ends to take care of. Hiring movers to help you can take a lot of the load off your shoulders so that you don't feel too thinly stretched. However, movers can't do everything for you, so it's important to know what kinds of things you can ask from them.
Some movers will only offer transportation, without packing and wrapping services. However, there are many that offer these secondary moving services (at extra cost to you, of course), so if you want others to do this job for you, then find a company that offers this package.
Some movers will even systematically organize and label your things, so that you don't lose track of which box contains which items. This will be a big help to you once you begin to unpack in your new residence.
Also, if you have some extra items that you do not immediately need or have space for in your new residence, you can ask your prospective moving company if they offer storage services. This way, you won't have to worry about your extra stuff until you are ready to get them back.
