hi !
where did you end up deciding on to move ?

We have moved 6 times in the past 2.5years. To be honest if it is local move then i will pack slowly over a few weeks and pay someone to move (our last local move was $600) for 40m3.

The interstate moves were about $3k and to pay them to pack (esp for insurance reasons) was worth the $800 or so they charge.

Check your insurance as you will find it is very limited and you are advised to get private transit insurance. We got it for the interstate moves which i am glad as they cracked a dining setting and glass panel which was quickly replaced.
