If you engage professional movers, they will do almost everything from a - z ... from packing, moving and unpacking.

If you just rent a lorry, then you require to do own packing plus hire few workers to load and unload. Lorry driver is just to drive the lorry.

You can also diy if you have a mpv provided the things are not too bulky. Some may need to dismantle for ease of moving. I have moved WM, 3 seater medium sofa, king bed frame, dining table etc. You require a helper to do that.

There are few of them in google. Their rates depend on what level of services require. From standard to premium 😃.

Don't be surprised that their services are highly in demand and waiting period can be at least two weeks for the good one.

If you moving from house to condo, do check early that those things can masuk the lift. Otherwise you be stuck during the moving day. Using the stairs will be extra charge 😂

Here you go:

this is one of it.

https://www.ikea.com/my/en/p/dundergubbe-mo...brown-90477050/

but then you can search 'box' in the column and get different kinds of boxes

Looks a bit small for house moving to fit most stuff. Not cheap somemore.

Engaging a house moving company is super convenient right now..

Doesn't cost and arm and leg too.. They'll pack the items for you and also unpack it for you.. Had a good experience when i moved house earlier this year

Icic. Mind sharing how much u spent and any company to recon?

Yea but then again you could ask the mover ,they might be charge slightly cheaper,
Anyway, corrugated carton is not cheap, depending on size & its thickness

Ic. Indeed. Can tell that the price is not cheap.

For those all-in-one moving service, they will pack for us is it? So they will prepare the box for this? So actually I do not need to buy the box rite?

no, last i moved was we packed our own, then they helped to move the boxes.
you may check with them if need pack/unpack services , at additional cost.

Icic. Ok. I will check it out. It is a painful process to move.

I think I will make use of this chance to pack those I will never use into certain boxes and will not unpack them after the move.

Only unbox those items that I will use on day to day basis.
