You can purchase cartons from your mover or from any packaging store.
Purchasing boxes from the moving company, however, can be very expensive.
Before you start packing, determine the items you want to throw away, give away or sell.
You will save money and have less to pack and unpack. Also, this is the perfect time to unload unwanted items or call a local charity to remove items for you. And remember donating goods is a tax credit.

If you decide to do your own packing or partial packing, remember that the moving company is not liable for damage to boxes packed by the customer.
For the safety of your items, tell the movers which boxes you packed. They are required to inspect each box prior to shipping.
The driver has the right to refuse to accept any carton that may be improperly packed. If the driver has to re-pack cartons that the customer has packed, additional charges will apply.
You can save a lot of money if you do the bulk of the packing on your own.
Limit yourself to non-fragile items such as books, linens, clothing and shoes; and replaceable items such as plates, dishes (not fine china or expensive silverware), and small kitchen appliances. These items will be cheaper to replace in case of damage as opposed to hiring workers for the extra labor. Leave the furniture, mattresses, and heavy appliances to be packed by the mover.
