I'm in the process of getting ready for a cross country move and trying to make moving and packing the least stressful I can. What advice would you give?

I don’t have a car or family so I always hire someone as well, though you gotta be careful, around where I am scammers exist.

A reputable company you can tell by that they send someone over looking at all your stuff and details where you are moving to and then give you a quote. Which you can then accept or not and will not suddenly change. They also give you boxes in advance usually and if they destroy anything you get paid by their insurance.

Scammers instead come take all your stuff and then hold it hostage until you pay overpriced amounts. They are found at the Google Ads, luckily it didn‘t happen to me, but I know someone so I am extra careful.

I always take a move as a chance to rid myself of some burdens too, cause the more stuff you have to transport the more expensive.
