I'm moving 10 minutes away from my current house. What's the best way to do it?

How much time do you have to move? I had a similar move and rented a uhaul and just did a bunch if trips over a couple of days. We did not pack very neatly because we essentially unpacked within hours of packing and we drove breakable items in our cars.

We did use boxes...not sure how some things would do in a bag, even on a short trip.

This is a good way to do it for a short distance. A buddy and I capped off a move like this by walking my couch to the new place.

There are various proficient packers in addition to movers companies in Delhi that are providing various companies to aid people on moving.

I recently saw an ad for one of those services right here on lets run. This is such a great site. I also found out that you must muddle cardamom to properly deconstruct a martini. Just one of the many things I learned from Lets Run. I really love this place.

If you move into a new house it would be a good idea to upgrade your maize mill too.

I don`t think moving everything by yourself is a good idea.

Shopping cart. Been there.

My wife and I did this a little over a year ago. And it was not bad at all.

We got a truck and had it for 2.5 days. We also got about 10 or 12 rubbermaid tubs. They were quite cheap at the hardware store (cheaper than boxes, actually). And we used a bunch of old t-shirts and towels for padding.

Here's how we did it. We first moved as many of the big items that made sense and set them up in the new house. That took less than the first day. On the second day my wife spent most of the morning at the old place just filling bins up with random stuff. I was the truck loader and runner and I'd drop them off at the new place, make the best guess as to what room they would go in and basically just dump everything in a corner. Then I'd take the empty bins back to refill and keep going. By afternoon my wife was at the new place starting to organize the rooms a bit and I just kept shuttling back and forth in the truck and grabbing whatever seemed fastest and easiest in the moment.

We were not that careful with the packing, but we weren't dumb about it, either. Basically the stiff bins offered a lot of protection and then we were liberal with the towels and t-shirts. I don't think we broke anything.

I couldn't imagine hiring a moving company to do this. Maybe if you have crazy amounts of stuff and tons of excess income. For us, it was actually a fun (but busy and tiring) weekend.
