Types of Boxes
The advantage of doing your own packing is cost savings and having the opportunity to purge the things you no longer want. Movers, however, cannot be responsible for your packing skills. If there is no external damage to a container packed by its owner, there will be no liability for damage to the contents. If you have items of value, you should consider having the movers pack them and be sure to select Full Value Protection before the move begins.
