[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What specifically are they helping with, since you have hired movers?[/quote]

NP here.  When we last moved, we had movers, but it was nice to have someone that could run to the supermarket if we need something that we hadn't planned on, to run out to grab lunch for everyone.  To go and move the cars that might be blocking a moving truck or a ton of little things that came up. This way we could focus on working with the movers, making sure that they packed the right things, that boxes were labeled, or when unloading which labeled boxes went in which room.  We used colored tape to match rooms, but sometimes we had problems communicating with the moving team, since on the team leader spoke English.  I remember sending my family member out to buy pizzas for the mover crew and later sending them to the Lowe's to get something we needed for one of the bathrooms.  And were able to move our car to a space further away from the house so that the moving truck had room to back and forth into the driveway.

OP may not need any of these, but you never know what stuff happens during a move.  And having someone around to tell to go and do X so that you could focus on coordinating with the movers was helpful for us.[/quote]
