Movers will pack for you... but they'll charge you dearly. For my move to Indy, I packed non-breakables and let the movers pack the stuff that I wanted them to be responsible for if it broke. Worked well... but I was being reimbursed for that move, so I calculated what I could afford to have the movers pack and still stay inside my moving allowance.
When I moved from Indy to the new house, I packed a ton, then friends helped me pack a ton more, then the movers (who were really loader/unloaders, since I had rented a Packrat) loaded all the furniture, boxes, and random Stuff into the Packrat for the trip up the road. Much cheaper. Much much cheaper. But I couldn't have done it without Barry and Sally and Michael and Li, and then Jen on the unpacking end (she helped shelf-paper and then organize the kitchen, which got it liveable much faster than if I'd done it all myself).
