I would never allow somebody else to pack my things. I just cannot imagine a stranger touching my socks, my books...any of my belongings.
TBH, until we moved two years ago I didn't know that movers were offering packing too. Moreover, big companies were uninterested in us when they realised that we do our packing.
However, loading, moving and unloading I would not be able to do myself even if I wanted to. The key is to find good movers.

You again.
Once again, you make a distinction between smoky and peaty.
When I am in duty free in December, if they have Bowmore 18, I am going to get it, so I can compare & contrast it with Talisker 18.
