@haultips,
Cartons from the liquor store- they're quite sturdy. Cartons from the grocery/supermarket- quite a variety of sizes and usually sturdy.
Newspapers- wrap your glass and plate ware individually.
Bubble wrap- good for wrapping breakables and once you've moved and unpacked it'll provide hours of fun as you break/burst all the bubbles.
Hire only a licensed mover or moving company. Check them out to make sure they are legitimate. Check with the Better Business Bureau to find if there are any problems.
