STRONG as an OX and TWICE as SMART
There was a really nice post about local movers on the first page, but I still have a few questions.

I'm about to move from one apartment to another, and I've realized how woefully unprepared I am.

First, I don't even know where to get boxes. I tried getting them at a nearby Publix and two liquor stores -- they had nothing to give me. I need to pack up a kitchen and bedroom, with the bulkiest thing that needs to be boxed being a stupidly large collection of DVDs and books. Where should I go to get a few large boxes, some bubble wrap, and packing tape? Or would it be cheaper to have them pack up my poo poo for me? I imagine it'd take me thrice as long as it'd take two professional movers...

Also, I need to hire some help to move my bed, chest of drawers, desk, etc. Does anyone have experience hiring a company for this off of Craigslist? I've had nightmares of loading up a truck and having all of my worldly possessions hauled off, never to be seen again. If Craigslist is a terrible idea, what'd be the best way to find a reputable moving company that doesn't want over $100 an hour?

Edit: You guys actually got boxes at hospitals? gently caress, maybe I'll check tomorrow, but I don't have high hopes.
