Moving your goods yourself can save you a great deal of money; here are ways to save on moving hassles as well.
Steps:
Take an inventory of your possessions. Use this list to determine the number of boxes and the size of the truck you will need for your move.
Interview prospective truck rental companies, and ask what kinds of services and insurance coverage they offer. Be sure to check the quality of the company's rental vehicles as well.
Rent the appropriate size vehicle (trailer, truck or van). Most rental companies provide free guides to choosing a vehicle size.
Ask about the rental vehicle's pick-up and drop-off points; arrange the drop-off point to be as close to your destination as possible.
Make necessary travel arrangements, such as hotel reservations for a move that will take longer than a day, or separate plane or car arrangements if any family members will be traveling separately.
Rent or purchase appropriate moving aids, such as pry bars and appliance dollies for heavier furniture and appliances.
Sell or donate unwanted items - this will reduce your load and help make the moving process much easier.
Arrange to have family members or friends help you load your belongings at your old home and unload once you reach your destination.
Tips:
Good packing materials and equipment are worth paying for.
Think carefully about what you really need to take with you and what might be cheaper to replace or rent.
Find help! Friends and family are an invaluable resource during this hectic time.
Warnings:
Consider your health - don't take on more than you can handle.

Personally answering the phone and replying to emails, will cost you valuable time that could be spent in more profitable ways. If you offer an 800 number, every minute spent on the phone decreases the profits you generated per sale regardless of whether you are talking to those who have made a purchase or not.
It goes without saying that if you have to pay someone else to provide customer service by phone or email, your profits are reduced even further.
So, the question is? how do we utilize the technological advances available on the internet to decrease our time spent on customer support both on the phone and in email?

Although most people never expect to be charged with a crime, there can come a time when that can happen. These types of charges can range form warrants being issued for aid traffic tickets to individuals filing lawsuits against you. The best time to prepare for being charged with a crime is before it ever happens.
