One easy way is to check with as many Movers & Packers as you can and then compare. Those people will give you a figure. The break up for that would be: 1. Truck rent(Will vary depending upon the size of the truck and distance). Most M&P have their own trucks but others who are only contractors will hire it from someone else. 2. Material Cost(Required for packaging your goods like cartoons, ropes, stationary etc.) 3. Labor Cost(Generally 3-5 who will be responsible in loading and unloading.(Again will depend on the goods) P:S 1-2 will accompany the truck driver to the destination where the goods will unload. The labor cost will be inclusive of Loading Charges, Food & Refreshment and Unloading Charges) 3. Finally the contractor's commission. This is where the M& P negotiate. However its a market which is seasonal and competitive, so most will be desperate to get the job done.

Look it is extremely difficult to give you any exact figure of packing and moving charges of any professional packers and movers. It really varies movers to movers. But a packers and movers charge you for providing you packing materials, the weight of the shifting materials, and the distance they have to cover for transporting your goods.
