BUT the onus is still on you personally as regards goods accompanying and goods to follow. Have a good read of the wiki on this here:

Re: To self-pack or not to self-pack?
Hello and Welcome to BE!
Those pro/con lists are super useful, thank you!
We moved from a small, approx 70sqm, 2 bed terraced house, and took some of the furniture - queen and bunk beds (all of which were dismantled and packed flat) a couple of wardrobes and a chest of drawers, but mostly books, clothes records and CDs, and there were only two of us, and we took 90% of a 20ft container, so IMO you will have your work cut out to get the contents of a three bed house into a 20ft container.
The thread seems kind of split between do it/ don't do it (which is to be expected, you've all had different experiences). We've got survey number 3 coming in about 15 minutes, which will hopefully give us a few straight answers (I won't hold my breath though).
You guys have been really helpful, thank you!
