Labelling boxes clearly by room and by rough contents, rather than just numbering them, saves considerable time on the other end. Writing a short note of anything fragile or particularly important on the outside of the box, in addition to inside packing, helps whoever is carrying it treat it with appropriate care. Keeping a single running list of what has gone into which box, even a simple handwritten one, is far easier than trying to remember months later where something ended up.
