Words are inadequate

For silmaril's I got there in time for unload/unpack, and probably replaced other people who had to go earlier.

FYI, esp since you're just moving the one floor (and actually in general)

Two move strategies I've seen that make life /so/ much easier on the other end:

For the most part, don't pack clothes into suitcases. Instead,

1) in the closet, take handfuls of hangars, twist tie them together, then throw a big garbage bag over, poke the hangars through, and just beofore leaving, tie the bottom. Repeat. When you get to the new apartment, hang all the bags directly in the closet (hell, you can even number them if you care about the order) and pull the bags off at leisure.

2) drawers: take the drawers out, still full. Move the dresser/chest into the truck. Put the drawers into the dresser/chest, in the truck. Possibly tape shut, or pack other stuff around. Reverse order on destination.

Seems to save a lot of work both on the way out and the way in.

I don't see either of these often, but they were put to good use in the first couple moves I ever helped with.

OTOH, if there's a need to cull clothes, then it's disadvantageous to use the above strategies.
