I was living with two other roommates and we were moving into another city to live there together as well. Me and one roommate were planning ahead and got moving boxes, slowly sorting out stuff that can be thrown out, and started packing things way ahead of the moving date.
The other roommate couldn't be bothered by all of this. The day we were moving he started packing his things. We had rented a moving truck for that day and were able to move my and the prepared roommates' stuff to the new appartment first. Then we drove back to help lazy roommate. If all had been planned accordingly we wouldn't have had to drive back to pick up a second batch of household items - only for returning the moving truck, and then to travel back to the new place by train.
Unfortunately he had not anticipated that he would have needed moving boxes and it was way too late to organize some. We were moving all of his stuff with garbage bags. They are not sufficient to move things at all.
Moving lazy roommates' stuff turned out to last several more hours than anticipated. We almost exceeded the deadline for returning the moving truck to the rental place, which would have resulted in having to be charged for another day.
0/10 for moving with garbage bags instead of moving boxes.
