Number one rule: DO NOT TRUST ANYONE WITH YOUR HARD DRIVES BUT YOURSELF.
Take them out of the computer, and put them in a safe place with lots of padding etc. Technically they should be OK because the heads aren't moving at all, but any jarring (really, a moving company will not care at all about your stuff) could lead to data loss. When I moved recently, I packed mine in a box with paper and bubble wrap and just left them on the floor in the backseat of my car.
My hard drives are A-OK four months later.
