Packing services

Glassware, china, electronics and clothing are packed with the right materials, and every box is labeled with its room and contents. Unpacking gets easier.

Packing service means wrapping and boxing your belongings so they arrive without damage. The crew comes to your home and packs it room by room.

You can hand us the whole home or only the fragile items. If you would rather pack yourself, we can tell you which materials to use and how.

Process

Packing room by room

  1. 01

    Material count

    We estimate the number of boxes, rolls of bubble wrap, stretch wrap and tape from your rooms and inventory.

  2. 02

    Dishes, glasses and fragile items

    Plates and glasses stand upright in dish-pack boxes with dividers, each piece wrapped on its own.

  3. 03

    Clothing and linens

    Hanging clothes go in wardrobe boxes. Folded items go into clean boxes.

  4. 04

    Electronics

    Original boxes are used when you have them. If not, items are packed in foam and bubble wrap with corner protection.

  5. 05

    Labeling

    Every box is marked with its room, its contents and notes such as "fragile" or "do not stack".

Common mistakes

  • Packing books in large boxes. The weight breaks the bottom.
  • Mixing fragile items with soft clothing in the same box without separation.
  • Not writing the contents on the box, so every box has to be opened to find things.
  • Leaving empty space in the box, which lets items shift and break.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Is packing done before moving day?

Usually it is done the day before. Loading goes faster on moving day and the house is calmer.

Are packing materials included in the price?

Yes. Boxes, bubble wrap, stretch wrap and tape are included in the packing price and not billed separately.

Are boxes I pack myself covered?

Valuation coverage applies to damage during the move. Damage caused by how a box was packed may be treated differently, and the written estimate explains how.
