Let us take the stress out of packing with our professional services
We handle everything from start to finish..
Choose which items or rooms you want us to pack.
For delicate, bulky, or high- value items.
Use the original packaging if available, as it’s designed to protect the item. If not, wrap electronics in anti-static packing materials, and secure them with bubble wrap. Pack cords separately, labeling each one to match its device for easy setup later.
Yes, labeling is crucial for an organized move. Clearly write the contents of each box and the room it belongs to. You can also add priority labels (e.g., "Open First") for boxes that contain essential items.
Pack liquids in sealed plastic bags to prevent leaks. Use sturdy containers and avoid overfilling them. Place these items upright in boxes and cushion them with towels or bubble wrap to avoid spills.
Avoid packing hazardous materials like gasoline, paint, aerosols, or other flammable items. Check with your moving company for a complete list of prohibited items. Perishable food and plants are also best transported separately.
Yes! Our Complete Packing & Unpacking Service offers professional packing by experienced movers. We provide high-quality materials and handle everything, so you can focus on other aspects of your move.
For storage, use durable plastic bins or heavy-duty boxes. Wrap items in moisture-resistant materials, and avoid packing perishable items or anything prone to damage from temperature changes. Label boxes clearly and organize them by category for easy access.
Moving is a great time to declutter. Consider donating, selling, or recycling items you no longer use. This reduces the number of boxes to pack and helps you start fresh in your new space.
Yes, you can request partial packing services for specific items, such as fragile goods, electronics, or large furniture. Our Packing Services are flexible to suit your needs.
Clothes can be packed in both boxes and suitcases. Wardrobe boxes are ideal for hanging items, while folded clothes fit well in standard boxes or luggage. Suitcases with wheels can double as storage and make transportation easier for heavier items.
Start by packing non-essential items (decorations, books, out-of-season clothing) well ahead of time. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to in your new home. Keep a list or use color-coded labels to ensure you know where everything is at a glance.
No, we can supply all necessary materials as part of our packing service.
Ideally, begin packing non-essential items 2–4 weeks before your move.
To protect fragile items like glassware, mirrors, and electronics, wrap each piece individually in bubble wrap or packing paper. Use sturdy boxes, and fill any empty spaces with packing peanuts or soft materials to prevent shifting during transit. Be sure to label these boxes as “Fragile” so movers handle them with extra care.
An essentials box should include items you’ll need immediately after moving, such as toiletries, medications, a change of clothes, basic kitchenware (plates, utensils), important documents, chargers, and snacks. Keep this box easily accessible.
The ideal timeline depends on the size of your home. For larger homes, start at least a month before your move. Smaller homes and apartments may only require two weeks. Packing a few boxes a day can help avoid last-minute stress.
It’s best to empty drawers, especially if they contain fragile or heavy items. This reduces the weight of the furniture and prevents items from shifting during transit. For lightweight items like clothing, consult your movers—they may allow you to leave them in place.
Use smaller, sturdy boxes for heavy items like books, kitchen appliances, or tools. Reinforce the bottom of the box with extra tape, and avoid overpacking to prevent the box from breaking.
