Packing help for your move
We accept requests for packing help as part of a move. The quote should say which items are packed, who supplies materials and how fragile or valuable goods will be handled.
Describe what needs packing
Estimate the number of rooms and boxes, and call out anything fragile, unusually shaped or valuable. Share what is already packed and what still needs attention.
- Rooms and approximate box count
- Fragile items and any special instructions
- Items that must stay with you
Confirm labour and materials
Ask whether packing labour, boxes and protective materials are included or charged separately. The quote should also state the timing and any limits on what can be packed.
Keep essential and valuable items separate
Carry medication, identity documents, cash and anything irreplaceable yourself. Do not assume that a packing request changes the terms for a transport booking.
Frequently asked questions
Are packing materials included?
Only if the quote says they are. Confirm boxes, wrapping and any additional charges before booking.
Can every item be packed?
List special, fragile or restricted items in your request and get acceptance and handling instructions confirmed first.
