Packing Guide

Introduction
When it comes to packing, many find it to be a hard task that requires some skills and a lot of common sense and responsibility. Packing household goods is a task that, depending on the property size, can be fast and simple for small homes but can be very long and hard when packing a large home or an estate.

Hire a Pro. Vs. Do It Yourself
If you are moving out of a large home or have limited time to finish your packing, consider hire your moving company to perform this task for you. Although it might seem like a simple task, be sure it is not so if you have limited time to complete it. Keep in mind that nobody likes his household goods to be damaged while in transit due to poor packing.

If you decide to hire your moving company to pack your household for you, be sure to specifically ask for this service as you book your move. If your move size is large (2 bedrooms or more), you may need to dedicate one day for packing and one day for loading and moving.

Every moving company offers two packing services:

1. A full packing service that includes wrapping and packing absolutely everything in your household.
2. A partial packing service that includes packing just the large, heavy, bulky items such as furniture, appliances, etc.

If your budget is tight and does not allow you the privilege of a packing service, doing your own packing can save you a considerable amount of money. However, if you do choose to pack the contents of your home yourself, read through this guide and learn how to pack each item safely and securely to prevent damage.

A self-pack can be an exciting experience for all the family if you secured enough time and you are packing just a few items every day. this is known as a great family experience and a great way to spend time with your kids while having them help you pack.

Please Note: Before you follow our guide for packing tips and instructions, make sure that you are aware of the insurance coverage: if you choose to pack yourself, you'll have to prove that any damage to your property was caused by the moving company.
