What affects packing service cost?
Packing prices depend on how much needs to be packed, the materials required, and the level of care involved.
Number of rooms
More rooms usually mean more boxes, more labour, and more time before the moving crew can load the truck.
Fragile or specialty items
Dishes, mirrors, art, glass, antiques, and electronics may need specialty materials or custom packing.
Supplies included
Boxes, paper, tape, mattress bags, wardrobe boxes, and protective wrap should be confirmed in the quote.
Moving scope
The size of the move, access conditions, travel distance, and crew requirements also affect the combined quote.

Frequently asked questions
Can movers pack and move everything on the same day?
For smaller moves, yes. For most moves, however, packing and moving are scheduled on two separate days. As a general rule, professional packing takes about as long as the move itself.
Do movers bring the packing materials?
Yes. Movers can bring all required packing materials and take back any unused supplies, so you pay only for what they use. Standard protective materials, such as moving blankets, are included at no extra charge with regular moving services. Please tell us in advance about any specialty items that may need custom packing so the movers can arrive properly prepared.
Can movers bring a few extra boxes on moving day?
Yes, of course. Simply ask one of our booking agents and we'll add the extra boxes to your quote.
