Packing Services- What Should You Expect When You Move?

So, you’ve hired a team of movers. But if you don’t want to live with and out of boxes for weeks before the move, then get pros. Moving experts that offer packing services can pack up everything in your home in a day. They can come in and do that a day before the big move which can save you a ton of time and trouble.

Ready to get pros to undertake this task for you? What follows are a few of the things you can expect when you pay for packaging services.

Time estimate

Check the time estimate on how long it will take the movers to pack your belongings. How many people will come into your home to do the task? How many hours will it take? Make sure you’ve been honest with the inventory, though. Don’t try to sneak in any large items at the last minute. You may end up paying extra for that.

Specialty items

You’ll want to be clear about any specialty items or those that require extra-special protection, The Spruce. Ask the crew if they have the right packing tools and materials for those items. If you’ve got upholstery you don’t want to damage, do they have a plastic wrap to keep water and moisture off the furniture? What about your chandeliers, artwork, mirrors and other breakables? Talk to them and find out.

Appliances

Confirm if the company’s packaging services extend to appliances. You’re better off getting pros to pack up your refrigerator, stoves, washers, and dryers. That’s going to ensure your appliances still work when they arrive in your new home.

Speed

The best thing about hiring pros to pack up your household for you is the speedy results. It would take them considerably less time to get everything done than you could. They have the tools, know-how, and team to get everything done right and on-time.

Furniture disassembly

You may need the crew to do a partial or full disassembly of any heavy furniture you have for transport. Ask the team if this is covered in the moving and packing quote or if this will cost you extra. That way, you won’t be surprised when you get the bill.
