Packing

Packing takes longer than most people expect. We offer full or partial packing before your move and unpacking at the other end, with boxes and materials supplied.

Moving boxes labelled by room stacked in a lounge room, with a packer working in the background

What's included

  1. 01Full or partial packing of your belongings before the move
  2. 02Boxes, tape, and packing paper supplied
  3. 03Unpacking service at your new place if you want it
  4. 04Careful, labelled packing so things end up in the right room

Who it's for

  • People short on time before moving day
  • Kitchens, wardrobes and fragile items you'd rather not pack yourself
  • Anyone who wants unpacking done at the other end

How it works

  1. Step 1: Tell us what's moving

    Get an estimate online in a couple of minutes, or call us. Tell us about stairs, lifts and parking so the range is right.

    • Instant estimate online, or over the phone
    • Reference number emailed straight away
  2. Step 2: We plan the move

    We confirm the date, the truck and the crew by phone or SMS, then send a booking confirmation, and reminders 7 days and 1 day out.

    • Truck and crew assigned to your booking
    • Booking confirmation by email
    • Reminder 7 days out
    • Reminder 1 day out
  3. Step 3: The crew loads and drives

    Furniture gets blankets and straps. Beds and flat-pack come apart if you've asked. You pay for the time the job actually takes.

    • Blankets and straps on furniture
    • Beds and flat-pack taken apart if you ask
    • Charged on actual time
  4. Step 4: Unloaded where you want it

    Boxes go into the rooms they're labelled for and furniture is placed, not dumped by the door. Then we settle up on actual time.

    • Boxes into the rooms they're labelled for
    • Furniture placed, not left by the door
    • Settle up on actual time

What affects the price

How much is moving
More to carry takes longer, and bigger loads get the 10 tonne truck and an extra mover.
Stairs and lifts
Every flight without a lift adds carrying time at that end.
Parking
A long walk from the truck to the door adds time. A clear spot out the front saves it.
The drive
Time on the road between your two addresses is part of the job.
Extras
Packing, unpacking and furniture assembly are shown separately in your estimate.
