Plan the packing order
Identify what should be packed first, what must remain accessible and how cartons should be labelled for the destination.
Packing and moving can be quoted together, but the scope should still show what happens before, during and after move day. This makes it easier to compare the labour, materials, transport and placement included in each quotation.
The price examples on this page belong to the jobs described. Your quotation will depend on your inventory, access, packing needs and destination requirements.
Identify what should be packed first, what must remain accessible and how cartons should be labelled for the destination.
Photograph fragile contents, loose parts, furniture finishes and electronics that may need special wrapping or handling.
Share floor levels, lift bookings, stairs, corridor turns, loading distances and permitted working hours for the origin and destination.
The quotation should make the moving portion understandable, including the declared load, addresses and any additional stop or access requirement.
If you need unpacking, assembly or placement, ask for it to be listed. “Packing with moving” does not automatically define every destination task.
Added items, changed access, a new date or extra destination work should be agreed before move day so the final scope remains clear.
You want packing and transport planned in one quotation and need to understand how the two parts work together.
See full-service packing for most loose contents or partial packing for selected help.
