How to Find the Best Packing Service

Posted on 22/08/2014

There’s many different jobs that need to be taken care of when conducting a removal, you’ve got to raise funds, plan every aspect of the move out, figure out how you’re going to make the journey, and how to make sure that all of your goods are transported. But, the most important of these jobs is the packing. A good packing job is essential to the success of any move, because you’ll want all of your items to arrive in one piece. It doesn’t matter how good the removal company is, how well you planned every other aspect of the move. If the packing job is not up to snuff, then all of your items are at risk of being damaged or broken beyond repair.

How do you make sure that the packing gets done properly? Well, you could do it all yourself, put in all of that time and effort to make sure that everything is wrapped properly and securely, but this takes time and effort that is probably better spent elsewhere. What I would recommend is a good packing company.

A good, solid packing service will pack pretty much anything you need transporting. From the valuable and fragile china, the big, bulky furniture pieces to gardening equipment and machinery. A packing service isn’t just restricted to home removals too. Office removals can benefit greatly from these companies – office removals are usually very hectic, and when things are moving at a mile a minute things can get overlooked. Packing services won’t overlook this important part of the move.

To reap all of the benefits of a packing service, you’ve first got to find not only a good one with a competitive price point, but also one that can provide the services you require. There’s many different jobs, for example, packing up a garage is a lot different from the home, because there’s lots of heavier equipment that might need different materials. Moving crates will be needed instead of moving boxes for example. And packing for an overseas move will require a shipping container. There’s a lot to think about.

So draw up all of your moving specifications, and then start doing some research. See what services packing companies in your area provide. Make a list of all of the potential packing companies before looking around for prices. Remember, the packing is an important part of the move, and you want it done well. Don’t just go after the cheapest company, only hire ones that you feel you can trust, and ones recommended by review web sites.

When you feel you’ve found the right company for you, then you can invite them around to conduct a survey. They’ll take a look at all of the rooms you want them to pack up, and make a note of some of the specifics. Mainly, which items need special packing materials, like bespoke boxes or crates. Only after they’ve conducted this survey can they offer you a price. If you’re happy with it, then you can let them get to work.

So, with the packing company found, you can sit back and wait for the packing to be completed. The amount of time varies from company to company, but what you can be sure of is that they’ll do a fine packing job. And a fine packing job means no broken bits and bobs to spoil your move …
