Frequently asked questions
When should I organise my packers for?
We recommend your packers come at least 1 day prior to your removalists showing up to do the job but ideally more. The more organised you are through your move, the more stress free it will be. If your packers do come more than 1 day prior, it might make sense to ask them to leave a basic set of cutlery and crockery out (enough for the family for a meal) but to pack everything else so you’re ready to go.
Do I need to be home for my packers?
Ideally, yes!
Whilst our professional packers can do the job independently they may have some questions through the job and they don’t know your home as well as you do so it’s good if someone is around to answer questions. If that’s not possible and they can reach you on your phone, this is also ok.
Can I use everyday items around my home to pack?
Professional packers need proper materials like butchers paper and packing boxes. They will not use newspaper or linen to pack cartons as this leads to sub-optimal results and possibly leads to damage to your items.
