Packing can be one of the least enjoyable and most time consuming aspects of moving. From procuring packing materials to ensuring everything is packaged correctly and safely, the entire process can wear you out. Of course, having packers box up your entire house may be out of your budget. Fortunately, there are several services that you can take advantage of that can help simplify this process and keep you in budget, as the following guide will show.
Single-Room Service
Packing the dining room or bedroom may not seem like that big of a deal, but the kitchen can be overwhelming. Not only do you have to pack a multitude of small items, many of them are odd-shaped, breakable, or both. You can bring in professional packers to load up the rooms you don't want to do or that contain items you are worried about breaking. Scheduling just one or two rooms for the packers can save you a bit of cash.
Collection service
Sometimes the challenge is in what you are packing. If you have a collection that you are worried about, then you can bring in professionals just to handle these items. This works well if you have something like fine china or a display case of fine porcelain collectibles. The packers can even gather the items from around the home; they don't all need to be displayed in the same room to count as a single collection packing service.
Single item service
Single items services are typically reserved for very specific types of furniture, such as a grandfather clock or piano. An expert in packing this item will arrive and disassemble it as necessary or pad it for a safe move. For example, with a grandfather clock, the weights need to be removed and boxed, the glass case and clock workings padded, and decorative finials protected. Generally, unpacking and reassembling the specialty item is included in the price of this service.
Wardrobe services
Closets and drawers can be overwhelming for some people, especially if you have a lot of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Much like a single room or collection service, the packers will show up and properly pack all of these items in a single session. They have the knowledge and supplies to pack your clothing and shoes so that they arrive undamaged, even if you have fine textiles such as furs, leathers, or silks.
