Common Packing Service Questions?
How long does it take movers to pack a room?
The time it takes to pack a room can vary depending on the size of the room and the number of items that need to be packed. Typically, it can take anywhere from 1-3 hours to pack a standard-sized room. The kitchen can take the longest to pack due to packing everything in an organized fashion. However, it’s important to note that this can vary based on the complexity of the items being packed and the level of service required.
What not to pack in boxes when moving?
There are several items that should not be packed in boxes when moving. These include hazardous materials such as chemicals, flammable liquids, and explosives. Other items that should not be packed include perishable food items, live plants, and pets. Your Moving Consultant and pack team will be able to identify any items that is prohibited from being packed.
Do movers prefer boxes or bags?
Movers prefer boxes over bags. Boxes are sturdier and can be easily stacked in the moving truck, making them easier to transport. Bags, on the other hand, can tear and are difficult to stack, which can increase the risk of damage during the move.
Can I leave clothes in drawers when moving?
It’s generally not recommended to leave clothes in drawers during a move, as it can make the furniture heavier and more difficult to move, and may also cause damage to both the drawers and the clothes. However, if the furniture is sturdy and the drawers are relatively empty, it may be possible to leave some lightweight items such as clothing in the drawers. Check with your Moving Consultant first to see if they have any recommendations for what items can be left in drawers.
What room should I pack first when moving?
When moving, it’s generally a good idea to start with the least used room in the house and work your way towards the more heavily used rooms. This way, you can get a head start on packing without disrupting your daily routine too much. Some people also prefer to start with the most cluttered room first, as it can be satisfying to see progress early on in the packing process.
Can I tip my pack team?
Tipping is not mandatory, but it’s generally considered a good practice to tip your movers and packers if you feel that they provided exceptional service. The amount of the tip can vary depending on the circumstances, but a common guideline is to tip between 5% and 10% of the total cost of the pack or move. If you’re unsure about how much to tip, you can always ask your Moving Consultant for their recommendation.
