How do I prepare my house for the packers?
To best prepare your home for a packer, set aside any items you want to pack yourself and make it clear what you would like the packer to pack. If you have a particular system in place such as labelling the boxes by their destination rooms, it is good to write this up so you have a clear map or set of instructions to hand over to the packer so they can work independently. It is also good to clean and disinfect your home and home contents before the packer arrives so that your items are better stored in their boxes (no risk of harbouring pests and dust mites) and, so it is easier for the packer to work. Customers who want to save on the packing fee also declutter before the packers arrive so that the packers only pack anything that is needed in the new home.
How long does it take to pack a house?

Is it worth paying for professional packers?
When you’re moving, packing can be worth paying an additional cost for if any of the following apply:
- You are under time constraints and are unable to take time off work to pack.
- The items being packed are far from you, e.g. packing for a parent or adult children, or if you are overseas or interstate but your items need to be packed and moved.
- You have a lot of clutter and are too attached to your items. A decluttering and packing service may be very useful for you and well worth your peace of mind.
- You simply do not like packing!
