- Christchurch, New Zealand
So, you’ve got a move on the horizon! Moving from one place to another can be very exciting, but it can also be pretty stressful. Anyone who has tried to keep track of a mess of electronics, bed linens, and couch cushions can attest that doing it yourself is not always the best way!
You’re already juggling all sorts of things: key handovers, cleaning your current and new places, wrangling various family members and friends into helping with the big day (usually with the lure of pizza to help). Adding such a massive task to your plate might not be what you want to do right now.
Luckily, that’s why pack and move services exist: to give people like yourself a ‘time out’ button. You call the professionals, they come in to pack up your property’s contents and move them to your new space or into storage, and you focus on the details.
We love what we do and think our clients do, too. So today, we’re highlighting the benefits of investing in pack-and-move services for your big move-in day!
Alongside final cleanups, your schedule is probably already jam-packed. Formal pack and move services allow a team to take over one of the most time-consuming parts of the move: packing and transport.
Instead of spending days collecting boxes, wrapping fragile items, and making multiple car trips, a professional pack and move team will come equipped with everything they need to get the job done in a fraction of the time. This means you’ll have more hours to focus on the important stuff (like setting up your power connection or picking up your kids from school).
Bonus: Movers often work in teams, so packing that might take you two weekends can often be done in a day. Talk about a relief.
Most people think of shifting boxes when they picture tackling a big move, but there’s usually a lot of clunky furniture involved, difficult corners, and a whole journey between your old spot and your new one. Along the way, items in boxes or furniture can get damaged if they haven’t been expertly packed or properly strapped down.
Professional movers have built-in experience transporting a range of different items of all shapes and sizes. We specialise in wrapping materials, loading like we’re playing expert-level Tetris, and navigating door frames with no smudges or chips left behind.
You might even be able to find transit insurance with the right provider, so you’re covered in the rare event that something goes missing.
Every property is different, which means every move is different. This is why the best pack and move services are tailored, not one-size-fits-all. If you’re keen to handle the packing but don’t want to worry about transport, you can hire movers to load everything into their truck and safely ferry your belongings. On the other hand, if the driving is your jam but the bubble-wrapping is not, a single-day packing service can help you get your home packed up on the day before your big move.
Regardless of the option you choose, you can always count on a seamless, efficient experience, no matter the size of the job.
If you’re a parent trying to juggle kids while shifting house (or a busy professional with no time to spare), pack-and-move services can be a lifesaver. The same goes for anyone moving seniors, who may struggle with the physical strain of packing and lifting.
Having a moving team on hand allows you to delegate the most demanding parts of the process, while still keeping control over what goes where. You’ll feel more organised and less overwhelmed, which makes for a smoother transition overall.
You also won’t have to collapse sweaty on your couch at the end of the day and gasping for air from the sheer physical strain.
Picturing full-service pack and move services might prompt a parade of dollar signs, but these services are not expensive if you choose the right team. In fact, you may find that things actually start to add up when you factor in the hidden costs of DIY moves, including truck hire, fuel, packaging materials, lost work hours, and the inevitable pizza bribe.
By contrast, professional movers take one payment and tackle everything at once: expert packing, safe transportation, and efficient unloading. Your home is boxed up and shifted in a single day, all without potential injuries, losses, or breakages, even that clunky fridge you’re shifting!
