Is a Home Packing Service Worth it When Moving?

Packing your belongings is one of the hardest parts of the moving process. Trying to fit an entire home into boxes is tough, not to mention the emotional overwhelm you can feel when going through all of your belongings. One way to make the process easier is to hire a moving team to provide professional home packing services. But are they worth it? In this post, we’ll help you figure out if packing services for your move in Oxfordshire are right for you.

Packing takes a lot of time

Most people think they can pack their home ready to move in a weekend. The truth is, it will take at least three times longer than you think it will.

Packing is a long, laborious task when you’re not a professional mover because you won’t have the knowledge or experience to do it in the best way.

If you want the process done quickly and efficiently, a packing service will ensure your belongings are packed securely and well-distributed for transport.

Packing materials are expensive

You’ll always underestimate how much packing materials you’ll need for your move. In fact, you’ll likely make a couple of extra trips to the store for extra boxes and packing tape.

This is not only expensive but wastes time you could spend decluttering and making moving preparations.

When you hire a moving company to pack for you, they’ll supply the moving materials so you don’t have to think about it. You’ll be sure your belongings are in sturdy boxes and packed well by experts.

Do you want a labelling system for your move?

When you pack up a home to move, you want to make the process of unpacking as quick and easy as possible.

Luckily, moving companies have the best tricks and systems to make that process smooth. You’ll get an easy-to-follow labelling system that will make the unpacking process much easier.

With items stored by room and labelled well, you’ll know exactly where everything needs to go when you finally arrive at your new home.

What movers won’t pack

When you hire a moving company, they can’t pack everything for you. For example, if you have belongings in your attic, these will need to be brought down to be factored into your quote.

There are also prohibited items that movers won’t pack to keep their staff safe. Your moving company will make you aware of any items they can’t pack when they give you a quote so you know what you’ll be in charge of.
