Packing help in Marrickville
Packing is the half of the move people underestimate, and the half where damage actually happens. Hands that have packed a thousand kitchens are cheaper than they sound, because they are fast and nothing breaks.
Ways to book it
- Pack-and-move. The crew packs in the morning and moves in the afternoon. Suits smaller homes and well-sorted ones.
- Pack-ahead. Packers come a day or two before moving day and box everything except what you live from. The calmer option for family homes.
- The fragile shelf only. You pack the books and linen; we pack the glassware, ceramics, records and art. A popular middle path in this suburb.
How we pack the things Marrickville owns
- Kitchens get paper on every plate, verticals for platters, and heavy boxes kept small enough to lift safely.
- Records travel upright in small boxes. A big box of vinyl fails at the handles; every collector who has moved twice knows it.
- Books the same: small boxes, packed flat, labelled by shelf so the bookcase rebuilds itself at the other end.
- Wardrobes go into porta-robes hanging as they are, so nothing needs ironing on the other side.
- Plants ride upright in open crates, loaded last and unloaded first.
Packing runs on the same published hourly rates as moving, most often the 2 movers + 1 truck crew at $250 an hour for a dedicated packing visit. Materials are extra and we only charge for what gets used.
Book packing with your move and the materials arrive with the packers: boxes in both sizes, paper, tape, porta-robes. No trip to the hardware store, no tower of scavenged fruit boxes.
Questions people ask about packing
Can I pack some rooms myself and leave you the rest?
Absolutely, and most people do. Tell us in the enquiry which rooms are yours and which are ours so the estimate reflects the real job.
Do you take the boxes back afterwards?
Ask in the enquiry and we will arrange what we can. Flattened boxes in good condition deserve a second move.
