Guide to Self-Packing


We are going to be publishing a series of tips to help you do the best and safest packing you can by yourself.

Why self-pack?
Not everyone can afford the full service provided by moving customers. Sometimes, depending on the size of the move and where you are moving to/from, costs can add up to a hefty amount.

While we recommend to always go with the full packing service from us – as the safest way to get your belongings transported door to door – we understand that this is not always an option.

The key to everything is planning and organization.

In this first entry to the series, we are posting general guidelines for self-packing, to make your work a bit easier.
