What Affects Your Packing & Prep Quote
FACTOR 01
Scope of Packing Required
Whether you need help with fragile rooms only (kitchen, dining, study) or broader household carton preparation.
FACTOR 02
Packing Materials & Boxes
Whether you are supplying your own cartons, butcher paper, and bubble wrap, or need to discuss material requirements in advance.
FACTOR 03
Same-Day vs Day-Before Scheduling
Larger homes often benefit from completing packing preparation the day before the truck load.
Pre-Move Preparation Checklist
- Declutter and donate unwanted items before packing begins so you only pay to pack and move what you keep.
- Group fragile glassware, ceramics, and framed artwork clearly so they receive padded wrapping.
- Keep hazardous items (paint tins, aerosols, pool chemicals, gas bottles, fuel) separate—these require personal transport.
What to Confirm With Us When Quoting
- Whether you already have boxes and tape on site or want to discuss material options.
- How many rooms or cupboards need packing support.
- Hourly rate structure ($130–$135/hr indicative guidance) and recommended time allocation.
Adelaide Local Logistics Note
Having uniform, sturdy moving cartons stacked to waist height in accessible rooms dramatically reduces loading time on move day.
