    Frequently Asked Questions

    What size boxes should I use to pack?

    Typically the size of the box isn’t as important as the weight of the box. The most important thing to remember when packing a box is to pack it top to bottom. Try not to leave any voids. Pack books in smaller boxes and large fluffy or bulky items in larger boxes.

    Remember: the heavier the item, the smaller the box.

    Are packing and unpacking services available?

    Yes, we do offer these services at an additional cost. If this is something you are interested in, it is best to let your moving consultant know in the beginning so that it can be factored into the estimate.

    If I pack my own items are you responsible for the items inside?

    We will not accept the liability on owner packed cartons so we suggest that if you have any owner packed cartons that are sensitive in nature/fragile that you move them yourself.

    Do you sell boxes?

    Yes we sell different types and sizes of boxes. We also have a wide range of helpful packing materials available as well.
