Packing

Get help with the items you want packed, from selected fragile pieces to a whole home. We review the scope, protection and supplies before the visit.

What we help with

  • Pack selected items, a room or a whole home as agreed before the visit.
  • Review fragile pieces, furniture protection and supplies you already have.
  • Plan packing as part of your move or as a separate visit, with each visit's terms confirmed.

How your move works

01

Choose what we pack.

Tell us which items and rooms need help, what is already packed and which supplies you have. Identify delicate, unusual or valuable pieces for an individual review.

02

Match protection to the item.

Fragile items need suitable cushioning and boxes. Ordinary furniture uses moving blankets, stretch film and tape, with removable cushions prepared separately.

03

Prepare for the next stage.

We pack the agreed items for moving. Tell us about unpacking or placement help in advance so we can review the scope and paid working time.

Protection with a purpose.

Materials and handling should suit the item.

Cushion fragile contents.

Suitable boxes and cushioning help keep fragile pieces from contacting one another. Share the items and supplies available so the packing approach can be reviewed.

Wrap furniture in layers.

Moving blankets provide the padded layer. Stretch film and tape hold the wrapping in place; film alone does not replace padding.

Prepare separate parts.

Removable sofa cushions are prepared separately from the frame. Flag glass, mirrors and delicate finishes so their protection can be reviewed before packing begins.

Time, materials and billing.

When packing is part of a direct move with an AT Moving truck, packing time is paid at the selected hourly rate without a second packing labor charge. Ordinary moving blankets, stretch film and tape are included; boxes are charged separately. The move has one combined 60-minute minimum for working time and applicable travel, with travel terms in the estimate. Standalone packing visits and platform bookings have separately agreed rates, minimums, materials and travel terms.

The right protection depends on the item. Special pieces and any unpacking help need review before the visit; standalone packing does not automatically use the truck-move terms.

Before we arrive

  • Identify the items and rooms you want packed and share photos of delicate pieces.
  • Separate anything that should stay unpacked, including keys, documents, medication, chargers and personal essentials.
  • Tell us which supplies you have, what is already packed and whether packing continues into the move.
  • Share access instructions and clear a working area around the items to be packed.

Confirm these separately

  • Packing labor is paid working time; it is not free with a truck move.
  • Boxes are charged separately under the direct truck-move terms; supplies for a standalone visit are agreed separately.
  • A standalone packing visit does not automatically include transport, unpacking or placement; request the help you need before the visit.

A few useful answers

Can you pack only selected items?

Yes. Share the items that need help so we can review the handling and supplies, whether it is a few fragile pieces or a larger packing job.

Are packing time and boxes included?

On a direct truck move, packing time is paid at the selected hourly rate without a second packing labor charge. Ordinary moving blankets, stretch film and tape are included. Boxes are charged separately; packing-only terms are confirmed separately.

Can I arrange packing without a move?

Packing can be a separate visit. Share the items, location, access and available supplies so the scope, rate, minimum and material terms can be agreed for that visit.

What should I keep with me?

Set aside keys, documents, medication, chargers and the essentials you need during the move. Point out anything the crew should leave unpacked before work begins.
