When moving house you may be considering hiring a removal service and possibly using their packing service too.  You don’t have to use the packing service by the removal company; you could just do your own packing however it’s highly recommendable that you do as there are benefits in doing so. Here are the benefits of using a packing service for all removalsMoving home and transporting all of your goods with you is not an easy task. Just take a look around your home now and you will quickly realise that if all of your belongings were to be piled into one room it probably wouldn’t even fit, and yet we expect all our goods to fit in a van! Well, with so many items to pack including all of the little knick knacks as well as the bigger things it seems inevitable that a packing service will be required! Not only do we need to pack these things prior to the move but then we have the tedious job of unpacking again, once we arrive at destination. To me this adds to the trouble and the hard work and not to mention the amount of time it will take to do everything twice which is why it seems wise again, to opt for the packing service. Some people prefer to just do it themselves which is fine, but if you think that taking the DIY route will save you money, you could easily be in for a bit of a shock! Packing yourself may be a cheaper option to begin with but if you fail to pack as effectively as a fully trained professional removal man does, then you could end up with a lot of broken or damaged belongings! Damaged goods are not an added expense you want to be lumbered with after the move! By using the packing service provided you could complete a tedious house removal within a day, rather than over a couple of days if you were to go it alone! Professional personnel will know how to pack up an entire household very quickly and know how to load the van to ensure safety of your goods as well as managing to fit more goods into one load!Packing services will have all the right packaging available to be able to protect you goods, like bubble wraps and padding for delicate and breakable items plus special boxes and cellophanes for furnishings. By opting for a packing service you will be eligible for insurance. Sometimes accidents happen during removals and goods are damaged or broken but if you use the packing service the company becomes liable for any damaged caused to your goods, if it were to happen because they packed them. Of course if you do want to save on costs you may want to hire a ‘Partial Packing’ service which is used for packing only the more delicate or higher value items that you may own and the rest can be packed into any other regular boxes that you source yourself. By using a packing service you are guaranteed to get a more accurate quote for the packing materials! If you decide to do it yourself you may not purchase enough or you may even go overboard with the amount of materials you buy. A packing service will send a surveyor to your home to have a look around and to be able to offer a more reliable quote for the amount of packing required to pack up and move your home. The packing service may even collect the rubbish after the move and send it for recycling, which also save you the time and bother. You see, there are many benefits for using a packing service, especially when you look outside the box-literally!
