Packing & Unpacking

Packed by pros, unpacked into cupboards. You just point.

What's included

Packing & Unpacking, the Phoenix way

Packing is where moves are won or lost. Our packers bring premium boxes, port-a-robes, paper and wrap, and work room by room with a labelling system that means unpacking takes hours, not weeks. Want the full service? We unpack at the other end too, straight into cupboards, wardrobes and shelves.

  • Premium boxes, paper, wrap and port-a-robes supplied
  • Room-by-room labelling system
  • Fragiles, art and glassware packed by specialists
  • Unpacking straight into cupboards at delivery
  • Rubbish and box removal after you're set up
  • Part-pack options if you'd rather do some yourself

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

1

Materials dropped early

Boxes, paper, wrap and port-a-robes arrive before packing day so nothing holds up the crew.

2

Room by room

Packers work one room at a time and label every box by room and contents, so unpacking follows a logical order instead of a treasure hunt.

3

Fragiles handled separately

Glassware, art, mirrors and crockery are packed by the people who do it every day, double wrapped and marked.

4

Unpacked and cleared

At the other end we unpack into cupboards and wardrobes, flatten the cardboard and take it away.

What it costs

Straight pricing

Packing is charged at the same half hourly rate as the move, plus materials at cost. A full pack of a three bedroom home is usually a full day for two packers. If that is more than you need, part packing is common: we do the kitchen, the glassware and the wardrobes, and you handle the books and the linen.

Questions

Packing & Unpacking, answered

How long does packing a house take?

A two bedroom unit is generally half a day for two packers, a three bedroom home a full day, and a large four bedroom house sometimes two. We pack the day before the move so moving day starts on time.

Do I have to be there while you pack?

It helps at the start so you can flag what is not going and what you need to keep with you, but plenty of clients hand over a key and come back to a packed house.

Can I just get the boxes?

Yes. We supply premium boxes, butchers paper, bubble wrap, tape and port-a-robes without you booking the packing service, and we collect the empties after your move.

How do you pack a TV or artwork?

Televisions go in purpose made cartons with corner protection. Framed pieces and mirrors are corner capped, wrapped and carried flat in a picture crate rather than loose in the truck.

Do you take the boxes away afterwards?

Yes, and it is part of the unpacking service. We flatten and remove the cardboard and paper so you are not living with it for a fortnight.
