Packing

When the crew arrives our team leader will confirm with you all the items to be removed before they begin to carefully pack your belongings.

The crew on our packing teams are known for their skill in the technical side of packing, as well as their courtesy when visiting your home. We also use specialized packing materials to make sure your items are properly taken care of.

Prior to loading, every item is numbered to match with the packing inventory. Color-coded labels are also used to help delivery crews match items to the right rooms at destination.

Through our training programs, our crews follow best practice methods in handling your belongings safely and with care.
