Why Packing is the Most Critical Step in Moving

Packing isn’t just about throwing items into boxes—it’s about ensuring they arrive at your new home in perfect condition. Poor packing can lead to:

  • Damaged Items: Fragile items like glassware, electronics, and artwork require special care
  • Increased Stress: Packing can take days or even weeks without the right strategy
  • Delays on Moving Day: Improperly packed items slow down loading and unloading

By hiring professionals, you eliminate these risks and ensure a smoother move.


Benefits of Hiring Professional Packers

Saves Time and Energy

Packing a three-bedroom home takes most people 20-30 hours. A professional team can complete the same job in 4-6 hours, freeing you to focus on other moving tasks—like saying goodbye to neighbors or getting your new home ready.

Protects Fragile Items

Professional packers use high-quality materials and techniques to protect delicate items like dishes, mirrors, and electronics. We know exactly how to wrap, cushion, and pack to prevent damage during transit.

Reduces Stress

Moving is already stressful enough without the added burden of packing. Hiring a packing company gives you peace of mind, knowing your belongings are in expert hands.

Optimizes Space

Professional packers know how to maximize box space, reducing the number of boxes and, ultimately, the cost of your move. We pack strategically so items don’t shift during transport.

Insurance Coverage

Items packed by iHaul iMove are covered under our insurance policies, adding an extra layer of security for your belongings. This protection only applies to items packed by our team.


When Should You Hire a Packing Company?

Consider professional packing services when you have:

  • Short Timelines: If you have a tight moving schedule, a packing company can help you stay on track
  • Large Moves: Moving a multi-bedroom home or office? Professionals make the process more manageable
  • Specialty Items: For items like pianos, antiques, or artwork, professional packers ensure proper handling
  • Busy Lifestyles: If you’re juggling work, family, or other commitments, outsourcing packing is a lifesaver
