Packing Services

If you’re moving home you will need all your possessions packed correctly and carefully. You need to ask yourself a question. Are you confident that you can do it yourself? You must take into account the fact that is a really skilled, backbreaking time consuming job!...

Self packers generally pack because they believe it’s something they can do, as everything else so far has been out of their control. They feel that they can easily do it and save some money. In reality this is a myth and most of the time they will end up spending more money in the long run. Not to mention the possibility of hurting their back. Any items self-packed will not be covered under the insurance policy, unless there is evidence that the box containing them was damaged during the move.

Many people do decide to pack themselves, A J Stephenson will provide all the packing materials required.

If we are packing for you, we will usually pack the day before the move. This will limit the disruption to you and your family . You will not be surrounded by boxes etc for weeks prior to moving. You can also relax and know your goods are fully Insured. A tip here is gather the items you don’t want packed until the last minute on your beds, and allocate an area in the kitchen or bathroom where the items can be gathered and left to be packed on the morning of the move.

The service I received was excellent from start to finish. I had a lot of belongings to pack up and move, and the removal company were very helpful throughout. I was a bit nervous about going to work and having packers in, but it was brilliant! On the actual move day, the 3 guys were exemplary in their attitude and helpfulness. I would certainly recommend the packing and move service - worth every penny!
