What does a move with packing service cost?

Moving house is an exciting event, but often a stressful one too. One of the hardest jobs when you move is packing up all your belongings. How long does that actually take? And what does a move with packing service cost? It may seem like a simple question, but the answer varies depending on things like how much you own and how organised you are.

In this blog we are happy to explain how long packing for a move takes, and we share handy tips to tackle this tricky job as efficiently as possible. We also look at why calling in Oomen Verhuizers can be a smart choice if you want to move without any worries. So read on!

How long does it take to pack for a move?

The time you need to pack for a move can vary a great deal. On average it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the size of your household contents and how well organised you are.

If you only have a few rooms to pack and you start early, you can often be done within three to five days. For larger homes, or if you have collected a lot of belongings over the years, it can easily take two weeks or longer.

How much help you get matters as well. If friends and family lend a hand, everything goes faster. Doing it on your own takes more planning and perseverance.

The time you have available also plays a part. Only free at weekends? Then it will naturally take longer than if you can work on it every day.

Also allow time for sorting out non-essential items from the things you really need day to day. That not only makes packing easier, it saves you valuable time in the long run.

Tips for packing quickly and efficiently

Efficient packing is the key to a successful move. Start by creating a clear strategy. Make a list of the rooms you want to tackle first and set your priorities.

Gather all your packing materials before you begin. Think boxes, tape, bubble wrap and markers. Make sure everything is within easy reach to save time.

Pack room by room instead of mixing everything together. This helps you stay organised and makes unpacking easier later on. Label every box clearly with its contents and its destination in your new home.

Do not be afraid to get rid of things or donate them along the way. Fewer belongings means less work when packing and moving.

Ask friends or family for help if you can. Working together makes the process not only faster, but a lot more enjoyable too.

Finally, take regular breaks to recharge. A fresh mind tackles tasks far more efficiently than a tired one after long packing sessions.
