Scope & boundaries
Packing and unpacking are specific jobs. Being clear about where our work ends helps a move go smoothly, because everyone involved knows exactly who is responsible for what.
Why boundaries matter
Some moving companies bundle packing, transport and odd jobs into one loose offer. We keep our side of a move focused on wrapping, boxing, crating and unpacking, because a defined scope is easier to schedule, easier to price fairly, and easier to check against once the job is done. Below are the areas that sit outside what we do, along with the reasoning behind each one.
Loading a truck, driving it between cities, and unloading at destination sit with the moving company you book separately. Our team packs everything so it is ready to be carried, and hands it directly to that crew. Keeping transport and packing as two separate services means each side can be evaluated on its own.
We pack for a move that has a destination and a date. If boxes need to sit in a warehouse for weeks or months, that arrangement belongs with a storage provider, not with a packing service built around a short, defined window between packing day and unpacking day.
Bed frames, wardrobes and other furniture that needs to be taken apart with tools usually falls to the moving company's crew or a dedicated handyman, since it involves different equipment and different liability considerations than wrapping and boxing.
Paint, chemicals, old appliances and construction debris require licensed disposal routes. We can flag these items during the walkthrough, but removing them is outside what a packing visit covers.
We wrap and crate fragile and valuable items with care, but assigning a monetary value or arranging insurance coverage for them is a separate step, usually handled directly between you and an insurer or your moving company.
Describe the rooms, items and timeline involved and we can tell you plainly whether it sits within our scope or where it might need a different provider.
We answer scope questions before any booking is made.
