Packing and Crating - the prep work. Getting all your things ready to be safely and effectively transported. Most items such as books, DVDs, tools, pots, pans and toys don’t take a lot of skill or knowledge to “put in a box”. Packing is a tad more involved (see packing tips) and a PARTIAL PACK is usually for dishes, ornaments, pictures and other breakable items. Certain items need special handling or CRATING - these can include GLASS, MARBLE, SLATE, SCULPTURES and ARTWORK. Types of crates vary depending on your needs and budget. Pricing for packing services can either be HOURLY, COST-PLUS (ie materials and labour), or BY WEIGHT. Crating costs are usually FLAT RATE, as they are all custom and an on-site visual assessment must be done on each crating job.
