The amount of time it will take to pack will depend on your home’s size and how much you have to move from there; however, it is usually done quicker than expected if you allow some time to prepare for the move and get organized.

For most small apartments and condos, it takes from 2 hours to a full day to pack. In general, a typical single family house will take between 1-2 days to complete while larger houses or moves that have large quantities of items may take several days to properly pack and load.

When you hire a professional to help pack and move, they will be much more efficient in their work. Experienced packers have learned how to wrap, organize, and box all items quickly and efficiently while ensuring that all items arrive safely at their new location.

What are the Factors that Affect Packing and Moving?

There are several main factors that can change the time your packing will take:

• How large your home is
• The number of items you currently own
• The number of fragile or specialty items that you own.
• How many items can be organized before packing starts
• The number of people packing

Helpful suggestions for packing upon moving

• Start decluttering your home 1st.
• Pack non-essential items as soon as you know what you don’t need.
• Separate important items for a separate box.
• Clearly label your boxes to make unpacking easier.

Packing is not complicated. Using the right method (or hiring a professional) allows you to get everything packed up quickly and easily.
