If you’re moving soon and considering hiring professional packing help, you may be wondering whether it’s worth it and what the benefits actually are.
At My Professional Organizer, we help individuals and families throughout the Northshore get organized and packed before their moves.
We know firsthand how much professional packing help can make the moving process easier, from saving you time to taking the physical work of packing off your plate.
If you’re trying to decide whether professional packing services are right for your move, here are 10 of the biggest benefits to consider.
1. The Physical Work of Packing is Handled for You
Packing an entire home is a lot of physical work. When you hire professional packing help, you don’t have to spend hours bending, lifting, reaching, wrapping, and packing everything yourself.
Our team can take belongings out of closets, cabinets, drawers, and shelves, bring items down from high shelves using step ladders, assemble and tape boxes, wrap and protect your belongings, pack everything into boxes, and get your home ready for moving day.
Instead of spending days doing all of that physical work yourself, you can leave the packing to us.
2. You Don’t Have to Figure Out Packing Supplies on Your Own
Figuring out how many boxes you need, what sizes to buy, and which packing materials you need for different belongings can be a project on its own.
We can recommend the packing supplies you’ll need based on your home and what you’re packing, or help you source and get the supplies for your move.
This saves you from making multiple trips to the store, loading boxes and supplies into your car, bringing everything home, and then realizing you bought the wrong size boxes, forgot something, or didn’t buy enough and have to go all the way back again.
3. The Mental Work of Packing is Handled for You
Packing a home properly takes a lot of thought.
We decide how to group items, what belongs in each box, how to wrap and protect fragile belongings, and the best way to pack everything safely and efficiently.
You don’t have to stand in every room trying to figure out where to start, what should be packed together, or whether something needs extra protection. Once we know what needs to be packed, we can work through the process for you.
4. You Don’t Have to Be Home While the Packing is Happening
You can be home while we work, but you don’t have to be.
Once we understand what needs to be packed and any special instructions you have, our team can work through your home while you take care of everything else on your schedule.
So while we’re packing, you can go to work, take your kids to school, run errands, handle other moving-related tasks, or simply continue with your normal day.
Instead of having to set aside hours or days to pack your home yourself, the packing is getting done while you’re able to focus on everything else that needs your attention.
5. You Save Hours of Your Own Time
Instead of spending evenings and weekends packing boxes, our professional organizers can get your home packed much faster.
You can spend that time handling other parts of your move, working, spending time with your family, or simply not spending Saturday night surrounded by packing tape.
6. Your Move Instantly Becomes Less Stressful
Packing can quickly become one more thing hanging over your head during an already busy move.
When someone else is handling it for you, you know the boxes are getting packed and your home is getting closer to being move-ready, even while you’re focusing on everything else that needs to get done.
7. Your Belongings Are Better Protected During the Move
We carefully wrap and pack your belongings to help protect them during transportation. Fragile and breakable items receive extra attention so they’re properly protected before moving day.
8. Your Boxes Are Clearly Labeled
We label boxes based on the room they belong in and, when helpful, what’s inside.
This makes it easier for movers to know where boxes should go and makes unpacking and organizing your new home much easier.
It also makes it easy if you are planning to move items to storage; all your boxes will be labeled, so you’ll know what’s inside when you need it.
9. Your Belongings Are Organized as They are Packed
Because you’re working with professional organizers, we’re not simply putting things into whatever box has room. We organize your belongings as we pack and keep similar items together whenever possible.
We keep similar items together and pack with the unpacking process in mind, making it easier to get organized once you arrive at your new home.
For example, if clothing needs to be folded before it’s packed, we’ll fold it first. If a kitchen junk drawer needs to be sorted and categorized, we can organize those items before packing them.
10. You Can Get Help Decluttering Before Packing
If you don’t want to bring everything with you, we can help you declutter and go through your belongings before we pack and decide what you’d like to keep, donate, or let go of.
We can also take eligible donations that fit in our vehicles to local donation centers, so you only pack and move the things you actually want in your new home.
If you don’t need help decluttering but already have items set aside for donation, we can take donations that fit in our vehicles to a local donation center after your packing session.
