Packing services

[Flutterby63]

I've just had a quote for a home move. The company said that I have to take the full packing service with them when I asked whether the full packing quote could be split from the main move. Is this normal now?

@Flutterby63
I would expect so.
Basically if stuff is broken in transit then it could degenerate into a 3 way fight over whose fault the damage is between you, the mover of the packer. Liability might be confusing & disputed.
I would expect the choice for packing to ultimately fall between you and the mover.

I think that larger companies often don't insure your goods if they haven't packed them.
Last time we moved packing was only a few hundred out of the pretty expensive moving costs and well worth every penny.
Smaller companies will probably let you pack your own stuff.

Thank you, that makes sense. Will wait for the quotes and then make a decision.
