Professional Packing vs DIY: What Does It Actually Cost You? π¦
Most people assume DIY packing saves money. But when you factor in the time off work, the cost of buying your own supplies, and the very real risk of damaging your belongings, that "saving" can disappear pretty quickly.
Let's Move Removals' professional packing service comes in at Β£70 per hour (including 2 packers and all materials), and their team can typically get it done in a day or two while you carry on as normal. You don't even need to be there. Compare that to sourcing your own boxes, bubble wrap, wardrobe cartons, tape, and tissue paper separately, spending a full weekend packing, and hoping nothing gets broken in transit. If you'd rather go the DIY route, removal boxes start from just Β£1.50, and you only pay for what you actually use, which is a genuinely handy option if you want some control over the process. So here's a question worth thinking about: what is your time actually worth? A weekend of packing stress, or handing it off to an experienced team who've completed thousands of moves across London and beyond? π
