Over on the Options page you'll see the various choices we can offer.

Prices:  As you can imagine, we're called on to move a wide variety of goods from single items right up to complete house moves. 

For students, professors and doctors from any one of Edinburgh's Universities or Edinburgh Hospitals who are constantly on the move, we usually suggest the van and driver service, or why not team up with someone else who's moving to the same area. You can use the various notice boards and chat rooms to see if there's anyone happy to share a van with you and split the costs.

If you have a complete flat or house to move, there is a way you can keep the moving expenses within a budget. 

By far the most popular option is self-packing and wrapping.  Order up a packing kit, and take your time packing non-essentials.  Then nearer to the big day it will be a case of boxing up those last few items.  Our best advice is to give yourself plenty of time, and don't under-estimate how many boxes you'll need. 

As a guide we'd say 10-15 for a single bedroom property, 20-25 for 2 bedrooms and 30-40 for 3 bedrooms.  Naturally there are big variations, so if you have an extensive collection, you'll want to order specific sized boxes for that, but these numbers refer to a general household of goods. 

Our packing service is priced separately, and we can only give a price for that from a visit to record your inventory of goods.

Boxes: After using several different suppliers, we've found the best company for boxes and packing materials is HelpINeedBoxes.  We regularly price check to make sure we're getting good prices, as we use their boxes to.  The difference is they have all inclusive prices which also include delivery, so there's no surprise at the checkout with VAT and shipping costs.  The price you see is the price you pay.

Don't be tempted to use supermarket boxes.  They're far too flimsy for your valuable and fragile goods, and it's difficult to pack a van with a variety of different shapes and sizes.  The proper boxes are modular, so they all fit together tight and secure. 

Insurance:  Our insurers are Norwich Union and our cover provides up to £25'000 in the unlikely event of damage during transport.  This is usually sufficient,  however most home insurers will extend your own insurance while you're moving.  You'll need to call them anyway to change your address, so why not ask?  They're usually keen to keep you as a customer in your new home so give them a call.
