This was my first big move and I was nervous, but Zero Hour Moving made it painless. Booking was quick, the crew showed up on time, and nothing was scratched. Five stars from me!

Packing Tips If You Are Doing Some Yourself
- Use small boxes for books and heavy items, large boxes for bedding and light items.
- Wrap each glass and plate individually and stand plates on edge, never flat.
- Fill every void with paper so contents cannot shift.
- Never exceed 20 kg per box; test-lift before taping.
- Label the top and two sides with room and contents.
- Keep screws and small parts in bags taped to the item they belong to.
- Pack an open-first box with kettle, cups, toilet paper, tools and chargers.
- Do not pack liquids, aerosols, batteries or candles in the truck.

FAQs
Questions about packing & unpacking services in Kingston
Straight answers about how this service works in Kingston, what is included and how it is priced.
How long does it take to pack a house in Kingston?
Every job is quoted individually and in writing, based on the size of the move, the access at both ends and the services you choose. Quotes are free and there are no hidden fees.
Do you bring the packing materials?
Yes. Boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap, wardrobe boxes and mattress bags are all included in the packing service.
Can you pack only the fragile items?
Yes. Kitchen-only and fragile-only packing are popular options for people who want to pack the rest themselves.
Do you unpack as well?
Yes. Our unpacking service places items where you want them and removes the packing waste from your Kingston home.
Is packing charged separately from the move?
Packing is quoted as a separate line so you can see exactly what it costs. Booking packing and moving together is the most economical option.
What should I know about moving near Queen's in September?
Expect company. On move-in weekend at the start of the school year, the City restricts parking and makes some streets near campus one-way, and many students are moving at once. Book early, tell us your exact address and unit, and we will plan a time and loading spot that fits the street rules.
