What affects the cost of packing service in York Region
We do not publish a one-size-fits-all rate because no two moves are the same. Your quote is built from the size of the job, the access at both ends, the services you add and the date. It is free, written and fixed once the details are confirmed, so the price on the quote is the price on the invoice.

- 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.
