When moving to Knoxville, you may choose to handle packing up your home yourself, or you can opt to enlist the help of a professional packing service. If you decide to hire a moving company, you want to look for one that will tailor their packing services to meet your timeline and most importantly, your budget. When you create your moving budget, make sure you include all packing service fees that will come up during the process. Follow these tips from our Knoxville movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage on how to establish a realistic packing service budget.

Packing Service Fees

The price of a professional packing service is usually determined by the volume of your items, the time it takes to pack them, and the appropriate supplies needed during the process. When you are creating your moving budget, you have to take into consideration that the more items you have, the more money it will cost you to hire a packing service. Some companies charge a fixed hourly rate that includes labor and supplies. Make room for some hidden fees that could turn up during the packing process. Consult your moving company about this before they start packing.

Save Money

You can save money by providing your own packing supplies that the professional packers can use. You can find cheap boxes or even free ones and the remaining packing supplies aren’t too pricey. Make sure to consult your moving company if you wish to go this route, because some quotes already include packing supply fees.
