Scope of this page: combining packing and moving in a single request. For packing alone see furniture packing in Dammam, and for moving in general see movers in Dammam.
Who the combined package suits
It suits people with no time to pack a whole home, people who fear breaking glass and dishes if they wrap them alone, and people moving in a tight window between two contracts. It also suits anyone with lots of clothes and small items that would take days to box. If you prefer to pack your personal things yourself, you can ask us to wrap only the furniture and glass and save the rest.
Full or partial packing
Full packing
We wrap nearly everything: kitchen, clothes, books, small appliances and furniture. This takes more time and more workers, and is usually done the day before the move or on the morning of the move depending on the size of the home.
Partial packing
We wrap what takes skill: glass, mirrors, frames, dishes and wooden furniture, while you prepare clothes and everyday items. It takes less time and costs less, and suits most apartments.
We tell you before the date exactly what the quote covers, so partial and full do not get confused on the day.
A typical two-day schedule for a medium home
- Day before: survey, wrapping of kitchen, glass and frames, numbering boxes and noting what is in each.
- Morning of the move: wrapping what remains and dismantling beds and wardrobes, then loading in an order that follows the rooms.
- Afternoon: unloading at the new address and carrying each box to its room.
- End of day: reassembling beds and wardrobes and placing the furniture.
This is an example, not a fixed commitment. The real schedule is set once we know the size of your move.
What we do not pack for you
Important papers, passports, gold and jewellery, medicine, keys and cash stay with you in a separate bag that you carry yourself. We also leave anything very personal that you do not want touched. For hazardous items such as chemicals and gas, we do not move them unless safe handling allows it, and we tell you plainly when they fall outside our scope.
Our materials and method
We use wrapping paper for dishes, bubble wrap for glass and electronics, blankets and covers for wooden furniture, and reinforced boxes in several sizes. We seal with tape and write the contents and the destination room on each box. More detail is on kitchen packing and moving and packing glassware and crystal.
How the price changes
It rises with the amount of belongings, the level of packing, the floor and the distance, and falls when you do part of the packing yourself. We give no fixed number before the survey. To understand the factors read what sets the price of moving in Dammam.
Before we wrap: move less
The best saving in packing and moving is to move less. Before the packing date walk through the rooms and sort what you do not need: clothes you do not wear, duplicate tools, broken devices, old books. What is sold, donated or thrown away reduces the number of boxes, the space on the truck and the packing time all at once. Finish sorting before the packing day rather than during it, so the crew is not waiting for your decisions.
After arrival: open boxes in order
Because each box is marked with its contents and room, you can start with the kitchen, bathroom and main bedroom boxes and leave books and seasonal items for later. Keep the paper and bubble wrap until you are sure everything is intact, then dispose of it. If you notice any damage, photograph it right away and message us so we can follow up with you. For organising after the move see unpacking after moving.
