Moving Home Fees

Effective cardboard box packing for moving follows three rules.

Label every box on the side, not the top — the side stays visible when boxes are stacked.

Pack rooms separately and keep the boxes from each room together in the van, so unpacking at the other end is logical rather than random.

Fill boxes completely — half-full boxes collapse when stacked and lose their structural integrity.

Giant Van crews can pack for you at an additional per-room rate, or simply load and transport your pre-packed boxes as part of a standard booking.

National firms often send crews who have never worked a particular street before.

Giant Van drivers are allocated to regions they know.

That means parking strategy on restricted roads, awareness of time-controlled loading bays, knowledge of estate layouts, and understanding of access routes for large vans in older town centres.

Local knowledge reduces delays and prevents the situations where a crew cannot park and the customer loses hours waiting.

Giant Van's driver allocation is region-first, meaning you get someone familiar with the area, not the nearest available driver regardless of location.
