Packing Service

Packing boxes for moving are available from several sources.

Removal companies like Giant Van supply them directly — convenient because you only pay for what you use and the boxes arrive on moving day if you do not need them sooner.

DIY stores including B&Q and Wickes carry a limited range.

Online removals supply companies (such as Bankers Boxes or Kite Packaging) sell in bulk at lower per-box prices but require a few days for delivery.

Supermarkets give away food boxes for free — these are single-walled and less sturdy than purpose-made removal boxes.

For heavier items like books and crockery, always use double-walled boxes.

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.
