Giant Van offers 6 more features than Other Services
Here Is What Packing Services Covers
A 1 bedroom flat or house generates more boxes than most people estimate before their first move.
The common assumption is 10 to 15 boxes.
The reality for a fully furnished 1 bedroom property is 25 to 35 boxes.
Clothing alone fills 4 to 6 medium boxes when folded.
Books and papers account for 3 to 5 small boxes.
Kitchen items including small appliances, crockery, and food fill 6 to 8 boxes.
Bedding needs 2 to 3 large boxes.
Bathroom and toiletries add another 2 small boxes.
Moving and packing boxes from Giant Van are available in the right sizes for each category.
Order the 1 bed kit and receive the correct assortment delivered to your door.
Ordering by individual size wastes time and often results in undersupply of the sizes you need most.
