When it comes to packing, we recommend keeping the weight of boxes under 20kg to allow for safe stacking without items being crushed. If larger boxes are used, please label them as heavy so we can position them accordingly in the truck.

Similarly, ensure that boxes containing glass, ceramics, or other fragile items are clearly marked with a prominent FRAGILE sticker for careful handling at all times.

Please note that there are certain items we are prohibited from moving, such as explosives, illegal substances, firearms, hazardous chemicals, jewellery, perishable goods, and cash. For a seamless moving experience, feel free to consult us with any concerns regarding your cargo so we can provide suitable solutions.

On moving day, our specialists manage all major items, including large furniture and heavy belongings. They secure these in trucks along with smaller, boxed items to preserve the integrity and safety of everything being transported. Each mover is skilled in stacking and securing furniture to ensure its safety during transit.

Upon arrival, our team will assist with unloading, following your instructions on where to place boxes, furniture, and equipment. Should you have any questions or need assistance, they will gladly help wherever possible.

Customisable service

Our movers in Port Elizabeth handle the entire process from start to finish—packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking all your belongings. We manage everything so you can concentrate on what's important: settling into your new home or enjoying your item.

While our movers can assist with tasks like disconnecting washers, we recommend preparing appliances before moving day. Fridges and freezers should be unplugged, defrosted, and cleaned ahead of being loaded into a van or truck. If you're unsure how to prepare an item for your move, contact our movers for assistance. On packing day, our teams can bring the necessary tools and assist you prior to the scheduled move.

For complex tasks like mains disconnection/connections, we suggest hiring an electrician or plumber.

If you're in need of a clearance and decluttering service in Port Elizabeth to clear rooms, garages, and lofts, we'll organise these for you and integrate them into your move.

Single item delivery

We understand the challenges of moving just a single item. In Port Elizabeth, some movers may not accommodate small item transport on short notice, while for others, it may not be cost-effective. Yet, there are times when you require assistance with moving a large wardrobe, bed, an antique, piano, or a very bulky sofa.

For our Port Elizabeth professionals, no job is too small or too large. Whatever you need delivered, our team ensures it reaches its destination Door-to-Door at an affordable rate.

Our movers will assist you with packing, loading your item into the vehicle, and transporting it anywhere across South Africa.

Full packing service

When moving house, professional packing isn't simply advisable—it's essential. Even with highly experienced moving teams managing your belongings, the packing process itself plays a crucial technical role in preventing damage or breakage. Proper packing provides essential cushioning, structural integrity, shock absorption, and secure containment, all of which are critical during transportation.

At Wise Move, we have assembled a network of South Africa’s premier packing specialists, thoroughly trained in advanced and technical packing methodologies tailored specifically for diverse household items. Our moving teams have extensive knowledge of packing materials, methods, weight distribution, and transport dynamics, enabling them to safely handle everything from fragile antiques and fine ceramics to sophisticated electronics, musical instruments, bulky furniture, and household appliances.

For fragile and highly sensitive items, such as fine china, glassware, artwork, or antiques, our teams employ an intricate Fragile Packing procedure. Each item undergoes a technical multi-step packing process beginning with acid-free tissue paper to guard against scratches, chemical reactions, or surface damage. This is followed by individual wrapping in multiple layers of high-density, industrial-grade bubble wrap designed specifically for superior shock absorption and vibration dampening. Items are then securely packed into reinforced double-wall corrugated boxes. The boxes are systematically arranged and clearly marked for identification, ensuring careful handling throughout the entire relocation process.

For furniture and larger household items such as cabinets, sofas, tables, and kitchen appliances, our teams utilise Blanket Packing—a highly technical method leveraging thick, durable, professional-grade moving blankets. Each item is expertly wrapped and secured using robust strapping or stretch film to prevent shifting, friction, or abrasion during transport. The technical approach employed by our moving teams ensures not only physical protection but also breathability, reducing potential moisture build-up that could otherwise damage surfaces.

Beyond packing, Wise Move's moving teams consistently apply precise handling and vehicle loading procedures. Items are meticulously arranged within moving trucks according to weight, size, and fragility, using advanced loading strategies to balance loads and optimise space utilisation. Securely strapped and braced to minimise shifting, items remain stable throughout transit, significantly reducing the potential for damage due to movement or vibration.

With Wise Move, your relocation is managed with technical precision and care, ensuring every item arrives safely and securely at your new home.
