Packing services vary. Some customers want everything packed; others need help only with fragile items or the rooms they cannot finish. The important thing is to agree the boundary before the team arrives.

Describe the unfinished work

Tell the company which rooms are packed, what still needs boxing, which items are fragile, and what must not be packed. Ask whether materials, labelling, dismantling and disposal of used materials are included for your particular booking.

Your next step: What Does a Packing Service Actually Include?

Turn the article into a short note for your own what does a packing service actually include?: record the facts that affect the decision, check them against the relevant official or provider guidance, and confirm anything booking-specific in writing. That keeps useful preparation separate from assumptions about a particular move.
