If you require packaging materials, we will provide them well in advance to streamline your moving process. Whether you need guidance or advice on preparation and what to expect, we're always just a phone call or email away to assist.
For packing, we suggest limiting box weight to 20kg, allowing us to stack them safely without risking damage. If larger boxes are necessary, be sure to label them as heavy so our team knows how to position them properly in the truck.
Additionally, placing a prominent FRAGILE sticker on boxes containing glass, ceramics, or other delicate items will ensure these are handled with the utmost care.
Please note that some items cannot be moved legally or for safety reasons. These include explosives, illegal drugs, firearms, dangerous chemicals, jewellery, frozen goods, and cash. For a smooth experience, it's best to consult with us in advance if you have any concerns or uncertainties about specific items, and we’ll help find a solution.
On moving day, your specialists will take care of loading large furniture and heavy items, arranging them alongside smaller boxed items to protect everything during transit. Each mover is skilled in stacking and securing items to ensure they remain safe while on the move.
Upon arrival, your movers will assist with unloading, following your instructions on where to place boxes, furniture, and installations. Should you have any questions or issues, they're more than willing to assist wherever possible.

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.
From the smallest rural community to the biggest city, Wise Move provides reliable moving teams ready to deliver your furniture and possessions anywhere in South Africa.
