When it comes to moving your home or your items, you’ll want to know that your furniture and possessions are in the safest of hands, handled only by the professionals.
Our movers and packers are vetted, trained and proven in removals of all shapes and sizes, working with you to understand your unique needs and expectations. They know how to secure and manage each item, from loading to unloading. It’s all part of the Wise Move experience.
More importantly, they can adapt to changing situations, putting the security and safety of your possessions first, no matter what challenges appear along the way. Your satisfaction is our responsibility, and we always deliver.
Booking with Wise Move provides a complete service. Our teams are available every step of the way to assist.
If you need packaging materials, we’ll supply them in good time ahead of the move to get a jump on the moving process. If you need guidance or advice on how best to prepare and what to expect, we’re always just a phone call or email away to help out.
When it comes to packing, we’d always recommend limiting box weight to 20kg – this ensures we can stack them on top of each other without anything getting crushed. If you want to place things in a larger box, you can do so, but be sure to label it as heavy so that we know where to place it appropriately in the truck.
Similarly, sticking a big and highly visible FRAGILE sticker on any boxes that contain glass, ceramics or other breakables will ensure we know to handle those boxes with extreme care at all times.
Please also be aware that there are some things we are not able or legally allowed to move. These can include things like explosives, illegal drugs, firearms, dangerous chemicals, jewellery, frozen goods and cash. To ensure a smooth moving experience, it’s always best to ask us if you have any concerns or doubts about your cargo ahead of time so that we can offer solutions.
On the day itself, your specialists will handle all of the big stuff – the loading of large furniture and heavy items. They’ll place these in trucks along with smaller items in boxes to ensure the integrity and safety of everything that goes in; careful stacking ensures that nothing gets broken or smashed. Each mover has the right skills and knowledge to stack and bind furniture and items to keep them safe while on the move.
Once they arrive, your movers will help with unloading, working to your directions on where to place boxes, furniture and installations. When everything is unloaded, if you have any queries or concerns, they’ll will be more than happy to help out wherever they can.
It’s that easy! For trusted removals, always go with Wise Move.
Successful removals are a combination of expertise and equipment, working together to get your stuff where it needs to go. Professional movers on Wise Move have the expertise covered, and when it comes to the equipment, each team is equipped with the best professional-grade tools to get the job done.
With the right equipment at our disposal, awkward and heavy furniture that other teams might not be able to handle become easy to move. From stairwells to multi-storied buildings, we can lift, manoeuvre and manage your items until they’re exactly where you want them.
To ensure you can pack in as much of your stuff as necessary, your movers will have access to trusted, heavy-duty vehicles for both long and short-haul journeys. Each one is equipped with harnesses and clips to fasten and secure, ensuring the safety of your possession as they make their way across South Africa.
Once your possessions make it to their destination, your movers will take all the necessary precautions to protect your home during the move. That includes securing floors, bannisters and carpets to keep them safe from rips, tears and other damage.
When it comes to moving furniture to second and third floors, Wise Move teams use a hoist hire to effortlessly lift your possessions either outside or inside the building. All of this will be confirmed and communicated with you ahead of the move for your peace-of-mind.
If you have any concerns or special requirements for your move, just let us know ahead of time and we can plan accordingly to give you the smoothest and most straightforward moving experience possible.
Finding a mover that works to your schedule can be stressful. Maybe you need an item picked up on a particular day of the week. Or perhaps you need to move in a hurry and only have one day that works for your schedule. Whatever your problem is, we can work to solve it.
We work with a range of movers that are available any day of the week, including weekends and public holidays.
With Wise Move, you don’t have to ring around finding a mover that will work to your requirements. With just one message we save the need for hours of research or countless phone calls. Instead, you’ll get quotes from movers who are available on the days you’ve requested.
Our movers can manage the whole process from top to bottom – packing, loading, transporting, unloading and unpacking all your belongings. We'll take care of everything so you can focus on what's important: enjoying your new home or item.
While our movers can help you with things like disconnecting washers, we advise that appliances must be prepared before moving day. Fridges and freezers must be unplugged, defrosted and cleaned before they are loaded into a van or truck. If there is a problem and you are unable or don’t know how to prepare an item for your move, please let our movers know. On the day of the packing, our teams can arrive with the necessary tools and do it for you before the arranged moving day.
We recommend you get an electrician or plumber for the more serious tasks like mains disconnection/connections.
If you need a clearance and declutter service to clear rooms, garages and attics, we’ll make these arrangements for you and integrate the service into your move.
We know how frustrating moving one item can be. Some movers can’t move small items in a hurry, while for others, it's just not cost-effective. Still, sometimes you need help transporting a large wardrobe, bed, an antique, piano or a very bulky sofa.
For our professionals, no job is too small or too large. No matter what you need to be delivered, our team will get it there Door-to-Door at an affordable price.
