Our movers and packers in Cape Town are thoroughly vetted, highly trained, and experienced in removals of all sizes.

Should you require packaging materials, we’ll provide them well in advance to streamline your move. If you seek advice or when to expect certain steps, we’re just a phone call or email away, ready to assist.
Regarding packing, we recommend keeping box weights to a maximum of 20kg to facilitate stacking without risk of crushing. For larger boxes, ensure they are marked as heavy so we can load them correctly into the vehicle.
Additionally, affix a large and visible FRAGILE sticker to any boxes containing glass, ceramics, or other breakables to guarantee they are treated with the utmost care during the move.
Do note that there are certain items we cannot, or are legally restricted from, transporting. These may include explosives, illicit drugs, firearms, hazardous chemicals, jewellery, perishable goods, and cash. For an uninterrupted move, please inquire with us if you have any concerns or questions about your items so we can suggest alternatives.
On moving day, our specialists will handle all substantial matters: the loading of large furniture and heavy items, carefully arranging them with smaller boxed items to maintain the integrity and safety of all possessions. Each mover is equipped with the expertise to effectively stack and secure furniture and items, ensuring their safety in transit.
Upon arrival, your movers will assist with unloading, following your instructions on where to distribute boxes, furniture, and fittings. Post-unloading, if you have any questions or issues, they’ll be more than willing to offer assistance.

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, our platform has all the right people to deliver your furniture and possessions, wherever you are in South Africa.

Better yet, we can work closely with your family, friends or employees under remote instruction from you as the client to get everything packed and delivered. You don’t even have to be at the point of collection or final destination; you can trust our movers to get the job done to your highest levels of satisfaction.
