Our vetted and skilled movers and packers in Cape Town are well-practised in handling removals of every kind, working closely with you to understand your specific needs and expectations. They are adept at securing and managing items throughout the entire process, from loading to unloading. This is at the heart of the Wise Move experience.

Should you need packaging materials, we will provide them well in advance, allowing you to get a head start on the process. If you seek advice on preparation and expectations, we're always just a phone call or email away, ready to assist.
For packing, we recommend keeping box weights under 20kg for efficient stacking without risk of damage. If using larger boxes, clearly mark them as heavy so we can handle their placement in the truck appropriately.
For boxes containing glass, ceramics, or other fragile items, affixing a visible FRAGILE sticker will ensure we treat them with extra care throughout the move.
Please note that there are some items we cannot move, such as explosives, illegal drugs, firearms, hazardous chemicals, jewellery, frozen goods, and cash. To guarantee a trouble-free move, please consult us if you have any questions or doubts about your cargo beforehand so we can offer guidance.
On the moving day, our experts will manage all large furniture and heavy items, loading them into trucks with other boxed items to maintain their integrity and safety. Proper stacking techniques are employed to prevent breakages. Each mover is equipped with the skills and expertise to secure furniture and items safely while in transit.
Upon arrival, your movers will assist in unloading and follow your instructions for placing boxes, furniture, and installations. After everything is unloaded, they are more than willing to address any questions or concerns you may have.
It's that straightforward! For reliable removals, always choose Wise Move.

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.
