When you're positioned to relocate your household or belongings in Durban, it's crucial to know that your furniture and possessions are handled with utmost care by experienced professionals.
Our movers and packers in Durban are thoroughly vetted, expert, and skilled in handling removals of all sizes and complexities, collaborating with you to grasp your specific needs and expectations. They are adept at securing and managing every item from loading to unloading. This is the essence of the Wise Move experience.
Critically, they can adjust to evolving conditions, prioritising the safety and security of your possessions regardless of any challenges encountered. Your satisfaction is our commitment, and we consistently deliver on that promise.
Booking with Wise Move offers an all-encompassing service. Our moving companies are available every step of the way to assist.
If you require packaging materials, we ensure their timely supply before your move to expedite the process. Should you need guidance or advice on preparation and expectations, we're merely a phone call or email away, ready to assist.
For packing, we suggest keeping box weights to a maximum of 20kg – this allows for safe stacking without risk of crushing. If packing into larger boxes, clearly mark them as heavy to guide proper placement within the truck.
Similarly, affix a prominent FRAGILE label on boxes containing glass, ceramics, or other delicate items to ensure they are handled with extraordinary care.
Please be mindful that certain items are prohibited or legally restricted from being transported. These include explosives, illegal drugs, firearms, hazardous chemicals, jewellery, frozen goods, and cash. To facilitate a seamless moving experience, we encourage discussing any concerns about your cargo ahead of time so we can propose suitable solutions.
On the move day, our specialists will oversee the heavy lifting – loading large furniture and heavy items. These are placed alongside smaller boxed items in trucks to maintain safety and integrity; methodical stacking ensures nothing is damaged. Each mover is equipped with the necessary skills to stack and secure furniture and items safely during transit.
Upon arrival, your movers will assist with unloading, following your instructions on where to position boxes, furniture, and fittings. Once unloading is complete, should you have any inquiries or concerns, they will gladly assist in any way possible.
It's that straightforward! For reliable removals, always choose Wise Move.
Effective removals in Durban involve a blend of expertise and top-notch equipment to ensure your belongings reach their destination safely. The professional movers on Wise Move are well-versed in their craft, and they are fully outfitted with high-grade tools to efficiently complete your move.
With access to specialised equipment, even bulky and unwieldy furniture becomes manageable. From navigating staircases to handling higher floors, our teams are adept at lifting, manoeuvring, and positioning your items exactly where you need them.
To maximise the volume of items you can transport, your movers utilise reliable, heavy-duty vehicles suitable for both local and long-distance bookings. These vehicles come equipped with harnesses and clips to secure your possessions, ensuring their safe journey across Durban.
Upon arrival at your new place, our movers take all necessary steps to safeguard your home throughout the process. This includes protecting floors, bannisters, and carpets from damage such as rips and tears.

Our movers in Durban handle every aspect of your relocation process — from packing and loading to transporting, unloading, and unpacking your items. We manage all the details, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: settling into your new home or enjoying your newly relocated belongings.
While our movers can assist with tasks such as disconnecting washing machines, we advise preparing appliances before moving day. Ensure fridges and freezers are unplugged, defrosted, and cleaned prior to loading. If you encounter any issues or are unsure how to ready an item for your move, simply inform our movers. On packing day, our teams can bring the necessary tools and handle these tasks before your scheduled moving date.
For more complex jobs like mains disconnections or connections, we recommend hiring a qualified electrician or plumber.

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.
