Moving handled with care

When relocating your home or belongings in Durban, ensuring your furniture and possessions are handled by expert professionals is crucial.

Our movers and packers in Durban are rigorously vetted and trained, adept at managing relocations of all types and sizes. They work closely with you to understand your specific requirements and expectations, ensuring each item is managed skillfully from loading to unloading. This is the hallmark of the Wise Move experience.

More significantly, our team can adapt to evolving situations, prioritising the safety and security of your possessions regardless of any obstacles. Your satisfaction is our commitment, and we consistently deliver.

Booking with Wise Move means comprehensive service. Our moving companies are present throughout to support you.

Should you require packaging supplies, we ensure they're delivered promptly before the move, allowing you to get a head start. For advice or insights on preparation and expectations, we’re just a phone call or email away to assist.

For packing, we suggest limiting box weight to 20kg to stack them without crushing contents. Larger boxes can be used but should be labelled as heavy to assist with truck placement.

Also, use a prominent FRAGILE sticker for boxes containing breakables like glass or ceramics, ensuring careful handling.

Be aware there are certain items we cannot move due to legal restrictions, such as explosives, illegal substances, firearms, dangerous chemicals, jewellery, frozen goods, and cash. To ensure a seamless move, please inquire about your cargo beforehand, so we can provide guidance.

On the moving day, our experts will manage all the large items, loading furniture and heavy boxes securely in the trucks alongside smaller items to maintain safety. Each mover is skilled in stacking and securing items to ensure their protection during transit.

Upon arrival, your movers will assist with unloading and arranging items according to your instructions. If you have any questions or concerns after unloading, they’ll be glad to assist wherever possible.

It’s that straightforward! For dependable removals, choose Wise Move.

Customisable service

Our movers in Durban handle every step of your move—from packing and loading to transporting, unloading, and unpacking your items. We manage everything so you can concentrate on the important stuff: settling into your new home or enjoying your renewed space.

Our team can assist with disconnecting appliances like washers, but remember to prepare these items ahead of moving day.

On packing day, our team can bring the necessary tools to assist you before the scheduled move.

Full packing service

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.

That’s a Wise Move guarantee.
