Why Buy Your Packing Materials from Hamiltons Removals?
When the time comes to move, you will likely be pleasantly surprised – or shocked – by the number of possessions you have accumulated over the years. Once you have decided what you are going to take with you, one of your priorities will be to make sure you have enough boxes, cartons and other packing materials for the move.
Hamiltons Removals supply packing materials for domestic and commercial customers from their Harleston depot on the border of Suffolk and Norfolk. Here are five reasons why it’s worth ordering from us, whether you are on the move or just need somewhere to store your belongings.
It’s Very Convenient
We are one of the leading storage companies in East Anglia, with depots in Harleston and Aldeby. In fact, our shop in Harleston is right next door to our Safe N Stored rooms. This means that you can buy all the packaging items you need right before you put them into storage.
There’s a Wide Selection
Your possessions come in all shapes and sizes, therefore, so do our packaging materials. For example, there are wardrobe cartons for all your clothes, picture cartons to keep your artwork and precious family pictures safe, and specially designed boxes for glassware and bottles. Whatever you need to pack, there will be a solution for you. We also sell tissue paper and bubble wrap to keep those delicate items safe from damage.
They are High-Quality
You want your loved and cherished possessions to arrive safely at your new home or office, and so do we. That is why all the boxes we sell are double-walled for extra strength. This added strength makes them less likely to collapse at the corners or get crushed under other boxes. Bear in mind, though, that when moving, heavier boxes should always go underneath lighter ones.
We Can Offer Advice
Moving or putting items into storage isn’t something people do many times in a lifetime. Therefore, if you are confused or need a little help, we are here for you. Not just on which items you need to buy, but more importantly, how to pack them. For example, one great tip is to put heavier items in smaller boxes, so you can still carry them easily, and lighter, unbreakable objects in larger boxes.
If packing (and unpacking) isn’t for you or it is something you are not able to do physically or because of time, Hamiltons offer a full packing and unpacking service. We also have a forklift and portering service on-site, and a collection and delivery service, if you have a lot of heavy items you would like to put into self-storage.
Our Special Offers
We have three special offers running this summer. These offers are perfectly tailored to those with a lot to move or put into storage, those with less to move, and those with a lot of clothes. To learn more about these offers, click here.

Advantages of a Video Survey from Hamiltons Removals
One of the most popular additional services Hamiltons Removals currently offers is our video survey – part of our free online moving quotes service. Here we look at the advantages a video survey offers homeowners who are looking to move (especially during these coronavirus times), not just to the UK, but also abroad.
It Saves Time….
Time is precious – it is one commodity that we can neither buy nor get back. Booking a video survey allows you to choose the time that is most convenient for you. This means you don’t have to take a day off work to show visitors around your home.
However, the biggest time saver of a video survey with one of our qualified consultants is that it ensures your move goes without a hitch, and without delay.
…and Money
Travelling to your home to conduct a survey costs both time and money. By choosing a video survey, we cut back on our own travel costs, keeping our overall prices competitive. We also have more time to focus on you and your move and can offer a better all-round service.
And by choosing a video survey we are both doing our bit for the environment, as we are cutting out the need for any potentially lengthy vehicle journeys to and from your home, reducing our carbon footprint.
You Don’t Lose Any Expertise
If this time has taught all of us something, it is that many of us can work very effectively from home without the need for face to face contact with colleagues and clients – video calls have become pivotal in this.
Traditionally, if we had not come to your home to conduct the survey, we would have asked you to fill out a survey yourself. The biggest issue with this is that homeowners often miss something that can cause significant problems during the moving process.
A video survey with one of our qualified consultants will minimise issues and enable you to be more involved in the whole process and to be aware of what needs to be done at each stage.
It Avoids Any Coronavirus Issues
Whether you’re in a vulnerable group and are shielding out of necessity, or are worried about infection video surveys are ideal because they alleviate the concerns associated with breaking “bubbles”, going against government health advice, or figuring out how to effectively socially distance within your home.
Video Surveys from Hamiltons Removals
Video surveys are just one of many services that we offer to make your move easier during these unusual times. If you are caught between homes or you are downsizing and haven’t decided yet what to keep, you can take advantage of our Safe N Stored facilities in Harleston and Aldeby.
To help keep your valuables safe when moving or putting them into storage, we offer specialist insurance and packaging materials, we can even do the packing and unpacking if you want.
All you need to do to get started and begin the video survey process is to follow this link, fill in the online form, and arrange a time with one of our sales team.
