No, packaging materials and supplies are not included in the initial quotation.

Helpers / Labours

The number of helpers you can order for your move depends on the size of the van you have chosen. For most moves, you can order one or two helpers along with one van.

If you order one helper, it means that the driver will assist to load and unload the van.
If you order 2 men it means that the driver and helper will do all the loading.
