A practical starting point

A 60-crate package is a practical starting point for many larger North Shore homes. Choose 40 for a typical two-bedroom apartment or townhouse, and use the package selector if you are between sizes.

A better local plan.

Good packing advice depends on the route between your front door and the moving vehicle. These are the details worth planning in North Shore.

Treat stairs as part of the plan

Do not fill every container to its maximum weight when the route includes stairs or a long path to the driveway. Spread books and kitchenware across crates and use the dolly for level sections.

Allow for sloped driveways

A sloping driveway changes how a stack should be moved and parked. Keep crates level, avoid tall unstable towers and confirm where the delivery vehicle can safely stop before the handover.

Separate family-room packing

Homes with multiple bedrooms, studies and storage areas are easier to unpack when every crate has a room label. Use two-sided labels so the destination stays visible in a stack.

Move-day checklist / North Shore

Make the
handover easy.

A few small decisions before delivery keep the crates useful instead of turning them into another obstacle.

01Walk the delivery path and identify stairs, gates, narrow turns and the safest stack location.
02Pack dense items across several crates instead of making one heavy book or kitchen crate.
03Set up a collection zone in the garage or entry area that stays accessible after unpacking.

Good to know / North Shore

Local questions,
answered.

Clear answers before you choose a package or schedule delivery.

Are crates suitable for a North Shore house with stairs?

They can be, provided each crate is packed to a manageable weight and carried safely. Use towels or paper for padding, and use the dolly on level ground rather than attempting unsafe stair handling.

How many crates do larger North Shore homes need?

Many three-bedroom homes start around 60 crates, while four- and five-bedroom homes may need 70 or 90. The right number depends on storage, books and how much you own.

Will the delivery fee be different for my suburb?

Packshift calculates delivery and pickup charges from the two addresses at checkout. Confirm your exact address for the most accurate total.
