When JH Retief Transport (PTY) Ltd does your packing & crating, we only use clean, high quality packing material (for couches, chairs and mattresses) to protect your furniture and goods.
It is essential to consider special wrapping for your precious belongings. Your goods are being handled numerously throughout the duration of a removal. It is very important for us to see that your goods arrive at the new destination in the same condition as before.
This means that you must seriously consider the advice of our professional sales consultants as to which items should be professionally wrapped for the removal. This decision will protect your goods and our reputation as hassle free movers.
* All extra large glass items, need to be to be crated. We offer a full crating service.
