Moving is especially difficult when you have irregularly shaped, heavy and delicate items. You would have to make special efforts in order to ensure that you pack them correctly and safely. But even then this really takes experience to do it correctly. And with the value of your china collection or your expensive painting, paying for packing fees is worth it because the professional packers would already know how to handle the items. For instance, they would know how to fit items into boxes. They would also be experts in providing extra padding and wrapping which are needed to prevent damage during transit.

Professional movers would also have the right equipment to make the work faster and safer. With the right equipment, even the heavy items can be easily lifted and loaded to the moving truck. There would be fewer incidences of your things being dropped or bumped into anything. And so, they are safer from chips, breakage and other damage.

Professional movers would also know that paintings and electronic equipment require special insulation. And they would surely pack them accordingly as well. Since these items can be sensitive and expensive, losses are very likely to happen if you do not have the experts do the packing and transporting. It's worth the extra cost though because you ensure the safety of your things.
