Packing and wrapping in Riyadh
Riyadh’s dust and heat make packing more important than it looks: furniture left an hour in an open truck in the midday sun, or waiting in a building entrance, can suffer if it isn’t wrapped well. Good wrapping also protects against scratches in tight corridors and lifts.
Packing for Riyadh moves
For moves within Riyadh, film and blankets for furniture, bubble wrap for glass and electronics, and boxes for your things are usually enough. If you’re moving from Riyadh to Jeddah or Dammam, or storing your furniture, you need stronger wrapping and new boxes.
You can pack small items yourself and leave furniture and glass to the crew — a common choice that lowers the cost. Read about packing.
What helps the company price the packing
- The number of rooms and the size of the kitchen — it uses the most material.
- Delicate pieces such as chandeliers, large mirrors and paintings, which need special wrapping.
- Full packing, or furniture only.
- Where it’s going: within Riyadh, another city, or storage.
FAQ
Does furniture need special wrapping because of dust?
Stretch film protects upholstered furniture and mattresses from dust, especially if things will wait in a truck or warehouse.
Can packing happen before moving day?
Yes, and it helps in large homes. Agree one day for packing and another for the move.
Does the company supply boxes or do I buy them?
Many companies include boxes and materials in the offer; some sell them separately. Ask, and ask whether the boxes are new or used.
What shouldn’t the company pack?
Important documents, gold, cash and medicines — keep them with you in a small bag on moving day.
