Frequently asked questions

What does packing cost?

A one-room flat is typically 20 000 – 40 000 Ft, a three-room flat 50 000 – 100 000 Ft. Hourly it's 3 500 – 6 500 Ft per person, materials on top.

How long does it take?

Two people pack a two-room flat in 4–7 hours. If there's a cellar or storage unit, add half a day — it's almost always more than you expect.

Who supplies the boxes?

Usually you buy them, though many packers will source them. A two-room flat typically needs 25–40 boxes plus bubble wrap and tape.

Do they pack valuables too?

Carry jewellery, documents, cash and laptops yourself — that's the normal practice. For everything else, label by room; that's what makes unpacking fast.
