A WhatsApp message is an enquiry, not a booking. We confirm availability, you email your accommodation to authorise access, and we then send a payment link where you accept the Packing Service Terms and pay. Your booking is confirmed at that point.

In short

UNILUG's room packing service in London costs a fixed £169 and covers up to two hours of on-site packing and up to 10 UNILUG boxes, whichever limit is reached first. Packing labour, packaging tape, bubble wrap and collection of the packed items are included. UNILUG boxes, storage and return delivery are charged separately. Packing must be booked in advance and is subject to team availability.

What's Included

WHAT THE £169 COVERS

One fixed fee for the packing visit — no hourly surprises on the day.

🕑
Up to two hours of packing labour
Our team works in your room for up to two hours, packing your belongings into UNILUG storage boxes ready for collection.
🎞️
Packaging tape included
We bring the tape and seal every box properly, so nothing has to be re-taped before it goes into the van.
🫧
Bubble wrap included
Bubble wrap comes with the service for wrapping the more breakable things in your room as they are packed.
🚚
Free collection included
Once the packing is finished, the packed boxes are collected in the same visit — there is no separate collection charge.
Charged Separately

WHAT SITS OUTSIDE THE FEE

So there are no surprises, here is everything the £169 does not cover.

📦
UNILUG boxes
Medium (45 × 40 × 40 cm) £3.95 and Large (70 × 45 × 45 cm) £5.95, purchased separately. All boxed items must be packed in UNILUG boxes.
🏬
Storage
Charged according to the storage duration you choose, per box per month, exactly as it would be for any other booking.
🚛
Return delivery
Bringing your boxes back is charged separately when you book your return — it is not part of the packing fee.
Extra time or extra boxes
More than two hours or more than 10 boxes needs a personalised quote, agreed with you before any further work continues.

UNILUG email: info@unilug.co.uk

I confirm that the belongings in the room belong to me or that I have authority to instruct UNILUG to pack and collect them.

I understand and agree that:

- The Room Packing Service costs £169.
- The service covers up to two hours of packing and up to 10 boxes, whichever limit is reached first.
- Packing labour, tape, bubble wrap and collection are included.
- UNILUG boxes, storage and return delivery are charged separately.

I confirm that I have read and accept the UNILUG Packing Service Terms.

I expressly request that UNILUG carries out the service on the agreed date, including where that date falls within 14 days of booking.

This email is also how you accept the Packing Service terms — see clause 41. If a parent or someone else is paying, you still need to send it yourself, because the room and the belongings are yours.

Who It's For

WHEN PACKING HELP MAKES SENSE

The students and parents who book this most often.

✈️
International students heading home
Flying out soon after your tenancy ends and would rather hand the packing over than spend your last days on it.
🙌
Students who'd rather not pack alone
A room's worth of belongings is a lot to box up on your own. Our team brings the materials and does the work with you.
👪
Parents arranging things remotely
Sorting a move-out from another city or country: you tell us the address and date, we handle the packing and collection.
Last-minute move-outs
A late change of plan or a fast-approaching hand-back date — subject to availability, we can often help at short notice.
📚
Limited time before your tenancy ends
Exams, work or travel eating into your final week? Two hours of packing help can be the difference on move-out day.

Common Questions

PACKING SERVICE FAQ

What does the £169 packing service include?
The £169 fixed service fee covers up to two hours of on-site packing labour, packaging tape, bubble wrap and free collection of the packed items. UNILUG storage boxes, storage and return delivery are charged separately.
Are UNILUG boxes included in the £169?
No. The £169 covers the packing work, not the boxes themselves. UNILUG boxes are bought separately — Medium (45 × 40 × 40 cm) at £3.95 and Large (70 × 45 × 45 cm) at £5.95. All boxed items must be packed in UNILUG boxes.
How long will the team pack for?
Up to two hours on site. The service also has a limit of 10 UNILUG boxes, and it ends when either limit is reached first — so reaching two hours does not guarantee that all 10 boxes will have been packed.
What happens if packing takes longer than two hours?
The team stops at two hours. If you need longer, we can quote for additional time, and any extra charge is agreed with you before the team carries on working. Nothing extra is charged without your agreement.
What happens if I need more than 10 boxes?
More than 10 boxes needs a personalised quote. Tell us roughly how many boxes you expect when you enquire and we will quote before the packing date rather than on the day.
Is collection included?
Yes. Collection of the packed items is included in the £169 — there is no separate collection charge for a packing booking.
Are storage and return delivery included?
No. Storage is charged according to the storage duration you choose, and return delivery is charged separately at £7.99 per box within 25 miles of the collection address. The £169 covers the packing visit only.
How do I book the packing service?
Message UNILUG on WhatsApp with your packing address, preferred date and roughly how many boxes you expect — that is an enquiry, not a booking. We confirm the team's availability, then you email your accommodation reception to authorise access and copy us in (we send you the wording). Once access is confirmed we send a payment link for the £169, where you accept the Packing Service Terms and pay. Payment confirms the booking. It is not sold through our website checkout because every booking needs availability and building access confirmed first.
Where is the packing service available?
London only. Storage collection covers other areas, but the room packing service itself is offered in London and is subject to team availability on your date.
Can I use a promotional code on the packing service?
No. Promotional codes such as EARLYBIRD apply to eligible items at checkout and do not reduce the £169 packing service fee. The fee is fixed.
