Packing, Unpacking, and Moving Services

Packing services involve professional movers carefully packing your belongings using specialized materials and techniques. Yes, they are a core offering of full-service moves, designed to save you time and reduce stress by handling all aspects of preparing your items for transport.

Full-service packing typically includes all labor, high-quality packing materials (boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper), and the systematic packing of all your household or office items. Professional movers handle everything from disassembling furniture to carefully wrapping fragile items..

The cost of packing services varies based on the volume of items, the complexity of the packing required (e.g., antiques, specialty items), and the type of materials used. While it adds to the overall cost, many find the convenience and security it offers to be a worthwhile investment. Get a detailed quote to understand the exact cost.

Yes, most full-service moving companies offer partial packing services. This allows you to select specific areas or items for professional packing (e.g., kitchenware, electronics, or just fragile items) while you handle the rest, providing flexibility to fit your budget and needs.

Professional movers use industry-standard, high-quality packing materials designed for safe transport. This includes sturdy double-walled moving boxes of various sizes, specialized dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, packing paper, furniture pads, and heavy-duty packing tape.

When you opt for professional packing services, items packed by the movers are generally covered under their valuation or insurance policies, often offering better protection than if you packed them yourself. Always confirm the specifics of your moving company's liability and insurance coverage.

The time it takes for full-service packing depends on the size of your home/office and the volume of items. A typical household might take anywhere from a few hours to a full day or more for comprehensive packing by a team of professional movers.

Many full-service movers offer optional unpacking services. This can range from simply unboxing and placing items on flat surfaces to complete unpacking and debris removal, helping you settle into your new home much faster and with less effort.

The benefits of professional packing include significant time savings, reduced stress, proper handling of delicate and valuable items, access to specialized packing materials, and usually better insurance coverage for items packed by the movers. It ensures a more efficient and secure move, because everything is done by the same company which means they’re going to get it done a lot faster, and their insurance is going to cover everything as well — instead of having two different services and two different types of cargo coverage. Having everything done by the same company makes everything easier and will most likely be a lot more affordable than breaking it up into two separate companies.
