Sealing a packed moving box with tape

What to expect

Packing is where most moving damage starts, so our packers use the same method on every job: heavy items in small boxes, paper-wrapped dishes stacked on edge, cell kits for glassware and wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes. Boxes are labeled on two sides with the room and a short contents list.

Choose full packing, a partial pack of the kitchen and fragile items, or unpacking only. Unpacking includes flattening and removing every box and all paper the same day.

"They packed our entire kitchen in three hours. Every box was labeled by room and our dishes arrived without a single chip."

Rahul Venkataraman, Ballantyne

How it works

  1. Room count

    We estimate boxes and packer hours by room during your walkthrough.

  2. Packing day

    Usually the day before the move so moving day stays calm.

  3. Labeled load

    Boxes load by room so they land in the right place.

  4. Unpack and clear

    Kitchens first, then bedrooms, then every box gone.
