What should I know about professional packing services

Your moving company can take the burden of packing your house off your hands! Knowing a

little about packing can make it a smoother process.

First, moving and packing are usually done separately. It is not efficient (or safe for your

belongings) to try to pack while movers are working around you. Additionally, it is best for

everything to be packed and ready on move day so the movers can see everything and make a

plan for loading your truck tightly and efficiently. For these reasons, we will schedule separate

dates for your packing service and moving service. For the best scheduling options, call us well

before your move to reserve your desired dates!

For the most accurate estimate of cost and time, make sure you show your estimator or moving

representative the inside of all cabinets, drawers, closets, and shelves to be packed. This lets

us plan for all needed materials and packers to complete your household packing.

On pack day, you should be present to show the packing team exactly what you want

boxed.People have different expectations when they ask for packing. For instance, when you

say to pack a bedroom, you may or may not want your crew to pack your bedside table contents

or your personal toiletries. Don’t be afraid to be very specific so that your needs are met and

nothing is left behind.

There are certain things that are prohibited by law for us to pack or move and other things that

we decline to transport:

We include a list of those items when you book your move, but here are a few common things

that you should not expect us to pack:

• Exceptionally valuable items such as jewelry, coins, etc.

• Cleaning products or chemicals of any kind

• Flammables such as gasoline and paint thinners

• Alcohol

• Perishable or open food

• Plants
