Packing & Crating

Most damage in a move happens because something was packed in a hurry. Our packers use the right box for every item, wrap dishes one by one, keep heavy things low and light things high, and label every box for the room it is going to. The result is one of the lowest claim counts in the industry.

Pick the plan that fits: full-service packing, fragile-only packing, or pack yourself and let us wrap and load the furniture. Pieces that need more than a box get a custom crate built to measure.

A great fit for

  • Kitchens full of dishes and glassware
  • Fine art, mirrors and framed pieces
  • TVs, electronics and glass tabletops
  • Anyone short on time before moving day
