Packing options explained

Which Packing Option Fits Your Move?

Decide if you need your entire home packed, help with high-effort rooms, or just careful handling for breakables. When requesting a quote, note the areas you want help with and any special instructions. You can always ask how to combine services or change the scope as your move date approaches.

Full Packing

All rooms and categories are packed, including household goods, fragile items, decor, and closets. This is suitable if you want a hands-off move or need detailed inventory for delivery or storage. Only your personal essentials and restricted items are set aside in advance.

Partial or Fragile-Only Packing

You select specific rooms or item categories (like the kitchen, books, or electronics), or request professional packing only for fragile items. Remaining areas can be packed at your own pace, keeping you in control of the process.

How to get ready

Materials, Prep, and Packing Day Organization

Before your packing team arrives, gather loose items in each room and declutter as much as possible. Separate wallets, keys, medications, personal documents, and anything irreplaceable—you’ll take these with you.

Let the office know if you have items headed to multiple destinations, need certain boxes labeled for storage or special access, or want boxes numbered by room or contents. Packing materials are supplied with service, but ask if you have non-standard items or want to provide specific containers.

If your plan includes storage, check whether there are contents not permitted for storage (such as perishables or hazardous materials). Communicate any mixed or complex delivery points so everything ends up where you need it.

Packing Services questions

Make the service, access and schedule clear before your move begins.

Can I mix items I pack myself with items packed by movers?

Yes, you can combine your own packed boxes with those packed by the crew. Let the office know which boxes you’ll complete and which you want professionally handled, so everything gets labeled properly.

How should I handle fragile or specialty items?

Set aside fragile items you’d like movers to pack and discuss any unusual pieces—such as artwork or electronics—in advance with the office. For specialty crating or non-standard needs, confirm options before your move.

What do I need to do before the packing team arrives?

Declutter, group items by room, and clearly separate personal and essential belongings. Advise the moving team of any items requiring unique packing or those that should be excluded from service.

Will boxes be labeled by room or destination?

Yes—let your movers know your preferred labeling system: by room, department, delivery address, or storage. This helps keep items organized during delivery or when using storage.

How should I prepare for packing if some items stay with me or go to storage?

Organize items for each destination beforehand. Let movers know what stays, what is for storage, and what travels with you, to ensure boxes are packed and labeled for each specific location.
