You can probably think of 100 things you’d rather do than fill boxes with your belongings and packing material. Packing can be one of the most tedious parts of the moving process. But do you know how important packing is?
Careful packing is the single most important step in making your moving experience quick, safe, and cost-effective. Failing to properly contain loose or fragile items inside boxes increases the chance that something could be lost or damaged. Also, when a mover has to make an extra trip or two to carry items that could’ve fit inside a box, they waste a ton of time. And since your moving company will charge by the hour, time is literally money!
So, save yourself time, money, and stress. Let us handle your pack for you!

Packing is not billed by the hour. This is because packing is completely dependent on the exact items you want packed instead of the size of your home. We charge for the packing material used plus the labor to pack each box.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to estimate the cost of packing because the cost is completely dependent upon the exact items you want to have packed. Three identically sized apartments could have three totally different pack amounts as each household is unique and each client has different requests! Some clients simply want help packing up their kitchen, whereas other clients want a full-service packing team. Depending on the level of service that you desire, it’s possible that your pack could cost as much as your move.
If you have specific rooms that you’d like help packing, please inform us in advance and your crew will work with you to prioritize those unpacked items.
Packing costs vary greatly, but below we’ve included some historical data averages of packing appointment costs based on dwelling size*:
