The longer answer
Yes, pick the rooms
Absolutely. If you only want help with certain rooms or items, the crew packs just those, and you handle the rest. There is no separate packing fee. Partial packing is billed at your regular hourly rate with supplies charged as used, and the Silver Package is an option for bulky fragile pieces.
What people usually hand over
| Area | Why people delegate it |
|---|---|
| Kitchen | Most breakables per square foot, and the most time-consuming room |
| China cabinet or bar | Stemware and crystal need careful wrapping |
| TVs, mirrors, big art | Need special boxes most people do not have |
| Bookshelves | Heavy boxes, easy to overfill |
Setting it up
- When you request a quote, tell us which rooms or items you want packed.
- David plans crew size and time so packing fits into the day.
- Pack your own rooms in sturdy, sealed boxes before the crew arrives.
- On the day, the team packs the rooms you chose, then loads everything.
- At the end, you compare the standard total with the Silver and Golden totals and pick the lower one if you like.
For a kitchen with a lot of china, packing can even happen the day before the move. See packing and storage for longer timelines.
How the cost compares
Partial packing usually costs less than full packing because the crew spends fewer hours wrapping. If the rooms you hand over turn out to be most of the house, though, the Golden rate may come out lower at the end, since it bundles labor and supplies. No need to guess ahead of time: the comparison is made with the real hours and materials in front of you. Our packing services page outlines each option, and the moving cost guide covers hourly rates.
Questions and answers
Can the crew pack only my fragile items?
Yes. Point out the pieces, and the team packs them at the hourly rate with supplies billed as used.
Is there a minimum for partial packing?
Packing time is part of the move, so it simply counts toward the job's total hours.
Will I be pushed toward a package?
No. You see the totals at the end and choose for yourself.
