Questions and answers
Can you pack just the kitchen?
Yes. The crew can pack selected rooms, with supplies charged as used.
Do I have to choose a package when I book?
No. You decide at the end of the move.
Can packing happen before moving day?
Yes. Packing can be done on moving day itself, or on a separate day ahead of it.
What is the difference between Silver and Golden?
Silver covers mattress covers and bulky fragile items; Golden covers full packing of everything.
The longer answer
Yes, in a few ways
Yes. You can pack everything yourself, have the crew pack selected items with supplies billed as used, or choose one of two packing packages added to the hourly rate. You do not have to decide on a package in advance; you can pick at the end of the move, once you see the numbers side by side.
Packing options
| Option | What it covers | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Basic service | Furniture wrapped in blankets; you pack boxes | Hourly rate only |
| Partial packing | Crew packs what you choose | Supplies charged as used |
| Silver Package | Mattress covers, plus packing of bulky fragile items: TVs, mirrors, large frames, glass tops | +$35/hr |
| Golden Package | Full packing of everything, all supplies and labor | +$70/hr |
Package rates apply to the whole completion time of the move. See packing services for detail.
Deciding after the move
Because packing supplies vary so much from home to home, comparing packages ahead of time is guesswork. So we let you choose at the end. Once the time and supplies are known, you can compare the total with supplies billed as used against the total with Silver or Golden, and pick whichever you prefer. We do not push either one.
For a three-mover team at $175, Silver brings the hour to $210 and Golden to $245. The moving cost guide walks through more examples.
When packing help is worth asking about
- A full kitchen with dishes and glassware
- Large TVs, mirrors or framed art without original boxes
- Little time between closing and moving day
- A large home where packing works better on a separate day before the move
- Belongings heading into storage, where good boxes matter
