      What’s the Hardest Part of Moving? All the Packing.

      Maybe you’re feeling a little brave. Maybe you’re feeling a little cheap. You’ve got some old Amazon boxes, and you’ve got some old t-shirts that will totally work instead of bubble wrap. So before your big move, you’re thinking of doing all your wrapping and packing by yourself.

      Of course, if you’ve ever DIY’d a move before, you’d know that cheaping out on the packing isn’t such a hot idea. Those Amazon boxes? They’re gonna break. Those t-shirts? They’re not as protective as the real deal. And all that time, energy, and money you’ve spent doing it yourself? Let’s just say some luxuries are worth paying for – especially since they aren’t even that pricey in the first place.

      At Moving APT, our team has boxed, padded, double-wrapped, and bubble-wrapped moves for over 500,000 local and long-distance customers. We’ve spent over 20 years fine-tuning our packing skills: We’ve mastered the arts of custom crating, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and even hoisting big-ticket items out windows when they won’t fit through doors. We’ll even let you pick and choose your packing services so you get a completely custom experience.

      Packing is the hardest part of the job, and you’ve got better things to do with your time. Book full-service packing with Moving APT, and let the pros handle the rest.

      Why Choose Packing Services with Moving APT?

      The other guys talk a big game, but we say that’s a load of wet cardboard. Here’s why Moving APT is the best packing company in the business:

      High-Quality Supplies

      We’re moving your precious cargo, so we don’t skimp on quality when it comes to our boxes and padding supplies. We use sturdy boxes, and eco-friendly containers.

      Custom Packing Plans

      Every job is different. We’ll build a custom inventory list, and then create a moving and packing plan that’s completely tailored to match your needs.

      A One-Stop Shop

      Need more than just packing? We can take care of the loading and hauling. Want to DIY as much as possible? Say the word, and we’ll deliver the supplies.

      Our Packing Services

      Every job is different, and that’s why we offer a whole menu of packing services. Choose the ones you need, and we’ll make sure you get a completely custom relocation.

      Full Packing Services

      When we say “full packing services”, we really mean it. Our packing teams will show up at your doorstep with boxes and padding for every item you own. And once we wrap everything up, it’ll be ready for loading and hauling – no DIY packing necessary.

      When you book our full service packing, you’re getting the full spread of must-haves and add-ons. From custom crating to unpacking, it’s all included in a full-packing job. We’ll even come prepared with high-quality boxes, bubble wrap, furniture dollies, and everything else the job requires.

      Best Partial Packing Services

      Partial Packing Services

      Some folks are a little more down to DIY. We respect the grind, and we respect your commitment. But when it comes to those large items (like pianos, appliances, and bulky furniture), we’re betting you tossed the boxes a long time ago.

      Fortunately, Moving APT also offers partial packing services. If you’re trying to save some cash but you’re not willing to go full “wrap it in a blanket and see how our TV ends up,” we’ll swing by with the boxing and padding for those one or two items. It’s a good midpoint between complete DIY and a full-service packing job, and you’re still getting the same TLC from our trusted teams.

      Custom Crating

      Life would be so much easier if everything fit neatly into 21” x 15” x 16” boxes. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. That’s why Moving APT offers custom crating for everything else.

      If it doesn’t fit in a box, we’ll build a box around it. Our teams have the tools and supplies to build sturdy crates around anything that needs it, from vintage motorcycles to abstract objets d’art. Don’t worry about the hardware: it’s all included when our crating team shows up. Plus, we can even hoist it out the window if it won’t fit through the door.

      Unpacking Services

      Unpacking Services

      When you get to your new place, you should spend some time getting your bearings, meeting your neighbors, and finding your new favorite restaurant or cafe. In short, we think you have better things to do than unpacking a ton of boxes.

      Moving APT offers unpacking services to make the transition to point B even easier. We’ll carefully unload and unwrap all of your items, and we’ll make sure it’s all placed in the right place. Just tell us where you want it, and we’ll deal with all the empty cardboard after the job’s done.

      Specialty Item Packing

      Pianos, pool tables, art, antiques – we’ve seen it all, and we’ve packed it all, too. We always bring our A-game when it comes to boxing and padding, but if you’ve got anything that needs a little extra TLC, book specialty item packing with Moving APT.

      Specialty item packing requires a bit of planning and prep. It also takes clear communication about what items need extra attention, and how we’ll provide that extra protection. Whether it’s just extra double wrap or sending a verified art transporter, we’ll make sure your treasures are safe and secure from the first mile to the last.

      DIY Packing Supplies

      DIY Packing Supplies

      We’re professional movers, but we’re not gonna get in the way if you want to DIY the whole stretch. In fact, we can even help out by providing our high-quality boxes, padding, and loading and hauling equipment.

      Would we like it if you booked our packing services? Yeah, of course. But we know money’s tight these days, and we know that sometimes you just want to make an adventure out of your big move. We’ll drop off the packing supplies you need, and you can take care of the rest. No questions asked. (But if you change your mind and need some extra help, we’re all ears.)

      Here’s How Our Packing Services Work

      Professional packing makes your whole move easier. When you choose Moving APT for your packing, we’ll handle the whole process and keep you in the loop at every step of the way. And to make your move even smoother, we’ve made it easy to book, too.

      All you have to do is tell us how far you’re going, and what you’re transporting. We’ll build an in-depth inventory list, and we’ll send you a binding quote, free of charge. You look over the quote, see what you’re getting on the big day, and decide whether it’s the right choice. No pressure, and no up-front fees.

      When moving day rolls around – and even before moving day, if the job’s big enough – we’ll send one of our packing crews with all the tools, supplies, and equipment they need to pack up your belongings. Our packing teams are vetted and verified, and we keep close tabs on them to make sure they’re using the best materials and the best techniques.

      Once everything is safely wrapped up and securely boxed, our packing teams will clear out to keep the rest of the move simple and smooth. And if you need a little extra help (like heavy lifting, or long-haul transportation) don’t worry – we can take care of that, too.

      If you value your time, your sanity, and your belongings, paying for professional packing is worth the extra cash. And if you want to pack for a move, it’s best to work with a team you can trust. That’s Moving APT, and that’s how our professional packing works.

      Packing FAQs

      Packing can cost you anywhere between $200 and $2,000. It depends on how much stuff you have, but contrary to what most people believe, it’s not something that’ll break the bank. Your final price also depends on what type of packing you’ll need. If you just need a few heavy items packed, or you want some extra protection for your art or antiques, it’ll be cheaper than wrapping and boxing for every single item.

      It’ll take between 3 and 5 days to pack a 3-bedroom house, but that’s assuming A: You’re doing it yourself, and B: You’re somehow crazy organized and have all the boxes and packing supplies already. Want to get it done faster (and easier)? Just book professional packers. And if you want the pros to step on the gas a little, try to stage all your stuff in one easy-to-access corner or bedroom. That way, nobody has to go searching around the house for missing items.
      We recommend starting to pack at least 2 to 3 months in advance. It’s a huge window, but look at it this way: That’s just 8 to 12 weekends. When have you ever had 8 weekends in a row without something coming up and derailing your plans? It’s better to get a head start on your packing so you don’t end up panicking. As an added bonus, if you book your move 2 to 3 months in advance also, you’re more likely to score some sweet discounts.
      If you’re DIYing your packing, we recommend starting with the least-used, non-essential items first. Stuff like seasonal decor can go into a box like… right now. And stuff that you always use? That should go into the very last box you pack – or even better, you essentials bag, considering how often you use it (more on that later). Ideally, you should be boxing up your Christmas ornaments ASAP, and your toothbrush and deodorant last-minute (we hope).

      There are a few ways to make moving easier. For starters, we’re big fans of downsizing before you shop for quotes. Sell off or dispose of unwanted items so you don’t have to pack them up. And as you get closer to moving day, put your packed boxes in one easy-to-access area so your movers don’t have to wander all over the house for your belongings.

      As for quality of life, we’re big proponents of the essentials bag. This is basically a suitcase or backpack that you’ve filled with all the goodies you need for a mini-vacation or weekend trip. A few changes of clothes, your toiletries, your phone, laptop, and chargers, etc. This way, you won’t have to go digging through boxes for your toothbrush.
