Packing & unpacking

Packing Services, From One Room to the Whole House

Full or partial packing with professional boxes and plenty of paper, every box labeled for its room, and unpacking and setup at the other end if you want it.

Save days, not just hours

Packed Right, Unpacked Fast

Packing is the part of moving that eats weekends. Our crews pack quickly and carefully with heavy-duty boxes in small, medium and large sizes, packing paper, tape and shrink wrap, and they pack each box so it stacks tight in the truck. That’s half of what keeps your things from shifting and breaking on the road.

Choose what fits your budget: we can pack everything, just the kitchen and the breakables, or only the rooms you haven’t gotten to. You only pay for the materials used.

Three Ways to Pack

Most popular

Full packing

We pack the whole home ahead of moving day. You set aside what travels with you, we do the rest.

Partial packing

You pack the easy stuff; we handle the kitchen, glassware, artwork and the rooms you never got to.

Pack it yourself

Pick up professional boxes, paper and tape from us. See packing supplies.

Unpacking & setup

Home by Dinner, Not Next Month

Unpacking is the job that drags on for weeks. Book it with your move and we’ll unpack boxes into cabinets and closets, set up beds and tables, and put things where they belong.

“They Packed My Belongings With Excellence”

My mom and I were scammed by a moving company and lost our deposit. I called Josh at Fox Relocation Service and he absolutely saved the day. He and his team packed up everything and moved my mom and me from Michigan back to Colorado in less than a week.

Google reviewerGoogle review · Michigan to Colorado

Excellent communication skills, wrapped all my antiques in bubble wrap and everything arrived on time and was in the same shape as it left.

Packing Tips From Our Crews

  • Heavy things in small boxes, light things in big ones. Books and dishes never go in large boxes.
  • Fill every box to the top with paper so it doesn’t crush when stacked. Half-empty boxes collapse.
  • Wrap each dish and glass, and stand plates on edge, never flat.
  • Label the top and a side with the room and “fragile” where it applies, and number your boxes.
  • Don’t pack flammables, propane, paint, cleaning chemicals, aerosols or pool chemicals. We can’t move them.

Packing questions

Packing FAQ

How are packing materials charged?

Boxes, tape and packing paper are billed for what’s actually used on your move. Wardrobe boxes can be used on moving day and returned. Your written estimate will spell it out.

Do I need to empty my dressers?

Clothes can usually stay in standard dressers. Take out anything heavy, fragile or valuable (books, jewelry, artwork). Large, heavy armoires should be emptied; use our wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes.

When do you pack?

For a full home we schedule packing ahead of moving day, so the move itself is just loading. We’ll set the timing with you in your estimate.
