What sets us apart
How we handle white glove packing
Planned before we pack
Before your move starts, our movers review your items and work out how each one will be packed and which materials it needs. It is how we get you to your new home safely.
Hard-to-pack items are included
TVs, lamps, electronics, small mirrors, sculptures, artwork, glass and marble items, and all of your hanging clothes are always included in our standard moving package.
Packing for long-term storage
Going into storage? We double wrap your items, add special protection for the longer stay, and shrink wrap them to keep the dust off.
Last-minute packing
When you need to move in a New York minute, our last-minute packing service can help you get it all boxed in time.
In more detail
How we pack, item by item
The plan comes before the first box
Before your move starts, our movers review your items and develop a customized approach to how they will pack. For each item we work out which materials it needs. It is how we move smart and get you to your new home safely and smoothly.
We use a specific procedure for each kind of item. Lamps go in special boxes, mattresses go into special bags, and flat-screen TVs have their own packing procedure.
Items we always special-pack
Hard-to-pack items are always part of our standard moving package. We know from experience that it is better to leave these to the professionals.
- Flat-screen TVs, wrapped and packed in plasma boxes
- Lamps, packed in lamp boxes
- Electronics, wrapped and packed in cardboard boxes
- Mirrors, wrapped and packed in cardboard boxes
- Artwork and sculptures, wrapped and packed in cardboard boxes
- Glass or marble items, boxed in cardboard (items up to 4 feet)
- Hanging clothes, in wardrobe boxes
The everyday things as well
Our specialists are trained to pack the rest of your home quickly, efficiently and safely, and that saves you a lot of time and frustration. We can take care of all of it:
- Dishes, pots and pans, wrapped and packed in cardboard boxes
- Books, shoes and toys, packed in cardboard boxes
- Fragile items and documents
Packing for storage or for a long trip
If your things are going into storage, we double wrap them for the longer stay, add special protection so they stay in great condition for as long as they are stored, and shrink wrap them to keep dust off. We pack to suit the distance too. For a long distance move we pack extra-safe and shrink wrap everything so all items are well protected.
Unpacking and short notice
We can unpack for you at your new home, so you can start settling in. If you are short on time, our last-minute packing service is there for when you need to move in a New York minute. Tell us on the phone how much is already boxed.
Why leave the hard items to us
TVs, lamps, mirrors, glass and marble items and hanging clothes are the things people most often get wrong when they pack alone, because each one needs its own box or bag. Our crews have the specialized materials on the truck and the procedure for each item, and these items are included in the standard moving package rather than billed as extras.
What you can do to help
- Set aside what should not be packed by anyone else: medications, jewelry, passports, and important papers
- Tell us which items are fragile, valuable or hard to replace
- Decide beforehand whether you want everything packed, or only the hard rooms such as the kitchen
