“A full-service packing service is one where professional movers pack every item in your home using their own materials. Many also unpack at your new home for an added fee. It's the most convenient option but also the most expensive.”
“Professional packers cost about $25 - $100 per packer per hour. Packing a 3-bedroom home usually runs $600 - $2,500 in labor. Crating, specialty materials, and unpacking cost extra.”
“To choose a reliable packing service, confirm the mover offers the packing level you need and get quotes from at least three companies. Check the mover's USDOT number with the FMCSA and read reviews that mention packing quality. Use our moving cost calculator to see if quotes are fair.”
