PACKING & UNPACKING · DAY BEFORE

Packing Services in Oakland, CA

Dish packs, wardrobe boxes, and paper by the bundle. A crew that packs a truck like tour gear packs a kitchen the same way.

Packing is half the move, and the half most people run out of time for. Our packing crew usually comes the day before your local move, works kitchen-first, and leaves you one functioning coffee station for the morning. Every carton is labeled by room and contents, so unpacking takes days, not months.

How the Packing Day Runs

  • Kitchen first, garage last, essentials box packed last and opened first.
  • Fragile pieces double-wrapped and marked top-load.
  • Unpacking puts items on counters and shelves, not just boxes in rooms.
  • All paper and wrap comes back on our truck when we’re done.

What We Won’t Pack, and Why

  • Paint, solvents, and propane: hazmat rules keep them off the truck.
  • Perishable food: it spoils in a warm box by noon.
  • Plants on long-distance runs: agriculture rules between states.
  • Documents, jewelry, and medications: those ride with you, always.

A two-bedroom pack usually takes a two-person crew 3–4 hours with materials included in the written quote. Send the room count through the quote form and the office prices it the same hour.

"This was my second time hiring the crew within a 3 year period. They have gotten pricier over time but still economical compared to the other outrageously priced companies. Sean and crew showed up promptly. My move took 7 hours and 2 trips instead of the anticipated one trip 4 hours. They completed the job without any complaints and a skip in their steps. However if you need to move regular furniture within the city they will do an amazing job. I highly recommend."

"Quick and easy to schedule. They were one of moving companies that don't have any weird hidden fees, very straight forward hourly fee that includes everything. I got a 2 man crew for a 1 bedroom move (and I have some heavy furniture). They came in the morning as scheduled and moved everything quickly by the afternoon. They fit my big flat screen TVs between furnitures and no issues. They also helped with putting my mattress back together! Everything went smoothly and I am recommending them to all my friends!"

"These guys were great and super friendly. First time we hire them and will call them for the next move. They moved us in/out quicker than I thought! (House to small 1 bedroom apartment with heavy furniture... including a huge Ikea wardrobe that wasn't made to be moved around). Everything arrived in the same condition (even this really old cabinet that I didn't think was going to make it but is now in the perfect spot). Scheduling was also very easy and Sean answered every call and question. Excited to go to their concerts once the pandemic ends....always happy to support musicians. thanks Sam, Nate & Sean !!"
