Why Professional Packing Pays For Itself
Packing is more than just putting things in boxes. It is the foundation of a safe and cost-effective long-distance move. Here is how our service pays for itself.
volume optimization: lower shipping bills
Since long-distance move pricing is based on volume, "dead air" costs money. We eliminate wasted space inside boxes to reduce your total billable cubic footage. These shipping savings often completely cover the packing investment.
valid moving insurance & protection
Self-packing (known as PBO) often voids liability coverage for internal breakage. Our professional service ensures your Full Value Protection is valid, guaranteeing you qualify for claims if any loss or damage occurs during transit.
professional supplies & techniques
Replacing broken electronics or china costs more than hiring pros. We use industrial-grade supplies built to withstand the heavy vibration of long-distance transit, ensuring you avoid costly replacements at your new home.
