PACKING

Not only does using our packing services for moving your home or office save you time, but it ensures that your valuables are properly protected during transit. Our professional packers can assist you with everything from general packing services for your move to specialty assistance for precious valuables or unwieldy items.
Packing Services
We offer several different levels of packing services. We know that different customers have different packing needs, so carefully consider which level of service is right for your move.
Full Pack
Our full-pack service is the best option for customers who want to save time. Our team of packers will efficiently pack your entire home or business. Choosing this option removes one element of stress from moving, as our dependable packers and movers tackle the entire process. Please note that if you opt for the full-pack service, it’s helpful to set aside personal items you’ll need to access during the move or immediately upon arrival.
Partial Pack
The partial-pack service is a helpful option for those who would only like a portion of their home or business professionally packed. This option lets you designate areas that may be difficult for you to pack, like the storage shed or garage, while you focus on packing the rest of your home.
Fragile-Only Pack
Brandi Bradshaw packers are well-trained in packing fragile items. Our fragile-only packing service will give you peace of mind that your fragile items are properly packed for transit. Consider using this service if you have delicate items like antiques, valuable china, artwork, or other items that need to be handled with special care.
TRANSPORT HIGH-VALUE BELONGINGS SAFELY
Sometimes, you have high-value items that need to be transported. These items need to be handled with care; if they aren’t, then they could easily be damaged during transit. Make sure that your belongings are safe by getting custom crating services from a reliable company. Brandi Bradshaw has over 10 years of experience, and is dedicated to providing you with the assistance that you deserve.
Our Packing Tips
General Packing Tips
Even with the best moving and packing tips, it is hard to move from one home to another. Following these general guidelines will make your move easier when it comes time to pack:
- When using a professional moving company, it is best to start packing early. Boxes usually take around a half-hour to pack. A home can take between two and four days to pack, while an apartment can take about one day.
- Use all of your food so that you don’t have to move it. Anything that you plan to move must be unopened, especially liquids.
- Be sure to have a black marker and packing tape ready so that you can label and seal each box quickly. Always list the contents of the box, which room it will need to be put in, and if its contents are fragile or not.
- Start packing the areas of your home that you use the least. Pack your essentials last so that you will have what you need first in your car after you’ve arrived at your new home.
- Tape boxes on the top and on the bottom very well. If you are carrying heavy items, they should go on the bottom, and you will need to double-tape those boxes for your moving service.
Moving/Packing Tips for Household Goods
When packing common household items for a big move, follow these long distance moving tips to ensure the safety of your belongings:
- When packing common household items for a big move, follow these long distance moving tips to ensure the safety of your belongings:
- Softer items such as sweaters and stuffed toys can be packed in trash bags instead of boxes to save space.
- When packing breakable items, be sure not to put them in with other heavy items. One inch of crumpled-up paper between breakable items will keep them the safest; towels and other soft linens can provide good cushioning as well.
- When packing valuables, be sure to pack them together and either move them in your own vehicle or check them quickly upon arrival to make sure they made it safely to your destination.
- If possible, repack electronic devices in their original boxes. Take a picture of complex wiring with your mobile phone to remember how to re-connect at destination. Be sure that everything is unplugged before moving day. Everything not in the original box can be wrapped in padding by movers.
- Picture frames, mirrors, electronics, and lampshades can easily be damaged. Be sure to bubble-wrap as much as possible, or we can provide mirror cartons at affordable rates.
- When moving mattresses, they can be put on the moving truck after being wrapped in furniture pads, or special mattress boxes can be purchased if desired. Also, upholstered furniture can be shrink-wrapped by request.
- Any furniture containing pressed wood or particle board could easily be damaged in the move. These pieces should be removed beforehand in order to keep them from breaking.
