Full-Service Packing

Our crew boxes the whole house — or just the rooms you dread — with materials and labor in one written price.

Packing is the part of a move people put off until the night before. Bull City Movers takes it off your plate: our crew brings the boxes, paper, tape, and dish packs, then wraps and labels everything room by room. You can hand us the whole house or just the kitchen and the china cabinet.

It is the same Durham crew that packs and then moves you, so nothing gets lost in a hand-off between two different teams.

Good packing is what keeps glasses and picture frames in one piece on a bumpy ride down I-40. We pad fragiles in real dish packs and mirror cartons, label every box by room, and keep an inventory so the unload goes fast. If you only want help with the breakable rooms, partial-pack covers exactly that and nothing more.

One Durham-specific note: our summers are hot and humid, and red-clay dust and moisture are hard on cardboard left sitting in a garage for weeks. We pack close to move day and use sturdy, dry boxes so a damp Piedmont July does not turn the bottom of a carton soft.

What packing costs

Packing is quoted on materials plus labor and written into your move price, so you see the full number before anyone tapes a box shut.

Service Starting price
Full-pack (materials + labor) From $360
Partial-pack (kitchen / fragiles) Quoted by room
Dish packs & mirror cartons Included in the pack quote
Unpack at destination Available on request

Full-pack starts at $360 for materials and labor. A $99 deposit holds your packing and move dates and applies to the total. Your boxed items carry the same up-to-$1,000,000 cargo coverage as the rest of your shipment.

What is not included

A few things sit outside the standard pack so the quote stays clear.

  • The transport itself — packing is an add-on to your local or long-distance move, priced alongside it.
  • Hazardous items we cannot legally load: propane, fuel, paint, ammunition, and the like.
  • High-value art or antiques needing custom crating, which we quote separately.
  • Hauling away the empty boxes after you unpack, unless you ask us to schedule a return pickup.

Tell our estimator how much you want to do yourself, and we scale the pack and the price to match.

What’s included

Everything our crew brings on move day — no add-ons, no surprises.

  • All packing materials — boxes, paper, tape, dish packs, mirror cartons
  • Room-by-room packing with labels and an inventory list
  • Extra padding for dishes, glassware, mirrors, and framed art
  • Partial-pack option for just the kitchen or the fragile rooms
  • Same Durham crew packs and moves — no hand-off between teams
  • Boxed goods covered up to $1,000,000 per shipment

Common questions

Can I pack some rooms myself and have you do the rest?
Yes — that is our partial-pack option. Plenty of Durham customers box their own clothes and books, then have us handle the kitchen, china, and anything fragile. We quote partial-pack by room so you only pay for the help you actually want.
How much does full packing cost?
Full-pack starts at $360 for materials and labor and is quoted alongside your move so you see one combined written price. The exact figure depends on home size and how many fragile items you have. A $99 deposit holds the date and comes off the total.
Do you supply the boxes and tape, or do I buy them?
We bring everything — boxes, packing paper, tape, dish packs, and mirror cartons are part of the pack quote. You do not need to make a hardware-store run. We pack close to move day so the cartons stay sturdy through a humid Durham summer.
Will the same crew that packs also move me?
Yes. Our own crew packs your home and then loads and drives the truck, so nothing falls through the cracks between two teams. They labeled and inventoried the boxes, so they know exactly what goes where on the other end.
