Full Packing Service
The packing stage is where most moves come undone, and for plenty of Chicago families it’s also the chore that gets shoved to the final day. Our answer is to hand it to our own crew, who work the house room by room so nothing lands at the new place in pieces. The boxes, the wrapping paper, the tape, and the dish barrels all show up with us; each carton carries a room label to make the unload quicker; and the cost of packing settles into your written move quote ahead of the day.
Every Room, Start to Finish
From the kitchen and china to the books and records to the linens and closets, everything goes into boxes, the basement and attic that everyone dreads very much included. Pull that off in an Avondale three-flat and you’re carrying cartons back down the rear staircase; do it in a Beverly greystone and you’re contending with the built-ins and the tight landings. Our crew empties the place, wraps it correctly, and loads the truck so the contents stay put on the road.
What Full Pack Covers
- Cartons, wrapping paper, tape, and the specialty boxes built for dishes, glass, and wardrobes
- Double-walled boxes and dish barrels for the kitchen, the stemware, and the china hutch
- Their own protective crates for the mirrors, the artwork, the lamps, and the televisions
- A room label riding every carton so it lands exactly where it should at the new place
- The basement, attic, garage, and closets boxed up rather than dumped on you at the last minute
- The option of a partial pack when it’s only the kitchen and the breakables you want covered
The Day Before or That Morning
For a full house, the pack-out usually happens the day before, paring move day down to loading and driving alone. With smaller places, we’ll handle the pack and the move inside one morning. Whichever it is, both halves belong to a single Mr Nelson Movers crew, so a missing box can’t spiral into finger-pointing; we packed it and we carried it, plain and simple.
The Reason It Earns Its Keep
A carton put together by a professional rides far steadier than one thrown together at 1 a.m., and it shows up intact. More than a few self-packed kitchens have landed on me as a bag of fragments because nobody bothered to wrap the glasses. Hand it to the crew to do properly, knowing the federal coverage sits behind it: $0.60 per pound on released value, with full-value protection available near one to three percent of the declared value.
