Packing Services Tailored to Your Moving Needs
United offers flexible packing services to fit your budget, timeline and preferences. Your move coordinator will help you choose the best option to add to your full-service move with us.
Full Packing
Our team handles your packing from start to finish within a day*. Every item in your home is packed with the right materials, labeled clearly and secured for transport. * Packing time varies based on how many rooms you need packed, the number of fragile or high-value items and whether custom crating is required.
Partial Packing
Choose which items or rooms you’d like us to handle, while you take care of the rest. It’s a flexible option that blends convenience with control.
DIY Packing
Prefer to pack yourself? After you finish packing, we wrap your furniture, then load and unload your belongings as part of your full-service moving package.
Custom Crating
Protect your most valuable or fragile belongings — such as antiques, fine art and heirlooms — with custom-built crates.
Unpacking Services That Help You Settle in Faster
Skip the stress of scattered boxes. Our unpacking services get you out of “moving mode” and into living comfortably, faster.
Organized Unpacking
We carefully unpack the items we packed for you, placing them in your new home so you can focus on settling in.
Debris Removal
If you don’t unpack everything right away, we’ll return within 30 days after delivery to pick up empty cartons and packing materials.
