SERVICES

Professional Crating & Shipping Services

Some items need more than bubble wrap and a moving blanket. Antiques, fine art, chandeliers, glass tabletops, marble surfaces, and oversized electronics are all vulnerable to damage during a move — even when handled with care. That’s where professional crating comes in.

Poseidon Moving builds custom wooden crates designed to fit your most fragile and valuable belongings exactly. Each crate is measured, constructed, and reinforced to absorb impact, prevent shifting, and keep delicate pieces safe from pickup to delivery.

Whether you’re relocating to a new home or shipping a single high-value piece, our crating services give you the protection that standard packing materials can’t. We handle residential and commercial crating for local, long distance, and cross country moves — with the same precision every time.

WHY CHOOSE US

Why Choose Our Professional Crating Services?

From a single antique mirror to an entire collection of fine art, our team builds custom crates that match the exact dimensions and fragility of each piece. Every crate is reinforced, padded internally, and built to handle the stress of transit — whether your move is nearby or to the other side of the country.

Included When You Need It
Standard furniture wrapping with heavy-duty moving pads is always part of our moving services. For items that need extra protection — like glass, marble, artwork, or electronics — we’ll recommend crating during your pre-move consultation and build it into your plan.

Standalone Crating & Shipping
You don’t have to be moving with us to use our crating service. We also offer standalone crating and shipping for individual items or small collections — perfect for estate sales, gallery shipments, online furniture purchases, and anyone who needs to send something fragile safely.

Residential & Commercial
Whether it’s a chandelier in a dining room or server equipment in an office, our team handles residential and commercial crating with the same attention to detail. We’ve crated everything from grand pianos to museum-quality sculptures.

Built to Protect in Transit
Every crate is constructed with quality lumber, internal bracing, foam lining, and cushioning to prevent movement during transport. We pair crating with our packing services so your entire shipment is protected end to end.

HOW IT WORKS

How Our Crating Process Works

Getting your fragile items properly crated is simple:

1.Assessment — Tell us what you need crated and share photos or product links if you have them. We’ll evaluate the size, weight, and fragility of each item to determine the best approach.
2.Custom Build — Our team constructs each crate on-site or in our workshop, using precise measurements and reinforced materials tailored to your items.
3.Packing & Loading — Items are carefully wrapped, padded, and placed into their crates. Each crate is sealed, labeled, and positioned securely for transport.
4.Delivery & Unpacking — At your destination, we uncrate each item, inspect it with you, and remove all crating materials so you’re left with just your belongings in place.

QUESTIONS

Crating & Shipping Questions Answered

Items that are especially fragile, irregularly shaped, or high in value benefit most from custom crating. This includes fine art, glass tabletops, marble surfaces, chandeliers, antiques, sculptures, and large electronics like flat-screen TVs. If an item can't be safely protected with standard wrapping and padding alone, a custom-built crate is the way to go. During your consultation, we'll let you know exactly which items we recommend crating.
Standard furniture wrapping with heavy-duty moving pads is included in every move at no extra charge. Custom crating is an additional service quoted based on the number of items, their size, and the materials required. We provide transparent pricing upfront so there are no surprises on moving day.
Yes. We offer standalone crating and shipping for individual items or small collections. Whether you've purchased a fragile piece online, need to ship artwork to a gallery, or are sending an heirloom to a family member, we can build a custom crate and arrange safe transport — no full move required.

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

  • Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
  • Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
  • Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
  • Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

  • Mounted TVs
  • Artwork and mirrors
  • Shelving
  • Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

  • Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
  • Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

  • Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
  • Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
  • Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
