PACKERS AND MOVERS BOSTON

Professional Packing Services in Boston

Packing is where most moves go wrong — not because people don’t try, but because Boston homes aren’t built for easy logistics. Tight staircases, narrow hallways, walk-ups, and strict building move windows can turn “just pack it up” into a rushed, messy day. Poseidon Moving provides professional Boston packers and movers services for both local moves and long distance relocations, keeping the process controlled, organized, and protective of what matters.

Whether you’re moving locally within Greater Boston or relocating out of state, we tailor the packing plan around your home, your schedule, and your building’s rules. From triple-decker walk-ups to condo elevators and Boston’s busiest moving windows, our crews bring the structure and experience to keep your move on track.

PACKING OPTIONS

Choose How Much We Handle

You decide the scope — we scale the crew and materials to match. Every option includes professional-grade supplies, room-by-room labeling, and staging for efficient loading.

Full-Home Packing

We pack every room, every item. You don’t touch a box.

Partial Packing

You pack what you can, we handle the rest — kitchens, fragile items, closets.

Fragile-Only Packing

Dishes, glassware, electronics, and artwork — the items that need trained hands.

Custom Crating

For oversized, irregularly shaped, or high-value pieces that need built-to-fit protection.

Unpacking & Setup

We unpack at your new home, place items where you want them, and remove all materials.

Supplies Delivered

Boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper delivered to your door before move day.

Room-by-Room Labeling

Every box marked by room and contents for efficient loading and unpacking at destination.

Long-Distance Packing

Reinforced wrapping, double-walled boxes, and extra cushioning for items traveling interstate.

WHAT WE PACK

Every Item Wrapped, Cushioned, and Positioned to Protect

Our packing services use heavy-duty boxes, acid-free packing paper, bubble wrap, dish dividers, wardrobe boxes, and custom crating — not grocery store boxes and newspaper. Every item is wrapped individually, cushioned, and positioned inside the box to prevent shifting during transit.

Combined with furniture disassembly on move day, our packing process is designed with loading in mind — staging boxes by weight and room so the crew can load efficiently, especially in buildings with tight access or strict time windows. The same team that packs your home is the same team that loads and transports it — they know exactly where everything is and how it was prepared.

BEFORE PACKERS ARRIVE

How to Prep Your Home for Packing Day

✓

Declutter Before We Arrive — Not During

Go room by room and separate anything you’re not taking. Donate, sell, or dispose of items before packing day. The less we pack, the lower the cost and the faster the job goes. This is especially important in smaller Boston apartments where staging space is limited.

✓

Set Aside Personal Items You’ll Keep With You

Medications, important documents, jewelry, chargers, a change of clothes, and anything you’ll need before the truck arrives at your new address should stay with you. Pack these in a separate bag the night before.

✓

Flag High-Value or Unusually Fragile Items in Advance

If you have antiques, original artwork, signed memorabilia, or anything that requires special handling, mention it during your estimate — not on packing day. This gives us time to bring the right materials and allocate the right crew member.

✓

Clear Hallways, Doorways, and Stairwell Access

Packers need room to work and move boxes to staging areas. Clear entry paths, remove door mats, and if you’re in a walk-up, make sure the stairwell is free of shoes, strollers, or anything that slows movement between floors.

✓

Empty Dresser Drawers and Cabinets You Want Packed

If you’ve chosen partial packing, know which cabinets and drawers you want us to handle versus what you’ve already packed yourself. A clear boundary between “yours” and “ours” prevents confusion and double-handling.

✓

Confirm Building Access, Elevator Reservations, and Timing

If your building has move-day rules, elevator time slots, or requires a Certificate of Insurance, confirm these before packing day — not the morning of. The packing crew and moving crew often arrive on the same day, and building delays affect both. If dates don’t align, we also offer short-term storage to bridge the gap.

WHY POSEIDON PACKERS

Why Boston Residents Choose Our Packing Crew

✓

Same Crew Packs and Moves

The team that wraps your dishes and boxes your closets is the same team that loads the truck and delivers to your new address. No handoff between crews means nothing gets lost in translation and every item is handled with continuity from start to finish.

✓

Flat-Rate & Hourly Packing Quotes

Packing services are available at an hourly rate or as a flat-rate add-on to your moving estimate. We offer both partial and full packing options to fit your needs.

✓

Trained on Protection, Not Just Speed

Our packers are trained in-house on item-specific wrapping techniques. Every plate gets individual wrapping. Every glass gets cushioned at the base and rim. Every framed piece gets corner protection. Speed matters, but not at the expense of your belongings.

✓

Fully Licensed and Insured

Your belongings are covered from the moment we start packing through final delivery. Poseidon Moving holds USDOT credentials, full liability and cargo insurance, and is registered with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities.

PRICING

What Packing Services Typically Cost in Boston

Packing is quoted as an add-on to your moving estimate. The cost depends on home size, the number of rooms being packed, and whether you need full or partial service. Fragile-only packing and custom crating are quoted separately based on the specific items involved. Commercial packing for office relocations is scoped individually.

Get an exact number using our online quote tool, or call (617) 470-9950 and we’ll walk through what’s included at your price point. If you prefer to pack yourself, we deliver supplies — boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and paper — directly to your door through our packing materials store.

BOX TYPE	DIMENSIONS	BEST FOR
Small	16″ x 12″ x 12″	Books, tools, canned goods
Medium	18″ x 16″ x 18″	Kitchenware, toys, electronics

QUESTIONS

Packing Questions Answered

Yes. Partial packing is one of our most common requests. You handle the rooms or items you're comfortable with, and our crew takes care of the rest — typically kitchens, closets, and fragile items. Just let us know during the estimate which areas you want us to cover so we can plan crew size and materials accordingly.

For smaller homes and apartments, packing and moving often happen the same day. For larger homes or full-service packing jobs, we typically pack one day and move the next. Your coordinator will recommend the best approach based on the size of your home, the packing scope, and your building's scheduling requirements.

No. Our crew arrives with all necessary materials — boxes in every size, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, dish dividers, and wardrobe boxes. If you prefer to self-pack some items, we can deliver supplies to your home ahead of time through our packing materials store. Any specialty materials like custom crates are built on-site the day of the pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

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.

Are there items you can't move?

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.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

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.

How much will my move cost?

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.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

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.
