About packing help in St. Louis

Older St. Louis homes tend to hold a lot of stuff: basements, attics and built-in cabinets fill up over the years. Packing help sends an hourly crew to box it up before the truck day, so loading starts with everything ready to go.

Packing is booked as its own hourly service, usually a day or two before the move. Materials are handled differently by each company — some bring boxes and paper and bill for them, others pack the supplies you have already bought. Confirm which before the crew arrives.

Packing in stages

If you have weeks before the move, some people book a crew for the hardest rooms first and pack the rest themselves. Smaller, focused bookings like that can still be useful as long as they meet the company’s minimum hours.

Start with the basement and the kitchen

Basements and kitchens usually take the longest to pack. Tools, holiday storage and canning jars downstairs, and dishes and glassware upstairs, all need careful wrapping and sturdy boxes.

Ask the company whether it brings boxes and packing paper or expects you to supply them. That varies by company.

Mark what stays and what goes

If you're leaving some things behind, sorting before the crew arrives keeps them from being packed by mistake and keeps the hours down.
