Loading, Unloading and In-house moves

Labor Only Jobs including Loading, Unloading and Inner Apartment Moving

Sometimes you don't need a truck, just some labor help.  If only we were operating in the 90's we could have givin' Rachel Chandler, and Ross a little help.

Loading Up a Customer provided Box truck-

There are many cases when we help our customers load up their box truck or pod for a long distance move.  There are a few things to keep in mind.  It is important to have proper blankets to protect larger furniture and larger fragile items.  We will not be able to sell you our blankets, so we recommend you rent some from your truck rental company  or purchase some "economy moving blankets" on amazon or ebay.  Another important item to have is ratchet straps.  Ratchet straps allow the moving team to tightly secure your furniture to inside the box which should prevent it from moving during transit.

We will do our best to pack your truck in an efficient safe manner, but we cannot be held responsible for any damages after we leave the load up job.

Unloading a box truck
We'd be happy to help you unload your box truck or pod.  Most of these jobs are fairly strait forward and do not require moving blankets and ratchet straps.  Some do require dollies.  If you think your job has a any long walks, let us know and we'll be sure to bring some dollies to speed up the unloading process.  Free unloading estimate click here to get an estimate.

Moving furniture within a house
If you you moving some items around or rearranging furniture, let us know if you could use our help.  If there are any tight stairways, unusually large items be sure to let us know on the moving estimate form.

Moving Furniture within an apartment building-
We have performed many successful inner apartment building moves.  We can move just the furniture or everything inside the apartment.  If you would like us to move everything, we still ask that you pack p as much as you can, so we can move you fast and safely.

Mic's Moving Packing Services

Mic's Moving packing and unpacking services

We understand that you've got plenty to worry about without adding the move itself to your list of concerns. That's why we take the extra step of offering Packing services.

Packing Materials- When you reserve our packing services, we will bring small, medium and large size boxes and packing paper (200 sheets of paper in each box).  It is hard for us to estimate exactly how many boxes you will need, so we normally ask for your best guess, here is a general estimate of how many boxes each  typical move takes...

Studio Move- 10 to 20 1 packing paper box
1 bedroom- 15 to 35 2 packing paper boxes
2 bedroom- 30 to 50 3 to 4 packing paper boxes
3 bedroom 40 to 80  4 packing paper boxes

There are times when the move requires more than the listed amount of boxes.  If you have a lot of books, fragile items, or your if your a cat person,  make sure you request a few more than the recommended amount.

Highly Valuable items- For every job we complete, we require the customer pack and move certain highly valuable items like phones, cash, jewelry, and other expensive small items.  This is to protect ourselves and the customers goods.

Hidden Cabinets and Drawers- When the packing crew is complete, we ask that you do a walk through of you apartment or house to check and see if we have missed any drawers or cabinets.  We do our best to check everywhere for items, but we sometime miss some hidden places.

Awkward Items-
We go by the simple rule of if it can fit in a box, pack it in a box.  There are some awkward items, in which case we will do our best to move it safely.  In some cases, it may help speed up the packing/moving process if we move the awkward fragile items in the customers car, to maximise the box trucks space and to reduce the risk of damage.

Packing Mirrors and Picture frames-
If it can fit in a box, we'll pack it in a box with adequate packing paper.  We can move larger pictures and art by blanketing them and stretch warping it using our stretch wrap.  We do ask that you talk to your crew leader/team and point out the larger items that are of high importance that you would like blanketed and wrapped.

Please note, there are times when we are busier than normal and therefor are unable to provide packing services.
