Tell Simone your date and her crew has the kitchen boxed a day ahead of the truck showing up.
Marisol can often quote it from your description alone.
Boxes are rarely the part of a move people look forward to. Full-service packing hands that whole piece over to our crew — kitchen, closets, garage, the works — so moving day starts with a truck being loaded instead of a night spent taping boxes shut.
Our crew brings all materials — boxes in appropriate sizes, packing paper, bubble wrap for fragiles, wardrobe boxes for closets — and packs the entire household or just the rooms you choose. Dishware, artwork, electronics, and lamps each get handled with the right material rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Furniture disassembly ahead of loading is included when a piece needs it, and everything ties directly into the same crew that handles your local or long-distance move, so nothing gets handed off between separate teams.
This service fits busy households, long-distance movers who don’t want to repack twice, and anyone downsizing out of a place with decades of accumulated belongings — a common story in Main Line homes around Ardmore and Springfield where families have lived for years. It’s also popular with University City tenants moving on a tight turnaround between lease dates.
Cost scales with the number of rooms packed and the volume of fragile or specialty items — a kitchen with a full china cabinet takes longer than a bedroom with clothes and books. Partial packing, where you handle everyday items and we take the fragiles and the garage, is a common middle option that keeps cost down while still saving the worst of the work.
Simone Achebe has led labor-only crews and the full-pack side of the business for five years, and her crews are trained to pack a Philadelphia rowhouse kitchen — often smaller and more densely packed than suburban kitchens — as efficiently as a larger Main Line pantry. She also leads labor-only jobs for customers who’ve rented their own truck but want experienced hands for the loading and unloading.
Full-pack jobs are usually scheduled a day or two ahead of the move itself, so materials have time to be delivered and staged. Book both dates together when you request a quote — Marisol coordinates the packing crew and moving crew as one connected job rather than two separate bookings.
Boxes that our own crew packed get loaded faster, because the people carrying them onto the truck know what’s inside, how heavy it is, and which side is up — no guessing with a stranger’s box labeled in someone else’s handwriting. It keeps the whole job on schedule whether your move is a quick apartment turnover or a full residential relocation. See how packing customers describe the difference on our reviews page.
You won't see these listed as extras on the invoice — they're just part of how a Philadelphia job gets done.

Same Philadelphia crew handles all of these across Greater Philadelphia, not a separate subcontractor per service.
Marisol asks about stairs and street parking before she ever quotes a truck size — guessing costs you money on move day.
Same crew from the Frankford Avenue yard to your new front door — we don't stage your load through anyone else's warehouse.
A South Philly rowhouse and a Main Line colonial get the same careful crew, just different equipment.
We know which Center City buildings need a certificate of insurance and a loading-dock reservation.
Andre rigs uprights and grands differently — he'll ask which one before he ever quotes the job.
A safe bolted into a rowhouse basement gets pulled with real rigging, not just extra hands.
Two addresses is enough for our Philadelphia office to send back a written flat rate, usually the same business day.
