Packing Services In Dallas

Dallas packing labor is billed at the same rates as a standard move: $199 per hour Tuesday and Wednesday, $209 Monday and Thursday, $229 Friday through Sunday. Materials are a separate line item, billed after the job based on what was actually used - small boxes $2.22, dish packs $6.15, wardrobe boxes $12.30. No upfront materials estimate, no flat supply fee. What drives the total is home size, the number of rooms being packed, and how much fragile or specialty inventory needs careful handling.

The crew arrives stocked with supplies and handles the full scope of wrapping, boxing, and securing - including fragile and high-value items like china, glassware, mirrors, and delicate décor.

Certain categories are non-negotiable exclusions: cash, jewelry, firearms, ammunition, hazardous chemicals, and open bottles of alcohol. These go with you, not on the truck. Dresser drawers and filing cabinets must be cleared out before the crew begins work.

For TVs: dismounted and properly boxed before the crew arrives. If the right box isn't available, blanket and shrink wrap is an option, but you'll sign a waiver. Electronics and appliances are the customer's responsibility on both ends - the crew does not handle disconnection or reconnection at any point.

Packers arrive the day before your scheduled move. If unpacking is part of your booking, that crew comes the day after. The three-day structure exists for a reason: move day stays clean and efficient - no half-packed rooms while the truck is being loaded. DFW moves often involve longer drives between origin and destination within the metro, so keeping move day focused on transport makes a real operational difference. Fragile and specialty items also benefit from a crew that isn't racing the clock.

Yes - packing crews are trained for this work specifically, not cross-trained from general moving labor. The job starts with a digital Inspection and Item Release walkthrough on iPad: the Crew Leader photographs pre-existing conditions and logs any special-handling arrangements, like a TV being wrapped rather than boxed, before a single item is packed. That timestamped record is the reference point if any question comes up later. High-value or irreplaceable items should be flagged at booking so the crew comes prepared with the right materials on hand.

Yes - someone 18 or older needs to be on-site from the crew's arrival to sign-out. You don't need to supervise every box, but you do need to be present and available throughout. The Crew Leader - in a Red 3 Men Movers shirt - opens with a walkthrough to align on priorities and note any rooms or items to handle differently. Helpers wear Navy Blue, so the team structure is clear from the start. All movers are background-checked, and you can review crew bios, ratings, and reviews before confirming your booking.

Partial packing is a popular choice in Dallas, particularly for larger homes where customers want crew time focused on the kitchen, fragile rooms, or specialty collections. Everything else gets handled by the customer. Your Move Expert walks through room count, item types, and any specialty pieces during the booking call - that conversation determines the materials on the truck and the time estimate for the job. You're billed for actual hours and actual supplies used, not a package estimate.

Standard cancellations are $0, as long as you cancel before the crew is dispatched. The $25 collected upfront is a portion of your $99 Travel Fee, applied to your final bill, and fully refundable with at least 24 hours notice before dispatch. Once the crew is en route, the Travel Fee applies as a No-Show charge. Same-day packing bookings are non-refundable from the time of booking. In Dallas, packing slots tied to specific move dates move fast - if a reschedule is needed, reach out to your Move Expert as early as possible to keep your options open.
