Packing is the part of moving everyone dreads — and the part that decides whether things arrive safe. Harbor Moving LLC packs room by room with real materials and labeled boxes, then unpacks at your new home so you are not living out of boxes for a month.
Full home, a few fragile rooms, or just the kitchen — pick the level that fits.
We pack the whole home — every room, every shelf — the day before or the morning of your move, so moving day is just loading.
Dishes, glass, and china get individual wrapping and double-walled protection. Kitchens are where damage happens; this is the room worth handing to pros.
TVs, monitors, mirrors, and framed pieces are wrapped, padded, and boxed to travel upright and secure.
We open boxes, place items where they belong, and haul the packing material away — you start living, not unpacking.
Published rates — the same numbers on our pricing page. No surprises on moving day.
Move package with 2 movers and truck. A straightforward flat price for smaller homes and apartments.
Move package with 3 movers and truck. Our most common package for family apartments and homes.
Move package with 4+ movers and truck, sized for larger homes and fuller households.
$159/hr — 2 movers + truck
$199/hr — 3 movers + truck
$249/hr — 4 movers + truck
2-hour minimum. Often the better fit for short, same-town moves.
Stairs are $45 per flight. Packing is $45/hour per packer. Every quote includes our crew's travel from our Dorchester office to your job and back — no separate travel charge added later.
Simple, in order.
Add packing to any move, or book it on its own. Tell us the rooms and anything fragile — we bring the boxes, paper, wrap, and tape.
Room by room, box by box, labeled with contents and destination room. Fragile items are wrapped individually, never stacked loose.
Packed boxes load fast and ride safe. If we packed it, we stand behind how it travels.
At your new home we unpack, place, and remove the debris — beds and kitchen usable the first night.
Packing looks easy until a box of dishes lands wrong. Done right, it is the cheapest insurance on your whole move.
Clean boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and stretch film — furniture blanket-wrapped, glass wrapped piece by piece.
Every box is marked by room and contents, so unloading puts things where they belong instead of in a pile.
A home that takes a week of evenings to pack takes our crew hours. Your time is worth more than the $45/hr.
The same company packs, moves, and unpacks — nothing gets lost between three different vendors.

East Boston, Dorchester, South Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Quincy, and everywhere in Greater Boston — packing is available with any move, or as a stand-alone service.
Packing questions, answered straight.
$45 per hour per packer, plus materials if we supply boxes. Most kitchens take one packer about 2–3 hours; a full 2-bedroom home is typically a two-packer job for half a day.
No — we can bring everything: boxes, paper, tape, and wrap. Prefer to use your own? That works too; we will tell you what to have ready.
Yes — the kitchen only, fragile items only, or everything except the closets. Partial packing is one of our most-booked services.
Either. Larger homes are usually packed the day before so moving day stays fast; smaller homes can be packed the same morning.
Keep documents, jewelry, medications, and cash with you. We will flag anything we think should ride in your car instead of the truck.
Tell us your home size, your moving date, and which rooms you want packed. We'll estimate the packing time in writing — most people are surprised how fast it goes.
