Partial packing is billed hourly under ICC guidelines. Your written estimate covers only the items you want us to handle — labor time and materials for those specific boxes. No hidden fees, no pressure to upgrade.
For partial packing, we recommend booking 1–3 weeks ahead. Since we handle fewer items, we often have more flexible availability. Last-minute requests for fragile-only packing are welcome when crews are available.
Yes. We supply premium boxes, wraps, and labels only for the items we pack. Materials are billed at actual cost with no markup. If you pack other boxes yourself, you're welcome to use your own supplies or purchase ours separately.
