The Full-Service Packing Process Step-by-Step

So, you’re finally ditching your cramped apartment in North Park for a house in La Jolla with actual closet space. Congrats! But before you start daydreaming about sunset walks at Windansea, you have to face the beast: packing. You could spend weeks drowning in cardboard and bubble wrap, or you could call in the pros for a full-service move.

Going full-service means you hand over the keys to your chaos and get back a streamlined, stress-free experience. If you’re wondering what actually happens during the full-service packing process, here’s a step-by-step guide from Reliable Delivery.

Pre-Move Planning and Recon

Before a single box gets taped, the pros need a game plan. A full-service move starts with a detailed assessment of your stuff. The team looks at everything—furniture, fragile items, electronics, and beyond. They figure out exactly how many movers, trucks, and materials the job demands. This planning stage guarantees the crew shows up ready to work, not wondering how to fit a square peg in a round hole.

The Supply Drop

You won’t need to make five emergency trips to the hardware store for more tape. On moving day, your crew arrives with an arsenal of supplies. We’re talking sturdy boxes in every size, shrink wrap, furniture pads, and specialized protection for your floors and doors. They bring everything required to secure your belongings for the trek across San Diego.

Strategic Packing and Wrapping

This is where the real work happens. Your team systematically tackles room by room, wrapping delicate items in protective paper and securing furniture with heavy-duty pads. They don’t just throw things in boxes; they use professional techniques to maximize space and protection for your belongings. Whether it’s disassembling your bed frame or shrink-wrapping your dresser so the drawers don’t fly open on the I-5, they handle the logistics so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Loading, Transport, and Unloading

Once everything is packed tight, the heavy lifting begins. The crew loads the truck, balancing weight distribution to keep your items safe on the road. Next, they drive your belongings to the new pad, unload everything, and place furniture exactly where you want it.

Reassembly and Debris Removal

The job isn’t done until your bed is back together and the trash is gone. As the last step in the full-service packing process, the crew will reassemble the basic furniture they took apart and clear out the packing debris. You’re left with a home that’s ready for living, not a construction zone filled with empty boxes.
