Professional Packing and Unpacking Services in Los Angeles

Full-Service Packing and Unpacking in Los Angeles — Done Properly
Packing and Unpacking, Done Right — As Part of Your Move
Packing sounds simple until you're standing in the middle of it, staring at a stack of flattened boxes and a roll of tape. Done poorly, it costs you time and money on moving day: broken glass, items that shift in transit, hours spent taping and labeling when you could be handling everything else on your list.
Best California Movers' packing and unpacking service is built into your move — our crew packs your boxes before loading and unpacks them at your new home, so you're not living out of cardboard for weeks after moving day. This service is about boxes: getting everything into them properly and getting everything back out, labeled, organized, and gone from your floor when we leave.
In Los Angeles, packing takes real time — and with people juggling demanding jobs and long commutes, that's time better spent on something else. Handing packing off to a crew that knows how to do it right means one less thing eating into your week.
What's included:
- Room-by-room box packing, labeled by contents and/or destination room
- Boxes and packing materials available as part of your move (see pricing below)
- Partial packing — pack what you want, we handle the rest
- Complete unpacking at your new home, with all boxes and packing materials hauled away

Our Los Angeles Packing and Unpacking Services
Whether you need everything handled or just the pieces you'd rather leave to professionals, we build the service around what you actually need.
-
Full Packing Service
Our crew packs every room, box by box, labeling each one by contents and destination room so nothing gets lost in the shuffle. You don't spend your week wrapping glasses in newspaper or hunting down enough boxes — we bring what your home needs and pack it systematically, working from a plan we confirm with you in advance.
Full packing is typically scheduled as part of your moving day, though for larger homes we can schedule it the day before with a smaller crew — timing and crew size are confirmed during your estimate.
Full packing is especially useful for clients with demanding schedules, families with children or pets, and anyone relocating on a tight timeline. -
Partial Packing — Pack What You Want; We Handle the Rest
Not every room needs a professional touch. Many clients pack their own books, linens, and everyday items while leaving the kitchen, breakables, and anything else they'd rather not deal with to us. Tell us what you'd like handled when you request your estimate, and we'll scope the packing crew and materials around it.
-
Complete Unpacking Service
Most moving companies drop your boxes and leave. We don't.
Once your belongings arrive, our crew unpacks every box, places your items in the rooms you specify, and removes all the boxes and packing materials before we go. Nothing sits in your living room for weeks waiting to be broken down.
For older adults, families with young kids, and anyone with a demanding schedule, this is often the part of the move that matters most — you move in once, and you're done. -
Packing Materials — What's Included, What's Billed
Included with your move: wardrobe boxes (for the duration of your move) and tape.
Billed by size and type, starting at $5 each: standard moving boxes and specialty boxes like TV boxes and wine boxes.
Standard packing materials — paper and wrap — are used to protect fragile items like china and vases.
Prefer to supply your own boxes or materials? That works too — just let us know when you book.
Everything is itemized and confirmed with you before packing begins, so nothing shows up on your invoice unexplained.
Realistic Quotes. No Moving Day Surprises.
We don't lowball estimated hours to win the job, and we don't send fewer trucks or crew than your move actually needs just to make the rate look lower — a 15-hour moving day is nobody's idea of a good experience. We give you a realistic estimate that fits your move.
Packing and Unpacking Pricing in Los Angeles
Packing and unpacking are billed at your move's hourly rate. If packing is scheduled the day before your move, it may run with a smaller crew than moving day itself, which can change the rate slightly — this is confirmed during your estimate (packing materials not included).
| Home Size | Typical Packing Crew | Estimated Packing Time | Typical Add-On Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom | 2 crew members | 3–4 hours | $320–$650 |
| 2-bedroom | 3 crew members | 4–6 hours | $480–$1,300 |
| 3-bedroom | 4–6 crew members | 6–8 hours | $1,260–$2,950+ |
| 3-bedroom+ | 4–6 crew members | 6–8 hours | $1,260–$2,950+ |
| Unpacking service | Varies by scope | Varies by scope | Varies by scope |
| Partial packing (selected rooms) | Varies by scope | Varies by scope | Varies by scope |
You'll get a realistic and transparent estimate before packing day, so you know your expected costs before the first box is packed.
What affects your total:
- Number of rooms and volume of items to pack
- Whether packing happens the day before or on moving day
- Unpacking scope at your new address
- Box and material types needed

01 Do I have to pack everything, or can I pack some items myself?
You can do either. Partial packing is one of our most common setups — many clients pack their own books, linens, and personal items while leaving the rest to us. Just let us know your preference when you request your estimate.
02 What packing materials do you use?
Wardrobe boxes and tape are included with your move. Standard boxes, TV boxes, and wine boxes are billed by size and type, starting at $5 each. Standard paper and wrap are used to protect fragile items like china and vases — we don’t use specialty containers beyond what’s listed here. You’re also welcome to supply your own materials.
03 Does unpacking include placing my furniture and removing the boxes?
Unpacking covers your boxes: unloading them, placing your belongings in the rooms you specify, and hauling away all boxes and packing materials before we leave. Furniture handling — disassembly, reassembly, and placement — is part of your standard moving service.
04 Can I add packing services after I've already booked my move?
Yes. Contact us, and we’ll update your booking. We recommend confirming any changes a few days before your move date so we can adjust crew size and materials.
05 How far in advance should I book a move that includes packing?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead, especially between May and September, which is peak moving season in California. If your timeline is shorter, contact us — we can often accommodate shorter-notice bookings depending on availability.
06 Do you offer financing for moves that include packing and unpacking?
Yes. We offer financing options that let you spread the cost of your move — including packing and unpacking — over time. Ask about available plans when you request your estimate.
07 What if something is damaged while it's being packed?
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Basic valuation protection is included on every job at no added cost. For higher-value or particularly fragile items, we offer full replacement value coverage — we’ll walk you through your options before packing day starts.
