Packing & Unpacking Services Queens NY

PACKED BY PROS.
PROTECTED IN TRANSIT.

Packing is consistently the most underestimated part of any move. What feels like a manageable task at the start becomes an overwhelming, exhausting marathon when boxes multiply and moving day approaches. The Moving Genie exists specifically to take that burden off you.

Our professional packing crew is trained in the same techniques used by high-end moving operations — not generic box-stuffing, but methodical, material-matched packing that ensures every item is protected for the specific type of move it's making. Delicate items are wrapped differently than heavy items. Long-distance packing is done differently than a local move.

The materials matter enormously. We use double-walled boxes, dish packs, foam padding, custom bubble wrap, packing paper, furniture blankets, and shrink wrap — the professional-grade supplies that actually protect your belongings, not the basic supplies from a hardware store.

Whether you want us to pack your entire home or just the fragile items while you handle the rest, we customize the service to what you need. Every option is available: full pack, partial pack, kitchen-only, fragile-only, or unpack-only.

What We Handle

OUR PACKING SERVICES

Full Packing Service

We pack every room — kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, living areas — using the right materials for every item type. You don't touch a single box.

Partial Packing

Already packed most things yourself? We handle the remaining items, fragile pieces, and large furniture — filling in wherever you need professional help.

Fragile Item Specialists

China, glassware, artwork, mirrors, electronics — wrapped and boxed using dish packs, custom cushioning, and double protection for the items that can't afford to be damaged.

Wardrobe Boxes

Your hanging clothes stay hanging throughout the entire move. We provide wardrobe boxes so your wardrobe arrives wrinkle-free and ready to hang immediately.

Professional Labeling

Every box labeled on top and two sides with room, contents, and handling notes. No mystery boxes at your new home — unpacking is organized from the start.

Unpacking Service

We unpack every box, place items where you want them, and remove all packing materials. Move into a set-up home, not a sea of cardboard.

What We Take

ITEMS WE HANDLE

Here is a breakdown of what our team is equipped and trained to manage:

  • Kitchen — dishes packed vertically in dish packs with paper between each, glasses wrapped and upright, small appliances in original boxes or custom-wrapped
  • Bedrooms — wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, dresser contents in drawers or boxes, bedding in large boxes or vacuum bags
  • Living room — TVs and electronics in original boxes or custom-crated, artwork and mirrors in mirror boxes with corner protection, lamps disassembled and shaded separately
  • Bathrooms — toiletries in sealed bags, medicine packed in labeled boxes, towels and linens used as additional padding for fragile items
  • Home office — computers and monitors in anti-static padding, files organized and labeled by cabinet, peripherals and cables labeled and grouped by device
  • Garage and storage — tools wrapped to prevent damage to other items, liquids secured upright, seasonal items clearly labeled
  • Specialty items — pianos, safes, artwork, antiques assessed separately and packed using specialized techniques and materials
How It Works

PACKING IN
FOUR STEPS

1

Add Packing to Your Move (or Book Standalone)

When you request your moving quote, let us know you want packing included. We'll add it to your estimate with all materials included. Packing can also be booked as a standalone service — no move required.

2

We Arrive With Everything

Our crew shows up with boxes in multiple sizes, packing tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, and padding. You don't need to source a single supply.

3

Room-by-Room Professional Packing

We work room by room — wrapping each item individually, packing boxes correctly by weight, and labeling everything clearly (room name + contents). Fragile items get extra protection. Nothing gets tossed in a box.

4

Unpacking at the Destination (Optional)

If you want us to unpack as well, we'll unbox at your new place, place items in the rooms they belong, and break down all the cardboard for disposal. You walk in and start living.

Frequently Asked Questions

PACKING FAQ

  • A studio apartment takes approximately 3–5 hours to fully pack. A 1-bedroom takes 4–6 hours. A 2-bedroom home runs 6–9 hours. A 3-bedroom or larger may require a full day or two-day packing schedule. We provide a specific time estimate based on your home size and inventory.
  • Yes — many clients prefer a two-day approach. Day one is dedicated entirely to packing with no time pressure. Day two is moving day. This is often faster and less stressful than trying to do both in one day.
  • We supply all packing materials — boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, and furniture blankets. Materials used are included in your packing quote. If you want to supply your own boxes, let us know and we'll adjust the quote accordingly.
  • In almost every case, yes. Professionally packed items are dramatically less likely to be damaged in transit. It also eliminates one of the most stressful and time-consuming parts of any move — many clients say it's the single best decision they made about their move.
  • Absolutely. Fragile-only packing is one of our most popular options. You pack the non-fragile items yourself, and we handle the kitchen, glassware, artwork, mirrors, and electronics that require professional technique and materials.
  • For local moves, we often leave lighter dresser drawers filled and wrap the dresser securely. For long-distance moves, we recommend emptying all drawers to prevent damage during transit. We'll advise based on your specific move type.
  • We use double-walled boxes in standard and specialty sizes, dish packs for fragile kitchen items, wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, bubble wrap, packing paper, foam padding, furniture blankets, shrink wrap for upholstered furniture, and mirror/picture boxes for artwork.
  • Yes. Our unpacking service is available regardless of who did the original packing. We'll unbox items, place them where you direct, and remove all cardboard, paper, and packing materials from your new home.
  • Yes. We collect and reuse furniture blankets on every move. Cardboard boxes in good condition are reused or recycled. We remove all packing materials from your new home and handle responsible disposal.
  • Yes. Computer equipment, monitors, servers, and other electronics are packed using anti-static materials, original packaging when available, and custom crating when needed. We coordinate with your IT requirements to ensure electronics are protected.
  • That's our partial packing service — one of our most flexible options. You decide which rooms or item types you want us to handle. Kitchen and fragile items are the most common choices for partial service.
  • For urgent situations, we can arrange evening packing with a next-morning move. Availability depends on crew scheduling. Call (212) 484-1095 and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.
