We charge a flat rate per box packed, with the correct type of box. For examples, A 4.5 cubic ft box is typically used for clothing and linens, which is cheaper than a dishpack box. A dishpack would be used to pack breakables and china. If you’re curious about the cost to have certain items packed just let your estimator know. We always bill based on the actual boxes packed, so if you get a quote for us to pack up your kitchen, but then decide to do it yourself, you will obviously not have to pay for that packing quote.
