Do professional packers provide the boxes and moving supplies?
Yes — most NYC packing crews arrive with everything they need: heavy-duty moving boxes in multiple sizes, wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes, dish-pack kits for kitchenware, custom crating for framed artwork, and all the tape, paper, and bubble wrap to fill them. This is a major advantage over DIY packing, where you would otherwise spend hours tracking down free boxes from liquor stores or paying retail at a UPS store.
Does professional packing affect my moving insurance?
It can make a significant difference. Many NYC moving companies will only offer full-value protection (also called full replacement valuation) on items that were packed by professionals — not items the owner packed themselves. If you pack your own boxes and something breaks, the mover may only cover the minimum released-value liability (60 cents per pound). If the packing pros handle it, the full-value coverage typically applies. Always confirm this with your mover before packing day.
What is bed bug prep packing?
Bed bug prep packing is a specialized service common in NYC where packers seal your belongings in ways that prevent bed bugs from traveling to your next apartment. This usually involves encasing mattresses and upholstered furniture in certified bed-bug-proof covers, sealing all clothing and linens in airtight bags, and inspecting items before boxing. If your current building has HPD pest violations, requesting this add-on is strongly recommended — it typically adds $150–$300 to a standard packing job but can save you thousands in extermination costs at your new place.
