Packing
Get Ahead of the Pack
When it comes to moving, packing is usually the most time-consuming. If you find yourself distressed about your packing project, then let us pack for you. Our full and partial packing services offer you flexibility in how much you would like to handle, and how much you would rather not worry about. We train our employees to be diligent packers so you can trust your belongings are safe in transit and delivery.
After the move, you are left with a legion of boxes that need unpacking. Although the inclination may be to unpack everything as quickly as possible, you will need to take it one room at a time, and one day at a time. However, if the time or patience for this does not exist, then we are happy to assist with the unpacking as well. We can do as much or as little as you wish, whether it is the entire home or certain rooms, such as the kitchen or bedroom. The final result gets you back into a normal routine.

8 Critical Things You Need To Prepare For Movers
Getting ready to move? Here’s 8 tips on moving effectively while using a moving company like us.
Be Thorough
- When hiring a mover, make sure you and the company are fully aware of all property to be moved
- Often, a mover can do an in-home or video tour
- Don’t always choose the lowest price, that doesn’t mean the best
Review Their Estimate
- Even if you feel you talked about everything, review the estimate
- Walk through your house and property to check off any line items
- Make note of additional concerns and contact the mover
If Possible, Make an Inventory
- The average American home has a lot of individual items
- Inventory as much as possible, emphasizing your expensive items
- This allows you to check your moved property at your new location to make sure everything made it
If You are Packing, Pack Smart
- Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box
- Give plenty of time for your kitchen
- Pack important and sentimental in specially marked boxes for easy access
- Make sure the movers leave boxes you need quickly closest to the door.
Establish a Set Moving Date as Soon as Possible.
- You don’t want the date to be a guess.
- You need to be mentally prepared for the move.
- Make time to prepare your home and pack certain special, fragile objects. This is never good to do in a rush.
Know What Cannot Be Transported
- Ask your mover for a list of things they won’t move
- It’s usually chemicals or money and varies with each mover
- Contact us to talk about items you might have concerns with
Create a Packing Plan
- While the mover may do most of the packing, have a plan
- We have done a lot of moves but we don’t know your preferences
- If possible, email it to the mover before the moving day
Establish Knowledge about Insurance
- Talk to your mover about insurance
- Ask what it does and does not cover

We had the most fantastic experience with Asa, Jordan, Christian, and Marquis for our in-town move. They packed us up, moved us out, moved us in to our new home, and had our furniture re-built in about 8 hours. All of our items were packed carefully and none of our items had any damage. Cannot say enough good things about their professionalism and work ethic! Will definitely return for any future moves.

I was stressing over a 600+ mile move, but This Side Up made it the easiest move of my life. The price was reasonable and every bit of my furniture was wrapped in moving blankets and then plastic wrapped. All of my belongings arrived in perfect condition and right on schedule. Shoutout to my movers Alec H and Dashawn for being quick, careful, and fun and friendly too! I can't give enough praise for how well everything went.

I can't say enough good things about This Side Up. We found out about them via a mailer postcard. Just so happens we needed a moving company to help get some of our things from Madison to Athens. Anyone who has moved knows what a pain and time consuming job it is. Jordan, Kenneth, and Nate did a great job! My back was sore by just by watching them lift the heavy things. Once we move again in a few months, hopefully for the last time, we're giving this company a call! We were very pleased!

Nice website, easy to navigate. When I got a quote, there were a bunch of fees for missing TV boxes, computer monitors and to move a small apartment 7 miles. The quote of six hours seemed excessive, so I went with a competitor. Who can do it in under 4. When I moved these things in two years ago, it took me less than three hours. I didn’t understand and over quoting. 🤷🏼♀️

Awesome company and great guys. Brandon, Dylan, Tye and Ken from this company helped us move recently to our new house. They had great attitude, were respectful and very hard working. They were highly dependable and did their job with perfection with the least supervision from us. I appreciate them and wish them good luck in all future endeavors! I highly recommend these guys and this company if you are looking for movers and packers or just for storage.

They did a great job at not damaging any of our items. The price was the best in the area. The guys that took apart our dining table lost the screws but Mike made it right by sending us a check for $500 even though he was only liable for $80 according to the insurance. That is great customer service. Thanks so much Mike. Please thank all the guys for a smooth and stress free move. We highly recommend this company for your next move.

We needed a mover to help get some things into a new place recently purchased. Richard and his partner not only helped us get the items in but helped us also put things in the right place. They were quick, efficient, professional and nice. I can't recommend a better moving company. For your next move, call these people - I know we sure will!!

Alvin and Kala'i were awesome movers! My fiancé and I are moving in together so we had items from her apartment being moved into my apartment and then items from both of our apartments that needed to be moved into storage or thrown away. They were both very professional and friendly and got everything completed in a timely fashion. Thank you so much!

Super company. Great office staff Derrick and Kristi. Respectful, hardworking, careful with my furniture. Alvin, Justin, Clay, and Noah, were just exactly what you would need for help moving!! Only thing I didn't care for is they cannot go into attics to pull down boxes. Would have given 5 star otherwise.

Best movers ever! First of all, their estimate was right on the money. They didn’t try to charge you more at the end like some moving companies do. Our movers were Zeek and “D”. They were amazing! Like well run machines! Fast and efficient! We were impressed! Would highly recommend these guys!

We moved last week and had two great groups of movers. On Monday, Alec, Kylen, Kenneth and Manny helped us. On Tuesday, Jason, Vernetto, A.J. and Zach took over. We were so pleased with both groups. They were all very professional and took great care of our possessions. I would strongly recommend This Side Up Moving for your future move.

We could not have been more pleased with the moving services that THIS SIDE UP provided to our family! Our first day of moving included Alec, Kylen, Kenneth, and Manny. Our second day, Jason, Vernetto, A.J., and Zach assisted us with our move. These guys were ALL so very professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgable in the moving process. Thank you guys for everything you did to make a move lots easier:)

The movers were great— they packed up everything with extreme care, wrapped all furniture and made sure everything stayed clean and undamaged. Both loading and unloading they were quick and super professional. They did a GREAT job! My only gripe is that when all was said and done they did charge $150 over the quoted amount, which was a bummer.

Moving with This Side Up was such a great experience. We used them for each of the several days of our move. The guys, Alec, Kylen, Kenneth, and Manny were so helpful. We also had great help from another group of guys, Jason, Vernetto, AJ, and Zach. We would not have been able to make our move without them!

Cameron and Juster are the greatest. Thank you so much for assigning them to my move. They are some of the most respectable young men I have had the pleasure to meet and I will definitely ask for them again for any moving needs. This Side Up Moving has my vote 👍 and rocks!~ Vera & Laura

We had to move all of our furniture into our garage for some home improvement work, and TSU did an AMAZING job on both visits and in appointment setup. Joey, Kenneth, Holland and Cameron were super professional, friendly, careful and efficient. Our house has a steep driveway and narrow staircase and the teams managed to navigate everything without scratching walls or furniture (which was serious impressed - I regularly mess up the walls when carrying a laundry basket). Kristy worked with me on changing contractor dates to meet our appointment needs and was super lovely and responsive. I'm in no hurry to move, but when I do I will absolutely call This Side Up again!

Started off with Matthew coming out to look around and provide me a quote. Very professional and prompt. Delivery day- call them ACAC (Antonio, Christian, Asa, and Cameron), very young professionals. They arrived promptly and started to work. Works well as a team. I am requesting the ACAC crew for delivery. No more planned moves but if I did I will definitely be calling the company back.

This is the best moving company we have used! Zak and Richard were professional and provided excellent moving service! They called when they were on their way and arrived on time. They moved all of our items with care and within the estimated timeframe. We will definitely use this company again and ask for Zak and Richard. Highly recommend Zak and Richard and This Side Up Moving!

A co-worker recommended This Side Up Moving and I am glad I went with this company. The level of communication was phenomenal. Cameron and Kanoa were careful, respectful and even shared a few pointers on how to safely assemble/disassemble some of my pieces of furniture. While there was an issue with the truck, This Side Up was more than supportive and accommodating. I would recommend and would also use in the future.

I had a great experience with Jamar and Dylan from This Side Up Moving. I thought the pricing was fair and they did a quick and efficient job. They were courteous and professional, and although I was hesitant to use a moving company at first (this was my first time), I was so glad that I did, as it made a stressful event much more manageable.
