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

Had a fantastic move experience today from the This Side Up Moving team: Ethan, Ty and Mario. The young men were on time, professional and extremely efficient. The team moved several large furniture items to A New Leash on Life for me as well as load lots and lots of boxes and household items into our personal trailer. We live on a steep hill, but the guys kept going up and down like energizer bunnies! I greatly appreciate the way they wrapped and packed my donation items, and the care they used in moving my household fragile items. Great job team! I have used This Side Up Moving for other moves, and they have always done an outstanding job.

This Side Up Moving was a very easy and straight forward experience. From creating an estimate and walk through with Colby to when the crew showed on time and executed the move. Ethan, Tristian, Tyler, and Dylan took time and professionally wrapped everything The crew was friendly, respectful and informed me of what they were doing along the way and always asked if they had questions or concerns. Everyone worked diligently for the 6 -7 hours they were there. They cleaned up and I paid them. No issues. Highly recommend Colby Robinson and the crew for any move in Madison AL.

Outstanding crew of Mardrell, Joey, Ty, Thomas gave us the best move we’ve ever experienced. They arrived on time, worked tirelessly, & carefully with our items to move to our new house. Pickup location was a tough one. They made it look easy. At our new home they were careful & made the effort to insure there was no problem with the new walls, floors as they completed a flawless move. These four men did an awesome job. After many moves with the military & industry I can finally say that yes, a perfect move can happen. In summary, the entire experience was positive from my initial request for an estimate to the cleanup the move crew did when done. You won’t regret using this company.

We had a great experience with This Side Up Moving. From working with the front office (Colby, Cristy, and Mike) to the actual move (Ethan, Alvin, JJ, Mandrell, and Prince), we found the entire team to be very professional, courteous, and cognizant of our needs and concerns. If we ever move again, I will certainly call This Side Up!!! Note: I may have misspelled a name or two but wanted to give each person the appropriate praise deserved. Thanks!

Had the pleasure of using "This Side up Moving" a few days back with Ethan and Colton as my servicemen. They did a phenomenal job and I can't recommend this company more! Booking the service time and date went extremely smooth as well and the entire experience end to end was flawless. I have moved more times than I can count, and this experience was by far the best. Thank you Ethan, Colton, and entire support staff!

This side up moving was phenomenal. The process was easy and professional. Kristy was very kind and organized for all the scheduling. The team they sent were very respectful of us and our belongings. It poured rain for the load and the unload. Never heard one guy complain. They wrapped all furniture and handled with care. Great job by all.

I should have contacted This Side Up Moving first. When my other movers failed to show up, I called This Side Up Moving. They got a crew out to help me load. Very polite and efficient movers. Would definitely use their services again.

Amazing service!! From the moment I spoke to Christy about quotes, to the three gentlemen loading up our truck for us to drive, there wasn’t a moment my husband and I were unpleased with. There was never a time Christy became frustrated with us for asking for several different quotes, or a single time the guys loading us up weren’t pleasant, hardworking and knowledgeable about packing a truck for a cross country move. This Side Up truly made our move easy and smooth... do yourself a favor and call them first.

I cannot say enough positive comments about this company. Promptly came and gave us an estimate and detailed communications about the process. Moving crew was very professional and took great care with packing and hauling all our belongings. Jordan, Nate, Alvin and Angel all went the extra mile to ensure that we were happy and our belongings were cared for. Very punctual and did exactly as promised. We will be moving our daughter in a few months and we will be using this company again!!!

Recently Alec and Jackson moved my son to Pensacola from Huntsville. They were great!. My whole experience with TSU was excellent from the time I made the initial call to Colby until Alec & Jackson left Pensacola. VERY PROFESSIONAL! The whole team worked with us, even tho we had given rather short notice. The type of people you enjoy being around. Will definitely use on our next move!

The movers, Mardrell Kirby and Colton (forgot his last name), did a GREAT job moving eight heavy pieces of furniture down some tricky stairs and landing. They even took on disassembling a task desk and removing a door just to get these and other bulky items out of the room. Once on the first floor, they staged furniture/items just right for donation pickup the next day. The rest they delivered to my storage unit and staged them in the right order as well! They were on time, worked within the timeframe of my estimate, and were cheery about it. They also laughed at my humor. From beginning to end, good job This Side Up! A+

I am in the middle of an "intrastate" move requiring all of my belongings be put into This Side Up storage building until the house I am renovating is done.. I have been working with Kristy from day 1 and she has done literally everything she can to be responsive, to make sure I had everything I needed on move day including boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and was there to answer all of my questions. On moving day, Jordan B and Spoon were sent to my house and my 6 year old son instantly fell in love with them. Both guys included my son, kept conversation going as they were also doing their work, let my son look inside the back of the truck. By time they had left and I had my son in my car ready to go, he was calling Jordan and Spoon his "bro's" and would not stop going on about how awesome they were. That whole day will leave a big impact on him through the years! My stuff is now in their storage facility so I'm sure I will have more awesome stuff to add as time goes on. But I am absolutely impressed by every situation and conversation I've had with every single person at this company. Would highly recommend!!

My daughter needed to move from Madison, AL to Lubbock, TX recently. She was able to do her own packing, but we wanted a company which could move her belongings quickly to her new location. We arranged to move with This Side Up's smaller local service instead of the National Van Line they also offer.She wanted to be there before the movers got there, so she left a day early, and I handled the move on the Madison end. Deshawn arrived promptly, and he and his partner worked quickly, efficiently, and carefully. They were considerate and professional. They arrived in Lubbock just a few hours after my daughter did. They made a trip to the storage unit and then moved the rest of her things to her new 2nd-floor apartment.My daughter was very pleased and impressed with the quality of the move and the courtesy of DeShawn. She was so grateful everything went quickly and smoothly!The final moving cost was actually lower than the low end of the estimate I got when I planned the move with the owner and manager. Deshawn said she did a great job of packing and organizing her things, and I think that helped. But the men also worked quickly on both ends. I highly recommend this company for their professionalism, care, and efficiency! We would definitely use them again!

I literally can't say enough good things about this company. I've had so many unpleasant experiences with moving companies in the past that every time I move I get a little skittish.. I am so happy I chose this company. I had the pleasure of having Madrell and Zack as my movers. To say that they are a powerhouse team would be an understatement, these young men moved my entire home with such passion and precision you would have thought that they were moving their own belongings. Madrell & Zack were on time (in fact a few mins early), professional, and the quality of their work should speak volumes for the entire moving industry. If you are looking for the best value for your money, choose this company. I promise you will not regret it.

My husband and I had been in the moving business for over 40 years. This was the first time we were the shippers. Our crew was Shayne and Jackson. They arrived on time and were very friendly and professional. Our stuff is going to storage and we hope that we get them on delivery out. Thank you Shayne and Jackson for putting us at ease with your great attitudes and professionalism. We truly appreciate it.Thank you again!!Chip and Toni

So let me tell you a story about how we booked movers from Steadfast Moving who showed up on a 3 hour job, worked 40 minutes and bailed on us with no notice. The guys at This Side Up Moving completely stepped up the plate and bailed us out. I could not be more thankful or appreciative for their efforts, professionalism and courtesy. They helped us out of an extremely tight spot in the best way possible. Would absolutely recommend and use again.

Spoon, tyler and Ben really came through for us in a pinch today and saved us.Our scheduled movers from steadfast movers worked 30 minutes on our apartment and ghosted us without even saying a word, up and left the job. abandoned Furniture in the hallway of the apartment, truck open, keys in it. total unprofessional job.This side up moving came in with a clutch rush job, got a crew of guys out there and these guys killed it. They were fast, organized, professional, clean, and courteous. I just have nothing but wonderful things to say. 10/10 recommend.

Mardrell Kirby and Nate were outstanding in our 3 bdm move! We were supposed to have 3 movers, but due to unforseen issues, it was just Mardrell and Nate. They quickly got to work, and never stopped moving. They were very careful with our goods and were very efficient at the same time. Can't say enough good about these movers!

Recently, my wife and I had a 2-truck team help us with a big items move. We could not have been happier with their overall helpfulness, attitude, and professionalism. Each team member went over and above to make the move successful.Despite unforeseen hurdles like a steeply graded driveway preventing them from normal loading, they simply parked in the street below, hauled things down the grade, and never complained/never wavered in focus. This individual attention to detail/attitude reflected tremendously on ThisSideUp, as a company.We will be sure to recommend this company to anyone in our circle of influence needing help with a move.

Top-notch moving company and crew at This Side up. I just had my first move with them today for some heavy equipment and inventory for my business. I needed a very on-time move, and am on a tight budget. Matt texted soooo many times helping me figure out something just right, with prompt and helpful responses. What really impressed me, too, was how thorough the intake call was- making sure they understood the need.The crew (Alvin and Devin) showed up exactly on time, worked hard and fast, and were very kind. My only wish is that the company make sure to support them with really good shoes! I have never seen any moving companies do this - but I think TSU is of the caliber to do so.

We could not have had a better experience with our crew from This Side Up Moving. Shayne Mitchell, Alec Higginbotham, Antonio Brown and Jackon Davie were careful with all our belongings, professional and kind to our family. They worked quickly and carefully and got the job done hours sooner than I had thought.

Our team consisted of Shane, Dee, Alvin, Nate and Alec. They were all professional gentlemen that were eager to help out in any way and went the the extra mile in doing some extras for us. Unfortunately the inventory assessment by email was probably not the best idea since it took two days to move us out rather than the one day scheduled which put us behind a day in moving in to our new house. From past moving experience, I believe in-home evaluations are more accurate. We had a few small pieces arrive broken due to the boxes marked “fragile” being packed into the trucks too tightly. Overall I would recommend TSU moving company!

I called This Side Up at 4pm the day before we started moving. My husband and I thought we could handle it but it quickly turned into a job too big for us. They got us a team out the next morning at 8am and we were done and unloaded in just a few hours. Very great team! They wrapped everything and made sure they unloaded everything wherever I wanted it. 10/10, we couldn’t have done it without them.
