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
Testimonials of Our clients
This Side Up Moving made our recent move a wonderful experience. The staff were all extremely professional and courteous. Everything went smoothly from the estimate by Matthew, to the packing/loading and delivery. We have a lot of antiques and the loading team (Brett, Dareon, and Jayden) took extra care to ensure they were well protected. They were quick and efficient in their loading process. Alvin, Mason, and Kanoa delivered our household goods the next day. They were also very efficient in the unloading process. They took extra care not to scratchthe floors of the new house, which we truly appreciate. They also unloaded a gun safe from our F-250 that my husband had picked up earlier in the day (all pre-arranged with This Side Up Moving). An absolutely amazing team! Kristi and Shelby (I hope I have the names right) we kind and very customer oriented as well. They answered all my questions quickly...excellent customer service! I would highly recommend This Side Up Moving for any move, local or out-of-state. Thank you for an excellent moving experience!!

Very happy with this company. From the initial phone call to final item they were professional and respectful. Shelby was polite and informative during my initial call. This being my first time using a moving company she answered questions I didn’t even know I had 😀. Then Mason and Zak were efficient, nice, and treated myself and my furniture with respect. They even finished 30 minutes earlier than expected which saved us some money. Would highly recommend the company for any of your moving needs.

This Side Up Moving and Storage is the RIGHT side up for me! The men, Torrey, Jamarr, Joey, and Kenneth, are professional and great to work with. The estimating process is easy, quick, and accurate. The Packers knocked out the task under the estimated time. Thank you This Side Up team!

This Side Up movers moved my family on August 11, which was the hottest day of the year! The movers were diligent, careful, conscientious, and very polite- even with a heat index of 110F and I can’t even imagine how hot it was in the back of the truck. They moved my mother-in-law’s precious piano like it was their own family heirloom. We can’t express our thanks enough to Jordan, Kenneth, Kaliah, and Gerrod. An outstanding experience overall.

Outstanding job today by Jay, Jordan and Dillon! They were very thorough in protecting each item before loading the truck. Then took extra care to ensure that everything was placed exactly where we wanted it.My move is divided into (2) parts - today they moved us from the apartment to the new house. On Monday, they’ll move the rest of our belongings from storage. I’ve requested Jay, Jordan and Dillon again for the move on Monday, great crew!This Side Up took provided top notch service. I highly recommend giving Kristy a call if you’re planning a move!Thanks guys!

This Side Up Moving is definitely the way to go! All of the staff that we either spoke to on the phone or spoke with in person were so helpful and friendly. Due to us moving into a new build and our closing being pushed back, we had some scheduling issues (for us, not the moving company). This Side Up was very understanding and worked with us on getting our belongings moved to the new location as soon as they could. As far as the actual movers, they did amazing! We had Zack, Calvin, Garrod, Marcus and Brett. They were so careful with our belongings and our new walls! Not one scratch even in a tight 90 degree staircase! I was very impressed with Zack and Garrod getting some lager pieces upstairs. Everyone was very respectful of both houses and all of our stuff. I highly recommend this company for your next move!

We use TSU for our resident moves and as usual, the team they provided for our resident were so professional and kind. Zack, Gerrod, and Kanoa did such a great job and were kind to her during such an emotional time for her. Would highly recommend this moving company to any one of our incoming families. They always have such a quick and hassle free response as well!

First, I started off by contacting three local moving companies in the Huntsville, AL area. Kristy, at "This Side Up", was the only one that offered an immediate and friendly explanation of their moving procedures, policies and how I might fit into their service and schedule in a timely manner. It was a clear and easy decision to sign-up with 'This Side Up" for my move.The best part of my interface with "This Side UP" was with the packjng and moving personnel of the company. It was obvious that the company culture centered on the customer with professional, friendly and accommodating support by all of the workers. Few organizations are able to have workers that are so focused on productivity in such a cheerful and cooperative manner. Each worker gave me the satisfaction that they were not just handling my possessions but were personally caring for each item that they packed or moved.During the packing, I had to change some appointments dealing with the sale of my home. "This Side Up" managers readily adapted their schedule to meet my needs. I really appreciated this support.The highlight of the move was that I had no damage at all - no nicks on my furniture and no dents in my walls. This is what a truly professional moving company is all about. I wholeheartedly recommend "This Side Up" to handle any and all of your moving needs.

Wonderful staff, wonderful move. On time, better than estimated and very professional. I worried about Tropical Storm Elsa riding up the coast and following the truck and team. But Alex and his team went the extra "mile" to beat the storm and unload etc. Thanks everyone at This Side Up.

First and foremost, when I called I was super last minute with the move and all my details. Kristy was extremely accomodating and made sure every detail was accounted for. On the day of the move the guys gave me a call and arrived in an extremely prompt manner. Brett, Jay and Tyler H were AMAZING! They cared for our items as if they were their own, they were extremely attentive and moved everything swiftly and meticulously. This was the best moving experience I have had by a long shot. If you're looking for a moving company these are the guys for you.
