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
Jordan and Bobby did a local move for me and I am very satisfied. They were prompt, efficient, professional, put everything where it needed to go, and more. They didn't waste time, but were still friendly and polite. They didn't balk at the steps - on both sides of the move - and took care with both our goods and the walls and ceilings. I would definitely suggest you check out This Side Up if you need help with a move.

March 26This Side Up movers Made my mother's move a pleasant experience! She has a lot of antique furniture and she was so worried about the move. This Side Up team (Zack, Mario, and Alec) took great care of all of her things, making sure to wrap up each piece and moving it all with great care. Zack was very pleasant, and showed interest in many of her pieces; this made her feel proud to share the history of her furniture with him as he wrapped them up to move.I will feel confident recommending them to my friends and family!! Thank you This Side Up!

Recently had a big move for my grandmother to Redstone Village. Zak, Alec, and Mario did a wonderful job! Very helpful and more than willing to make things easy for her. Had several large items that were moved without issue. Everything arrived in great condition. They had several options to help with organization and moving the little things as well. Would highly recommend this group.

They did a great job and were super professional. My only issue: I would prefer that they have customers fill out all of the paperwork required online, instead of taking up moving time to do that.

Ethan, Brett, Kenneth, Mario and Joey were life-savers! I had to have several large items relocated from Alabama to Kentucky; they were the items that were too large for me to move myself. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing help! I plan on using them again in the future. Thanks again, guys!! 😊

This is the fourth time we have called This Side Up to help us as we have downsized. (We are doing this in stages!) Each time they have been excellent. Shout out to Brett and Kenneth who were very helpful, even going the extra mile. We definitely recommend this company and their workers.

What could have been a tough day for moving in the rain, Brett and Zak made it a perfect experience. They were timely, efficient, and friendly. They handled our items with great care and went out of their way to be sure the day went flawlessly. If you need a moving service, This Side Up should be your first call. Thanks for making our day!

If you’re moving! Call these guys!! This was my first time using a moving company. I’d always had family move me. I wasn’t sure what to expect. But This Side Up went above & beyond my expectations. Zak and Brett were the best movers I could ever wish for! They were polite, respectful, gentle with my belongings, and super accommodating! Can’t brag enough on these guys!! Thank you This Side Up!! You took the stress right out of my move!

Had a gang of good guys come over earlier today to move some things and it would be a lie to say this isn’t the best moving company I’ve ever used. Special thanks to Ethan, Kenneth, and Ty for the quick work and phenomenal job. They went above and beyond what was needed.

I have used This Side Up Moving on multiple occasions in the last 8 years and their professionalism and execution have always been phenomenal! They accommodated a difficult out of country move for me, as well as, packing, storage, and my return move and everything went smoothly. They are always very responsive and provide a certain level of calm to a typically stressful event! I would recommend them to anyone moving into the area as well as, anyone moving locally! It’s always great to see a local business grow and continue providing quality service throughout the years! Thank you to the entire TSU team!

Long review but this company and their crew warrant this. This is a very positive, good review of a good company and crew. Not sure how many reviews I've done on Google, but it's not many, so this is one of my rare reviews of a company.The crew they sent were top-notch! I'd use them again (and did, both for the loading and unloading). It started with Matthew (coordinator on the phone, nothing in person) and he ensured that he had a good understanding of the move by asking the right questions.When the crew (Alvin, Joey, and Canoa) arrived and saw no surprises, they got right to it. They were awesome - polite, diligent, organized, and interactive where needed - everything you'd want in a moving crew. 5 hours to completely remove our stuff (over 8,000# worth, a lot of stuff) from our house, load it into two trucks, and off they went. They were so good, I specifically requested them to be the crew to unload us two days later, they were that good and we trusted them that much. (They were indeed the crew to load at the other end.) We got to the distant end (in state move but not local by any stretch) and that same crew got right to it. About 5 hours to unload both of those trucks.I've moved a lot in my life, about 15 times (my Father and I both did careers in the military), and this is the first move I can say I had no damage to anything shipped and no delays. They were careful, not rushing but definitely moving on with the job.Some details: 1) Came in right at the estimate (within 5% of the quote). 2) Completed both ends of the move in the times estimated (really good considering they didn't see anything until the crew arrived). 3) Their estimate was about 40% below the next closest estimate (same details given for everything, and I talked to four companies, counting these folks, to get estimates).I highly recommend these folks for your next move, both this company and this crew especially. We were 100% satisfied with the company and crew and will call them first if we need to move again (but hope this is our last move).

I have hired moving companies several times, and the three gentlemen (Alvin, Kanoa, and Joey) from This Side Up were the most professional, careful, efficient, friendly movers ever. After they loaded the trucks we called the office to let them know how pleased we were with the crew and asked if the same team could do the unload, which was 2 days later in another city. The office made that happen and we are thankful for that. Move-in day the crew greeted us and then got down to work with the same careful, speed and efficiency! Thank you to Alvin, Kanoa, and Joey for making this move a pleasant experience! You guys are awesome!

Have used This Side Up Moving for various reasons in the past, and have always referred business to them. Ethan, Zac, and Kenneth were awesome moving my belongings from 2 different locations to my new house. They knocked it out in 5 hours, put furniture where I pointed, and were very courteous throughout the move. Highly recommend using This Side Up Moving for all of your moving needs.

We recently moved out of state from Huntsville and chose This Side Up Moving to help us. Not only did we need their moving services but they also provided us with extended storage for those things we're not quite ready for. I can't say enough good things about the service from beginning to end. Matthew Street did a fantastic job in estimating and planning the three day move event. For the out of state move, Zack and Brett spearheaded this effort - loading, transporting out of of state, and unloading at the new location - and did an exceptional job! The move team was professional and excellent to work with. I'm looking forward to working with them again when the final move from storage to the new location takes place. I highly recommend This Side Up Moving!

I moved across Madison with these guys, and I am super happy with the way things went! I was treated with respect and professionalism from the first phone call to the last piece of furniture moved. I would highly recommend them, and I want to thank Colby and Kristy for handling the calls, and Jordan, Alec, and Nate for helping me with my move with less than a week notice. They saved my parents and me a great deal of time and effort. Thank you This Side Up!- Jonathan F.

I called this company super last minute as we were on our way to our new house absolutely exhausted from loading up the uhaul. They were able to send two guys that came and unloaded all the big heavy stuff for us! Best money we have ever spent! Our backs were saved and I will definitely call this company again and refer them for anyone needing movers!

These guys moved my Mom's furniture from Huntsville to Louisville, Alec and Brett were not only friendly and accommodating, but on the day they arrived both my Mom and my brother were in the hospital and they made a very very stressful day much less so. I can't recommend Alec and Brett enough. Ask for them.
