We Pack It Right — Every Item, Every Time
Rick's Moving & Storage has protected Rio Grande Valley homes and businesses for over 35 years. Our professional packing team wraps fragile china, secures large furniture, and treats every belonging as if it were our own — so nothing gets damaged in transit.
Choose the Level of Help You Need
Not every move requires the same amount of packing support. Rick's offers three flexible packing options — so you only pay for the help you actually want.
Full-Service Packing
Our team handles everything — every room, every drawer, every shelf. We supply all materials, pack your entire home or office, label every box by room, and load it all onto the truck. Arrive at your new place and simply unbox.
Partial Packing
You pack what you're comfortable with, and we handle the rest. Perfect for customers who want help with fragile items, large artwork, or rooms they don't have time for. Mix and match coverage to fit your schedule and budget.
Unpacking Only
Already packed and just need help on the other end? Our team will unpack your boxes, place items in the right rooms, and remove all packing materials so you can settle in faster.
Professional Materials Built for Protection
We don't cut corners on packing supplies. Every Rick's packing job uses professional-grade materials selected for the specific item being packed — because the right box and the right wrap is what stands between your valuables and a claim.
- Wardrobe boxes with hanging bars — clothes move wrinkle-free
- Dish packs with cell dividers — china, glassware, and stemware travel safely
- Heavy-duty moving blankets — upholstered furniture and large items fully padded
- Custom crating — available for artwork, mirrors, antiques, and high-value pieces
- Stretch wrap and tape — mattresses, appliances, and oddly shaped items secured
Packing Services — Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions before adding packing services to your move? Here are the answers our customers ask most.
How much do packing services cost?
Packing costs depend on the size of your home, the number of rooms, and the level of service you choose. Full-service packing for a standard 3-bedroom home is typically quoted as an add-on to your moving estimate. Request a quote and we'll give you an itemized packing cost alongside your move price.Are packing materials included in the price?
Yes — when you book full-service or partial packing with Rick's, all professional packing materials (boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, wardrobe boxes, and dish packs) are included in your packing quote. You won't need to source supplies separately.Are there items Rick's cannot pack?
Yes. Per industry regulations and liability policies, movers cannot pack hazardous materials including flammables, aerosols, propane tanks, paint, and chemistry. Perishable food, live plants, and pets also cannot be transported by our crews. We'll provide a full prohibited-items list when you book.How long does professional packing take?
Packing time depends on the volume of items and the option you select. A full-service pack of a 2-bedroom apartment typically takes 3-5 hours with a two-person crew. Larger homes or partial-packing jobs are scoped during your quote. Packing is usually scheduled the day before your move date.
