Packing and Unpacking Done by Our Own Crews
A pair of our packers gets through 60 to 80 boxes in a working day. The kitchen eats 30 to 45 of those on its own. Packing a kitchen is like cooking Thanksgiving: the recipe says three hours, and it's never three hours. That's why it's the room people wish they'd handed over. We show up with every box, the paper, the tape and the dish packs, and each carton gets a room label plus a number on the inventory sheet. Labelled, logged, loaded.
Stamford Prestige Movers provides packing and unpacking services to Stamford and nearby Connecticut and New York towns, including New Canaan, Wilton, Darien, Greenwich and Rye. Around two thirds of our 900 moves last year chose partial packing: we did the kitchen, the glass and the art, they did the books and the linens. We think that split is the best value in the whole business.

Types of Packing Services
Mix and match. Just name the rooms you'd rather not touch.
Full Packing
Every room. Every closet. Every drawer that has to be emptied. Most houses get packed the day before the truck, and for four bedrooms and up we start two days ahead.
Partial Packing
Pick the rooms you hate. For most people that's the kitchen, the china cabinet, lamps, mirrors and anything framed, and handing over just those knocks about half off a full packing bill.
Kitchen Packing
Plates go upright in dish packs with cell dividers, every glass gets its own slot, and knives are wrapped and marked so nobody grabs one blind. Two of our packers need about five hours for a full kitchen.
Fragile and Art Packing
Paintings get glassine, frames get foam corners, and marble tops or big mirrors get custom wooden crates. The really valuable pieces have their own page: fine art moving.
Unpacking Services
We unload the boxes onto counters and shelves, flatten every carton and take all the paper away. Kitchen and bedrooms are what most people book us to unpack.
Packing Materials Only
Rather pack it yourself? Fine by us. We'll sell you dish packs, wardrobe boxes, book cartons, tape and paper, and drop the lot at your door in any town we serve.

How Much Do Packing Services Cost in Stamford?
Packing services in Stamford run about $900 to $1,700 for a full two-bedroom apartment and $1,500 to $3,000 for a three-bedroom house, with every box and roll of tape included. Just the kitchen costs $650 to $1,400. What drives the price is the box count, and a big kitchen or a wall of books adds the most.
What We Pack Differently
- Plates stand on edge, never flat. Upright in a dish pack, they shrug off potholes.
- Each lampshade rides alone. Nothing heavier than paper shares its box.
- Clothes stay on the hanger. Wardrobe boxes go closet to closet, no ironing at the other end.
- Hardware gets bagged. Every bed bolt and table screw is taped to the piece it came from.
- No box over 50 pounds. Heavy cartons burst. Backs do too.
One of our crew leads says the same thing in every kitchen she walks into: if you can hear it rattle, it isn't packed. We've seen enough to agree. Over the years we've unpacked plenty of jobs other people packed, and the broken glass always came out of the box that rattled.
Should You Pack Yourself?
Roughly half, yes. Books, towels, toys and folded clothes are easy wins that save you real money. The kitchen, glassware, art and lamps eat the hours, and that's where things break. If you ask us, it's the smart division of labour: you hold on to about half the packing bill, and the fragile half goes to people who wrap plates five days a week. Book it alongside local moving, and the crew that sealed the boxes is the same crew that lifts them. More on local moving.
Packing for a Long Distance Move
A carton riding 1,100 miles to Florida gets lifted, stacked and shifted far more than one going across town. So long runs get double-wall cartons for anything breakable, extra paper in every gap and tape over both seams. The room label and inventory number still go on every box, and the driver ticks those numbers off at delivery. Not on the list means not on our truck. The rest of the trip's pricing is on long distance moving.
Some things can't ride in our boxes or on our trucks, full stop: paint, propane, gasoline, pool chemicals, anything that could catch fire. Burn through them, hand them to a neighbour, or take them to a town hazardous waste day before the truck comes.
What Our Customers Say After the Truck Leaves
Every review at Stamford Prestige Movers gets read by Gina and by the crew lead on that job. If we moved you, a few honest lines help the next family in Fairfield County pick a mover with real information.
Priya S. Our building at Harbor Point wanted a certificate of insurance and a dock time. Gina’s office sent both before I even asked. The crew had the two-bedroom in the truck by 11 and set up in North Stamford by 3.
Local move · Harbor Point to North StamfordTom & Alison K. Moving out of a fourth-floor walk-up on the Upper West Side is nobody’s idea of fun. They packed the kitchen the day before, carried everything down without a scratch on the banister and the price matched the estimate.

Packing Service FAQs
How long does packing take?
How long does packing take?
Two of our packers finish a two-bedroom apartment in roughly one day, and a three-bedroom house in one to two. The kitchen is the slow room, about five hours by itself. We schedule packing for the day or two before your move, so the truck loads straight from boxes our own crew taped and labelled.
Do you supply the boxes and materials?
Do you supply the boxes and materials?
Yes. Every packing job comes with the cartons, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, paper, bubble wrap and tape. You only pay for what we actually use, counted box by box. Prefer to pack yourself? We sell the same materials and drop them off at your door in Stamford or anywhere else we serve.
Will you pack things left in drawers?
Will you pack things left in drawers?
Light, soft things like folded clothes and towels can stay in the drawers, and we wrap the dresser closed. Anything heavy, loose or breakable has to come out and into a box: books, tools, jewellery, glass, paperwork. Desks always get emptied, because their drawers slide and crack in transit.
Can you pack on the same day as the move?
Can you pack on the same day as the move?
For a studio or small one-bedroom, yes: packers start at 8 and the movers load right behind them. Anything bigger, we pack the day before, because loading a half-packed house burns more hours than it saves. Same-day or not, every box is labelled and logged before it goes on the truck.
Can you unpack only part of the house?
Can you unpack only part of the house?
Yes, and it's what most of our customers pick. The kitchen goes first, then the bedrooms, so the beds are made on the very first night. Things go onto shelves and counters, the empty cartons get flattened, and the paper and boxes leave with us that same afternoon.
