Why Verde Valley households call us for full-pack
Full-service packing isn’t a rare add-on at North Desert Moving — close to a third of my Cottonwood customers want it. A Sedona-corridor commuter with a five-day relocation window doesn’t have time to box a kitchen. An Old Town adobe family selling a wine-collection-heavy house doesn’t want to risk the bottles. A rural Cornville household with a lifetime of workshop gear just doesn’t want to do it alone.
We bring everything: double-wall dish-pack cartons, wine-bottle dividers, wardrobe boxes, packing paper, bubble, tape. Silas or Marisol walks the house with you the day before, scopes what gets packed and what stays. A 2 or 3-person pack crew shows up the morning of, and the move crew rolls in right behind.

Hourly basis if you’d rather: $159/hr for 2 packers, $209/hr for 3. Cargo coverage up to $1,000,000 per shipment, $0.60/lb released-value standard, under our Arizona household-goods carrier permit.
What we crate, label, and inventory
Every carton gets labeled by room and content — kitchen-A, primary-closet, garage-tools. Wine bottles, china, and original art get individually wrapped and crated. Gun safes and pianos get a specialty rider on the job. Full-house packing pairs well with a long-distance move where you can’t reopen boxes to fix what’s missing en route.

What will it run?
Two polos plus the rig running the clock at $159/hr, or shut the meter down entirely with a countersigned Verde Valley flat figure that folds the whole job onto one page
Both rates already cover pads, dollies, shrink film, hand-carry gear for Jerome's switchback streets, and whatever Certificate of Insurance a Sedona-corridor or Verde Santa Fe building wants on file. Add a third mover and the crew rate becomes $209/hr.
