Some people want every drawer packed; others only want the kitchen and the breakables done right. AD Movers packing services in New Orleans come two ways: full packing, where the crew boxes the whole house, or partial packing, where you pick the rooms. Use your own boxes and supplies and you pay only the hourly labor.
| Home size | How materials are charged |
|---|---|
| Studio – 1 Bedroom | Smallest kit, listed in your quote |
| 2 Bedroom | Mid-size kit, listed in your quote |
| 3 Bedroom+ | Kit sized to the house, listed in your quote |
The kit includes: stretch wrap, paper wrap, bubble wrap,
tape gun, tape, markers, and box cutters.
Bring your own boxes and supplies and you pay labor only at the hourly rate.
Packing is the part of a move people underestimate. Furniture can be loaded in a day; drawers, closets and kitchen cabinets can eat a week of evenings. A packing crew does it in one visit and brings the supplies: dish packs, wardrobe boxes, TV boxes, paper pads, shrink wrap and plenty of tape. This page covers what each kind of packing includes, how our packers handle the breakables, and how packing is priced.
Full packing means you do not pack anything. The crew boxes every room, labels each box by room and contents, and loads in an order that makes unpacking easier. Time depends on how full the cabinets, closets and garage are, so a full house is usually packed the day before the truck comes.
Partial packing is for people who will box their own clothes, books and linens but want help with what breaks. It takes fewer crew hours than full packing and puts the packers where the risk is. A typical partial-packing list looks like this:
From our Google reviews: “The guys were very respectful and took great care handling my stuff. Highly recommend this company for any packing or moving needs.” (Jeff B.) And from Cheryl H.: “Prompt, courteous, took good care in moving this heavy china cabinet.”
Packing is billed by the hour, plus materials if we supply them, and it books with your move so the crew that packed the kitchen is usually the crew that loads it. Mention packing in the instant price tool and your ballpark includes it. You approve the final number before move day, and no extra charge appears without your say-so.

Packing is rarely booked on its own. If you want the crew to pack, move, unpack and set the new house back up, that is our white glove moving service — same packers, with unpacking and setup included. If you only need the move itself, start with full service movers or local movers in New Orleans.
Moving something that does not go in a box? A piano, a pool table or a gun safe each get their own crew and equipment, and they can be added to the same booking as your packing day.
Yes, and for a full house we recommend it. Packing happens on day one and the move on day two, so the house stays livable, you can check that nothing was missed, and the truck crew starts loading right away instead of waiting on boxes. For a small apartment or a partial pack, packing and moving can often happen on the same day.
Propane tanks, gasoline, open paint, pool chemicals and anything else flammable or hazardous cannot go on the truck. Tell us what is in the garage, the shed and under the sink, and we will flag those items early. Keep cash, jewelry, medication and important papers with you rather than in a box.
Yes. Ask for unpacking when you book. The crew places boxes in the right rooms, unpacks what you want unpacked, puts dishes in the cabinets if you like, and takes away the empty boxes and paper. If you want the whole house set back up for you, look at our white glove moving service.
It depends on how full the house is more than on the bedroom count. A kitchen with years of dishes, a full china cabinet and a packed garage take longer than closets of clothes. Tell us which rooms you want packed in the instant price tool or on the phone, and the ballpark accounts for the packing hours.
No. If we supply materials, the crew brings boxes, dish packs, wrap, paper and tape, and the materials charge is listed in your quote. If you already have boxes or want to use your own supplies, that works too, and you pay only the hourly labor for the packing.
Yes. That is partial packing, and you choose the list: the kitchen, a china cabinet, framed art and mirrors, the TVs, or the one room you dread. The crew packs those items in the right cartons and leaves the rest to you, which keeps the hours down while still protecting what breaks.
Set aside what is not going: donations, trash, and anything you are moving yourself. Keep valuables, medication and documents in one spot marked do not pack. Empty the fridge if it is moving, and point out any piece that needs extra care, such as a family heirloom or a large mirror.
