Packing

Good packing is essential to a good move. Unless your belongings are properly prepared before they are loaded on the van, the risk of damage is greatly increased.

Our skilled packers do a professional job of getting your household goods ready for moving. They have the know-how, experience, equipment and materials needed for maximum protection.

Specially designed containers are used for such items as crystal, china, lamp shades and books. Closet-size wardrobes keep your clothing fresh, clean and wrinkly-free.

 

One of the Nice Things About a United Move Is What You Don’t Get

We think that it’s important to keep your belongings fresh. That’s why we go to the trouble of treating our vans with the exclusive Sanitized ® – treated process. The result: an environment free from mildew, mold, insects and unpleasant odors. Best of all, there’s no charge for this extra protection.
