Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Delaware’s Preferred Packing Services Company
We’ve been serving Delaware since long before the current building boom, and our reputation here is built on one thing: showing up and doing what we said we’d do. Our crews know the difference between packing for a 1920s foursquare on Winter Street with a steep, turning staircase and packing for a 4,000-square-foot new build near Cheshire Crossing where the garage bay is generous but the trim work is still curing.
Delaware customers find us because someone they trusted recommended us, or because they read our reviews and noticed the same names showing up, the same specific details about crews who called before they knocked and finished in the window promised. We don’t buy our way to the top of search results; we earn our way there through jobs done right and our 90-Day Done Right Promise that still answers the phone three months after delivery.
Response time to Delaware is same-day or next-day for estimates, and we schedule packing to coordinate with your closing, your lease start, or your builder’s certificate of occupancy, not the other way around. When Ohio Wesleyan’s academic calendar floods the market with August and late-May moves, our Delaware customers have already locked in their dates because we plan ahead, not react late.
Our Packing Services in Delaware
Full Packing Service
A full pack means we handle everything: kitchen, closets, garage, basement, the contents of your attic in Delaware’s older homes near downtown. We bring the boxes, the paper, the tape, the wardrobe cartons. In Delaware’s new subdivisions, we often coordinate this service around builder punch lists, because packing into a home that’s still being finished is a different job than packing into a completed one. Our crew chief walks the house first, notes where floor runners need to go, where corner guards belong, and whether the custom oak staircase needs blanket-wrapping before a single box crosses the threshold. The price for a full pack in Delaware runs $300-$1,600, and it’s backed by the same Move-Right Guarantee that covers all our work: the quote we give after survey is the quote you pay.
Partial Packing
Some Delaware customers pack the easy rooms themselves and hire us for the heavy lifting: kitchens, china cabinets, home offices with electronics. This is common for families moving from Delaware’s historic districts, where three generations of possessions have accumulated in built-in hutches and window-seat storage that standard box sizes don’t fit. We customize the scope to what you actually need, and we price it accordingly.
Unpacking Service
Our unpacking service in Delaware focuses on the rooms you need functional immediately: kitchen, primary bedroom, bathrooms. We don’t just empty boxes; we place items where you want them, break down and remove all packing materials, and leave you with a home you can live in that night. For Delaware’s inbound relocators from Chicago, Atlanta, or the coasts, this service is often the difference between a chaotic first week and a settled first night.
Fragile & Art Packing
Delaware’s proximity to Columbus has attracted a growing population of professionals with serious art collections, antiques, and heirloom pieces. Our fragile and art packing service runs $300-$1,600 and includes custom-built cardboard enclosures, acid-free paper, and double-walled boxes for high-value items. We’ve packed oil paintings for moves from Delaware to Naples, Florida; we’ve crated mid-century ceramics for transport to New York galleries. Every piece we pack carries full-value protection, and our crews are trained to handle items they can’t replace.
Custom Crating
Standard boxes fail for certain pieces: marble-topped consoles, oversized mirrors, antique clock cases. Our custom crating service in Delaware, priced at $300-$1,600, builds wooden frames to the exact dimensions of your item, with foam inserts cut to fit. We use Uline materials for consistency and Milwaukee tools for precision cuts. The crate travels with your shipment and can be uncrated at destination by our crew or left for your own schedule.
Packing Supplies & Boxes
We sell professional-grade supplies to Delaware customers who prefer to pack themselves: Uline boxes in standard and specialty sizes, paper, tape, mattress bags, dish barrels. Delivery is available within Delaware, and we’ll consult on quantity so you don’t end up with sixteen unused wardrobe boxes.
Trusted Equipment and Materials We Use in Delaware
Our Delaware crews work with professional-grade materials sourced for consistency and protection. We stock Uline corrugated boxes in double-walled configurations for heavy items, and we use Milwaukee fastener tools when building custom crates on-site. For customers who’ve rented a Budget Truck Rental or U-Pack container for a self-managed leg of their move, we can pre-pack your items to container-ready standards so nothing shifts in transit. Every Delaware job carries our standard floor runners, door jamb protectors, and corner guards, with extras added automatically for new-construction homes where builder warranties are still in effect.
Common Packing Problems We See in Delaware Homes
- Assuming new construction is move-in ready. In Delaware’s booming subdivisions, builders are often still finishing trim, touch-up paint, or hardwood sealing when buyers get keys. Packing into an unfinished house without floor protection and dust containment can leave marks that void your builder’s warranty. We survey the site condition before we start and adjust our protection level accordingly.
- Under-packing for historic staircases. The late-19th and early-20th century homes near Ohio Wesleyan feature narrow, angled staircases with landings that turn back on themselves. Standard wardrobe boxes won’t navigate these turns without disassembly and re-wrapping, which untrained crews often skip, leading to snagged drywall and scuffed banisters.
- Ignoring saturated ground conditions. Delaware’s flat glacial terrain and the Olentangy River corridor mean low-lying properties stay wet well into spring. Heavy hand trucks sink into soft turf, tipping loads and risking damage to packed fragile items. We bring plywood track or wait for proper conditions rather than force a schedule.
- Using consumer-grade supplies for professional distances. A box that holds up for a move across Delaware may fail on a long-distance haul to Florida or Texas. We spec materials for the actual journey, not just the loading phase.

Pricing for Packing Services in Delaware, OH
| Service | Price Range in Delaware |
|---|---|
| Full Packing Service | $300-$1,600 |
| Fragile & Art Packing | $300-$1,600 |
| Custom Crating | $300-$1,600 |
What moves the needle within these ranges? Three factors: the volume of goods, the fragility and specialty handling required, and access conditions at your Delaware home. A full pack of a 2,500-square-foot new build with wide doorways and a two-car garage lands differently than the same volume in a 1910 home on Sandusky Street with a steep basement bulkhead and original plaster walls. We don’t guess. We survey, we measure, we put a binding written quote in your hand. The price we quote is the price you pay. Current offers include $250 off moves over $2,500, free wardrobe boxes on every full-service move, and free in-home or video estimates. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Packing Services in Delaware
We typically pack one to three days before moving day, especially for Delaware homes with large kitchens or substantial art collections that require custom crating. This separation lets us work methodically without the pressure of a loaded truck waiting outside, and it gives you time to sort what you’re keeping, donating, or discarding before the movers arrive. For same-day coordination, we can schedule an early crew; call (855) 890-3455 to discuss timing.
We delay or segment the packing schedule to protect unfinished work, and we arrive with extra floor runners, corner guards, and moving blankets as standard equipment. In a new-construction home near Cheshire Crossing, our crew arrived on closing day to find builders still finishing trim work. We laid extra floor runners in the main traffic paths, used corner guards on every doorway, and wrapped the custom wound-and-lacquered stair railings in moving blankets before bringing in a single box. By coordinating packing around the builders’ schedule, we kept the fresh paint and oak floors spotless through the two-day move-in process. If your builder’s timeline is uncertain, we build flexibility into our schedule at no extra charge.
For local moves within Delaware or to nearby Powell, Lewis Center, Sunbury, or Dublin, we can coordinate packing in the morning and unpacking at destination the same afternoon if the volume is moderate and access is straightforward. Larger homes or those with specialty items requiring custom crating need more time. We’ll tell you honestly during the estimate whether same-day turnaround is realistic for your specific situation.
Yes. Every full-service pack includes all necessary boxes, paper, tape, and specialty containers, including free wardrobe boxes. For long-distance moves out of Delaware, we spec heavier-duty corrugated board and reinforce tape patterns to withstand the extended transit. We don’t charge box rental or return fees; everything we bring is yours to keep or recycle.
We monitor ground conditions and bring plywood track or wait for proper drainage rather than risk equipment sinking into saturated soil. Delaware’s flat glacial terrain means spring thaw and heavy rains leave low-lying properties wet well into April. If your driveway or yard is soft, we’ll park on the street or a hard surface and use longer ramps or hand-carry distances rather than force heavy dollies through mud. We’d rather add fifteen minutes of careful handling than risk a tipped load of packed china. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll survey your specific access during the estimate.
