Moving Labor Services FAQs
1.
Will Your Packers and Movers Also Unpack My Items?
Absolutely! Our team at Blue Cow Moving & Storage doesn’t just pack; we ensure your transition is smooth by also meticulously unpacking your items and setting up your new space just how you like it.
2.
What is the Average Cost of Packing Services?
Packing services have a range of costs, predominantly influenced by the amount and nature of the items to be packed. The vast differences in possessions, from delicate antiques to bulky furniture, mean that one-size-fits-all pricing rarely applies. Typically, service providers assess the requirements first, providing a quote tailored to individual needs.
While rates remain competitive in the market, it’s the assurance of expertise and meticulous care that truly adds value.
This ensures that belongings, whether priceless heirlooms or everyday items, are protected against potential damage. So, while the monetary cost is one aspect, the peace of mind these services offer is invaluable.
3.
How Do You Pack Special Items?
For high-value and fragile pieces, we employ a specialized packing process using premium materials. Each item is handled with the utmost care, ensuring it remains in pristine condition during transit.
For a tailored solution and a free quote, don’t hesitate to call Blue Cow Moving & Storage at (515) 444-8661.
These guys were great and will easily hire them again. Very cautious and safe with all furniture and large paintings. Wrapped all items in moving blankets and plastice wrap. All items were moved into a temp storage unit with the same care. Job took a bit longer than estimated but moving site was unseen prior to estimate. That is just what it was, an estimate.
These young men were extremely respectful and careful with our belongings, and diligent with their time and effort.

It’s always tough when you have to move, especially when you’re making a decision for a parent. I called Blue Cow for an estimate, and they were very patient with all of my questions and followed up on their quote as well to make sure I understood. The movers showed up on time, ready to work and hustled-HARD. They did a great job protecting my moms things, moving them, and helping get the furniture in the right spots for mom. They were courteous, caring, helpful and they came in under budget. I could not be more pleased with their services and strongly recommend their services. I will be using them again when I move in a few months.

The movers were very polite.The estimate was 1/3 of what it actually cost. Very disappointed in that. More than double of 3 other estimates. Other movers came out and and looked at what was being moved.We did notice one of the cabinets was broken. HereIs a picture. The handles were broken, doors were cracked and legs were broken.
