What unpacking and organizing service includes
Unpacking and organizing is a destination service booked through a moving or relocation company, or requested directly by the family moving. A technician empties the boxes, puts the kitchen away, makes the beds and sets items where the family wants them. Organizing help is part of the job, so the new home starts clutter free.
Unpacking takes more than opening boxes. A technician unwraps dishes and glasses without breaking them, sets up a grandfather clock in the exact spot picked, and sets up flat screen TVs with the same care used to pack them. Every technician is insured and has passed a background check, and Alliance works only with top-rated providers who pass regular performance evaluations.
An order starts with a free estimate based on the pieces, the services and the distance. Most estimates come back in minutes, though larger or unusual jobs can take up to one business day. Every order gets one named coordinator, and the customer can track status and arrival times in the online portal from start to finish.
