Box Sizes
The bigger the boxes the better. If there is a lot of smaller like shoe or nick-knack boxes. The time to complete the move will be longer. We cannot be responsible for this extra time if boxes are not packed properly. Please ask any questions prior to booking a move with I Care Movers. We are here to help.

The times to complete a move will depend on how boxes are packed and ready. If the beds are broken down and mirrors taken off of dressers. Washer/Dryer unhooked. All things packed and stacked 4- 5 feet high with similar sizes on top of each other....1.5 with 1.5 and 3.0 on top of 3.0 and so on....this way when we load them up on our dollies to bring them to the truck they do not fall over with possible damage to the items inside. Fragile boxes should be kept separate from the heavy boxes…keep them in a safe corner or room. Keep doorways and hallways clear so to be safe for everyone. The more prepared you are the faster I Care Movers can efficiently move you and your family. By making this happen, money is saved and the “settling in” process can begin.
