Full Packing Services in New Orleans
Nobody has time to box a whole kitchen during finals — give Desiree a date and it's done before the truck even backs in.
- Written before Marcus books the truck
- Payroll crew, our own trucks
- Louisiana household-goods standing on file
Start your estimate
Desiree can often quote it from your description alone.
Not everyone has time to pack. Finals week doesn’t leave much room for wrapping glassware, and a family relocating a full house has a hundred other things competing for attention. Fast Affordable College Student Movers offers full and partial packing services across New Orleans, handled by the same crew that loads and drives your move, not a separate outsourced team.
What’s included
Full packing covers your entire household — kitchen, closets, books, electronics, decor — boxed, labeled by room, and padded appropriately for fragile items. Partial packing lets you handle everyday items yourself while we take on the fragile or awkward stuff: dishware, artwork, electronics, and anything you’d rather not risk. We supply boxes, tape, and packing paper as part of the service, so you’re not making a Target run at 11pm before move day.
Who this serves
This pairs naturally with almost every other service we offer. Students doing a dorm or apartment move during finals week often just want their desk and closet packed while they’re studying. Families booking a residential move or a long-distance move to Atlanta or Nashville benefit most, since a full pack means nothing shifts loose over a six-hour drive.
Pricing factors
Packing is quoted by room count and item volume, plus whether it’s full-service or partial. A one-bedroom apartment runs far less than a four-bedroom house, and fragile-item-only packing (glassware, electronics, art) costs less than a whole-home pack. Desiree can quote packing alongside your move in a single call so you get one number, not two separate estimates to compare.
Team callout
Katie Sonnier leads most of our packing crews during the spring semester crunch, when students want their room packed fast without anything getting crushed under a stack of textbooks. For long-distance jobs, Jamal Broussard coordinates packing standards with the loading plan directly, since how something is boxed changes how it needs to be loaded for a multi-hour drive.
Scheduling around the academic calendar
Packing requests spike hardest during May finals week, when students have zero bandwidth between exams and move-out deadlines, and again in early August before move-in. Booking your packing service alongside your move date, rather than as an afterthought, guarantees the crew has the right materials on hand. Start with a quote and mention you want packing included.
Bundled in, not billed separately
Here's what shows up on the truck with your crew
You won't see these listed as extras on the invoice — they're just part of how a New Orleans job gets done.
- Room-by-room packing with content and destination labeling
- Specialty materials for textbooks, dishware, and dorm electronics
- Wardrobe boxes so closet contents travel on hangers
- Full or partial packing, priced separately so finals week doesn't cost you extra
- Unpacking available at delivery on request

The rest of the lineup
Need a different kind of move?
Same New Orleans crew handles all of these across Greater New Orleans, not a separate subcontractor per service.
Local Moving
Katie's crew has hauled enough futons up Freret Street stairwells to size a truck from the address alone.
Long-Distance Moving
Jamal runs the same truck all the way home to Houston or Atlanta — nobody hands your boxes to a stranger halfway.
Residential Moving
A shotgun house off Magazine and a Metairie split-level get the same careful crew, different equipment.
Dorm & Apartment Moving
We know which Freret and Broadmoor complexes need a certificate of insurance before the elevator opens up.
Piano Moving
An upright and a baby grand don't move the same way, so Jamal wants to know which one you own before he'll put a number on the stairs.
Safe & Gun-Safe Moving
Gun safes and floor safes don't come loose with a dolly and good intentions — Jamal's crew brings the straps and the plan first.
Questions that come up on this job
Answered before you have to ask twice
Do you provide the boxes and packing materials?
Yes, boxes, tape, and packing paper are included as part of our full and partial packing services.
Can I pack most of my apartment myself and just have you handle the fragile stuff?
Yes, partial packing is common. Tell Desiree what you want handled — usually glassware, electronics, and artwork — and price accordingly.
How far ahead should I book packing during finals week?
At least two to three weeks. This is our highest-demand packing period since students have the least free time to do it themselves.
Does packing cost extra on top of the move, or is it bundled?
It's quoted separately but can be bundled into one estimate with your move so you have a single total, not two invoices.
