How it works at Nomad

Long-distance shipments get handled more than local ones, so packing quality matters more. Our packers use double-walled dish packs, cell kits for glassware, TV cartons and custom crates for marble and art.

Choose full packing, kitchen and fragile-only, or a hybrid where you pack books and linens and we handle the rest. At delivery, the unpacking crew empties boxes onto counters and shelves and takes every carton and scrap of paper away.

What's included

  • All boxes, paper, bubble wrap and tape
  • Dish packs and glassware cell kits
  • Flat-screen TV and mirror cartons
  • Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
  • Color-coded room labels and inventory sheet
  • Unpacking and carton removal at delivery

Yes. Owner-packed boxes are fine, but damage coverage applies only to boxes our crew packs or inspects.

Hazardous materials, propane, paint, ammunition, plants and irreplaceable documents should travel with you.

A kitchen takes three to four hours. Whole-home unpacking for three bedrooms is usually one day.
