★ Customer Stories From Across OKC ★
"High Quality Moving for the cost. I'm a military servicemember who had a short weekend to get my moving done, and their moving company brought me peace of mind. They worked with my schedule on the Labor Day weekend. They were very kind, courteous, with excellent customer service. I would use their services again in the future." - Omar Martinez
"High Quality Moving LLC is exactly what the name says, high quality, the guys that moved me were very professional and so polite. They arrived on time and got the job done quick. They were very gentle with my belongings, knowing exactly how to maneuver in tight spaces. I would recommend them to anyone that’s looking for a hassle free moving experience, it was super easy to set up the appointment with a reasonable price. 10/10."
- Tiara Varner
"Derrick & Jaquez, along with Cameron, the owner, were all we could have asked for - very conscientious & took great care with our furniture, as well as protecting door facings they were moving furniture through. We have a lot of antiques & really bulky items. They worked steadily & hard the whole time & everything arrived in perfect condition."

Do you really use as much packing paper as needed?
YES! We never skimp. Broken items cost more than paper ever will. We pack it right.
Can I watch you pack?
Of course! Some customers like to supervise, others leave us to work. Your choice.
What if I want to pack some rooms myself?
Perfect! Partial packing is very popular. You pack easy rooms, we pack hard rooms (kitchen).
Do you label every single box?
Yes! Room, contents, who packed it, fragile markings if needed. You'll know exactly what's in each box.

Yes! Kitchen-only packing is a common request. Usually 2-4 hours.

Our Advanced Labeling System
How We Label Every Box
Every Box Gets:
1. Room
- "Kitchen"
- "Master Bedroom"
- "Living Room"
- "Garage"
- Where it goes in new home
2. Who Packed It
- "HQM" (we packed) or "CP" (customer packed)
- Why This Matters:
- HQM packed and something breaks = our responsibility
- CP (customer packed) and something breaks = not our responsibility
- Clear accountability
3. Contents Description
- "Dishes & Glassware"
- "Clothes & Shoes"
- "Books"
- "Pots & Pans"
- Helps you find items quickly
- Unpackers know what's inside
4. FRAGILE (If Applicable)
- Big, clear "FRAGILE" marking
- Multiple sides of box
- Alerts entire crew to handle carefully
- Can't miss it!
Our Packing Process: Room by Room
Why Room-by-Room Works:
- Keeps items organized
- Easy to track progress
- Logical for unpacking
- Nothing gets lost or mixed up
- One room completed before moving to next
Typical Order:
1. Bedrooms First (easy, gets us warmed up)
2. Living/Family Rooms (moderate difficulty)
3. Home Office (organization matters)
4. Bathrooms (quick, easy)
5. Kitchen LAST
(most time-consuming, stays functional longest)
Why Kitchen Last:
- You can use kitchen until day before move
- Most complex room to pack
- Gives you meals up until packing day
- Final room = least disruption
When to Hire Professional Packing
You Should Hire Packers If:
✓ You hate packing (most people do!)
✓ You don't have 2-3 weeks to pack gradually
✓ You have a demanding job
✓ You have young children (hard to pack with kids!)
✓ You're moving long-distance (needs proper packing)
✓ You have expensive or fragile items
✓ You're elderly or have physical limitations
✓ You're overwhelmed by the thought of packing
✓ You've never moved before
✓ You value your time highly
✓ You want everything to arrive safely
You Can Pack Yourself If:
✓ You're on a very tight budget
✓ You have 2-4 weeks to pack gradually
✓ You have minimal belongings
✓ You enjoy organizing
✓ You're moving locally (less risk)
✓ You have no fragile/valuable items
✓ You have help (family/friends)
Compromise: Partial packing! We pack the hard stuff (kitchen), you pack the easy stuff (clothes).
DIY Packing vs. Professional Packing
**DIY Packing:**
- **Cost:** Just boxes and materials
- **Time:** 2-4 weeks of your evenings/weekends
- **Result:** Varies (depends on your skill)
- **Risk:** Breakage higher without experience
- **Stress:** High (it's overwhelming!)
**Professional Packing:**
- **Cost:** Hourly labor + boxes
- **Time:** 1-2 days (we're fast!)
- **Result:** Professional packing job
- **Risk:** Breakage MUCH lower (we're experienced)
- **Stress:** Zero (we handle it!)
**The Trade-Off:** Money vs. time and stress. For many people, professional packing is worth every penny.
