★★★★★
"This team was super helpful even before they started. They answered their email to answer questions we had. They communicated well, hit their arrival time, finished before the allotted time (giving us a small credit) and were super efficient at packing our stuff into a POD. They worked hard to be kind to our belongings and our property. Would 100% work with them again."

How much does it cost to pack a dorm room for the summer in Colorado?
Rocket Services dorm packing is $99/hr for one packer or $129/hr for two, with a 2-hour minimum. Most dorm rooms are a short job. You rent the storage unit or truck, and the crew can load it for you at hourly helper rates. Mileage is $1 per round-trip mile from Aurora.
Can parents book dorm packing for a student from out of town?
Yes. A parent can request the quote, choose the service and pay, while the student is on site to point out what goes. The student or a representative should be present to confirm details. Crew arrival comes in a 2-hour window, and the team leader calls with an ETA on the day.
What should students not pack in boxes going into a storage unit?
Keep laptops, IDs, passports, cash, prescription medicine and important documents with you, since these are not covered. The crew does not pack hazardous materials, flammables or unsealed liquids, so toss open cleaning supplies and aerosols. Empty and dry mini fridges so they do not leak or smell over the summer.
Do I need my own boxes for dorm packing?
You can bring your own boxes, or add supplies to the job: small boxes are $3.99, medium $4.25 and packing tape $9.95. Share how many boxes you think you need when you book so the crew comes ready.
