"Jose and his 2 man team from Rocket Services showed up yesterday right on time and after a through walk through with myself began to unload my two full Pods. Their respectful and efficient unloading of all of my personal items was something to behold and I was very pleased with the overall experience! I would highly recommend Rocket Services to my family and friends as my new moving resource for the Front Range from now on..."

"Jose and his crew did an amazing job. They were very professional and treated our items and home with respect. They loaded our pod efficiently and ensured all of our furniture was protected and would not move around during transit. I would highly recommend them for anyone's moving needs. We were grateful for their hard work and impressed with the professionalism they showed."

Which moving container brands can Rocket Services load?
Crews work with PODS, U-Box, U-Pack and Pack-Rat containers, and the same approach works for other portable containers. Share the brand and container count when you book so the crew knows the door style and how much space there is.
How much does it cost to hire help loading a moving container?
Two Rocket Services helpers start at $149/hr with a 2-hour minimum, and a third helper brings the rate to $199/hr. Mileage is $1 per round-trip mile from the Aurora base, charged from the first mile. A bigger crew finishes a full container sooner.
Can helpers load a fridge, washer and dryer into a moving container?
Yes. Thi Kim D. in Aurora had a pod packed to maximize space, fridge, washer and dryer included. Empty, defrost and dry the fridge and drain the washer hoses a day ahead. The crew does not disconnect or hook up appliances, so have that done before loading day.
Should I load a container myself or hire helpers?
If you have mostly boxes and light furniture, you might manage alone. Heavy dressers, appliances and sofas are where injuries and damage happen, and a tight load takes practice. Many people book the quick 2-hour option for just the heavy pieces and load boxes themselves.
