Professional packing services
Colonial Van Lines has been in the moving industry for many years and has gained expertise in ensuring your belongings remain safe and secure during long-distance moves. They offer three distinct packing options for their customers:
📦Single-item packing
The single-item packing option is perfect for fragile items such as pianos and entertainment stands that can be difficult to pack.
📦Kitchen packing
The kitchen packing option ensures that all homeware items, including glassware, silverware, and pots and pans, are packed carefully for safe shipping.
📦Full-pack option
Finally, the full-pack option is the most comprehensive option and takes care of every aspect of packing for you, from disassembling and reassembling basic furniture to packing each box.
Wide range of storage options
For those who are dealing with a complicated long-distance move, temporary storage may be necessary while figuring out the logistics.
Colonial provides flexible storage solutions, including full-service storage, storage in transit, and commercial storage, to ensure your belongings are taken care of until you’re ready to move them to their final destination.
📦Full-service storage
In case you need to store your belongings for an extended period, such as when relocating internationally, Colonial Van Lines provides a range of storage options.
Colonial will transport your possessions to a secure storage facility for short or long-term storage, and their team of movers will handle the loading and unloading of your items.
📦Storage in transit
Colonial provides a convenient short-term storage solution that offers a secure location for your belongings during the gap between moving out of your old space and into your new one.
This flexible storage option lets you keep your items safe until you can move them into your new home.
