TV & Electronics Packing in Richmond, CA

Why TV Boxes Beat Moving Blankets

A moving blanket is soft padding. It stops surface scratches. It does not stop impact.

When a blanket-wrapped TV sits between a dresser and a stack of boxes, one hard brake on I-880 pushes everything forward. The blanket compresses to nothing. The dresser edge hits the screen. A 65-inch OLED costs $1,500 to $3,000 to replace, and screen damage is never repairable.

A proper TV box is structural protection. Ours are double-wall corrugated with a telescoping design. Two halves slide together for a snug fit at any screen size from 32 to 75+ inches. Foam corner protectors lock onto all four corners and distribute impact across the frame, not the screen. This helps keep the TV from shifting, flexing, or contacting other items.

Every booked move with JH Moving includes up to 2 TV boxes with foam corners for use during the move. Most households have 1 to 2 TVs, so this covers the majority of moves at no extra cost. If you need additional TV boxes, specialty electronics boxes, or full electronics packing, those are part of our paid packing service and quoted upfront as part of your estimate.

What We Pack Beyond TVs

TVs are the highest-risk item, but they are not the only electronics that need proper protection.

We pack computer monitors. Dual-monitor home office setups are common in Oakland and Berkeley, and each monitor gets its own box with foam corners. We pack gaming consoles in padded boxes with cables labeled and bagged separately. We pack soundbars, receivers, and AV equipment so home theater systems arrive ready to reconnect. These go beyond the 2 TV boxes included with a booked move, so the boxes and materials for this work are part of our packing service and quoted upfront.

Cables get labeled at the source before we unplug anything. Every cord and wire goes into a labeled bag tied to the device it belongs to. No tracing cables behind the TV stand on your first night.

How TV & Electronics Packing Works

1. Get your free estimate. Call (510) 495-1884 or request a quote at /free-estimate. Tell us how many screens and what sizes. We bring the right boxes, and any materials beyond the 2 TV boxes included with your booked move are quoted upfront.

2. We pack everything on-site. Our crew removes wall-mounted TVs carefully, labels and bags all cables, wraps each screen in foam corners, and seals it in a telescoping TV box. Monitors, consoles, and sound systems get individually boxed. Every box is marked "FRAGILE, THIS SIDE UP."

3. Your electronics ride safe. Each boxed TV is loaded upright and secured in the truck so it stays in place during transport. On arrival, we place each box where you want it and can reconnect wall mounts if needed.

TV & Electronics Packing Across the Bay Area

In Oakland, we pack for apartments and lofts where wall-mounted TVs need careful removal before boxing. Narrow hallways and tight elevator doors mean every inch of protection matters. The road vibration on I-880 is exactly why blankets alone fail.

In Berkeley, we handle moves for students and researchers with multi-monitor setups and gaming rigs. Hills homes have tight staircase turns where a 55-inch TV barely clears the doorframe. Foam corners absorb the contact that would otherwise risk cracking a screen.

In San Francisco, walk-up apartments mean every TV gets carried by hand down steep stairwells. Building move-out windows are strict, and there is no time to deal with a damaged screen.

From our home base in Richmond, we stock all four TV box sizes and can often get boxes to you the same day when the schedule allows. Every booked Richmond move includes up to 2 TV boxes with foam corners for use during the move. Additional boxes or full electronics packing are part of our packing service and quoted upfront.

Wherever you are in the Bay Area, we use proven packing methods and careful handling to give your screens the best chance of a safe arrival. Check out our full packing services or explore our moving services to plan your move.
