Relocation and warehouse move support in Tokyo: pack well, shelve fast
We handle the boxing, labelling, unpacking and re-shelving around your move. The truck and the driving stay with your carrier.
Before the move: decide what is going
Moving everything is the expensive default. We start by sorting items into go, stay and decide, using your categories, so you do not pay your carrier to move what you will throw out in a month. Items for the new site are grouped by destination room or shelf zone, which makes the unpacking step far faster. Decisions on what to keep remain yours.
Boxing and labelling that survives the trip
Each carton is packed by weight and by destination, with heavier items low, fragile items protected and no carton too heavy for one person to lift safely. Labels show the destination zone, a carton number and a short content note, in English, Japanese or both. We follow your own numbering if you have one. A carton list, kept by carton number, is handed over so that nothing is lost between sites.
What your carrier does, what we do
We do not drive, transport or operate vehicles, and we do not handle heavy furniture or machinery. Your carrier or moving company brings the truck and carries what needs a trolley or a crew. We prepare the load before, and we receive it afterwards. Keeping those roles separate is simpler for everyone and means each party is accountable for its own part.
After the move: unpack and shelve to a plan
On arrival, our team unpacks by zone, places items on shelves following the layout plan you provide or one we agree with you from photos, and removes empty cartons to a collection point you name. Labels on shelf edges go up as the shelves fill, so the new site works on day one. We do not install the shelving itself, and we do not do electrical or network setup.
A contracted task with a handover
This is task work under contract. You set the scope, the quantity and the date. Our supervisor leads the team at the old site and at the new one, and is accountable for the result at both ends. You do not give instructions to team members one by one. The price is fixed for the whole task or for each end separately, as you prefer, and is confirmed by message before the work.
Offices, small warehouses and shops
An office move is desks’ contents, archive, supplies and meeting-room items. A small warehouse move is bins, cartons and fixtures in a specific order. A shop relocation is stock, display items and backroom supplies, often to be ready by a reopening date. We adapt the sequence to the site and agree the order with you, so the things you need first are the first to be unpacked. For a shop or a warehouse with a reopening date, we work backwards from that date and tell you early if the plan looks too tight for the volume involved, so you can change the scope rather than miss the day.
Timing the two ends
The packing must finish before the carrier arrives, and the shelving must finish before the doors open. We plan backwards from your two dates. If the old and new sites are in different areas, travel cost is stated before you confirm. Requests are accepted at any hour, and a start before or after normal business time can be agreed by message within our agreed scope.
Fragile, valuable and sensitive items
Computers, servers, artwork, important documents and valuables are better packed by their owners or by specialist movers. We do not take responsibility for items that need specialist packing, and we tell you which parts of your list we recommend you arrange separately. For documents marked confidential, we pack the sealed boxes without opening them.
What goes into the fixed price
The price is based on the number of cartons or the volume of items, the number of locations at each end, the type of goods and access conditions such as stairs and lifts. Photos of the shelves, a rough list or a short site look are enough. Sorting, boxing, labelling, unpacking and shelving are quoted as one task unless you prefer two.
Settling in: the first morning at the new site
The first morning decides how a move feels. We prioritise what you need first, such as the reception, the meeting room, the tills or the pick shelves, so those areas are working before the rest is finished. Everything else follows in the order you give. At the end a short list shows which cartons are unpacked, which remain and where the empty cartons are. Anything that arrives damaged is photographed and noted for your claim with the carrier, not repaired by us.
Areas, language and putting things right
We serve Tokyo’s 23 wards, Chiba including Noda, Funabashi, Kashiwa and Yachiyo, Saitama including Kasukabe, Kanagawa, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma, and we work in English and Japanese. A photo report follows where useful. If something is not as agreed and you tell us within 24 hours, we put it right at no extra cost. The work is done with our operations partner, Global Access Co., Ltd.
