Packing and unpacking any of them will do it for a fee. In terms of major long distance movers, they have several crews, some are better than others. Packing and unpacking. They do not take the people who pack with them from NY to Florida. As far as unpacking, not sure what they will or can do. Stuff like glassware. Will they unwrap it? Put it away? Would you want them, expect them, to do that?
Packing wasn't so much more expensive than our last move (to storage when would be gone for a year). The house sold in a couple of hours for the right price, and we wanted to accommodate the buyers, who wanted to have possession before returning to NY. Couldn't pack ourselves in just a couple of weeks.

Unpacking I preferred to do myself--er, ourselves.
