 まず、依頼者からの連絡を受けて担当 者が家庭などを訪問したり、インターネットや電話を通して料金の見積もりを行う。仕事の依頼を受けた場合には、引越作業員がチームを組んで、指定された日時に家具などを保護するための資材を用意して訪問する。手分けして、ダンボール箱に詰めた荷物などのほか、たんすやベッドなどの家財道具、テレビや冷蔵庫などの荷造りをして、トラックやコンテナ車に積み込む。衣類や食器などの日用品の梱包をするケースもある。
 引越し先では、トラックから荷物を降ろして家の中に運び込み、荷解きをして所定の場所に家具や電化製品を設置する。また、ダンボール箱の中の日用品などを取り出し、梱包を解いてたんすや棚の中に収めたり、クーラーや照明器具の取り付け、テレビのセッティングなどをする場合もある。建物や家財に傷をつけないように、荷物を破損させないように慎重に作業を進め、最後には、梱包に使用したダンボール箱などの資材を片づけて、持ち帰る。
