Get Free Moving Quotes
If you're making a move to temporary corporate housing, you probably face a dilemma: you're not moving all your stuff, but you're moving enough of it that it'd be a hassle to move it yourself, and it's not quite enough to interest full-service moving companies. Please choose any of the services below to get a quick quote for your upcoming move.
Moving companies: A moving company might be interested in your move, but if it's a small load, you'll likely pay a minimum amount that might be more than your budget allows. That's because moving companies face many of the same fixed costs whether it's a large or a small move, so they charge a minimum to recoup their costs.
However, you should still request moving quotes, because you might be able to find a moving company that is already hauling a shipment to where you're moving, so you might get a good deal if you're able to 'piggyback' on that load.
If you do go with a moving company, make sure they come to see exactly what you need to have moved so you can get accurate moving quotes.
Small movers: There are companies, such as Mini-Moves or Apartment Movers, that specialize in small moves. Check out any of these companies in your area.
Parcel Services: Check out UPS or FedEx; if you're only moving a few items, this can be the most economical and convenient option. Another option is Navis Pack & Ship, which specializes in hard-to-ship items.
Mobile storage: This is becoming a more convenient option for people. It can operate in one of two ways.
In the first, the mobile storage company brings a storage unit to your home, you pack it, and they pick it up and either store it until you need it, or delivery it to your new home. In the second option, you pack the storage unit at the company's facility. This is generally for smaller shipments. Just a couple of the companies offering these services are PODs and ABF U-Pack.
Self-service moving: Another option is self-service moving. In this option, you pack and load your belongings into a moving truck, but a professional driver hauls the items to your new home. You then unload it. This is often cheaper than a moving company. Companies offering this service include ABF and Broadway Express.
