Your AI assistant can now price a move with Undergrads in seconds, without sharing your name, email or phone. If you like the number, it can ask our team to finish the quote. If you don't, nothing was sent.
Planning a move used to start with a search bar. More and more, it starts with a sentence typed into an assistant: "How much would it cost to get movers in Raleigh to load a truck on the 14th?"
That's a reasonable thing to ask. It's also where most moving company websites fall apart. To see a price, you usually have to hand over your name, email and phone number first, and then the calls start. An assistant trying to help you either gets stuck at that form or has to give away your details just to answer a simple question.
So we split the two apart. If you use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI assistant, it can now price your move with Undergrads without sharing anything about you. Then it asks you whether you want our team to get in touch. That second step only happens if you say yes.
How it works
Step 1: Price the move. No contact details.
Your assistant asks you four things:
- What kind of help you need: loading a truck or container, unloading one, both, or moving things around inside your home.
- How many large pieces of furniture: beds, couches, dressers, tables.
- About how many boxes. A ballpark is fine.
- Any heavy items, like a washer, dryer or refrigerator.
It sends those numbers to our estimator and gets back a price range, the crew size, the hours, and a short estimate reference. For example, loading and unloading 8 large pieces and 30 boxes comes back as $505 to $670: three movers for three to four hours at $168 an hour.
Add a ZIP code and it also tells you whether we serve your area. That's it. No name, no email, no phone number, nothing saved, and nothing sent to our team.
These are the same rates and the same math as the quote form on our site, so you get the same answer whether you ask your assistant or fill in the form yourself.
Step 2: Decide whether you want a quote.
An estimate is based on your item counts. Stairs, building rules, parking and timing can move the final price, which is why a person on our team confirms those details before anything is booked.
So after showing you the range, your assistant asks: do you want Undergrads to contact you to finish the quote, and by email or phone? If you say no, you're done. If you say yes, it sends your name, the contact method you picked, your ZIP and the estimate reference to our team.
Step 3: We take it from there.
A real person follows up the way you asked, with your estimate already in hand. They confirm we serve your area, go over the details, and turn the range into a quote. If it works for you, a $5 reservation holds your date. Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before the move, and you pay after the move is done.
The rules we gave the assistants
An assistant acting for you should be careful with your details. Our published instructions spell that out:
- Price first, ask before sharing. Estimates need nothing personal. Contact details are only sent after you say you want a follow-up, and the request has to confirm you gave permission.
- Ask, don't guess. Assistants are told to get the furniture and box counts from you and never make them up. A guessed number makes a wrong price.
- The assistant says who it is. A follow-up request marks whether it came from you or from an assistant, so our team knows who they're talking to.
- You pick email or phone. If you choose email, we don't need your phone number, and we won't call you.
- No duplicates. If a connection drops and the assistant tries again, the retry carries the same request ID, so you get one request even if it took three tries.
- Nothing gets booked or charged. Neither step reserves a crew, locks a price or touches a payment method.
- Honest about what we don't do. Ask the estimator about a piano or a gun safe and it says plainly that our crews don't move them, so your assistant can tell you before you plan around us.
What we built behind the scenes
For the curious, there are four pieces:
- 1A plain-language map of the site. Our llms.txt file tells AI tools who we are, where we work, how pricing works and where the estimator lives. That way an assistant can answer your first questions correctly before it does anything else.
- 2A page that works for people and assistants. The AI assistant estimates page has the estimator and the follow-up form one after the other, both simple enough for an assistant to fill in and for you to use yourself.
- 3An estimator any assistant can reach. The price estimate is a single web address with the details in it, so even assistants that can only open links, not fill in forms, can price a move.
- 4A published contract. Both steps are documented in an OpenAPI specification, the standard format developers and AI tools use to read an API. Every field, every rule and every error message is spelled out, with examples.
Why we didn't let assistants book directly
We could have let an assistant book a crew and charge a card in one go. We chose not to.
A move has details that matter: a third-floor walk-up, a building that needs a certificate of insurance, a couch that won't fit through the door without coming apart. A short conversation with our team catches those before move day, and that's how we keep our prices accurate and our crews on time. The assistant handles the legwork. You and our team handle the decisions.
It also means nothing happens behind your back. You can price a move as many times as you like without anyone knowing who you are. Your details reach us only when you ask them to, and you always talk to a person before anything is booked.
When to skip the assistant
If your move is tomorrow, call us at (864) 256-1166. Our team can confirm a last-minute crew faster on the phone than any form can, and we don't charge rush fees. And if you'd rather see a price and book in one place, our quote form gives you an instant estimate in about a minute.
The bottom line
Most moves with us run $200 to $350 for a two-person crew, and now you don't have to give up your phone number to find out where yours lands. Ask your assistant to price your move with Undergrads. If the number works, it can ask us to finish the quote. If it doesn't, nobody calls.
Price your move yourself or through your assistant, and when you're ready, a crew of background-checked college students will do the heavy lifting.
