APARTMENT MOVING
Apartment movers who specialize in stairs, elevators, and tight hallways.
Background-checked crew briefed on freight-elevator timing, flat rate locked before we start, and labor-only pricing that runs a fraction of full-service movers.
How we work: We're a labor-only moving company. You rent the truck. We handle every box, every stair, every elevator run. We bring furniture wrap and straps. No truck markup.

How it works
Simple, transparent process from start to finish
Tell us your building
Let us know your building name and floor. We'll confirm COI requirements, elevator reservation needs, and move-hour windows so there are no surprises.
Lock in for $5
Reserve your crew for $5 — fully refundable up to 48 hours before. We email your COI to building management upon request.
Crew arrives elevator-ready
We show up at your reserved elevator window, load everything, and unload at your new place. You direct. We execute.
THE SHOW-UP GUARANTEE
The move always happens.
If we're late, you get $50. If something falls through, we find a replacement crew. In 40,000+ moves, the job has always gotten done.

The Show-Up Guarantee.
How it works.
Every moving company says they'll show up. We're the only ones confident enough to put $50 behind it — on every booking, without being asked. 40,000+ moves since 2017. Our show rate speaks for itself.
You book a time window
You pick the date and arrival window when you schedule. We confirm your crew assignment the night before.
We put $50 behind every move
We're that confident. If a mover arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled start, $50 comes off your bill. No forms, no asking.
The move always happens
Confirmed within 24 hours of booking. Once you're on our schedule, we are getting you moved. If something comes up, you hear from us first.
40,000+ moves.
“They arrived 10 minutes early, introduced themselves by name, and asked where to start. I've never had a moving crew do that.”

WHY UNDERGRADS
How we compare.
Traditional movers add stair fees, fuel surcharges, and tape charges. They send whoever's available. We do neither.

From the field. 2,000+ moves
“The COI is the most common apartment move delay. Some buildings require it 48–72 hours in advance. When you book with us, we email your COI to management upon request. We just need the building's property management email. Don't wait until move day to ask.”

The honest answers
Questions customers ask before they book
Q:My building requires a Certificate of Insurance, do you provide that?
Yes. We email your COI directly to building management when you book. You don't fill out a form, you don't call anyone. We handle it.
Q:Can you work within elevator reservation windows?
Yes. Reserve your freight elevator window with your leasing office, give us the time, and we schedule your crew to arrive 15 minutes early. We've worked inside elevator windows at hundreds of buildings.
Q:Will my hallways and elevator get damaged?
We wrap all furniture before it leaves the apartment. Your building's lobby and elevator pads stay clean. This is standard for us, not an upsell.
Common questions
Do I need a COI to move into my apartment?
Most luxury and high-rise apartments require one. When you book with Undergrads, we provide your COI upon request. We email it to your building management directly.
Can you work within an elevator reservation window?
Yes. Book your freight elevator with the leasing office, tell us your window, and we schedule the crew to arrive 15 minutes before it opens. We've worked within hundreds of elevator windows across our markets.
Do you guys not do a truck service?
Correct. We're labor-only. You rent the truck. We handle every box, every piece of furniture, every run up and down the elevator. No truck markup means you pay significantly less.
Are stairs extra?
No. No stair fees, no floor fees. Even if you're on the 4th floor with no elevator, the rate is the same.
Can you do same-day?
Yes, in most markets. Call (864) 256-1166. We'll check crew availability immediately.
What does your damage protection cover?
$1,000 per move. If something gets damaged during loading, transit, or unloading, we handle the claim. Our crew wraps furniture before it leaves your apartment. This rarely comes up.
