COLLEGE MOVING

Student movers who understand your timeline, not a 9-to-5 schedule.

Dorm move-ins, off-campus apartments, summer storage runs. 7-day availability. Lock in your date for $5, pay after.

How we work: We're a labor-only moving company. You rent the truck or a cargo van, we handle the loading and unloading. For dorm moves where distances are short, a cargo van is usually enough and costs a lot less than a full-size truck.

How it works

Simple, transparent process from start to finish

1

Tell us about your move

Dorm, off-campus, or storage run? We'll quote the right crew size and recommend the right vehicle. Usually a cargo van or 10-ft truck for most student moves.

2

Lock in for $5

Reserve your date for $5. Fully refundable up to 48 hours before. Pay after the move. We can hold move-in day slots weeks in advance during peak season.

3

Crew works your window

We arrive within your dorm check-in window or move-out deadline. Fast, efficient. We know move-in day chaos.

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 UNDERGRADS DIFFERENCE

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.

01

You book a time window

You pick the date and arrival window when you schedule. We confirm your crew assignment the night before.

02

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.

03

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.

“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 move that surprises students most: move-out day. You think it's 2 hours. It's 3.5 because of elevator lines, parking, and the stuff that somehow multiplied over the year. Book your crew for a little extra buffer. You pay for what you use.

The honest answers

Questions customers ask before they book

Q:Is this going to be too expensive?

Student moves are usually on the faster end, smaller load, shorter distance. Submit a quote and you'll see your exact number in 60 seconds. No obligation.

Q:Can you work within our dorm move-in window?

Yes. Tell us your check-in window and we'll schedule your crew to arrive right at the start. We've done hundreds of dorm move-ins and know how the day runs.

Q:Are these really college students?

Yes. Background-checked Undergrads movers. They move for Undergrads between classes, not random strangers.

Common questions

Do you bring a truck?

No. We're labor-only. You rent a vehicle. For most dorm moves, a cargo van is plenty. We'll tell you the right size when you quote.

Can you do same-day?

Yes, in most markets. Call (864) 256-1166 and we'll check availability. During peak move-in season (August, May), book at least a week in advance.

Are stairs extra?

No. No stair fees, no floor fees. If you're on the 5th floor of a dorm with no elevator, the rate is the same.

Is there a deposit?

$5 to reserve — fully refundable up to 48 hours before. You pay after the move, not before.

Do you do storage unit moves?

Yes. We move to and from any storage facility. Just add it to your quote. It's the same crew, same rate, no separate booking needed.
