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.
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, it's $50 to you. 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.”
Sarah K., Charlotte, NC
WHY UNDERGRADS
How we compare.
Traditional movers add stair fees, fuel surcharges, and tape charges. They send whoever's available. We do neither.

| Show-up reliability | $50 to you if 30 min late | No guarantee | Often cancel last-minute |
| Background checks | Every crew member | Varies by company | No vetting |
| Hidden fees | None. Ever. | Fuel, stairs, long carry | No insurance, no backup, IOUs |
| Availability | 7 days, same-week | Limited, book 2–4 weeks out | Often unavailable on weekends |

| Insurance | Licensed & insured | Usually yes | Your stuff, your risk |
From the field. 2,000+ moves
“The move that goes sideways isn't usually the biggest one, it's the one with a 4th-floor walkup and no freight elevator. If your building has 4+ floors, plan for extra time and make sure your crew knows in advance so they can plan the carry.”

What our customers say
“Undergrads are the best local movers in Charlotte! They were on time, professional, and took great care of our belongings. Their team made our local move so easy, we'd definitely use them again!”
Andrew G., Charlotte, NC
“These guys are awesome. Abdusalom, Christian, and Shane absolutely crushed our move-in, despite there being some pretty heavy items. Aside from being efficient and professional, they were nice young men. Would definitely recommend this team!”
Rhett B.
“Glad I called these guys. Reasonably priced, and Randall and Grant were both friendly and helpful and got the work done quickly. We will call you again!”

Common moving questions
Will the crew know how to handle my building?
Yes. Our crew is trained on COI requirements, freight-elevator scheduling, and tight stairwells. We move into Catalyst, The Vue, Camden, and every other major apartment building in our markets every week.
What if something gets damaged?
$1,000 damage protection on every move, no deductible. If a piece is damaged, we file the claim. You don't.
How does pricing work?
Flat rate locked before we start, no hourly surprises. We quote based on your move size, addresses, and date. No stair fees, no floor fees, no fuel surcharges.
Can you do same-day?
Yes, in most markets. Call (864) 256-1166 and we will check availability immediately. About half our customers come to us with same-day or next-day needs.
Are stairs extra?
No. The rate you are quoted is what you pay, regardless of stairs or floors.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Fully licensed and insured. Every move includes $1,000 in damage protection. Our movers are background-checked university students.
Is there a deposit?
$5 to reserve your crew, fully refundable up to 48 hours before. You pay after the move is done, not before.
Do you drive the truck?
Standard local moves are labor-only, you drive your own vehicle or rental. If you would rather not drive, ask about The Power Move at quote time. We book the truck for you and you only handle the drive between addresses.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards at the conclusion of your move. We do not accept cash or checks.

(864) 256-1166OUR STORY
We started in 2017 in Clemson, SC with a two-person crew and a simple idea: hire reliable college students and show up ready to work. Today we're headquartered in Charlotte, run more moves and crews in Charleston than anywhere else in South Carolina, and serve 21 cities across the Carolinas, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida. We cover moves within about 30 miles of each of our hubs, and if you're a little further out we can still help for a small travel fee.
