SMALL MOVES
One item or a full studio. No minimums padded into your quote.
Quoted by the job. Same-day available. Background-checked crew, flat rate locked upfront.
How we work: We're a labor-only moving company. For small moves, you often don't even need a full truck. A cargo van or large SUV can work. We'll tell you exactly what vehicle size makes sense.

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

The honest answers
Questions customers ask before they book
Q:Is there a minimum? I only have a few items.
There is a minimum crew size; submit a quote or call (864) 256-1166 and we'll tell you exactly what it is for your market. For most small moves, the math still works out better than renting a full truck and doing it yourself.
Q:Will it be worth it for just a couch and a dresser?
That depends on your back and your Saturday. Two background-checked people carry your couch down three flights and up four. Most people say yes.
Q:Can you do same-day?
Yes. Small moves are our most same-day-friendly service. Call (864) 256-1166 and we'll usually have an answer within an hour.
Common questions
Is there a minimum?
Yes. There's a minimum crew size. Submit a quote or call (864) 256-1166 for your market's minimum. For most small moves, you'll still pay less than renting a truck and doing it yourself.
Can you move just one piece of furniture?
Yes. We move single items, couches, dressers, beds, dining tables. Call us first to confirm it makes sense for your situation.
Can you do same-day?
Yes. Small moves are our easiest same-day service. Call (864) 256-1166. We can usually confirm crew in under an hour.
Do you bring a truck?
No. We're labor-only. For very small moves (a few items), a large SUV or minivan works. For studio moves, a cargo van is usually enough. We'll tell you what to rent when you quote.
Do you move to storage units?
Yes. We move to and from any storage facility, just include the address in your quote.
