Sofas, beds, dressers, tables, desks, bookshelves — anything a mover picks up as one piece.

What counts as one piece?
  • Count as 1: a sofa (even a sectional), a bed frame, a mattress, a dresser, a dining table, a desk, a bookshelf, a TV stand, a coffee table.
  • Count each separately: chairs, nightstands, lamps, mirrors (if detached), office chairs.
  • Don’t count here: boxes (use the next slider), washer/dryer/piano/safe (use "Bulk items" below).
  • Tip: if you’re not sure, round up — it’s better to over-estimate than under-book.
0 Light (3-5) Average (10-15) Heavy (20+) 60
0 Few (5-10) Moderate (15-25) Lots (30+) 60

What is included in a labor-only move?

A labor-only move includes professional movers who handle loading, unloading, and transporting your furniture, boxes, and bulk items. No truck is included — you provide the vehicle or rent one separately.

What neighborhoods and nearby towns in Tampa do you serve?

We serve customers in Tampa proper, as well as St. Petersburg, Town ‘N’ Country, Clearwater, and other inner-ring suburbs. If you’re in Bradenton or Ruskin, we can’t serve you (yet).

How does Undergrads compare to other Tampa movers?

Undergrads averages approximately $62/hour per mover, compared to other moving companies who charge $81-100/hour per mover. Full-service movers charge roughly 33% more on top of that. This means typical savings of $100-500+ depending on move size and service type.

My movers just bailed — what can I do?

Call us! We excel at last-minute Tampa moves. Undergrads regularly handles same-day and next-day bookings when another company cancels or no-shows, and we can often dispatch a crew within hours depending on availability. We’ll confirm crew size and arrival window over the phone so you know exactly what to expect before we’re on the way.

What about weather and Tampa traffic?

Both weather and Tampa traffic can add complexity to moving in Tampa. Tampa traffic can be a hassle (especially across the bridges and on I-275), Tampa summers are hot and humid with pop-up afternoon storms, and hurricane season runs June through November. Learn more about moving in Tampa to see what you can do to overcome these factors.
