What Are Mini Moves?

Not Every Move Needs a Full Truck

Mini moves are for small loads that don’t justify a full move. A studio apartment. A single bedroom’s worth of furniture. A partial move where you’re only taking some things. When you’d feel silly booking a full 3-crew truck for what fits in half a truck.

We charge by time and distance, so a mini move costs proportionally less than a full move. Right-sized crew (usually 2 movers), right-sized truck, no fuel or booking fees. Most mini moves complete in 2-4 hours, and we can often schedule same-day on weekdays.

Questions

Mini Moves FAQ

The most common questions about small-load and mini moves.

What size move counts as a "mini" move?

Typically anything up to a studio apartment or single room’s worth of furniture. Studio moves, single-bedroom moves, partial moves where you’re only taking some things, or ~5-15 boxes plus a few furniture pieces. If you\’re unsure, call and describe what you have - we\’ll tell you if mini or full move suits better.

How much does a mini move cost?

Mini moves are billed by time and distance - typically 2-4 hours of work plus mileage. No minimum charge, no booking fee, no fuel surcharge. Fill our 60-second form or call for a personalized quote.

How long does a mini move take?

Studio apartment 2-3 hours. Single-room move 1-2 hours. Partial household (some rooms only) 3-4 hours. Add ~30 minutes for stairs, longer distances, or heavy furniture. We give a realistic time estimate with your quote.

Can you do a mini move same-day?

Yes on weekdays, usually. With 3-4 hours notice we can typically dispatch same-day for mini moves within 30 miles. Weekends and end-of-month are busier - 4-6 hours safer.

Is a mini move cheaper than a regular move?

Yes - proportionally. Because we send a smaller crew (usually 2) with a mid-sized truck for shorter time (2-4 hours), the total cost is significantly less than a full move. No wasted crew capacity on your dime.

Do you provide packing materials for mini moves?

Moving blankets, shrink wrap, and floor runners are included at no extra charge. Boxes, tape, and bubble wrap can be added if you\’d like us to pack for you. For mini moves people often pack themselves and just book the transport - fine either way.

What if my move turns out to be bigger than I thought?

We assess on arrival. If it\’s bigger than a mini move, we\’ll let you know upfront and either extend the time (billed transparently) or reschedule for a bigger crew/truck if needed. No surprises on the invoice.
