College living is life pared-down and simplified. There isn't enough room to fit in all the material possessions that you would be able to move into a larger place. Plus, odds are that you haven't accumulated that much stuff in your lifetime anyway. Wait until you settle down to have a bunch of stuff; for now, you can use small movers to make your apartment or dorm move simpler. |

Why Use Small Movers? If the total weight of your move is under 1500 or 2000 pounds (depending on the company) it might be considered a small move. Most standard moving companies will have a minimum charge for all shipments. Even if your total weight is under 1500 or 2000 (about a room-and-a-half's worth of stuff), you will still pay as though it isn't. Small movers specialize in these kinds of shipments, and using one will save you money.
Apartment and dorm moves are ideal for small movers because they will have plenty of experience handling them. Navigating the staircases, parking constraints, and elevators involved in a college move is second nature to them. You'll also get the same service you would get from any moving professional: all of your stuff will be in very good hands.
What Will It Look Like? Small movers can pack, load, ship, unload, and unpack your stuff. Or they could do any combination of these. Those decisions are up to you based on your need and what you can afford. You'll likely be charged by the weight of your shipment, with other factors like man-hours involved as well. Once you have set aside what you are bringing, small movers can pack and load everything so that it won't get damaged during the trip. Any furniture you are bringing will be properly wrapped and loaded with your boxes into a large van or small truck.

Did You Know?
A small move could just be one item. If you have a piano or some other piece of furniture that you don't want to handle yourself, you can hire a small mover to take care of that while you take care of the rest. This is a great way to save money and still keep your stuff protected. |
Keep in mind that, by hiring small movers, you'll have all the manpower you'll need once it comes time to move into your new place. No one wants to be stuck moving their stuff in alone, especially since there are often time constraints on move-in day at dormitories. If you can't get enough people to help you when it comes time to move in for school, small movers can be there to make sure the semester gets started off right.
There are any number of reasons to use small movers for a college move. After all, you're probably looking to save money already! Fortunately, you won't sacrifice quality for affordability when you work with professional small movers. Good luck trying to make finding all your classes this simple!
