Planning a small move?

Looking to move a small load long distance? Perhaps your move is not quite big enough for a conventional mover?

Maybe you’re looking to move a few boxes, a few pieces of furniture, or perhaps a small apartment? Well, look no further, Ship Smart can help; in fact, we specialize in small moves. Most moving companies are designed to handle large loads, typically 2,000 lbs. or more.

Well, not everyone needs to move a full truckload or a whole household of items. So why pay for something you just simply don’t need? Here at Ship Smart, we’ve been helping people with that exact situation for 20+ years! Our pricing is based on your actual inventory, so you only need to pay for what you’re moving!

What is a small move?

Small moves are any collection of goods that weigh under 2000 lbs. Loads that are more than 2000 lbs. are considered large moves. But the small moves are right up our alley.

Some examples of small moves:

  • Sending a few items to a friend or family member.
  • Moving a small office, store, or shop
  • Moving to a college or university.
  • Moving a few pieces of furniture and some boxes internationally.
  • Assisting your parents in moving to an assisted living facility.

Services we can provide.

We offer a variety of services and can tailor our pricing structure to your specific requirements, providing as much or as little assistance as you need.

Do you need help with on-site packing, or would you prefer to save money and pack your own boxes? Do you need a guaranteed delivery date? Then feel free to take advantage of our expedited service options. Or, if timing is not an issue, then you can sign up for our more cost-effective deferred service option instead. Need full service inside delivery at the destination, or would you prefer to cut the costs more? If the budget is on your mind, simply have the items dropped off to ground level at your residence or business, better known as our curbside service option.

Here at Ship Smart, the options are limitless, and we’re here to help you! Willing and able to offer you the services you need at a price that fits and works best with your budget.

Movers were in contact within 24 hours to pick up the art piece, was on its way from California to Wisconsin in the next week and arrived when scheduled. I was impressed with the way it was boxed. No chance it would be damaged. Delivery driver took care to remove it from the truck and placed it in my garage where I requested it. Very happy with the whole experience. Thank you to everyone involved.

I was hesitant to hire Ship Smart to move my household goods to Canada as there were some negative comments online. I spoke to the representative about these comments and he explained this happened when people didn't disclose the proper amount of goods originally. I tried to be very accurate with how much I was intending to ship. In the end, I was refunded the amount my estimate was in excess of the actual weight of my contents. I was so surprised to actually get money returned after the contents had been crated and wrapped at the warehouse. I was very impressed with the contact I had with all the individuals I had any interaction with. My move couldn't have been handled any better. Thank you Ship Smart. Great service.

My moving experience with Ship Smart was exceptional with the highest standard of professionalism. I did a significant amount of research and Ship Smart is the company I had complete trust in. Their website is organized and a true reflection of their company and services. Communications were timely and consistent. Everyone in the process was wonderful to work with. My items were thoughtfully packed and in perfect condition when they arrived. My move was peaceful, simple, stress free and a happy memory. They were the perfect moving company for my small cross country move.

Works well for moving smaller items. Be aware that the original quote is an estimate and that all of your items are weighed then your given your final price based on weight. You can get price per pound from them. Things were packed very well. Movers were great on both sides, no issues

Outstanding experience. Pickup team was on time, courteous and efficient. Carefully tagged each item. Lyndsi was very helpful and responsive especially as we didn't have a destination address to begin our move. The delivery came to us a few weeks later (NJ to CA) on the day scheduled and again move on team was very courteous and helpful putting each box in the designated room. Wow !

Ship Smart did a fantastic job for us! They shipped a small amount of items when my mom made a 1400 mile move. The person who picked up the items was helpful and quick and careful with all the items. The shipment was delivered as stated. The delivery driver went to extra lengths for drop the shipment off at a convenient location at our house. He was kind and helpful. The whole experience was great. I would use Ship Smart again!

I had to move some beautiful mid-century modern teak furniture from my parent’s home in Jersey to my home in Palm Springs CA. These were exceptional pieces in perfect condition. And they arrived cross country in exactly the same condition. I was so impressed at every level. From start to finish the service was flawless and the furniture arrived quicker than I expected. The cost was very reasonable. I was nervous because some of the pieces were unusually shaped. Absolutely no problems.
