Simple Moving Solutions For Senior Relocation

Moving can be stressful for seniors and their families. That’s why, at Ship Smart, we make everything as straightforward and hassle-free as possible.

Senior Moves

What Is a Senior Move?

A senior move occurs when individuals relocate from their homes, where they have been living independently, to an assisted living community, a nursing home, a retirement village, or the home of a family member or friend. Moving services for seniors should recognize that this is a stressful time, especially for those with health problems or memory issues. Many older adults use this time to downsize their possessions, particularly when relocating from a large family home, which can make the move more stressful.

How We Can Help With Your Senior Move

At Ship Smart, our expert movers can assist by packing all of your seniors’ belongings on-site. We can then arrange shipping to multiple addresses if, for example, you want to send some furniture or cherished items to family members. Once these small long-distance moves arrive at their destination, we unpack everything inside their new home and set up the furniture according to the customer’s requirements.

We use only the best packing materials, carefully selected for each item to prevent damage. Should any damage occur in transit, we offer full replacement insurance, covering your move from pickup to delivery.

Our Process

Our team at Ship Smart is here to handle every aspect of your senior move, from start to finish, with our carefully designed, comprehensive process.

  • Your Estimate. You can get an estimate anytime, 24/7, through our website for curbside delivery, our most economical service. However, should you require a more comprehensive service, our sales team can help. Contact them by phone, chat, or via the contact form on our website. Your representative will ensure you get the latest promotions and the best service tailored to your needs.
  • Pickup. Once you have your estimate, you can request the paperwork from our sales team, who can supply it either in writing or electronically. Once we receive the completed paperwork, we will call to arrange a convenient pickup time. At pickup, it’s up to you how much help you need. We can pick everything up at the curbside, or our expert packers can manage the whole process for you, using the best packing materials and expertise to protect your senior’s precious items.
  • Shipping. Ship Smart has multimillion-dollar accounts with some of America’s most prominent trucking lines, so we secure the best possible rates and discounts. Our shipments are a high priority with each carrier, and we have a dedicated representative to provide the best service and resolve potential issues.
  • Delivery. Once your senior’s items arrive at their destination, we can deliver them curbside for you to unpack. Alternatively, we can provide everything inside, unpack it, and set up the furniture exactly where your senior prefers. We guarantee your delivery date and can even offer short-term storage solutions at the destination.

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.

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!
