Furniture Shipping in Aptos, From the Town We Call Home

Ship Smart is headquartered at 783 Rio Del Mar Blvd in Aptos, so furniture shipping in Aptos means working in our own backyard. As a furniture shipping company based here, we handle shipping furniture to Aptos as well as out of it. Since 1999 we have handled small moves for people who need a few pieces to travel far, not a full moving van at the curb.

A typical job is a sofa, a dresser and some boxes, or the contents of a one-bedroom. Our packing and shipping service in Aptos is built for that: every estimate includes white glove pickup from the first floor of your home or business, and professional packing is included, with custom crating for antiques, grandfather clocks, art and glass. The load then rides on a shared LTL truck, and the bill follows packed weight and the space used. There is no minimum, so a single armchair is a fair job.

Shipments go to all 50 states, across Canada and to most international destinations. Start with the online estimator, or call (866) 333-8018 and describe what you are sending.

Small Moves From Aptos and the Rest of Santa Cruz County

Plenty of searches for Aptos movers come from people with too little to fill a truck. A beach house inherited from a parent gets cleared out, a retiree sends the good dining set to a grandchild, or someone keeps a second home here and ships part of it inland. Those are the shipments we built the company around.

Towns and Neighborhoods We Pick Up From

  • Aptos: Rio Del Mar, Seascape, Seacliff, Aptos Village and the Aptos Hills
  • Along the coast: La Selva Beach, Capitola and Soquel
  • North: Santa Cruz, Live Oak and Scotts Valley
  • South: Watsonville and Freedom

Cabrillo College sits in Aptos. Students there can send a desk, a bike and a stack of boxes home when the term ends.

Access at Coastal and Hillside Homes

Houses on Beach Drive sit below the bluff on a narrow road with little room to stop a large truck. Up in the Aptos Hills, many homes are reached by a long, steep driveway or a private road. Tell us about the turn-in, the grade and any stairs when you book, so the pickup can be planned around them.

Seascape and several Rio Del Mar developments are HOA communities, and some have gates or rules on move hours. Ask your HOA or property manager what they require before the pickup date, and pass along any gate code.

When to Schedule Around Here

Summer weekends bring beach traffic and full parking near Seacliff and Rio Del Mar, so a weekday pickup is usually easier. The rainy season runs roughly November through March. If your pickup falls in a wet week, clearing a garage or covered porch to stage the pieces helps keep them dry while they are packed.

So Why Pay For Something You Are Not Moving/Shipping?

Ship Smart specializes in small moves shipping out of state. Most moving companies are designed to handle large loads, typically 2000 lbs. and above, but not everyone needs to move a full truckload or a whole household of items.

So why pay for something you are not shipping? Here at Ship Smart you only pay for what you’re moving!

At Ship Smart, we’re committed to making your move simple, stress-free, and affordable. That’s why we partnered with Enhancify to provide flexible financing options. Now is the perfect time to take the next step.

Aptos Furniture Shipping Questions

1. What does it cost to ship furniture from Aptos?

Arrow Down

Across our published routes, a few furniture pieces plus boxes (about 500 lbs) has run $600 to $1,650, and a one-bedroom of about 1,500 lbs $1,200 to $3,150. Distance, packed weight and the delivery option you pick move your number inside that range. The estimator gives the exact price.

2. How is my furniture protected on the way?

Arrow Down

Every piece is packed by our crew before it leaves your home, and the most fragile or valuable items can be custom crated. Basic valuation coverage is included with every shipment, and you can add more coverage if the pieces are worth more. Our damage rate stays below 2%.

3. How far ahead should I book a pickup?

Arrow Down

Plan on 2 to 10 business days between booking and pickup. A pickup in the same week can often be arranged, though it may cost more. If you have a fixed closing or lease-end date, book about 10 days out.

4. Do you ship furniture to Aptos as well as out of it?

Arrow Down

Yes. Pieces bought elsewhere, or a household moving into Santa Cruz County, can come in as LTL freight. On arrival you can collect from the terminal (Will-Call, the lowest cost), take Curbside Delivery to the closest point a truck can reach, or choose Full Service, where the crew carries everything inside.

5. How do I know Ship Smart is a legitimate company?

Arrow Down

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.

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!
