Why Traditional Movers Don't Work for Small Philadelphia Shipments

Here's a scenario Philadelphia residents know too well: You need to move a few furniture pieces from your apartment or send items to family out of state. You call moving companies, but they all have the same response: "Our minimum is $2,500" or "We don't do shipments that small."

This is exactly the problem Ship Smart solves. We specialize in small moves that traditional movers reject. No minimums. No inflated pricing for small shipments. Just straightforward pricing based on actual weight and space.

Perfect for:

  • Shipping 1-10 furniture pieces
  • Moving out of small city apartments or row homes
  • Estate sale and antique shop purchases
  • College students furnishing apartments
  • Downsizing from larger suburban homes
  • Sending family heirlooms to relatives nationwide
  • Marketplace purchases needing transport

No Minimum Charges: You pay only for your actual weight and space—not arbitrary minimums. Our customers typically save 50-70% compared to traditional mover quotes.

Row Home and Narrow Street Experts: Philadelphia's unique architecture presents challenges. We have extensive experience navigating narrow row homes, tight staircases, and historic properties requiring extra care.

Professional Packing and Crating: Expert packing techniques protect your furniture during transport. We offer custom crating for antiques, grandfather clocks, artwork, and other valuable items.
