No Minimum Size, No Maximum Distance | We Help You Move Small Loads Without The Need For A Full Truck

From a Montrose apartment to a family home in Katy or The Woodlands, Houston is spread out, and so are the reasons people make small moves: energy-sector transfers, medical residents finishing at the Texas Medical Center, students leaving Rice or the University of Houston, and families downsizing. Ship Smart moves those loads long distance, from 150 to 2,000 lbs, with no full-truck minimum. We pick up across Greater Houston, including Sugar Land, Pearland, and Pasadena, and can pack, crate, and deliver door to door.

Arrow Down

We are experts in moving small shipments over 300 miles. Unlike conventional movers who blanket-wrap furniture and loosely load goods into a truck, we individually package your belongings to ensure they are kept separate and protected during transit. We use cardboard containers or wood crates to package items based on their value. Our packing standards not only meet but exceed the requirements set by manufacturers for packaging new products such as electronics and furniture. Once packaged, we palletize, shrink wrap, and band the items, providing a safe and cost-effective way to transport your valued belongings.

  • 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.
    • Helping your parents move to an assisted living facility.
    • Estate moves

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 !

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.
