How is Ship Smart different from a conventional household goods mover?
Expand icon for answers to small moving questions.

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.

What is a small move?
Expand icon for answers to small moving questions.
  • 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.
    • Helping your parents move to an assisted living facility.
    • Estate moves
