Will Movers Move Just One Room?

How to Hire Movers to Move a Small Amount of Stuff

 A reader recently asked if movers will move a small amount of stuff. She described her move as tiny, with less than a bachelor's apartment worth. The short answer is, yes, many movers will consider adding your things to a larger shipment. However, there are some exceptions.

When Will a Mover Take a Small Amount?

Personally, I find local moves are the hardest. Usually, if you're moving across the city or to another neighborhood, local movers are less likely to move a small amount. Most expect that you'll move it yourself or find friends to help. Long distance moves are different. Often, movers use large transport trucks to haul your household things, across the state or country, and in doing so, they usually include a few pick-ups along the way. One of those pick-ups could be yours if they have the room.

The best advice I can give, is ask. Call a reputable mover and ask if they'd be willing to move your things and at what cost.

When Won't a Mover Take a Small Amount?

Like most businesses, movers are concerned about their bottom line. The more moves they make the better. So you're less likely to find a mover willing to move your stuff if you're moving in the summer months - the height of moving season. Most movers are booked months in advance with little or no extra room on their truck.

If you are moving in the summer, you might want to consider moving the items yourself.

Sometimes it Depends on What You're Moving

While the woman who contacted me with this moving question had a tiny apartment to move, often people are looking to move one piece of furniture or a large appliance or big screen TV. If you're trying to move just one large item - or even several - it pays to hire a professional. Some items may require specialized services, in particular, appliances andpianos. Know before you call how big the item is and its value to ensure that the mover provides adequate insurance and expertise.
