What To Expect

A straight answer, quickly.

When you are short on time, the worst thing a mover can do is leave you waiting.

✦

A real answer today

Ray answers the phone himself. You will know whether the date is possible in the same conversation.

✦

Normal pricing

We do not add a premium because you are in a hurry. It is the same hourly rate as any other job.

✦

No deposit

Nothing up front, which matters when a move has already cost you money unexpectedly.

✦

We can pack too

If you have not started packing, say so. We can bring materials and handle it as part of the same job.

✦

Honest about capacity

If we genuinely cannot do your date we will say so immediately rather than string you along. You need the time to find someone else.

✦

Fully insured

Short notice does not mean cutting corners. Same pads, same wrap, same coverage.

Common Questions

Short notice FAQs.

How quickly can you move me?

Sometimes the next day, often within the week. It depends entirely on what is already on the calendar. Call and we will tell you straight away rather than making you wait for an email.

Do you charge more for short notice?

No. It is our standard hourly rate. We would rather fill a gap in the schedule than price-gouge somebody having a bad week.

What if I have not packed yet?

Tell us when you call. We can bring boxes and materials and pack as part of the job, which is often the only way a tight date works at all.

Can you store my things for a few days?

We do not run a storage facility, but we can usually work with a container or a unit you have arranged, and load it properly so nothing is damaged while it sits.

What is the fastest way to get an answer?

Phone. (937) 451-7360. The form is fine for a normal timeline, but if your date is days away, call — it is the quickest route to a yes or no.
