UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.
MOVING THE COMMUNITY.
UniMovers' moving labor Solution
More than Just Moving
UniMovers consists of locally owned moving companies working to uplift the community while utilizing university and college movers. We provide labor-only moving to the local areas that we service.
We know that full-service moving companies are expensive. Really expensive. By using our labor-only moving services our customers save, on average, 40-60% when compared to traditional full-service moving companies. All you need to do is provide/rent the truck or storage container, and book with us to do the labor.
Supporting Local Students
All of our workers are local university and college students or recent graduates earning money to support themselves while pursuing a degree or paying off their students loans. In addition, a portion of every move goes to our scholarship fund!
Simple payment
To make paying easy, we are a card-only moving company. We charge at a flat rate and if applicable, a travel fee. We also guarantee no added fees for stairs, pianos, or “day-of” bookings.
Reliable & Insured
Every mover goes through an initial screening and on-boarding process. Our UniMovers really care about our clients. In the rare case where something happens, we are insured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our most frequently asked questions and answers
We are a labor-only moving company but we are happy to recommend affordable trucks or a local mobile storage company!
For most moves, we supply lifting straps, ratchet straps, and tools to assemble and disassemble beds and other miscellaneous furniture upon request. To ensure we bring the tools and equipment needed, we ask that you make a note for any bulky items and any items that may require assembly in your inventory list.
We do not provide moving blankets or a dolly. These items may be rented through your local moving truck rental company.
Note: Equipment may vary by location. Please reach out to your local UniMovers team for specifics.
After you submit a booking request, we will reach out to confirm everything with you. If your request seems off from what we expect, we might recommend getting more movers or a longer amount of time.
If your move takes longer than expected, we try our best to work around our schedule to finish your move. In these cases, it's important to keep in mind that we charge hourly. You can find our hourly rates here.
In the simplest terms, a labor-only moving company does not provide trucks. Labor-only moving companies are becoming the new trend because they allow owners to open with little start-up cost and fewer licenses, enabling more competitive rates.
A study by MovingLabor.com found that labor-only services save people an estimated 30–50% compared to full-service movers.
Our movers are paid hourly, but tips are always welcome based on your satisfaction. On average, customers tip 17.5%, and movers keep 100% of their tips!

We do not charge a cancellation fee. If you need to cancel, please let us know 48 hours before the time of your scheduled move. Please note that last-minute cancellations keep us from running our business and helping other people move.
