A small move is a relocation involving a small amount of items, usually just a few items or boxes. This type of move is smaller in scale compared to typical moves and is usually for studio or one-bedroom minimalist homes. This usually would be a dorm move for a new college student or a small city move.
Small moves can often be completed relatively quickly, sometimes in just a few hours which is why you can bargain for good deals if you are flexible on times as movers like to make extra money during their routes.
Small moves can be just as hard as larger ones, but with the right knowledge, they can be done efficiently. Here are our team’s top tips for moving small style.
