Top Short Distance Movers related questions
In the United States, the price to pay for short distance movers usually go from $800 to $2,150. Other factors that affect the price include the distance of the move, the type of items to be transported, or other additional fees that involve labor (e.g., having to climb long flights of stairs to pick up or drop off your items).
Usually, it is considered a short-distance move if it is a move less than 50 miles.
No, you don’t need to. Apart from their trusty vehicle, your Tasker is expected to bring the required equipment upon arrival. For specific requests, just let your Tasker know about it so they can prepare accordingly, like having to carry and transport fragile or wet items.
Movers should be physically strong, solution-oriented, and smart navigators. As they also usually come in a group, a mover should be a good team player.
It’s ideal to book at least one or two months before your moving date. In the United States, summer may be the peak season of moves, so you can try hiring a Tasker earlier if you have the same schedule.
The definition of “best” depends on your preferences. This is why it’s important to access a transparent feedback system, which is something Airtasker offers. You can freely choose a Tasker based on your preferences; just scroll through reviews and ratings of past clients.
You can check if the movers have insurance and licenses and certifications from your state, the Department of Transportation, or other important bodies. This is to ensure they are capable of handling your items safely.

What do short distance moving services include?
Moving day feels mundane but also intimidating. You have to strategize on how to pack different kinds of objects, while also making sure they’re secured and safe during the ride. Plus, you have to make sure you’re making the best logistical decisions. After all, not why force yourself to book a pricey delivery service that’s meant for heavy duty shipments to long distances? What if you just want something flexible and fast?
Short-distance movers can offer you the cost-efficient and flexible service absent in deliveries for long-distance. They can do tasks quickly, and have the knowledge to navigate your state. With movers’ help, you can use your personal time on something more urgent and important.
Ready to connect with short distance movers near you? Here’s how most Taskers can help:
Prepare materials and equipment for a short distance move
Breaking a sweat in pulling a huge piano out of a room? Figuring out how to fit fragile vases in an old box? Instead of stressing out over the available equipment at home—nope, that Scotch tape won’t cut it—rely on short distance movers’ arsenal. They have appliance dollies, furniture dollies, and hand trucks for lifting; packing tape, bubblewrap, furniture sliders, moving blankets, and straps for protection; and more.
Pack your items securely for a short distance move
You can pack your own items (especially if they are easy to secure) or let your Tasker do it for you, which guarantees more safety and security. They will organize your belongings, categorize them, and choose the right kind of packaging, even for fragile, perishable, or bulky items.
You don’t have to worry about items spilling or breaking at the back of the car while you’re driving and transporting on your own. They’ll also label the items or boxes and make an inventory, so it’s easier to find and lay them out in the next location. These skilled movers can do these things quickly, too!
Assemble and disassemble furniture for a short distance move
While it can be exciting, dealing with furniture—especially if they’re brand new—is mostly a headache. Even with the aid of an instructional manual, assembling a new wardrobe can be a five-hour extreme sport. You don’t want to waste your whole afternoon looking for the right YouTube video to deal with your problems, either. Good news is your Tasker can help you through this challenge.
They can help with disassembly, too, may it be a large dining table you’re transferring to a new family home in the same city, or an enormous bookshelf from your childhood you want to bring to your college dorm.
Load and unload your things safely for a short distance move
Taskers are skilled in maximizing trolleys and dollies to do the loading and unloading job. Don’t take the risk of carrying heavy loads of stuff if it means getting injured!
Need Tasker to go up multiple floors or navigate narrow paths? Include it in your request.
Transport your belongings to a nearby location or space
Of course, your short distance mover is expected to hit the road safely and cleverly. They may use cargo vans, flatbed trucks, or other vehicles. You can also count on Taskers to do interstate moves.

I have a studio apartment, up two flights of stairs, that I need moved into a local shipping container (about 2 miles away from my apartment). There is one queen bed, one twin bed (and mattresses), one vanity, and a few various bedside tables that need to be moved, alongside some boxes. This task will require two movers, but really shouldn't require too big of a truck, as I don't have that much stuff.
