Why Choose Moving APT for Last Minute Moving?
Rapid Response
A last-minute mover’s only as good as their response time. We’ve always got someone waiting for your call, and we’ll get moving as soon as you book.
Flexible Scheduling
Most moving companies only provide short-notice moves if they have a sudden cancellation. Luckily, we’re a lot more flexible than those guys.
Expedited Deliveries
Sure, you need to get out of town fast. But you also want your items to arrive at your new place before you. That’s why we offer expedited delivery.
Our Last-Minute Moving Services
Local Moving
Whether it’s across the block or across town, our local movers can handle your last-minute move with the care and efficiency it deserves. Local moving requires a special skillset, and we make sure our movers are up to the task.
When you book a local move with Moving APT, your movers will show up on time and get right to work. They’ll carefully load all of your items, and they’ll use the best route to get your stuff to point B with minimal sitting around in traffic. It’s great for your schedule, and easy on your wallet.
Long-Distance Moving
If you’re moving a little further, Moving APT has you covered. Anything over 100 miles or across state lines counts as a long distance move, and these relocations require plenty of planning and prep.
Our long distance movers are all certified for interstate commerce and transportation. They’re also insured, vetted, and well-trained when it comes to long haul trucking. The best part? We’ll set you up with one of our 500+ nationwide agents, who’ll coordinate every step of the whole process. From packing to unpacking, we’ll take care of the hard stuff so you don’t have to think about it.
Commercial Moves
Your startup just went to the moon. It’s time to get your office moved there, too. Short-distance, long-distance, doesn’t matter: Moving APT can help you with your commercial relocation on short notice.
Our commercial movers have plenty of experience when it comes to handling companies of all shapes and sizes. Tech startups, mom and pops, even warehouses full of inventory and machinery. We’ve got the equipment to get it moved safely, and we’ve got the smarts to get it moved quickly. We’re business owners too, and we know how to reduce downtime and keep your gears turning.
Residential Moves
Every home is different, but every home requires plenty of careful attention to detail, efficient loading and hauling, and a gentle hand with all those keepsakes and personal treasures. From apartments to mansions, Moving APT has moved them all. Now, we’re ready to help you.
Our residential moving services are tailored to keep your items as safe as possible. Everything in your home tells a story, and we want to make sure the next chapter gets off to a good start. Careful packing, clear communication, and Moving APT-provided coordination between all those moving parts means you’ll move house smoother than ever.
Full Service Packing
Packing is the hardest part of the job. If you’ve ever DIY’d it, you’d agree with us. Between all those trips to Home Depot for boxes, all those missing items that turn up at the last minute, and the endless worrying about whether two t-shirts was enough padding for your fine china, it’s a lot easier to cut the stress and let the pros handle it.
When you book full service packing with Moving APT, you’re really getting full service packing. We’ll show up with all the boxes and bubble wrap you’ll need for the job, and we’ll make sure each item is carefully wrapped and packed for minimal bumping and bruising in transit.
Storage Solutions
When you need to get out of your old place in a hurry, storage can be a real lifesaver. You may need more space. You may need more time. Either way, it’s a good thing Moving APT offers storage solutions for short-notice moves.
As an added bonus, Moving APT is one of the only last-minute moving companies that offers on-site, full service storage. This means you won’t have to rent a moving truck and spend all that time and energy to get your stuff out of some dusty storage unit. Instead, our teams will hand-deliver your items when you need them, and drop it all off with care.
How Does Last-Minute Moving Work with Moving APT?
Last-minute moving is a fine art. It takes a lot of coordination, and a lot of preparation that’s crammed into a tiny window of time. Fortunately, the team at Moving APT is all about short-notice, ride-or-die customer service – not to mention streamlined move management and all the cool extras and add-ons you’ll ever need.
Your last-minute move starts when you’re shopping for quotes. We made it easier than ever to plug in your information, tell us about where you’re going and what you’re hauling, and what services you’ll need on the big day. Once you share some deets, we’ll send you a quote, free of charge.
Once you look everything over and book your move, we’ll spring into action. Your agent will coordinate pickup, transportation, and delivery for all of your belongings. (This includes any of those extra services you requested, btw.) Our moving team will show up on moving day, and they’ll get right to work.
Our movers are carefully vetted and verified. We make sure they get the best training possible, and the best equipment to match. At the end of the day, we want you to have a move that’s fast, efficient, safe, and careful.
On moving day, we’ll help with the loading, hauling, and heavy lifting. And after the job’s done? We’ll check in to make sure everything went well. It’s all part of our door-to-door last-minute delivery. And it’s what makes Moving APT the best last-minute mover in the business.

Last-Minute Moving FAQs
It usually takes between 1 and 21 days to move. There are a few different factors behind this timeline, most notably the amount of stuff you’re transporting and how far everything has to travel. (Drivers aren’t legally allowed to log more than 400 miles of interstate travel per day).
Most moving companies also bundle moves for greater efficiency. This means if your move doesn’t fill up a truck or trailer, they’ll wait until there are other customers on the same route. Then, they’ll load several moves in the same truck to cut down on wasted space. It’s cheaper (and they’ll keep everything secure and separated), but there are delays for those dropoffs and deliveries along the way. Fortunately, Moving APT doesn’t bundle last-minute moves!
Your move will cost between $1,000 and $7,500, but if you want a more specific number, it pays to use a moving cost calculator. Your final price depends on how much you’re hauling and how far you’re going, but there are other add-ons and extras that will increase your price.
Be on the lookout for packing fees, storage fees, and access fees if you’ve got a long driveway or your building has multiple flights of stairs. Depending on where you’re moving, you may have to deal with a shuttle to get your items delivered straight to your door. (Some places don’t let large semi trucks park on city streets, so your movers will have to use a smaller van to finish the job.)
We know you’re desperate, but you should NEVER pay the whole price up front. A down payment is perfectly reasonable, usually to the tune of a few percent or a couple hundred bucks. But if your moving company expects you to pay the full price before they move a single box? Odds are, they’re trying to scam you – after all, once they have all your money, where’s their incentive to actually show up when promised? Run away, and find another mover.
Pack your least-used items first, and work your way up to your most-used items. If you have art hanging on your walls, or seasonal decor, box all that up first. You should think about the items you use on a day-to-day basis, and try to save those for last.
Finally, try to put your must-have items in an essentials bag. This is a backpack or suitcase that you can load up with your everyday necessities: toiletries, chargers, a couple of changes of clothes, etc. You’ll be living out of your essentials bag during the move, and during those days where you’re unpacking and getting situated.
