How to Move an Apartment
uShip makes it easy as 1, 2, 3!
1 | Create Your Listing
Before finding the right apartment moving companies, list your apartment move with as much detail as you can. Be sure to include required dates or a time frame for your move, a list of large and small items to be moved, number of boxes, measurements of all large furniture, photographs, and the level of service required. There are a few different levels of apartment moving services depending on your needs. There’s self-service, when you move your items on and off the truck and loading service, when you pack your items and the moving company loads and unloads the truck for you. Another option is white glove or full service apartment movers, when the movers pack and wrap your items in your apartment for you and place it in your new home.
Make sure you have an itemized list of what you’re moving from your apartment. A detailed listing allows movers to place more accurate quotes on your move and reduces the chance for surprise costs on moving day.

Apartment Moving Insurance
All licensed moving companies are required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to carry a minimum amount of cargo insurance. Look at the apartment moving company’s profile on uShip to see what kind of coverage they have. Licensed apartment movers are also required to provide you with written proof of insurance. This certificate will detail their coverage and name their insurance provider, so you can verify the information on the certificate before you hand over your items.
We encourage all of our shipping customers who are moving to consider obtaining a third-party insurance provider. Find out more by visiting the uShip cargo insurance page.
Planning Your Apartment Move
Having an organized moving checklist from the beginning of the process can help you plan your relocation and make sure you don’t leave out any important details when packing up your apartment. There are things you may not have thought of beforehand, like properly moving furniture or selling items to help lighten the load for your chosen moving company. Also, consider the following:
- 1. Change your address
- 2. Disconnect and transfer utilities
- 3. Close accounts associated with previous address
- 4. Transfer services
Whether you’re moving for your freshman year of college, work, or fun, having your apartment moving list will keep you ahead of your stress.
