Student Movers - FAQs
Why Should Students In Austin Consider Student Storage Options?
To simplify their transition between semesters, or when relocating between open timeframes of dorms or off-campus apartments, students should consider secure storage options. Booking a safe storage space will eliminate the stress of figuring out where to put furniture, books, and additional belongings over summer break without moving them all back home. Austin student storage keeps your items safe and accessible when you plan to return to college. If your student housing situation is in transition and might change, hiring student movers to help you move your items into a convenient storage unit can be an effective temporary solution. A storage unit provides a secure environment where you can keep your possessions. Some storage facilities have climate-controlled units to protect your sensitive belongings from humid conditions.
How Do I Choose The Right Student Moving Company?
To hire a trustworthy Austin student moving company, evaluate their services, availability, and affordability. Ask students who previously hired them for insights about their reliability and reputation. Assess if their pricing is transparent by reviewing multiple estimates. Find out if they’re available on the moving date you’re planning. For your protection, inquire if they‘re insured and licensed. Confirm the specific moving services that will be included in your package and thoroughly read your contract prior to signing. If you take these steps, you’ll experience a stress-free move if you entrust your move to a team like ours at Not A Hobby Moving.
What Should I Pack When Moving As A Student?
Students who want to be organized and pack moving boxes for college should use this handy list to ensure they’re prepared:
- Documents like your ID, passport, car insurance, registration, and financial records
- Laptop computer, phone, chargers, tablet, surge protectors, flash drives, TV, HDMI cables, and headphones
- Clothing and shoes for various seasons
- Toiletries and personal care products like medications, vitamins, shampoo, toothbrushes, deodorant, soap, basic first aid supplies, and skincare products.
- Bedding, sheets, towels, pillows, pillowcases
- Laundry supplies like detergent, laundry baskets, or duffles, dryer sheets
- Small kitchen appliances, a coffeemaker, utensils, plates, and water bottles
- School supplies like a backpack, notebooks, pencils, pens, and highlighters
- Dorm or apartment-sized furniture, hangers, a trash can, desk lamps, and small storage bins
- Tool kit, flashlight
- Room decor like posters, art, string lights, fold-up chairs
- Bike and bike lock, umbrella, rain poncho
Can Student Movers Help With Last-Minute Or Emergency Moves?
Some movers can assist with last-minute or emergency student moving, but it might depend on demand and their schedule. If it’s peak season or the end of the month, it might prove to be more difficult to get a last minute moving spot. Finding a mover on short notice can be streamlined by contacting a few moving companies and verifying their same-day rates in advance.
What Are The Benefits Of Hiring Student Movers Over Doing It Myself?
When you do it by yourself, the physical demands of moving can be exhausting. Allow us to handle your move, instead of worrying about logistics, so you can spend your energy setting up your new living space and adjusting to college life. Our professional movers can manage the heavy lifting for you if you’re a student who is planning to move to college. Our Not A Hobby Moving team brings the proper tools and equipment to use and can efficiently pack your fragile or bulky items and safely transport them to your college dorm room or off-campus apartment, reducing the risk of damage or loss. Don’t rely on any friends for moving help who may not be dependable, because last-minute complications might develop on moving day. Delegate your move to our experienced professionals for a smooth moving process to ensure you’ll avoid unnecessary stress.
Are Student Moving Services Available During Holidays And School Breaks?
Moving over the holidays or around the start and end of academic terms takes a little more coordination, but student moving services are still available from some Austin movers if you book early. It’s best to research movers who may have open reservations for these high-demand time periods, because they are popular times for students to move. Whether you’re downsizing, upgrading, or temporarily moving, Not A Hobby expert movers can make your entire moving process easier.
How Far In Advance Should I Book A Student Moving Company?
If you’re a student who is getting ready to head to college soon, it’s smart to book your moving company four to six weeks in advance of your move-in date because demand for movers becomes high during peak back-to-school season, and availability becomes limited. You’re more likely to get your preferred moving date if you book your reservation early. If your college requires specific student move-in and move-out dates and times, consider these when you plan your moving timeline. You’ll arrive with time to set up your living space and be ready to direct your attention to classes when they begin, if you schedule your moving date early.
Moving companies get busy around the end of the school year, so book early if you’re moving home for the summer or graduating and moving to a new destination. Make reservations for storage units prior to the year-end rush to ensure you have enough space to store your belongings. Planning ahead minimizes the chance of complications on your moving day and saves you money.
Do Student Moving Companies Offer Insurance For My Belongings?
Some moving companies offer insurance for students’ possessions, but not all of them do. Before you sign a moving contract, ask your mover if they offer it and what it covers specifically. Not A Hobby Moving is proud to be licensed and provides insurance to all of our clients to ensure your belongings are protected.
Can I Store My Items For Multiple Semesters Or An Entire Year?
We can move any of your belongings to a storage location of your choice, and they can be stored safely for multiple semesters or a whole year if you need it.
