Not for Large Full-Service Moves

Ship Smart specializes in smaller shipments and small moves. Customers who need a full-size, whole-home local move with a large crew may be better served by a traditional full-service moving company.

Estimate Required for Pricing

Ship Smart does not publish set rates online. Because each shipment is priced individually by size, distance, and handling, customers need to request a free estimate to learn the cost of their specific shipment.

Great small load shipper! Pricing is reasonable, arrived to pack items on time, easy delivery process with great communication. All work done professionally! Would not hesitate to use them again.

I had to move from Boston to Rochester, MN and didn't have a lot of stuff to move and wouldn't have bothered with the profane price estimates I was getting from MayFlower etc. ShipSmart gave me what I needed: an affordable alternative for someone who can wait a bit for a limited number of items to be transported. They were shockingly fast about it, but the shipment speed can vary a lot. The crew that came by to pack up my stuff and load it were hard-working, professional, and fast. I boxed up or otherwise wrapped most of my stuff but I worried that I hadn't been complete enough, but that didn't seem to concern them. They just got the job done. They were also highly punctual. The wrapping and packing was no joke either. If anything they over did it. The truck driver didn't understand what the wooden pole with a rubberized end was doing in one of my two wrapped pellet-piles but I quickly found out you need it to disassemble their wrap and pack job. Be forewarned it costs extra to have them bring your things in to your new place. I did it myself and saved a bunch of money. Can't recommend them enough, but you will have to wait a bit for your things to arrive. Probably longer than I did.

I heard about ShipSmart from another shipper in LA, and they did a great job with my small but valuable shipment. They picked up delicate objects at a private home in LA, packed them expertly, and safely got them to me in Montana in about a week - well ahead of the 4-week estimate. My favorite thing about ShipSmart: I can pick up the phone and talk directly to the folks who run the show. Great service, no complaints!

I shipped two pallets of household goods from Vancouver BC to Los Angeles CA. ShipSmart's strategy of palletizing goods allowed them to offer a price half that of standard movers, who have a household minimum. My shipment arrived in excellent condition, but was shipped on August 13 and arrived October 7, quite a bit longer than the 4-6 weeks I was initially quoted. Having said that, I recommend ShipSmart and I will use them for my next shipment. My goods were picked up on time at my Vancouver apartment. Everything went well until August 26, when I started to receive vague messages saying I needed to pay. No amount to pay or where to pay. Just pay. Details about the job were incorrect. Frankly, it looked like a phishing attack. This vagueness continued for about two weeks. If not for this, my shipment would have been on time. The shipment arrived superbly packed, with everything in excellent condition.
