“Smooth move to Memphis”
Charles did a great job packing and moving my things from Oxford, MS to Memphis, TN. They did a great job handling my heavier pieces. They were very kind and helpful.

Do Movers in Starkville, MS Handle MSU Move-In Day?
Residence hall move-in usually works best with the family car, because Mississippi State runs it on its own system. Each student books a 2-hour check-in slot, and only two vehicles per student are allowed in the unloading zones.
We help with everything around it: off-campus apartments, storing furniture over the summer and moving out at the end of the lease.
What Can You Leave for the City’s Bulky-Item Pickup?
Starkville’s sanitation department collects bulky items such as sofas, mattresses, recliners and large appliances from homes, but not from apartment complexes, businesses or churches.
If the timing doesn’t work, our crew can take unwanted pieces during the move, from $10 to $100 each. We don’t offer stand-alone junk removal.

Call (662) 701-8667How much do movers in Starkville MS charge?
Local Starkville jobs cost the crew’s hours at your estimate’s hourly rate, with a 2-hour minimum and 15-minute billing after that. We count the drive between the two addresses as work. A long distance move uses miles, weight and truck space instead.

Yes. Furniture can go into storage when your lease ends in May and come back out for an August move-in, all on one estimate.
When should I book a Starkville move in May or August?
Book a few weeks ahead. Our Starkville crews travel from Oxford, so an early call gives you more dates to choose from.
What happens if the crew is late for my move?
You get $15 off for every hour the crew arrives late. Arrival windows are 2 hours for a morning start and 3 hours for an afternoon start.
