Ship2Storage makes small moves simple, affordable, and nationwide.
The Problem: Moving Companies Aren’t Built for Small Loads
If you’ve ever tried to hire movers for “just a few boxes,” you’ve probably heard this line:
“We have a minimum charge.”
Most moving companies charge by truckload, not by box, and their minimum fees can start at $400 or more, even if you only have a few small items.
That’s why Ship2Storage created the Micro-Move category: a hybrid of shipping and storage designed for real people who move small.
No trucks. No movers. No minimums. Just easy, per-box shipping and storage that fits your lifestyle and your budget.
What Is a Micro-Move?
A Micro-Move is any move that doesn’t fill a truck. Think:
1–10 boxes of clothes, books, or home essentials.
A small dorm or studio move.
Seasonal storage between semesters or internships.
Sending items between cities or states.
Instead of renting space you don’t need, you simply:
Pack your boxes.
Print prepaid FedEx or UPS labels.
Ship your boxes to a secure, climate-controlled warehouse for safekeeping.
Ship them back anywhere in the U.S. when you’re ready.
It’s like having a moving truck and a storage unit without ever renting either one.
The Micro-Move Advantage
Traditional movers and storage companies focus on volume. Ship2Storage focuses on value.
| Feature | Traditional Movers | Self-Storage Units | Ship2Storage (Micro-Move) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum Cost | $400–$800 | $150–$300/month | $90–$150 total |
| Who Moves It | Movers (extra fees) | You (truck required) | Ship via FedEx/UPS |
| Flexibility | Fixed schedules | Fixed location | Ship anywhere in the U.S. |
| Billing | Full truck/unit | Monthly contracts | Pay per box |
Micro-Moves are efficient, affordable, and built for how people live today — smaller spaces, shorter leases, and flexible timelines.
A Grad Student’s Micro-Move
Emily, a grad student in Chicago, needed to store a few boxes while she completed a summer internship in Atlanta.
Movers quoted her $375 for pickup and storage.
Instead, she shipped her boxes to Ship2Storage for under $150 total — including both shipping and storage.
When she returned in August, she had her boxes delivered to her new apartment.
“It’s the easiest move I’ve ever done,” she says. “I didn’t have to rent a truck or schedule anything — I just shipped my life in a few boxes.”
