Why Student Moving Needs Are Different — And How We Handle Them
Moving as a student is rarely about big houses. It’s often a small apartment, shared rooms, dorms, or a few boxes. That means a different kind of care, flexibility, and budget.
Small Loads. Big Care.
We’re comfortable with micro-moves, small apartments, and shared housing moves.
From a couple of boxes to a mattress and a desk — we treat each move with the same care we’d give a full home.
Our team uses the right equipment: moving dollies, hand trucks, furniture pads, moving blankets, tie-down straps, plastic bins, mattress bags, and more. That keeps your items safe — even if it’s just a small load or fragile belongings.
Packed or Unpacked — Your Choice
Don’t have time to pack? We can help with packing & unpacking services using packing paper, bubble wrap, wardrobe boxes, cardboard boxes (small/medium/large), tape, fragile-item protectors, and storage bins.
Want to save time and skip packing? We can focus on loading, transport, unloading, furniture disassembly/reassembly (if needed), and placing things where you want in your new place.
Student-Friendly Scheduling & Rates
We get it — students often move at odd times: during summer break, between semesters, or even last minute. We offer flexible scheduling, affordable student moving rates, and labor-only help if you just need muscle and a truck, not full service.

What Makes Moving Fellows Different — And Why It Matters
We’ve studied what other local movers do in Gresham. Many offer standard local or long-distance moving. But often they don’t speak directly to student needs: small loads, flexible timing, dorm-to-apartment moves, moving during semester breaks. Some providers focus on large residential or commercial moves — but few treat a two-bedroom apartment move with the same care as larger jobs.
Here’s how we stand out:
Student-first mindset. We understand student budgets, timing, and needs.
Flexible scheduling. Need a summer-break move, last-minute help, or to shift in between semesters? We’re ready.
Right tools for the job. We bring moving dollies, hand trucks, mattress bags, protective blankets — so that even fragile or awkward items survive the move safely.
Clear, upfront quotes. No hidden fees. No surprise charges if stairs, narrow hallways, or extra handling are involved — we’ll let you know what’s included.
Licensed, insured, professional movers. You have peace-of-mind that your belongings are covered.
Friendly, reliable team. Movers are trained, background-checked, and used to student moves — we treat your things like ours.

F.A.Qs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a student move cost in Gresham?
It depends on how much stuff you have, how many movers you need, and whether you need packing or just labor. For a typical student with a few boxes, a small apartment, or a dorm move — the cost will be lower than a full-house move. Reach out for a free quote, and we’ll give you a simple estimate based on your situation.
Do you help if I just need help loading/unloading or have a truck/rented van?
Yes. We offer labor-only services. If you have your own vehicle or a rental van/truck and just need help lifting, loading, unloading — we do that. Perfect if you’re doing a small move or moving in with roommates.
What if my new apartment has stairs (or narrow hallways)? Will that cost more?
We take those factors into account when giving you the quote. If stairs or tight spaces are involved, we’ll let you know up front if extra labor or time is needed — so there are no surprise charges.
Can you disassemble and reassemble my furniture (bed, desk, bookshelf)?
Absolutely. We offer furniture disassembly and reassembly as part of our moving services. That’s often a lifesaver for desks, beds, or anything that doesn’t fit through doors as-is.
What equipment do you use to protect my belongings — especially fragile stuff?
We use moving dollies, hand trucks, furniture pads, moving blankets, mattress bags, tie-down straps, plastic bins, cardboard boxes (small/medium/large), bubble wrap, packing paper, sturdy tape, and protective wraps for fragile items.
Do you serve areas outside Gresham if I’m moving to/from nearby cities (Portland, Troutdale, Fairview, etc.)?
Yes. We serve Gresham and surrounding areas including Portland, Troutdale, Fairview, Happy Valley, Boring, Damascus, and Wood Village. Just tell us your origin and destination — we’ll cover it.
How far in advance should I book? What if I’m moving last minute?
Earlier is better — especially during busy times like end-of-semester or summer break. But we know students sometimes need last-minute help. Reach out, and if we have availability, we’ll do our best to assist. We aim to offer flexible scheduling whenever possible.
