Dorm Stuff to Storage
MOVE IT! by bike was hired by a college student’s mom through Thumbtack. It was a stormy day on moving day but in the afternoon the sky cleared and the sun came out and the the move was started.
Here is mom’s review on Thumbtack:
Family Heirloom
MOVE IT! by bike was hired to move a family heirloom from it’s location at Bella Umbrella to an apartment in the Warehouse District. With our newly purchased dolly the move was a snap for one mover. After turning the drawer knobs around and removing the legs the dresser was covered with moving blankets. Then it was loaded on and secured to the dolly, rolled out of the store and onto the trailer. After securing it on the trailer it was moved to its new home. It was discovered that the door to the apartment could not be opened remotely so it had to be left outside the door.

Could not open the door so had to leave it outside the apartment to be brought in later. Note that the drawer knobs were reversed for moving.
Summer School
Moved a few things from storage to a dorm. Was told MOVE IT! by bike will be hired at the end of the semester to bring it all back.

Just the big stuff
MOVE IT! by bike was hired to move the big stuff. So we moved a full sized bed. Seven chairs. Three book shelves. A large coffee table. Two night stands. An end table. A kitchen table. And a few other things. It took two trips from the 3800 block of Napoleon to the 700 block of Josephine a distance of three miles. Total time of the move was 6 hours with two movers at $40/hour each. So $40 x 2 x 6 = $480 was the bill. Our client gave a generous tip to our movers as well.
Bed and Night Stands all in One Box
Avita contacted MOVE IT! by bike through Thumbtack and wanted a bed and two night stands assembled. Since another scheduled job was rescheduled we had an opening for that day. So in just a few hours from contact, Avita had her bed and night stands assembled and ready for a good night’s sleep.
Not our best move
Not our best move. Our clients for our move were very unhappy. We had an inexperienced crew and not enough equipment to do the job right. MOVE IT! by bike has a long way to go before we start moving entire apartments again. We need more trailers and equipment before doing so. For now we will move just one thing or two. I will keep on doing Uber Eats to pay the bills and grow MOVE IT! by bike.

Furniture Assembly
Tim arrived on time (actually a few minutes early!) and was ready to get to work. In his response to my initial request, he actually had the foresight to ask if I had links to the furniture I wanted assembled so that he could be prepared with requisite tools - and prepared he was. He was pleasant, finished in a timely manner, and even helped to clear boxes and packaging for us. I would [will] request his support for any future help, and have, as well, already referred him to someone else.
