Moving

Office moving planned around your workdays

An office move is measured in workstations and working hours. Tell carriers how big the space is, how many desks and machines move and whether the job has to happen after hours or on a weekend, and they bid on a plan that fits your schedule.

Where is it going?

What carriers need from you

These are the fields in the office moving form. Complete answers let carriers bid on the real job instead of padding for unknowns.

Every post also includes

  • Pickup and delivery addresses with date and time windows
  • Extra stops along the route, if any
  • Up to 5 photos and 5 files, such as spec sheets or floor plans
  • Anything else carriers should know, in your own words

The space

  • Type of office: small office, corporate office, co-working space, retail store, warehouse
  • Total square footage: under 500, 500–1,000, 1,000–5,000 or 5,000+ sq ft
  • Number of workstations or desks, from 1–5 to 50+
  • Number of large furniture items

Equipment

  • Computers, printers, copiers, phones and servers
  • Items needing special handling: IT equipment, server racks, glass partitions, electronics, heavy machinery
  • Whether anything fragile is moving

Extras

  • Packing and unpacking
  • Furniture disassembly and reassembly
  • Storage
  • After-hours or weekend moving
  • Extra moving supplies

Before pickup

  1. 1

    Book the freight elevator and loading dock at both buildings, and ask both property managers what insurance certificate movers must provide.

  2. 2

    Number every desk and label its furniture, boxes and equipment to match. Attach the new floor plan to your post.

  3. 3

    Have IT back up data and photograph cable layouts, and decide who disconnects and reconnects computers, phones and servers.

  4. 4

    Check your lease before listing copiers and large printers; leasing companies often require their own technicians to move them.

  5. 5

    Give staff a deadline to pack personal items and clear desks the day before.

Office moving questions

Can the move happen after hours or on a weekend?

Yes. Turn on after-hours or weekend moving in the form, and carriers who work those hours will bid with that schedule.

Will movers reconnect computers and the network?

Movers move the equipment; reconnecting networks is usually done by your IT team or vendor. If you need setup help, say so in the details, or post the job as a corporate relocation, which includes IT and network setup as an option.

How do I describe the size of the move?

The form uses three measures carriers understand: a square footage range, the number of workstations and the number of large furniture items. A floor plan or photos help even more.

How does payment work for a business?

You pay the accepted bid plus the 10% AllShip service fee, and Stripe holds it in escrow. The carrier is paid after you confirm delivery, or automatically 72 hours after delivery if you have not opened a dispute.
