LAST MINUTE MOVERS

Plans Changed. We Haven’t.

Your moving company canceled. Your closing date got pushed up by a week. Your landlord gave you 48 hours. Whatever happened, you need a full crew and a truck on short notice — and you need them to show up ready, not scrambling. That’s what Poseidon Moving does.

We keep trucks and crews available specifically for urgent bookings. Same-day and next-day moves aren’t an afterthought for us — they’re part of how we operate. Over 85,000 completed moves since 2004, and a significant number of those started with a phone call that morning.

FULL SERVICE, SHORT NOTICE

Nothing Gets Cut Because the Timeline Did

A last minute move with Poseidon includes everything a scheduled move does. Your furniture gets wrapped, disassembled and reassembled, carefully loaded, transported, and placed exactly where you want it. Add packing if you haven’t had time to box anything — our crew can pack your entire home the same day.

Need a Certificate of Insurance for your building? We issue rush COIs so access isn’t held up. If your move-out and move-in dates don’t align, our storage facilities bridge the gap until your new place is ready.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Every piece of furniture is wrapped in moving blankets and stretch wrap before loading, regardless of how quickly the job was booked. Items covered:

✓ Couches

✓ Chairs

✓ Mattresses

✓ Bed frames

✓ Dressers

✓ Tables

✓ Shelving units

✓ Cabinets

Large furniture that won’t fit through doorways or into the truck gets taken apart on-site and reassembled at the destination. Items include:

✓ Bed frames

✓ Tables

✓ Armoires

✓ China cabinets

✓ Shelving units

✓ Desks

If you haven’t had time to pack, our crew brings professional-grade boxes, paper, tape, and bubble wrap and can pack your entire home before loading. Kitchenware, artwork, electronics, closets — everything gets boxed, labeled by room, and loaded in order.

Loading: Items are loaded strategically with heavy pieces low and fragile items secured. Everything is strapped before the truck moves.

Unloading: At the destination, we unwrap, reassemble, and place everything exactly where you direct. Floor runners protect your new space throughout.

Every last minute move includes basic liability coverage at $0.60 per pound per item. This ensures standard reimbursement for any damages incurred during the move, following industry regulations.

WHY PEOPLE CALL US LAST MINUTE

Common Reasons for Urgent Moves

We’ve heard every version of these calls. Here are the most common.

NO-SHOW

Your Moving Company Canceled or Didn’t Show

It’s moving day and the company you booked weeks ago just called to cancel — or worse, never showed up at all. You’re packed, the lease ends today, and you need someone there within hours. We get these calls regularly and mobilize fast.

CLOSING MOVED UP

Your Real Estate Closing Date Changed

The buyer wants to close a week early. The seller agreed. Now you have days instead of weeks to get out. Our crew can be there with a full truck on short notice so the deal doesn’t fall apart because of logistics.

LEASE ISSUES

Sudden Lease Termination or Eviction Notice

Your landlord gave short notice, the lease fell through, or you need to vacate immediately for personal reasons. We don’t need a long lead time. Tell us where you’re going and we’ll get you there.

JOB RELOCATION

Employer Gave You Days to Relocate

You accepted the job or transfer and now you have a week to be in a new city. Our long distance crews handle urgent interstate relocations with dedicated trucks and compressed delivery windows.

FAMILY EMERGENCY

You Need to Move Quickly for Personal Reasons

Sometimes the reason is private and the timeline is non-negotiable. We don’t ask questions. We show up, do the job professionally, and get you into your new space as quickly as possible.

DOUBLE BOOKING

Your DIY Move Fell Through

The friends who promised to help bailed. The rental truck wasn’t available. The timeline you thought was manageable isn’t. We step in with a professional crew and handle what a DIY plan couldn’t.

WHY POSEIDON

Why Call Poseidon When Time Is Short

✓

We Don’t Charge Surge Pricing for Urgent Moves

Some companies double their rates when they know you’re desperate. We price last minute moves the same way we price any move — by crew size, time, and distance. No panic premium. No “emergency” surcharge.

✓

Our Fleet and Crew Depth Handles Short Notice

We maintain more trucks and more trained crews than we need for scheduled bookings alone. That buffer exists so we can absorb same-day and next-day requests without pulling resources from other customers.

✓

Speed Doesn’t Mean Sloppy

A tight timeline doesn’t change how we handle your residential belongings. Furniture still gets wrapped. Floors still get protected. Fragile items still get packed with care. The only thing that changes is how fast we get to your door.

✓

We Handle the Logistics You Don’t Have Time For

Building access, elevator reservations, parking permits, COI paperwork — when you’re scrambling, this stuff falls through the cracks. We coordinate with property managers on your behalf so nothing delays the move.

✓

20+ Years of Handling High-Pressure Moves

Pressure moves expose weak companies. Corners get cut, items get damaged, timelines get blown. Two decades of urgent moves have taught our crews how to work fast without compromising on protection or professionalism.

PRICING

How Much Does a Last Minute Move Cost?

Last minute moves are priced the same as any local move — hourly, based on crew size. A studio or one-bedroom typically needs two movers for 2 to 4 hours. Larger homes may need three or four and take a full day. Stairs, narrow access, and packing add-ons all factor into the total.

Get your estimate in minutes through our online quote tool, or call us directly and we’ll give you an estimate over the phone while we dispatch a crew.

MOVE SIZE	EST. COST
Studio	$300 – $600
1 Bedroom	$400 – $800
2 Bedroom	$600 – $1,200
3 Bedroom	$800 – $1,800
4+ Bedroom	$1,200 – $2,500+

RESPONSE TIME

How Quickly Can We Get There?

Here’s what the timeline looks like from the moment you call.

Call or Submit a Quote Request

Phone is fastest for same-day needs. Tell us your home size, origin and destination addresses, and when you need us. We confirm availability and crew size on the spot.

Crew Dispatched Within Hours

For same-day requests, a crew is typically dispatched within 2 to 4 hours depending on location and availability. Next-day moves are scheduled with a confirmed morning arrival window.

Walkthrough, Wrap, and Load

The crew walks through your space, confirms the plan, lays down floor protection, and starts wrapping and loading immediately. If you added packing, they handle that first.

Deliver, Set Up, and Confirm

Everything is transported, unloaded, unwrapped, and placed where you want it. Furniture gets reassembled. You do a final walkthrough to confirm everything is accounted for, and the crew heads out.

QUESTIONS

Last Minute Moving Questions Answered

In most cases, yes. If you call in the morning, we can typically have a crew at your door within 2 to 4 hours. Afternoon calls may push to early the next morning depending on crew availability. The fastest way to confirm is to call us directly at (866) 565-1516.

No. We charge the same hourly rates regardless of how far in advance you booked. Your estimate is based on crew size, how much you’re moving, and access conditions — not how urgently you need us.

That’s fine. Add packing services to your booking and our crew will pack your entire home before loading. We bring all the materials — boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap. It adds time to the job, but it means you don’t have to lift a finger.

Yes. We handle urgent commercial and office relocations the same way we handle residential — with dedicated crews who know how to break down workstations, move server equipment, and reassemble conference rooms. We schedule around your business hours, including evenings and weekends.

If your new place isn’t ready yet, we can move everything into our storage facilities and deliver it when you’re set. This is common with last minute moves where dates don’t line up.

Call (866) 565-1516 for the fastest response. Tell us your home size, addresses, and timeline — we’ll give you a number over the phone and start coordinating immediately. You can also request a quote online if you have a day or two of lead time.
