| - So. We had friends who rented a Zippy shell as they were moving in with family for 3-4 months waiting on their new house to become available and packed it themselves. They paid a delivery fee 89$ and a monthly fee 169$ and it was dropped off, loaded over the course of a day, and zippy shell hauled it off. Months later when my husband and I called to do the same thing, we were offered movers. Same price mentioned above plus 20$ extra a month for 5k of insurance and 299$ for movers to move and load our zippy shell (which we thought was an add on we preferred as opposed to our friends). one 15 ft zippy shell should work but he was open and willing to bring us a second one if need be. There was only one disassembled king sized bed, one 3 piece sectional, one disassembled crib, one dresser, one chest, two nightstands, one oversized chair and ottoman, and a good amount of boxes. Upon arrival, they informed us we'd need two units. Mind you, first unit out the door was 577( delivery - 89 , insurance 20, first month 169, and movers 299. The movers told us one zippy shell holds two rooms of furniture like just the nursery and the master, not a 2 bedroom home. So we call HQ and he tells us it will be another 575 for another storage trailer. Luckily, for the well paid movers, they are paid by the amount of trailers they fill so while it may seem like the price is strong, they are the best movers I've ever seen. The movers provide a white glove service if you will, really hard working men. They moved all of our stuff into both trailers in 2.5 hours BUT you mentally run through the anguish of renting your own truck, a self storage etc for all of the leftover unpacked things that don't fit into the first one and the convenience outweighs the cost. fortunately when I looked at what we'd be paying monthly for two zippy shells, a month for 30 feet by 6'4 feet of storage is average. We could've hired a different moving company and rented self storage it would've been harder on our bodies and our wallets. But I will say. Because all of our belongings are now safely wrapped inside a zippy shell and at their warehouse, I will still utilize their movers for moving into our new house when we're ready to unload both zippy shells.
As for their movers - 10 out of 10
Their cost is fair so if you aren't a fan you can do your research but you won't find much better and it was done fast and well.
