How do I book a move with Spartan?

Booking takes a few emails and no money up front. You request a quote, reply that you want to go ahead, and we confirm your date with an arrival window. Then you send your addresses and sign online.

1. Request a quote. Send your date, pickup and drop-off zip codes, home size in bedrooms and square feet, and whether you want packing help. The quote form asks for exactly this.
2. Read your quote. It arrives by email with the hourly rate, crew size, minimum, what is included and payment terms.
3. Reply to proceed. We confirm the reservation for your date with an ETA window.
4. Send the details. Full name, email, and the full pickup and drop-off addresses so we can complete the work order.
5. Sign online. The confirmation email has a link for an electronic signature.
6. Final confirmation. We check in with you 3 days before the move, and send a reminder the day before.
7. Moving day. The crew calls about 30 minutes before arriving.

Long-distance moves follow a different schedule: half at pickup, half at delivery.

Mention anything unusual right away, such as a piano, a heavy safe, or a building that needs a certificate of insurance. For items over about 300 pounds, a photo helps David confirm the plan. Our moving checklist lays out what to do in the weeks before the truck arrives. Once you are booked, the day before the move is a good time to clear a path to the door and set aside anything you plan to carry yourself, such as medications, documents and valuables.
