In our continuing effort to always improve upon and exceed our company's customer service goals, the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers are now proud to offer non-smoking crews! We understand that welcoming movers into your home whom you've never met can be stressful for some customers. We also understand that our customers who have allergies or adverse reactions to the smell of cigarette smoke would prefer to have movers who don't smoke or smell of cigarettes. That's why we've enacted this policy to make sure your moving experience is a pleasant one.

Have You Considered Move Cheap® For Your Office Move?




At the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we know that moving can be stressful. It can become even more stressful for a business owner who needs to move their office. Between managing your day to day operations, and planning a move for your company, the task can easily become overwhelming. That's why we've created our Office Moving Service. Our number one goal is to move your office quickly and efficiently, with as little disturbance to your operations as possible, for a price the Cincinnati Tri-State area has come to expect. Unlike normal residential moves, business owners need their offices up and running again as quickly as possible. There are special needs like moving files, organization, and often times, the disassembling and reassembling of office cubicles. We understand your needs and we want to earn your business. Utilizing our Office Moving Service will give you the expertise to make your business transition a smooth and manageable process.


Q: How does your Office Moving Service Work?

  • Similar to our standard moving labor service, our business clients provide their own rental moving trucks.
  • When our Office Movers arrive at their scheduled time, they will do a "schematic preparation" to make sure the layout of your cubicle system is put together the same at your new office.
  • Your movers will then begin labeling items and start the disassembling process.
  • Once that has been completed, your movers will load the truck, and you're off to your new location where our movers will unload and reassemble your office furniture.


Q: What are your office moving rates?

The rates for our office moving service are as follows:

2 Movers: $60.00 per hour
3 Movers: $90.00 per hour
4 Movers: $120.00 per hour

There is a 3 hour minimum for our office moving services.
Each move does incur a $34.00 travel fee.


Q: How do I get started?

Because no office is the same, and nearly every business requires different needs, an estimator will be required to come to your office to create a package tailored specifically for your business.

Contact us today so that we can create a moving package for you!


Q: Why should I choose Move Cheap® for our office move?

  • Business owners know what it's like to work with a budget, and our budget minded moving services give you more for your money.
  • Office moves are a very specialized service, and often times require special tools and equipment that we provide at no additional charge.
  • Items like cubicles require specialized and experienced personnel to disassemble and reassemble correctly. We give you the movers to do the job right.

Moving Tip of the Week: Scam Movers

Recently, a customer rented a U-Haul truck from our Move Cheap® retail location in Cincinnati, but they also hired an individual from an ad they posted pretending to be a moving company. After helping the customer move, this scam-mover offered to take the U-Haul back for them, but what he really did was return to the customer's home to rob the customer, their neighbor, and several other people over a 400 mile trip. Fortunately this individual was caught, but as a legal moving labor company in Cincinnati, we want to pass along the signs to recognizing a scam mover:

  • The movers don't wear uniforms: Real moving companies care about their reputation and go the extra mile to be sure their movers are provided with uniforms. If movers show up to your home without a uniform, turn them away immediately.
  • The movers refuse to provide proof of insurance: If the mover you hire can't or refuses to provide proof of insurance, odds are they aren't a professional company. At the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we provide insurance to protect our customers and our movers. In fact, all of our insurance documents are provided at our retail location for viewing and verification.
  • The Movers can't provide proof of Workman's Compensation: This is very important! If an individual poses as a mover, and then gets hurt in your home, they could sue you! At Move Cheap®, all of our movers are protected with Workman's Comp so you won't need to worry!
  • The Movers use a cell phone or don't have a physical office location: These days, many individuals work for themselves from home. But if your movers can't provide you a real physical location for their office, how can you find them in the event of an insurance claim? At Move Cheap® in Cincinnati, we have a real physical location that you can visit. Not a cell phone, a UPS address, a PO Box, or home office, but a real physical store located here in Cincinnati, Ohio.
  • The Movers don't bring professional tools with them: Every moving job is different and requires different types of moving tools to complete correctly. At the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we always bring the right tools to get the job done!
  • The Movers ask YOU how to pack the truck: Sometimes the signs of a scam mover won't occur until after they've arrived. If at any point your mover asks you how to pack the truck, ask them to leave immediately! It's far better to leave your move incomplete then to have all of your belongings damaged by someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

Keep in mind that you can avoid the consequences of hiring a scam mover by calling us, your Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, to get the job done for you safely and professionally. From all of us at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip Of The Week: Moving Glass

Whether a table top, china shelves, or a wall mirror, glass will always be a popular furniture item among customers. As a Cincinnati moving company since 2005, Move Cheap® has moved all styles of glass pieces for thousands of Cincinnati families. Often times, customers aren't sure how to prepare these glass items for their moving day, or even what to expect from the company that moves them. At Move Cheap®, we want to make sure your glass items make it from your old home to your new home. Here are a few tips to make moving glass items a cinch:

  • Make sure that all loose glass items have been removed from their matching furniture pieces. Examples of these can be glass shelves from china cabinets, table inserts from coffee tables, and even light-bulbs from lamps.
  • Mirrors and picture frames should be boxed or crated for maximum safety. These types of boxes can be purchased from your local U-Haul dealer or from your Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers. Corner inserts or bubble wrap are also recommended.
  • When placing items like mirrors into your moving truck, the glass should be stood standing up. Picture frames and mirrors should never be laid flat. Moving trucks have a tendency to constantly vibrate and bounce frequently. Laying glass pieces flat leaves them prone to breaking and shattering easily.
There you have it! A few tips to help get your move underway. As always, the movers at Move Cheap® come complete with this knowledge to help you have a successful move.

From all of us at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: From the Mouth of the Movers

Often, the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers offer tips and advice to help your moving labor services run a lot smoother on your moving today. We decided to change it up a little this week and ask our seniority movers for personal advice that they'd offer to our Cincinnati Tri-State customers. Here's what they had to say:

Shane: The right size truck

"Renting the right size truck is key. Sometimes we accept a last minute job and arrive at the job site to find the customer is moving a four bedroom house with a 14ft U-Haul, but is moving cross country. These turn into bad situations because we can't fit everything into that small of a truck. You can always call our office, and one of the managers or staff will help you decide which truck size is best for your move."


Christian: Home Owner Assistance

"I've been very fortunate to find myself on several jobs with incredibly nice customers. But there are times when a customer can't stand to watch us do all the work, and they do nothing. Some customers then try to help by carrying boxes, or stacking small furniture items in the truck. Believe me, I appreciate the help, but you should really leave the work to your movers. That's what you've paid us to do. We have been trained and are experienced with how to pack your truck properly to prevent damage. Some customers invite their friends over to help also, and then suddenly there are 20 people walking in and out of a moving truck with no real direction on how it should be loaded. This can cause damage to your goods, and we want to make sure that's prevented at all times."


Jacob: Dust & Knick-Knacks

"My crew prides itself on providing an efficient, quick, and safe moving experience. My advice to a customer who wants their move to go as quickly and smoothly as possible is to clear off all of their furniture of dust and knick-knacks. Nothings worse than moving an armoire that is covered in years of dust and dirt, and sometimes, pet hair. As your tilting it, the dust get's in your eyes, nose, and mouth and causes you to reset the object to brush it off and clean off your face. Knick-Knacks can be even worse. Consider this: If we have to clear off every piece of furniture in your home to move it, that time begins to add up. And then if those same knick-knacks aren't boxed, we have to carry them out of your old home, and back into your new home, which creates a considerable amount of trips."


We hope these tips can help offer you a better moving day. From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!
