Hire Movers in
Memphis, TN

Yes, many local movers on MovingPlace offer packing services as an add-on, but know that it will come with an extra cost. If you opt for this, you’ll get a professional team to carefully pack your belongings using the materials you provide. It’s a great way to save time and make the overall move smoother, especially if you're on a tight schedule.

Traffic on highways like I-240 and I-40 near downtown can be especially heavy during peak hours (7 am–9 am and 4 pm–6 pm). Roads like Poplar Avenue are also congested during these times. Movers on our platform are familiar with these traffic patterns and can schedule around them, but planning your move between mid-morning and mid-afternoon can help minimize delays.

Typically, booking movers in Memphis about 14 days before your move can help you secure your ideal moving company and time slot. Scheduling even further in advance during the busy seasons (think summer or around holidays) improves your chances of getting the best movers at the best price, but we recommend that you book as early as possible, no matter when you’re moving.

In most cases, residential moves in Memphis don't require parking permits. However, if you plan to park a moving truck on public streets, especially congested areas or where parking is limited, you may need to get a temporary parking permit. Some full-service movers take care of this for you, but not all, so be sure to ask about the scope of their services when you book. For labor-only moves, be sure to check local parking rules on the City of Memphis Permits Office website.

A full-service move typically means professional movers handle loading your furniture and boxes, transporting everything in their truck, and unloading at your new home. Some movers also include basic furniture disassembly and reassembly as part of the service. You can add extra services like packing or unpacking if you want, but these usually come with additional fees.
