Big movers require $900+ minimums, 3-man crews, 5-hour slots. We handle fast, affordable 1-bedroom and studio moves with flat pricing. We do the small, urgent, one-item jobs big companies ignore.
Moving a few items across town? Relocating a studio apartment? Need to transport furniture from one room to another? You don’t need a full moving company with a 26-foot truck, a 4-person crew, and a $900 minimum. You need a small move service that handles exactly what you need—quickly, affordably, and without unnecessary overhead.
At Tymli Errands, we specialize in small moves and micro moves across Washington State. Whether you’re in Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Kent, Auburn, or Des Moines, we provide same-day moving services for the jobs big moving companies ignore. No 4-hour minimums. No massive trucks. Just fast, flat-rate pricing for the small moves that actually matter to you.
Why Small Moves Need a Small Move Company
Big moving companies aren’t built for small moves. Their entire business model revolves around full-house relocations—3-bedroom homes, entire apartments, multi-day packing and hauling. When you call them for a studio move or a few pieces of furniture, you’re either:
- Told they require a $700–$1,200 minimum
- Forced to book a 4+ hour time block (even if your move takes 90 minutes)
- Scheduled weeks out because you’re low priority
- Charged for a massive truck and multi-person crew you don’t need
It’s frustrating, wasteful, and expensive.
At Tymli Errands, small moves aren’t a side gig—they’re our specialty. We’ve built our entire operation around the moves big companies ignore:
- Studio apartment moves (bed, desk, dresser, boxes)
- Single-room relocations (moving one bedroom’s worth of items)
- Furniture-only moves (couch, table, chairs—no full apartment)
- College dorm moves (small loads, tight timelines)
- Marketplace pickups that need transport (buying furniture from sellers)
- Last-minute emergency moves (eviction, lease ending, sudden relocation)
We don’t see your small move as beneath us. We see it as exactly the service Washington residents need.
Flat Pricing for Small Moves (No 4-Hour Minimums)
One of the biggest frustrations with traditional moving companies is their obsession with time-based pricing and arbitrary minimums. They’ll quote you for 4 hours minimum, even if your move only takes 2 hours. They’ll charge $150/hour for a crew and truck, adding up to $600+ before you’ve even moved a single box.
At Tymli Errands, we believe in transparent, flat-rate pricing for small moves. When you call or text for a quote, we ask:
- What are you moving? (furniture items, boxes, appliances)
- Where are you moving from and to? (addresses, floors, stairs)
- When do you need to move? (same day, next day, specific time)
Based on that information, we provide a flat rate—typically $150–$450 depending on the load size and distance—with no hidden fees, no hourly traps, no surprise costs when we arrive.
Our pricing structure is simple:
- Studio or single room move (5–10 items, local): $150–$250
- Small 1-bedroom move (10–20 items, local): $250–$350
- Furniture-only move (couch, bed, table): $150–$300
- Marketplace pickup + delivery (1–3 large items): $100–$200
What we quote is what you pay. No games, no surprises.
Same-Day Availability & 2-Hour Arrival Windows
Big moving companies schedule weeks in advance. They give you vague arrival windows like “we’ll be there sometime between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.” and force you to waste your entire day waiting around.
We operate differently.
At Tymli Errands, we specialize in same-day small moves with 2-hour arrival windows. Call us in the morning, and we’ll move your studio apartment that afternoon. Text us at noon, and we’ll arrive before dinner.
We understand that small moves are often urgent:
- Your lease ends tomorrow
- You just bought furniture on Facebook Marketplace and need it delivered today
- You’re moving into a furnished apartment and only need to transport a few personal items
- You’re a college student moving out of the dorms on short notice
- You need to move one room’s worth of furniture to storage today
Whatever the reason, we’re here to help—fast.
Our service areas include:
- Seattle (Capitol Hill, Ballard, Queen Anne, Fremont, University District, West Seattle, Beacon Hill, Wallingford, Greenwood)
- Bellevue (Downtown, Crossroads, Factoria, Somerset, Eastgate)
- Renton (Renton Highlands, Kennydale, Fairwood)

- Tacoma, Federal Way, Tukwila, Burien, SeaTac, Shoreline, Kirkland
No 26-Foot Trucks, No Overpriced Crews
Traditional moving companies show up with massive 26-foot trucks and 4-person crews for jobs that require one or two people and a pickup truck. It’s overkill, inefficient, and unnecessarily expensive.
At Tymli Errands, we operate with right-sized vehicles and lean crews:
- Pickup trucks or small box trucks suited for studio and small 1-bedroom moves
- 1–2 person crews (depending on load size and item weight)
- Efficient loading and unloading—we don’t waste time or charge you for standing around
This approach allows us to:
- Navigate tight Seattle streets and narrow apartment complexes easily
- Park without blocking traffic or driveways
- Charge less because we’re not hauling unnecessary equipment
- Move faster without coordinating a large team
You’re paying for exactly what your move requires—not what a big moving company’s business model requires.

What Qualifies as a Small Move or Micro Move?
A small move typically involves:
- Studio apartments (bed, dresser, small couch, boxes)
- Single-room relocations (bedroom furniture and personal items)
- Furniture-only moves (no full apartment, just specific pieces)
- College dorm moves (bed, desk, mini fridge, clothes)
- Partial apartment moves (moving one person out of a shared apartment)
- Storage unit loading or unloading (small loads)
- Downsizing moves (moving from a 1-bedroom to a furnished senior living space)
Items we commonly move:
- Beds (twin, full, queen—disassembled if needed)
- Dressers, nightstands, desks
- Couches, loveseats, chairs
- Small tables (dining, coffee, side tables)
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware
- TVs, monitors, small electronics
- Lamps, mirrors, artwork
- Small appliances (microwaves, printers, fans)
What’s NOT a small move:
- Full 2+ bedroom apartments (we recommend a traditional moving company)
- Heavy appliances requiring specialized equipment (refrigerators, washers, dryers)
- Pianos or extremely heavy furniture (500+ lbs)
- Moves requiring packing services (we’re movers, not packers)
If you’re unsure whether your move qualifies, just text us a quick inventory. We’ll let you know immediately and provide a flat-rate quote.
Big Movers Don’t Take These Jobs—We Do
The moving industry is built around large, profitable jobs: full-house relocations, cross-country moves, commercial moves. Those jobs are worth their time. Small moves? Not so much—at least not for big companies with high overhead.
That’s why when you call a major moving company for a studio move or a furniture-only relocation, they either:
- Require a $900+ minimum to make it “worth their time”
- Schedule you weeks out because you’re low priority
- Overcharge you for services you don’t need (massive truck, 4-person crew, 5-hour block)
- Turn you away entirely
At Tymli Errands, small moves are our bread and butter. We’ve structured our entire operation to make these jobs fast, affordable, and accessible. We don’t see your studio move as a burden; we see it as exactly the service Washington residents need.
We’re proud to be the company that says yes when everyone else says no.
