Studio apartments and small 1 bedroom moves don’t require 26-foot trucks, 3-man crews, or 4-hour minimums. Yet that’s what traditional moving companies try to sell you—because their business model isn’t built for small moves.
TymLi Errands specializes exclusively in studio to studio moves, small apartment relocations, and micro-moves across Washington State. We’re the affordable small move WA solution that actually wants your business.
If you’ve tried hiring movers for a studio apartment or 1 bedroom move, you’ve probably encountered:
- “Our minimum is 4 hours at $150/hour” – forcing you to pay $600+ for 90 minutes of actual work
- “We can schedule you in three weeks” – because small moves aren’t profitable enough to prioritize
- “That’s too small for us” – turning away the job entirely
- Hidden fees – truck charges, fuel surcharges, stair fees that double the quote
Big moving companies are designed for whole-house relocations. Small apartments don’t fit their model, so they either overcharge or refuse the job.
That’s exactly why we exist.
What We Mean by “Small Moves”
Our sweet spot includes:
- Studio apartment moves – full studio relocations or partial moves
- 1 bedroom apartment moves – complete moves or just heavy furniture
- Micro-moves – moving into/out of shared housing, in-law units, tiny homes
- Partial moves – the furniture only while you handle boxes
- Single-room relocations – dorm rooms, guest rooms, home offices
- Marketplace furniture additions – delivering purchased items to your existing space
If your move doesn’t require a moving van designed for a 4-bedroom house, you’re our ideal client.
Why Small Moves Need Specialized Movers
Right-Sized Equipment We don’t show up with oversized trucks that cost $200/hour to operate. Our vehicles match the job size, which directly impacts your cost. Less overhead = lower prices.
No Mandatory Time Minimums If your studio move takes 90 minutes, you shouldn’t be forced to pay for 4 hours. We charge for the actual work required, not arbitrary minimums.
Specialized Efficiency We’ve perfected the art of small moves. We know exactly how to load a studio apartment efficiently, how to navigate tight Seattle apartment building staircases, and how to complete your move without wasting time.
Same-Day Availability Small moves often happen fast—lease ending early, sudden opportunity, relationship changes. We offer same-day service because we understand urgency.
Flat Pricing & Same-Day Studio Moves
TYMLI ERRANDS provides upfront flat-rate pricing based on:
- What you’re moving (furniture, boxes, special items)
- Distance between addresses
- Stairs, elevators, or access challenges
- Timeline (same-day, next-day, scheduled)
You get a clear price before we arrive. No hourly rates that mysteriously stretch. No “oops, there’s stairs so we’re adding $150.”

What “Affordable Small Move WA” Really Means
Affordable doesn’t mean cheap quality. It means fair pricing that matches the work required.
A studio apartment move shouldn’t cost $900 because that’s what movers charge for 3-bedroom houses. We price based on reality:
- Studio moves typically require 1-2 people
- Load time is 30-60 minutes depending on volume
- Transport time varies by distance
- Unload time mirrors load time
Add it up honestly, and you get fair pricing—usually 50-70% less than corporate moving companies quote for the same job.
Big Movers Don’t Take These Jobs — We Do
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.
Corporate moving companies are built for volume and maximum revenue per job. They need to justify the massive truck, the crew of three, the overhead of insurance and branding and dispatch systems.
Your studio apartment doesn’t generate enough revenue to interest them—unless they can artificially inflate the price with minimums and hourly rates.
We’re the opposite. We built our entire business model around small moves. This is what we do, and we’re profitable because we’re efficient—not because we’re overcharging.
