Small movers/one item movers.

[purpless77.livejournal.com]

My best friend is looking for someone to help her move a bureau. I looked in the moving tags and gave her the few suggestions I found. She contacted "man with a van" but they're too expensive for just a one item move. They gave her a higher quote then their site says. She contacted the "guy with a truck" Stephan. But his truck is unavailable for the next few days. Does anyone know of anything similar?
She said she looked into a few moving companies around but they were more then "man with a van". Not sure exactly what companies though.

I had a great guy help me move a bunch of stuff a month ago - $40 for an hour of moving heavy things in his pickup. His name is Nathan and he had an ad up in the Craigslist "labor/move" section, not sure if he still does. His email is mystereid_5 AT yahoo DOT com

What happens if this guy gets injured on your property?

If he does not have insurance and all, you need to consider the risks involved...

craigslist?

I'm sure there are a lot of people with trucks or vans looking an odd job or twon though nvidia99999 is right-you might want to consider the risk.

I've always found the best is to offer all your friends (engineers or bouncers are especially desirable) free beer for help...

Not sure if it's an option, but maybe a (big) Zipcar and a friend or two?

I used this guy: www.expressDeliveryVan.com for a dresser and bed-frame move from Winter Hill to Davis Square. We did the labor together, in his van. He's a careful mover and did a great job.

I have renter's insurance with liability coverage.

Yeah, there's a ziptruck over towards Porter that I've used for this sort of thing.

That should cover it!

it's only $20 to rent a van if you can round up people to shove it in there... although i've never actually gone through Uhaul and all those companies!

good luck :)

Can't find an email on this site?

[laryu.livejournal.com]

That's not the best website in the world, eh? His name is Mike and his email is fastmoves-at-gmail.com. I can probably find his phone #, as well, if you'd like it.
