Short-Notice Apartment Moves
A room or apartment that has to move this week, with stairs and parking planned despite the rush.

Last-Minute Moving
When a date moves up, a closing shifts or another company cancels, UnBox checks crew availability quickly and gives you a straight answer — not a runaround. Short-notice moves come down to who's free, so a fast call gets you a real quote and, when a crew is available, careful handling that isn't rushed just because the booking is.

How it works
A last-minute move lives or dies on availability, so the fastest path is a quick call: we check which crews are free and give you a straight yes or no for your date rather than leaving you hanging. When we can take it, nothing about the handling changes — blankets, straps, dollies and careful loading stay standard, and you still get a real quote before the crew rolls. We don't promise a guaranteed same-day slot we can't control.

Pricing
A short-notice move runs on the same hourly rate as a planned one — availability is the main factor, not a last-minute surcharge. What you pay depends on the crew and time required, how much is moving, the distance, and the stairs, elevator and parking at each end. You always see the quote before we start.
