What a local move with us includes

A local move sounds simple until move day, when an hourly crew has every reason to go slow. We price local moves as one flat, all-inclusive figure instead, so a jammed lift or a long carry is our problem, not a line on your bill. As the flat-rate Minnesota moving crew we cover the whole metro, and most local jobs run start to finish inside a single day.

One local crew, both addresses, no handover

The same crew loads your old place and unloads the new one, so nothing is handed between teams and nobody arrives without the plan. Whether you are moving within Minneapolis, across to St. Paul, or out to Plymouth, it is one foreman and one accountable crew from the first carton to the last.

One flat price with no hourly clock on the day
The same uniformed crew at both addresses
Floor and doorway protection down before anything moves
Bluedolly truck downtown new

The other services we bring to a local move

Add any of these to a local move and it stays one crew, one flat figure.

The full-house version of a local move, every room packed, carried and placed by the same crew.

HOW A LOCAL MOVE RUNS

Our local moving process

A local move is short on distance but not on detail.
So access, timing, price and crew are all agreed before the date rather than improvised on the day.
The figure and the schedule reach you in writing well ahead of time.
Then move day is simply the carrying, done once and done right.

Walkthrough and written quote

We look at the job first, on video or in person: how many rooms, how the stairs and doors run at both ends, where the truck can stand. Then one flat, all-inclusive figure, in writing.

Your move plan, locked in

Approve the figure and the date is held. We book any lifts, confirm insurance certificates and set the crew size to the job so it finishes in the day.

Move day, start to finish

One uniformed crew, on time, floors and frames protected before anything is lifted. They load, drive, unload and place. What you approved is what you pay.

The Twin Cities areas we cover

WHY BLUE DOLLY FOR A LOCAL MOVE

Why choose our local movers

A studio across the block and a four-bedroom across the suburb are different jobs, and we quote each on its own rather than starting an hourly meter and hoping.

Licensed, Bonded, Covered

Federal and state authority on file, with cargo and liability cover carried on every job.

One Price, Fixed

One agreed figure, put in writing before we start, and it does not budge on move day.

We Arrive When We Say

Your arrival slot is a commitment, not an estimate, at the pickup and at the drop-off.

Our Own Trucks And Gear

Trucks, dollies, straps and padding that we own, maintain ourselves and check before loading.

Reachable Any Hour

Someone picks up whenever you call, whether it is a fresh booking or a last-minute change.

Backed By Our Promise

We track it and we publish it, and a 98% satisfaction score is the bar we hold ourselves to.

What local-move customers tell us

These land on our Google profile once each job is settled, unedited, from people who had our crew in their home for a local move.

The movers were fantastic! Wrapped all the furniture so well.
There was a problem with the storage locker and they handled it perfectly well on their own time and patience.
I would highly recommend them to do any move large or small.
And 79 years of age they also took care of me.
I couldn’t thank them enough!!!

Sam was congenial, professional and prompt!

Derek and Marcus were absolutely AMAZING with our move! They disassembled and reassembled furniture, helped figure out the best way to set up our bedroom, lifted heavy furniture (the dining room table is a beast) and did it all without complaint. We moved from the twin cities to about 3 hours north, so I was concerned about price, but it turned out to be extremely reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BLUE DOLLY MOVING!!! Thanks guys!!!

Sam and Jacob were here to unload furniture. They were very careful and very hard-working young men! I would recommend them highly!

Local moving questions, answered

What does a local move usually cost?
Volume, distance within the metro and the services you add decide it, quoted as one flat figure after a walkthrough. Wrapping, floor protection and fuel are already inside that number, and no hourly clock runs on the day.
Why flat-rate instead of hourly for a local move?
Because hourly billing pays a crew to be slow. A flat figure agreed in writing means a slow lift, heavy traffic or a long carry is on us, and the number you approve is the number you pay.
Will my local move finish in one day?
Almost always. We size the crew to the job at the walkthrough so a typical local move loads, drives and unloads inside a single day, and we tell you upfront on the rare job that needs more.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Blue Dolly Moving & Storage operates under USDOT 3928585, MnDOT 384454 and MC 1521934, and we carry full cargo and liability coverage on every move. You are welcome to verify our authority before you book.
Do you also handle moves that leave the metro?
Yes. When a job runs past the Twin Cities it becomes a long distance move or a cross country move, still one crew and still a firm price, just quoted for the distance.
Can you move me at short notice?
Often, yes. We keep capacity for last minute moves, so a date that moves up by a few days can usually still be covered, with packing and storage added if you need them.
