Introduction

UniMovers is a one-of-a-kind local, labor-only Cedar Rapids moving company operated completely by college students and recent graduates. We serve Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and the greater Iowa area with affordable rates (Check our website). Insurance is always included in our moves at no additional charge. We will never try to up-sell you, we just aim to provide a positive moving experience for your residential, commercial, or in-home move. Instead of providing you with a moving truck, we provide you with hard-working, driven college students. With our service, you can save money and time, while supporting the working student! With our affordable service, you get the truck, we cover the labor, and you save the money.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

We do charge a travel fee for any location further than 40 miles driving. We recommend you check out our website to use our travel fee calculator.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Whether booking through Thumbtack, or anywhere else, you will need to fill out a booking request on our website. Do this ASAP so we can ensure you get a spot on our calendar. Once submitted, we'll schedule your movers and contact you once we're all set. Our movers will arrive at location to help you with whatever you need and once finished, they'll walk you through our payment portal where you can enter your credit card information at the end. You pay ONLY after the job is finished.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

We've been in business since 2019, have served thousands and have a 5-star rating by hundreds of clients. Check us out on google!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

A friend of mine in college recommended I start to make some extra money on the side while in school, so I started with deliveries and was encouraged by customers to switch to a labor-based service. Now we provide all sorts of labor-based services and work with mobile storage companies to provide full-service moving.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We work with companies, people moving homes, and folks trying to renovate their home. Essentially if you need help moving things, we've got you covered! We also do events!

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Every year we work with the Downtown Iowa City District to set-up and tear down for their annual Oktoberfest and the Iowa City Block Party.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

These workers are going to be going through your house, likely around your family. Hiring us you know you're hiring caring students working their way through college. With other companies you're not really sure what you're going to get.
