PRICING
Moving Services is billable. For most requests, customers will only be billed for the hours of labor provided by our crew. We do not charge for the use of our equipment, vehicles or fuel.
If specialty equipment that we don’t already have is needed, we can likely help you coordinate getting what is needed. All costs associated with renting or purchasing special equipment to complete your project will be charged to your department via the chartfield number provided on the work order submitted.
Frequently Asked Questions
We charge $52 per person per hour during our normal shift hours (e.g. a crew of 3 movers will cost $156 per hour). Labor hours outside of our normal shift will be billed at $65 per person per hour. Most jobs will have a minimum of a 1-hour charge. For larger jobs that require more time, we can adjust our billing to ½ hour increments.
We operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Our schedule can fill up quickly so we encourage customers to submit their requests at least two weeks before the date their work is needed. For last minute requests, we may try to make adjustments to accommodate; however, we also try to avoid impacting customers who have already had their work scheduled.
We move all kinds of items from all kinds of departments. We’ve moved items that range from cardboard boxes and office furniture to totem poles and rocket engines.
Yes. We can work with departments that require pickups and deliveries at facilities located off campus. Scheduling our crew to work away from campus typically requires considerable time on our schedule and should be planned for with as much advance notice as possible.
Moving Services requires that a Customer Request be submitted on CIS by clicking here. You may also contact dispatch at 801-581-7221
No. We do not provide customers these services. Since the closure of University General Stores, departments must be responsible for procuring their own moving boxes and packing materials.
Our team can remove your fridge, freezer or other refrigerated equipment before the freon is drained. After we collect your equipment we will deliver it to the HVAC shop to have the freon properly evacuated before the equipment is scrapped.
We can sign your retirement forms for broken refrigerated equipment that is not being sent to Surplus. For items that we deliver to Surplus on your behalf, we cannot provide a signature. It will be up to your department to ensure you receive a signed copy of the RT form.
IMPORTANT SCHEDULING NOTE:
Campus safety is our top priority. Moving Services will occasionally be required to adjust our schedule to tend to emergencies and other critical issues on campus. Our crew members are part of a larger crew that works on managing road conditions such as plowing snow in winter months and excavation projects related to repairing/restoring critical campus utility services. Storms and other urgent issues that arise unexpectedly may require additional manpower that may ultimately affect the moving crew’s ability to keep previously scheduled work.
