Moving is a challenge, but with on-demand moving services, you can afford yourself the opportunity to enjoy more of the exciting new adventure ahead and less of the struggle to move your furniture or clean out your old place. Below are five great on-demand moving services which can help you reduce stress levels during your next move:
ZippGo Moving Boxes
Rather than struggle with heavy cardboard boxes that are not only unwieldy, arrive flattened and in need of tape, and are prone to damage en route, you can turn to ZippGo to rent plastic moving boxes. Their green moving boxes are delivered assembled so you can begin packing boxes right away. When you have moved and finished unpacking, simply next the boxes in one another and ZippGo will pickup the boxes from your new place.
No longer will you have to deal with breaking fingernails trying to rip the tape from cardboard boxes before you collapse them and then watch an unsightly brown pile grow in the corner of your new living room. ZippGo boxes stack nicely on top of one another as you pack, reducing the risk of damage and saving you loads of space. They have attached interlocking lids which means you will never need tape and of course makes packing a breeze. In addition to moving boxes San Francisco residents can also order green moving supplies to be delivered with their order.
Lugg
Lugg as their name suggests, will lug your furniture for you, helping to move small furniture in many situations.
With their service you need only set up your pickup location, add a photo of the item or items you need moved, and enjoy a cup of tea as two movers and a moving truck find their way to your address instantly. But they do more than just move your belongings from your home. If you purchase items from Costco, IKEA, or local furniture stores you can hire them to pick it up in 30 minutes or less and deliver it to your new home. If you sell your stuff on Craigslist, you can have your furniture moved across the busy San Francisco streets without having to step foot outside.

This company will help you circumvent tickets for failing to acquire moving permits. You can instead have a space reserved for your moving vehicle on the big day, streamlining your move and reducing your stress levels.
You can request your permit in less than one minute with the MovingPermits simple website. Let their company stand in line and fill out your forms. Let them make arrangements for temporary “no parking” signs placed around your home during moving day. All you have to do is show up on moving day and park in front of your building!
This is particularly important for San Francisco residents, as the city’s SFMTA enforces a minimum lead time between 5 and 8 business days. Your requests have to be made 8 business days in advance in order to guarantee that it can happen. This lead time is impractical at times, especially for movers, but it is required by the city and the city does not count the start date for your move, the day your move is submitted, weekends, or holidays. That said, keeping track of these days and the correct filing time is made much easier when you have this service by your side. For the DIYselfers, you can go to the SFMTA and get your own San Francisco moving permit.
