Advice for a Seamless University of Florida Campus Move

With summer quickly approaching, much of the University of Florida campus community will soon be relocating for a variety of reasons. Whether you’re a student returning home for a seasonal job or internship, heading to a faraway land to explore opportunities abroad, or venturing to a completely new destination to start a career or further your studies after graduation, your focus is about to change from cramming for finals to packing for your move.

Of course, it’s not just University of Florida students who are on the move. UF faculty have summer homes in other states, take extended breaks for sabbaticals, move to more accommodating locales in the Jacksonville area, and relocate to the region to start new positions on campus.

No matter what your relocation needs entail, the professional campus movers at A-Turner Moving & Storage have some advice to make your upcoming move seamless and stress free. We’ve been a family-owned and operated company since 1972, and have completed nearly every type of campus move you can image. If fact, we are the preferred movers for the University of Florida!

Get Creative with a Plan

You’ve spent all semester writing research papers and working through syllabi, so you know how to create and adhere to a plan—although a time-tested moving plan is a bit different. Professional moving companies create detailed move plans, starting with an in-home or on-campus estimate to determine your needs and budget.

From there, a moving professional can help you select the services that are the best fit for your situation. From full-service moving or fragile-only packing to short- or long-term storage solutions, an expert move coordinator will come up with a game plan to get your belongings to their new location safely and securely.

Nothing Beats Full-Service Moving

Life as a college student or faculty member is extremely demanding, particularly toward the end of the semester. If you’re already feeling rushed to complete assignments, study for final exams, and turn in grades, full-service moving professionals can help alleviate some of the stress by taking care of all of your moving needs.

Full-service moving typically entails:

  • A Free In-Home or On-Campus Estimate
  • Full-Service or Fragile-Only Packing
  • Free Stretch Wrapping of Furniture
  • Doorway and Floor Protection
  • Free Online Shipment Tracking
  • Third-Party Services (such as assembly/disassembly of items)
  • Valuation Insurance Options
  • Short- and Long-Term Storage

Enlist Specialized Movers for Your Electronics & Appliances

If you purchased your home theater system during your time as a college student, chances are you’ve never had to worry about moving it. Moving TVs, computers and accessories, other high-tech gadgets, and bulky appliances is definitely a massive endeavor—and a job best left to the pros.

Using state-of-the-art technology and precision planning, specialized movers can ensure that your equipment and appliances are custom packed and crated, safely transported, reassembled following delivery, and much more. Equipment moving doesn’t get any easier than that!

Consider Storage as an Option

Are you planning to return to the University of Florida campus next year and need somewhere to store your belongings for the summer? Secure short and long-term storage facilities can keep your furniture and other belongings safe while you are away—for as long as you need.
