I slept an average of 3 hours a night finals week. Without Dorm Room Movers I would have been too busy moving to get even that meager amount. The result: All A's and safe easy storage.

Our son goes to school in a city that is hundreds of miles from home, so we needed an affordable summer storage solution and Dorm Room Movers is ideal. Everything is simple. From scheduling pickups and dropoffs to getting packing materials, it's been a great service from the get-go.
