SHORT-NOTICE MOVES
Last-Minute & Same-Day Moving Help
When plans fall apart on short notice, call us and we will do everything we can to fit you in.
Moves do not always go to plan. A closing gets pushed back, a lease ends sooner than expected, a job starts next week, or the movers you booked cancel on you. Suddenly you need a crew fast, and every hour spent calling around is an hour you do not have.
A & M Friendly Movers takes last-minute and short-notice moves. We cannot promise a crew on any specific day, but when you call, an owner or our office will call back within 15 minutes between 8am and 8pm and do everything we can to fit you in. When a crew is available, you get the same background-checked, drug-tested W-2 employees we send on every job, never day laborers pulled in to fill a gap.
If your closing slips, we can hold your belongings overnight, locked on the truck, or arrange short-term storage until your new place is ready. We are family-owned, run by owners Matthew Treharn and Amber Hallaman, and we never charge a rescheduling fee. Request a free quote or, if time is short, call 717-434-6711 now.

Why People Call A & M When Time Is Short
A Fast Call Back
When you are in a rush, waiting on a call center is the last thing you need. An owner or our office calls back within 15 minutes between 8am and 8pm. We ask the right questions quickly and tell you honestly what we can do and when.
Honest About Availability
We will never promise a crew we do not have. If a crew is available, we will get you on the schedule. If not, we will tell you straight and work with you on the soonest option, so you can plan instead of guessing. Clear answers help you make fast decisions.
Help When Closings Slip
A delayed closing can leave your belongings with nowhere to go. We can hold your items overnight, locked on the truck, or arrange short-term storage until you get the keys. Your things stay secure while the paperwork catches up. Longer delays can be covered with short-term storage, including climate-controlled options.
No Rescheduling Fees
Last-minute moves tend to shift again. We never charge a rescheduling fee, for any reason. If your date or time needs to change, call us and we will work out a new plan without adding a penalty to an already stressful week. Plans change, and we understand that.
The Same Trusted Crews
A rush job does not mean a rushed crew. Everyone we send is a background-checked, drug-tested W-2 employee of A & M Friendly Movers. We never use subcontractors or day laborers, even when the schedule is tight. You get trained people who know how we expect your home and belongings to be treated, no matter how fast the job came together.
Packing Help if You Need It
Short notice often means the boxes are not packed yet. We offer full or partial packing and sell boxes and moving supplies. Tell us how much is left to pack, and we will plan the crew and time to get it done. Getting packed does not have to be the thing that holds up your move.
Short-Notice Situations We Help With
Closing Delays
When a closing moves at the last minute, you may need to be out before you can get in. We can hold your belongings overnight, locked on the truck, or arrange short-term storage with pickup and delivery when you are ready.
Lease Endings
Leases sometimes end sooner than expected, or a new place opens up quickly. Call us with your dates and addresses, and we will do everything we can to get a crew scheduled before your deadline when one is available.
Canceled Movers
If another mover cancels or does not show, you need a crew you can count on. Call us right away. We will be honest about our availability and, when a crew is open, send our own W-2 employees to get you moved.
Quick Packing and Supplies
Running out of time to pack? We offer full or partial packing, and we sell boxes, tape, and other supplies. Our crew can pack the rooms you have not gotten to and load everything in the same visit.
Last-Minute Moving FAQs
Sometimes. Same-day moves depend on whether a crew is available, so we cannot guarantee it. Call 717-434-6711 as early as you can. An owner or our office will call you back within 15 minutes between 8am and 8pm, and we will do everything we can to fit you in.
Local moves are priced hourly by crew size, and long-distance moves get a binding estimate. The total depends on how much you have and how far it is going. Request a free estimate or call us, and we will give you a clear number before you book. Local moves are billed hourly in 15-minute increments with a 3-hour minimum. The clock starts when our crew arrives at your home, not when we leave the office, and stops when we finish at your final destination. Disassembly, reassembly, and wrapping and padding all of your furniture are included at no additional cost.
We can hold your belongings overnight, locked on the truck, if a closing slips. If the delay is longer, we offer short-term storage with pickup and delivery, including climate-controlled storage. Let us know as soon as you hear about a delay so we can plan.
Have both addresses, your moving date and any deadlines, the size of your home, and anything special like stairs, a piano, or a gun safe. Tell us how much is already packed. The more we know up front, the faster we can tell you what is possible.
Call us and we will see what is possible. Our long-distance moves come with a binding estimate, your own dedicated truck, the same W-2 crew door to door, and a guaranteed delivery date once booked. Availability depends on crews and trucks at the time you call.
We take a $100 deposit when you book, applied to your move. Local and hourly jobs are paid at the end of the day, and long-distance moves are paid once the truck is loaded. We accept cards, personal checks, and certified checks, but not cash.
