Moving in Surprise
From June through September, crews start at dawn and stop by early afternoon. Anything wax-, candle- or vinyl-based should ride in a climate-controlled section, not a standard trailer. A city this size means both kinds of job in Surprise: buildings that need paperwork and elevator slots, and neighbourhoods where the truck simply parks at the door. The closest market we also cover is Glendale, 10 miles out.
A move between Surprise and the rest of Arizona stays with one company from the first box to the last. Nothing is handed to a carrier you did not agree to.

Which Surprise ZIP codes do you cover?
85374, 85378, 85379, 85387. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.

Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Peoria, AZ — 10 mi, 1 day; Glendale, AZ — 10 mi, 1 day; Phoenix, AZ — 20 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Maricopa County?
Yes. Surprise is what people search for, but crews run throughout Maricopa County and the surrounding towns.
What is the busiest season for moves in Surprise?
