WARNING: What you're about to discover could save your sanity, your parents' backs, and potentially thousands in damaged electronics and lost security deposits during the upcoming MSU move-out chaos.
Only 50 37 slots left
Let's get specific about what you actually get for $397:
Professional load out and load in - by trained, insured moving specialists
Transportation from your dorm/apartment - no rental trucks needed
4 full months of secure storage - in climate-controlled facilities
Delivery to your new residence - when you return for fall semester
Basic insurance coverage - for peace of mind
All necessary equipment - from dollies to furniture pads
Plus, we offer valuable add-ons for students with specific needs:
Packing supplies package: $47 (5 boxes, tape, markers, bubble wrap)
Disposal/donation service: $15-20 (for items you don't want to keep or store)
Roommate coordination: $10 per additional pickup (for different move-out times)
Enhanced insurance options: Starting at $15 (for valuable electronics, etc.)
Emergency last-minute service: $50-75 surcharge (for bookings within 48 hours)
When you compare this to the $2,900-$3,550 most students end up spending (not to mention the stress and time), it's a no-brainer.
When most students think about moving out of their dorms or apartments, they picture the physical labor - hauling boxes, disassembling furniture, cramming everything into a car that's definitely too small.
But here's the truth most people miss: The physical part isn't the real problem.
The real nightmare is the logistics:
Finding a moving truck during the exact same 48-hour window when 50,000 other students need one
Navigating campus when every single loading zone is full
Figuring out where to store your stuff when your lease ends May 1st but your new one doesn't start until August
Coordinating with roommates who all have different exam schedules and departure date.
Getting your international roommate's stuff stored when they have no family within 7,000 miles to help
This is why even the most organized students end up panicking, overspending, and leaving valuable items behind.
But there's a better way.
I want you to do a quick calculation in your head:
Truck rental for move-out: $150-200 (if you can even get one)
Storage unit for 3 months: $300-600
Truck rental for move back in: $150-200
Gas, insurance, and mileage fees: $100-150
Value of your time (at minimum wage): $600
Parents' hotel room to help you move: $200
Cost of replacing damaged furniture & electronics: $1,000+
Unexpected expenses and emergency solutions: $400-800
Total cost: $2,900-$3,550
And that doesn't even account for the stress, arguments, and sheer exhaustion.
Here's what's worse:
Most students don't realize they're spending this much because the costs come in dribs and drabs, spread across different credit cards, Venmo requests, and "Mom, can you help with this?"
But what if there was a single solution that handled EVERYTHING for a flat $397?
Imagine this scenario:
It's finals week. While your friends are scrambling to find boxes, begging parents to drive from Chicago to help, and getting into bidding wars for U-Haul rentals, you're calmly focusing on your exams.
Why? Because you made ONE phone call months ago.
No need to hunt for a parking spot near your building
No sweating as you haul your mini-fridge down three flights of stairs
No arguments with roommates about move-out timing
No panicked calls to storage facilities that are already full
No begging friends with pickup trucks for favors
Instead, professionals show up at your scheduled time, carefully pack and label your belongings, transport everything to climate-controlled storage, and then deliver it all to your new place when you return in fall.
All for less than what most students spend on textbooks each semester.
Let's talk about your parents for a moment.
They love you. They want to help.
But do they really want to:
Take time off work during one of the busiest seasons
Drive hours to East Lansing
Fight for a hotel room when they're all booked solid
Haul heavy furniture up and down stairs
Argue with you about what to keep and what to throw away
Drive a rented moving truck they're not comfortable operating
The answer is no.
They absolutely do not want to do any of these things.
That's why parents are often our biggest advocates. When they discover they can pay $397 for their child to have a completely stress-free moving experience, they're overjoyed.
As one parent told us:
"It's the best money I've spent since college tuition. My back thanks you, my relationship with my daughter thanks you, and my sanity thanks you."
Alex J., Junior, Engineering Major: "Last year, I tried doing the move myself with friends. We spent over $600 between truck rental, storage unit, and pizza bribes for friends who helped. My Xbox got damaged, and I missed studying for a final because we couldn't get the truck when planned. This year, I used Mr. BigStuff, spent less money, and could actually focus on my exams."
Mia L., Sophomore, International Student from China: "As an international student, summer storage was always a huge worry. My parents can't fly from Shanghai to help me move, and my first year I had to beg friends to store some things in their garages. Using a professional service gave me peace of mind and solved a problem that used to keep me up at night."
Tyler K., Senior, Business Major: "I lived in Case Hall for two years and thought those stairs would be the death of me. Watching the Mr. BigStuff team effortlessly move my stuff down from the 4th floor while I focused on finishing my thesis was the best $397 I've ever spent."
Emma R., Junior, Pre-Med: "My parents were skeptical about spending money on movers until they helped me move freshman year. This year, THEY suggested using Mr. BigStuff before I even brought it up. As someone with a heavy course load, not having to worry about moving logistics during finals week was priceless."
Ever opened your storage unit after summer to find your TV screen cracked or your gaming console mysteriously damaged? You're not alone. Standard moving companies treat your PlayStation the same as they treat your kitchen trash can. But our team is trained specifically in electronics packing and handling. Plus, we offer insurance packages starting at just $15 that cover up to $2,500 in valuables. When was the last time a friend helping you move offered that?
International students face unique challenges during move-out. With no family nearby and often uncertain summer plans, they're left scrambling. That's why we offer:
Extended storage options beyond the standard 4 months
Coordination with roommates for different pickup times
Our team includes staff who've been international students themselves. They understand the unique stress of being thousands of miles from home during moving transitions.
We've all been there. Suddenly it's the day before move-out, you haven't started packing, and the campus bookstore is sold out of boxes. Our emergency last-minute service (just $50 extra) guarantees we'll be there for you, even if you call us 48 hours before deadline. We'll even bring all the packing supplies you need for just $25-35.
After everything you've read, the decision really comes down to one simple question:
What is your time, energy, and peace of mind worth during finals week?
If you're like most MSU students, you're paying between $15,000 and $45,000 per year for your education. That breaks down to about $500-1,500 per CLASS SESSION.
Missing study time or performing poorly on a final because you're exhausted from moving could quite literally cost you thousands in tuition value.
For just $397 - less than the cost of a typical textbook package for one semester - you can completely eliminate one of the most stressful aspects of college life.
Not to mention saving your relationships with parents and roommates who would otherwise be drafted into moving duty.
