How to Order a Move

Daily or Small Moves:

Fill out the Moving Services Request Form and return it to moving@berkeley.edu

Be sure to fill out the form completely so that we can provide the fastest possible service.

Please keep in mind that we can not schedule your order without the billing information, so be sure to include your chartstring when submitting the form.

Please note that we cannot guarantee service from any specific vendor.

Please note: If your move would change the working location (building, room, or cubicle) for one or more employees, please contact your HR representative to have their work location updated in UCPath. It is important to keep UCPath position location information up to date, as it is used by unions and by Space Management.

Large or Specialty Moves

Contact Tamera Garlock with an overview of your project, move dates if known and your phone number.  

Upon receiving your email we will call or email you to set up a site or bid walkthrough (if required) and discuss any questions we have regarding the details.
