When the dates don’t line up between two Philadelphia moves
It happens on more Delaware Valley moves than people expect: your lease ends before the new place is ready, a rowhouse settlement gets pushed a week, or the buyer needs you out early and the keys to the next house aren’t in your hand yet. Suddenly there’s a whole household and nowhere to put it. Pro Tri State built short-term storage to cover exactly that gap — we load the home, keep it safe, and bring it back when your timing finally works out.
Across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, Philadelphia movers runs every move on one written number, with no add-ons after the truck loads.
One company holding your things, not a stranger’s warehouse
The difference that matters here is who has your furniture in between. With us it never leaves the company. Our own crew pads and wraps everything, loads it, and stores it under our roof, and our own crew brings it back out — no transfer to a self-storage unit you have to load yourself, no third party touching your shipment while you wait.
However long the gap turns out to be
Sometimes it’s a long weekend between closings. Sometimes it’s two months while a renovation finishes or a cross-river move to Cherry Hill or Wilmington gets sorted out. The terms flex either way, and we keep a written inventory so every piece that goes into storage is accounted for when it comes back out. You’re not signing a year-long self-storage lease for a few weeks of gap, and you’re not the one loading and unloading the unit twice — that’s the work we’re handling.
- Load-in and redelivery both billed at $155/hr for two movers or $215/hr for three, no minimum
- Furniture pad-wrapped and shrink-wrapped before it’s stored
- Whole cost — both move days and the storage — quoted before you commit
- Up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment, $0.60/lb released-value standard, full-value optional
Tell us roughly how long the gap might be, and where the home is starting and ending up. A $125 deposit holds your original load date and comes straight off the final bill.

How we set the price
Following a short walkthrough or video estimate, we set one flat rate from the inventory you actually have — never an hourly clock. Whatever that sheet reads is the entire price, with nothing tacked on later.
