When your bank account isn’t exactly overflowing, moving can feel like a real challenge!
Finding a mover who is both affordable and reliable can be really difficult... but that was before!
The core of Yoojo is to connect you with affordable movers near you to help you, whether it’s just a little assist or a full move.
With over hundreds of removals carried out thanks to our website, we’ve got stories to tell and examples to share... and that’s exactly what we’re about to show you below.
In this article, I’ll show you how our clients used Yoojo to make their move more affordable, how much they paid, and how you can do the same!
The one who just needs help with lifting
The problem with traditional movers is that they often only offer expensive packages.
But sometimes, all you need is a little help carrying boxes.
Let me explain how you can use our moving help service to find someone to carry stuff for you!
Example 1: Finding help after someone cancels
💰 Price paid : £50 for 3 hours of service
This client needed last-minute help with their move because the person who was supposed to help them became unavailable!
In this case, it was just lifting at the start and finish, 8 miles away.
Here’s the ad they posted:
Not bad for someone who saves the day at the last moment!
Example 2: Getting help to move just a few items
💰 Price paid : £23 for 1.5 hours of lifting
In this example, the client already had the van but needed some extra hands to carry everything down from the first floor and load it into the van.
Here’s the ad:
Another happy customer who found exactly what they needed at an unbeatable price!
Example 3: Finding strong helpers in your new city to unload your van
💰 Price paid : £25 for 1.5 hours of service
Often, you have family and friends in your departure city who can help with the move.
But how do you find affordable help in a new city where you don’t know anyone?
Yoojo, of course!
One and a half hours to unload a van for under £25? That’s a bargain!
The one moving a small load for cheap
Sometimes, you don’t need a full van with a driver!
Are you a student, moving a small studio, or just have a few belongings to relocate?
Yoojo is perfect for organising a small move… here are some examples:
Example 1: Moving items from a storage unit
💰 Price paid : £55 for 3.5 hours of service
In a storage unit, there’s usually not a huge amount of stuff to move.
In this case, there’s no need to spend a fortune on traditional movers. Take a cue from this customer from Bristol who moved a 20m³ storage unit for less than £60:
Simple, quick, and affordable… that’s Yoojo!
Example 2: Moving 9m³ for under £70
💰 Price paid : £65 for 4 hours of service
Here’s a full move with a van and extra hands, but still affordable!
A small load with just a few boxes and two pieces of furniture — this is the type of move typically requested on Yoojo:
The one moving a large van without breaking the bank
Unlike the previous examples, sometimes you need a big van and several movers to transport everything across the country.
No worries, with Yoojo, you can still find affordable help for a full move from A to Z.
See how our customers use our complete moving services :
Example 1: Moving a 2-bedroom flat for under £80
💰 Price paid : £78 for 5 hours of service
Here’s a classic example of an affordable move made possible by Yoojo.
The client needed to move an entire flat 19 miles from their original location.
All this for under £80 — that’s five times cheaper than with traditional movers.
Example 2: Moving across the UK for less than £220
💰 Price paid : £210 for 13 hours of service
It’s hard to make a longer journey than London to Edinburgh!
In our example, the client from London needed to move all their furniture to the north of the UK, about 420 miles away:
They found an affordable mover to do the job for less than £220… that’s 6 times cheaper than using a traditional mover.
For those who want the all-inclusive luxury option
You already know that all the steps involved in your move are going to bring some stress. On top of that, you’ll need to pack all your boxes, organize the loading, transport, and unpacking at the new place.
On Yoojo, you can also find service providers who take care of your entire move from start to finish, without needing to take out a 20-year loan!

Example 1: When you don’t want to organize anything
💰 Price paid : £80 for 4.5 hours of service
Here’s an example of a customer who was moving within the same city but didn’t want to deal with the hassle of organizing it themselves.
Transport, lifting, clearing out bulky items, furniture assembly… the Yoojo service provider took care of everything in under 5 hours!
Example 2: Getting help when you don't have a car
💰 Price paid : £230 for 15 hours of service
Here's a typical example of a client who has plenty of friends to help, but no vehicle.
They used Yoojo just to rent a van from point A to point B… all for less than £20 an hour.
For those who just need to move appliances on the penny
Do you know why Yoojo is cost-effective?
You won’t find a traditional mover who will come out just to move one household appliance.
So, how do we do it?
Here, the mover helping the customer was a local individual living nearby every time.
Check out the following examples to see how our customers use our appliance moving service.
Example 1: Moving just one American fridge
💰 Price paid : £16 for one hour of work
In this first example, the customer needed to transport just one American fridge, which was incredibly heavy. We’re staying within the same town, but going a few streets over.
Here’s the ad posted on Yoojo:
When you think of the service provided at such a low price, it’s really great!
Example 2: Moving all of your appliances
💰 Price paid : £24 for 1.5 hours of work
Sometimes, you’re not moving far, but with appliances weighing up to 100 kilos each, the job becomes really tough.
On Yoojo, you’ll find affordable help to move your fridge, oven, and dishwasher, like in the ad below.
Everything is sorted in under 2 hours, for less than £25… when you calculate the cost per kilo moved, it’s a real bargain !
Example 3: Delivery to your doorstep for under £20
💰 Price paid : £19 for 1 hour of service
A classic scenario on Yoojo: you don’t have a lift, no equipment, and you definitely don’t want to carry a 100kg washing machine up four flights of stairs!
This type of service is frequently requested on our platform when appliance stores only deliver to the ground floor.
Here’s the ad that was posted:
And yes, Yoojo is also useful for small, everyday tasks.
For those who need help moving a huge piece of furniture
Particularly bulky furniture presents many challenges for transport, not to mention the cost.
Not on Yoojo, where even the heaviest furniture is no match for our strongest movers… all at a price that can’t be beat!
See how our customers use our furniture transport service between individuals !
Example 1: Moving a bookshelf for £34
💰 Price paid : £34 for 2 hours of service
Some pieces of furniture are impossible to move on your own and will definitely require help from others.
This was the case for this huge bookshelf that a customer in Bath wanted to move.
Example 2: Dismantling a wardrobe before moving it
💰 Price paid : £34.50 for 1.5 hours of service
This is another common request on Yoojo.
Because the piece of furniture is so large, the mover had to dismantle it before transporting it 12 miles further, as shown in the ad below:
No problem for Yoojo’s movers who completed the task in 1.5 hours, without breaking the bank!
