Moving can be stressful, particularly when transportation, storage, packing, and scheduling all have to be coordinated at the same time. GoFlex is a moving and storage service designed to give customers more flexibility during relocation and storage projects. The company operates under Flex Moving & Storage and offers services that include local and long-distance moving, portable storage, moving labor, delivery, and other moving-related solutions.
This guide explains what GoFlex is, how its services work, the types of moving and storage situations it can support, and what customers should consider before choosing a flexible moving solution.
What Is GoFlex?
GoFlex is a service associated with Flex Moving & Storage that focuses on flexible transportation and moving solutions. Rather than limiting customers to a single traditional moving package, Flex provides several options designed around different budgets, timelines, and moving requirements.
The company’s services include local moving, long-distance moving, storage, moving labor, apartment moving, and on-demand delivery.
The broader Flex service model is intended to make moving more adaptable. Customers can choose different levels of assistance depending on whether they need full packing and moving support or simply require help with transportation and heavy lifting.
How GoFlex Works
The process generally begins by planning the move and selecting a service package. Customers can compare available options and book their move online.
Flex describes three primary moving packages: Premium, Full-Service, and Budget. The Premium option includes extensive packing and protection services, while the Full-Service option focuses on professional transportation, loading, unloading, wrapping of large items, and major furniture disassembly and reassembly. The Budget option provides a more basic moving service for customers who want a lower-cost approach.
This structure allows customers to select the amount of professional assistance they actually need.
GoFlex Moving Services
Local Moving
Local moving is designed for customers relocating within their area. Flex offers moving services for apartments, homes, small moves, and larger residential relocations.
Its local crews are described as background-checked, with packages available for different budgets and moving requirements.
Long-Distance Moving
GoFlex also supports longer relocations. Flex states that it handles both in-state and out-of-state moves and is licensed for interstate transportation. Its long-distance service uses dedicated trailers, meaning belongings are not transferred or mixed with other shipments during the journey.
Long-distance moving can benefit from this approach because customers often want greater control and visibility over their possessions throughout a relocation.
Apartment Moving
Apartment moves can involve challenges such as stairs, elevators, narrow hallways, loading zones, and limited parking.
Flex specifically offers apartment moving services for studios, apartments, condos, high-rises, townhomes, and walk-ups. The company also offers packing, storage between moves, and same-day or next-day options in applicable areas.
Moving Labor
Not every customer needs a complete moving package. Some people already have a truck or trailer but need assistance with heavy furniture and boxes.
Flex’s moving labor service allows customers to select the number of movers and the amount of time they require. The company states that hourly minimums can start at one hour, making the service suitable for smaller jobs as well.
GoFlex Portable Storage
One of the notable parts of the Flex service model is portable storage.
Instead of requiring customers to transport everything to a traditional storage facility, Flex can deliver a portable storage trailer to a selected address. Customers can then load their belongings at their own pace.
The trailer can remain at the customer’s property for temporary storage or be transported to a secure storage lot for longer-term storage.
This approach can be especially useful during home renovations, moving transitions, decluttering projects, and temporary relocation.
GoFlex Storage Trailer Sizes
Flex currently describes several storage configurations.
10-Foot Trailer
The 10-foot trailer measures approximately 6 feet wide by 10 feet long by 7 feet high. It is presented as an option for smaller apartments and condos, seasonal possessions, hobby equipment, sports gear, tools, and business supplies.
14-Foot Trailer
The 14-foot trailer measures approximately 7 feet wide by 14 feet long by 7 feet high.
According to Flex, this size can be appropriate for one- to two-bedroom homes, smaller renovation projects, decluttering, bulky recreational equipment, and inventory expansion.
Multiple Trailers
Customers with larger requirements can use multiple 14-foot trailers. Flex lists full-home renovations, transitional moves, oversized furniture, heirlooms, antiques, and commercial storage among the situations where multiple trailers may be appropriate.
At-Home Storage With GoFlex
At-home storage is one of the most convenient features of the service.
A clean, empty trailer is delivered to the customer’s location. The customer can then pack and organize belongings inside the trailer without repeatedly transporting items to an external storage facility.
This can be particularly helpful during renovations because belongings can remain close to the property while work is being completed.
Customers should make sure they have adequate driveway or property access for delivery and confirm any local restrictions that could affect trailer placement.
Long-Term Storage
GoFlex is not limited to temporary storage.
When customers do not want a storage trailer sitting at their home, Flex can store the trailer at one of its secure lots. The company says customers can keep their belongings stored for as long as needed without contracts.
If customers need access to belongings stored at a Flex facility, the company states that at least three days’ notice is required for delivery of the trailer back to the customer’s location.
Storage During a Move
Storage can be particularly useful when moving dates do not line up.
For example, someone might need to leave an old home before their new property is ready. Instead of moving furniture into temporary housing, the belongings can be placed in a GoFlex storage trailer.
Once the new home becomes available, the storage unit can be transported to the new address.
Flex says customers can request that their trailer be moved to another address with three days’ notice.
GoFlex for Home Renovations
Renovations often require furniture and household belongings to be moved away from construction areas.
A portable trailer can provide a temporary space for:
- Furniture
- Appliances
- Decorations
- Boxes
- Household equipment
- Seasonal items
- Personal belongings
Keeping these items away from active construction areas can make it easier for contractors to work and reduce clutter inside the home.
GoFlex for Decluttering
Decluttering does not always mean immediately getting rid of everything.
Some belongings may be useful later but are currently taking up too much space. Portable storage provides a temporary location where these items can be kept while homeowners decide what to keep, sell, donate, or discard.
This can be useful before selling a property, preparing a home for guests, or creating additional living space.
Security and Storage Protection
Security is an important consideration whenever belongings are placed in storage.
Flex says its storage trailers are weather-resistant and insulated. The company also describes 24/7 temperature and humidity monitoring, GPS tracking, and unique locks for its storage trailers.
Customers should still understand that storage protection does not necessarily replace insurance. Flex states that stored belongings must be insured and identifies a third-party storage insurance partner.
Before storing valuable possessions, customers should review the applicable insurance terms and exclusions.
GoFlex Moving Packages
Choosing the right package depends on how much work the customer wants to handle personally.
Premium Move
The Premium package is designed for customers who want extensive assistance. Flex describes services such as full-home packing, TV boxes, wrapping for large items, mattress covers, and furniture disassembly and reassembly.
Full-Service Move
The Full-Service option is designed for customers who prefer to pack their own smaller belongings while having professional movers handle transportation, loading, unloading, large-item wrapping, and major furniture disassembly and reassembly.
Budget Move
The Budget option provides a simpler approach. Flex describes it as including the trailer, transportation, and professional loading of belongings as-is. Customers are responsible for ensuring that large items receive appropriate protection.
Same-Day and Next-Day Moving
Moving plans sometimes change unexpectedly.
Flex offers same-day and next-day moving services in applicable markets. These options are intended for customers who need a fast turnaround rather than a long-planned relocation.
Availability can depend on location, crew capacity, and the requested service, so customers should confirm availability before relying on a short-notice move.
Benefits of Using GoFlex
Convenience
Portable storage can reduce the need for repeated trips between a home and a storage facility.
Flexible Options
Customers can choose among moving, storage, labor, and delivery services depending on their needs.
Multiple Storage Sizes
Different trailer sizes make it possible to choose a solution according to the amount of property being stored.
Temporary and Long-Term Use
Storage can be used for a short renovation project or a longer transition.
Professional Moving Assistance
Customers who do not want to handle heavy furniture themselves can hire professional moving crews.
Things to Consider Before Choosing GoFlex
Although flexible storage and moving can be convenient, customers should evaluate several factors before booking.
Total Cost
Consider the complete price rather than looking only at the base service. Moving distance, trailer size, labor, storage duration, and additional services can affect the final cost.
Trailer Space
Estimate the amount of furniture and boxes before selecting a trailer. Choosing a unit that is too small can create unnecessary complications.
Property Access
Portable trailers require appropriate space for delivery and placement. Check driveway dimensions and local restrictions before scheduling delivery.
Insurance
Understand what insurance coverage is required and what protection applies to your belongings.
Scheduling
Storage trailer movement may require advance notice. Flex states that three days’ notice is needed for certain trailer-access and relocation requests.
Tips for a Successful GoFlex Move
Start by creating an inventory of everything that needs to be moved.
Next, separate belongings into categories such as furniture, fragile possessions, documents, clothing, appliances, and seasonal items.
Use strong boxes and label them clearly. Place heavier items at the bottom and fragile possessions where they will receive adequate protection.
If using a portable storage trailer, create an organized loading plan. Items you expect to need first should be positioned where they are easiest to access.
Finally, confirm the moving date, delivery instructions, storage requirements, and any additional services before the scheduled move.
Final Thoughts
GoFlex represents a flexible approach to moving and storage by combining transportation, professional moving labor, portable storage, and other services. Its portable storage trailers can be delivered to a customer’s property or placed in a secure storage lot, providing an alternative to conventional self-storage.
The service can be useful for residential moves, apartment relocations, renovations, decluttering, temporary storage, and business inventory needs. Customers can also choose different levels of moving assistance based on their budget and preferences.
Before booking, compare the total cost, available trailer sizes, access requirements, insurance, scheduling rules, and specific services included in your package. With the right planning, a flexible moving and storage solution can make an otherwise complicated relocation much easier to manage.
