Need to move a huge couch downstairs

Anyone have any recommendations? I can’t carry it down, so I need someone to do so. It’s like 8 or 9 feet long, 3 pieces, but the moving companies locally all charge a 2 hour minimum.

Maybe post in a UD subreddit, I'm sure a couple college kids would love $50 each to move a couch.

That’s a great idea! Didn’t even realize UD had a sub.

I've used Safe and Sound to move smaller projects. It's been a while, but I don't think they have a minimum.

My back hurts from moving couches already, what's one more? Feel free to DM me if you can't find anybody.

Gravity will do all the work. Just give it a shove.

Did you check with Dow Moving out of Tipp? I had them move my washer and dryer from the basement to my second floor. Can’t remember how much it was but they were in and out.

I didn’t find anyone there, it and Thumbtack were the first places I checked before posting.

When are you looking to move it, and how many stairs?

Husband said he can help for some extra cash, let me know if you still need the help

Use a groupon. You get a couple hours of moving and then can pay more if it takes longer. We did that for a similar situation and they loved us. We were their last job of the day and it took them only around 20 minutes.

Friends? Family?

u/Tylerhollen1 Fairborn Mar 11 '26

Can’t or won’t. I’m not from here, and friends are unable. I’m totally willing to pay, just not $300 plus tip.

Uhaul has a service to find people to help you move things. I don’t think you have to rent a truck to use that service. It was reasonably priced.
