Ardmore Small Long Distance Movers
Specializing in small long distance moves from Ardmore since 2007. From a single piece of furniture up to a small studio – we handle what big van lines will not. Pickup from Lancaster Avenue, the Ardmore Avenue corridor, Suburban Square, and the Lower Merion School District streets.
Ardmore is the commercial center of the Main Line. Suburban Square – the country’s first shopping center – anchors the village. Lancaster Avenue runs the corridor through Suburban Square to Ardmore Avenue and the SEPTA station. The neighborhoods radiate out into stone Tudor homes, brick Colonial Revivals, and twin homes that ring the borough core. Lower Merion School District is consistently top-ranked. LiteMovers has packed and shipped from Ardmore since 2007. Our headquarters at 307 East Church Rd in King of Prussia is about 20 minutes west. We hold PA PUC Certificate A-8916211, USDOT 2173383, and MC-888055.
Most national van lines have a minimum weight or piece count that makes small long distance moves expensive or impossible. A single antique dresser to North Carolina, a few boxes and a sofa to Florida, a studio’s worth of belongings to Boston – these jobs slip through the cracks of the big carriers. We built this service for them.
How We Handle Small Long Distance Moves
A full Tudor heading to Greenwich on a fixed closing needs a different plan than a single console heading to NYC. We offer both options.
LiteMovers Direct
Best for full households or urgent timing. Our crew loads at your Ardmore home and drives straight to destination in our own truck. Ideal for full Tudor or Colonial Revival households with fixed dates.
- Same crew at pickup and delivery
- Direct over-the-road transport
- Tight delivery windows possible
- Best for full-home moves
Consolidated via Plycon
Best for smaller shipments or flexible timing. Sized for anything from a single piece of furniture up to a small studio’s worth of belongings. LiteMovers picks up at your home, stages at our King of Prussia warehouse, and our long-haul partner Plycon Van Lines runs the over-the-road leg. Most shipments deliver within a 20-day turnaround window.
- From one piece of furniture up to a small studio

How Each Option Works
Direct Move: A LiteMovers crew arrives at your Ardmore home, packs and loads our truck, and drives directly to your destination. Fixed delivery date.
Consolidated Shipment: A LiteMovers crew picks up at your home and shuttles to our King of Prussia warehouse at 307 East Church Rd. Plycon Van Lines, our long-haul partner, picks up the consolidated shipment for over-the-road transport. Most shipments deliver within a 20-day turnaround window.
How to Get Your Long Distance Estimate
For Direct LiteMovers Moves: Direct moves work best for full households or any move with urgent timing. Call us at (610) 755-5535 or 1-877-798-8989 to schedule an in-home walkthrough. Our crew chief reviews the inventory in person, measures access, and writes the estimate on site.
For Plycon Consolidated Shipments
Consolidated shipments are sized for anything from a single piece of furniture up to a small studio’s worth of belongings. Because Plycon prices by cubic feet, weight, and distance, we need a clear picture of your shipment up front to write an estimate that holds. Email everything below to moves@litemovers.com and we will follow up the same business day.
- Pickup address in Ardmore
- Delivery address at destination
- Your phone number for follow-up questions
- Ideal timing – your target pickup date and any move-out or move-in deadlines
- Dimensions of every item being moved measured as length x width x height (furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, outdoor pieces, anything large or unusual)
- Photographs of every room plus close-ups of artwork, glass tops, chandeliers, antiques, pianos, sculptures, mirrors, and oversized furniture
Send everything to moves@litemovers.com. Long distance moves are governed by federal FMCSA regulations under our USDOT 2173383 and MC-888055 authority.

Local Challenges Unique to Ardmore
Ardmore neighborhoods have varied access. Stone Tudors on Mill Creek Road and Bryn Mawr Avenue often have long driveways – sometimes too narrow or with low tree limbs for a 53-foot trailer. We shuttle with smaller trucks and consolidate at King of Prussia. The Ardmore Avenue corridor near SEPTA has tight parking, walk-up apartments, and sometimes parking permits required from Lower Merion Township. Suburban Square commercial moves require coordination with property management. Twin homes on Cricket Avenue have shared walls and narrow front walks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer direct long distance moves or only consolidated shipments?
Both. LiteMovers handles direct over-the-road moves with our own crews and trucks for full-household and time-sensitive Ardmore moves. We also offer consolidated shipments through our long-haul partner Plycon Van Lines for smaller loads ranging from a single piece of furniture up to about a small studio’s worth of belongings. The right option depends on the size of your shipment and how flexible your delivery window is. Email pickup address, delivery address, dates, dimensions, and photos to moves@litemovers.com and we will recommend the best fit and provide a written estimate.
What information do you need for a long distance estimate?
For direct LiteMovers moves, call us at (610) 755-5535 to schedule an in-home walkthrough – we measure and inventory in person. For Plycon consolidated shipments, which range from one piece of furniture up to about a small studio’s worth of belongings, email everything to moves@litemovers.com. We need your pickup address in Ardmore, your delivery address at destination, your phone number, and your ideal timing including target pickup date and any move-out or move-in deadlines. We also need dimensions of every item being moved measured as length by width by height. This includes furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, outdoor pieces, and any oversized item. Finally, send photographs of every room plus close-ups of anything fragile, valuable, or unusual. Artwork, glass tops, chandeliers, antiques, pianos, and mirrors should each have a photo.
Do you handle Ardmore stone Tudor estate moves?
Yes. Ardmore stone Tudors on Mill Creek Road, Bryn Mawr Avenue, and the larger Lower Merion estate properties often have long driveways with low tree limbs that a 53-foot tractor-trailer cannot navigate. LiteMovers brings smaller trucks for the local pickup and we shuttle to King of Prussia. Estate moves often run as direct over-the-road moves on a fixed delivery date. The shuttle approach protects your trees, gravel, and any stone walls along the drive.
Can you handle Ardmore Avenue walk-up apartments?
Yes. The Ardmore Avenue corridor near the SEPTA station has walk-up apartments, brick rowhomes, and tight parking. LiteMovers handles the parking permit coordination with Lower Merion Township when needed. Upper-floor pickups without elevators add labor and time but do not change the small long distance estimate framework. Single-piece pickups from Ardmore Avenue apartments are common as small long distance shipments.
How is my long distance estimate regulated?
Long distance moves crossing state lines are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, not the Pennsylvania PUC. LiteMovers operates under USDOT 2173383 and MC-888055. We provide written non-binding estimates built from a detailed inventory of items, weight, cubic feet, and distance. Federal rules require licensed interstate carriers to honor the 110% rule on non-binding estimates: your final charges at delivery should not exceed 110% of the written estimate without your written authorization. We discuss any condition that could change the estimate before pickup. There are no surprise charges, no promotional gimmicks, and no hidden fees.
Ready to Plan Your Ardmore Long Distance Move?
Big van lines often pass on small long distance moves. We do not. From a single piece of furniture to a small studio, email pickup address, delivery address, phone, timing, dimensions, and photos to moves@litemovers.com. For full-household direct moves, call (610) 755-5535.
