home<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are no transfers or consolidation stops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivery is scheduled based on your move date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the truck isn\u2019t waiting for other shipments to fill space, it can depart promptly after pickup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This eliminates the most common cause of multi-week delivery windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
