Who uses Smoves

End of academic year
Leaving your dorm in June and heading home. You don't want to haul everything on the plane or ask family to come with a van.
Semester abroad

June: exams to take. Room to empty.
Every end of year, thousands of out-of-town students have to do two impossible things at once. Smoves removes moving from the list.
- 📦Don't know where to leave your boxes when you move?
- 📚Your exam is in 3 days. The room needs to be emptied by Friday.
- ✈️Flying with 4 boxes would cost more than the flight itself.
- 🚗Asking family to drive hours just to move some stuff isn't fair.
- 🚛Renting a van yourself: licence, logistics, costs, stress.
- 🗑️Every year you throw things away because you have nowhere to put them.

Our story
About us
Three Bocconi students who experienced the problem first-hand — and decided to fix it.
Every June, thousands of out-of-town students face the same situation: exams to take and a room to empty at the same time. They call family from afar, pay excess baggage fees, rent last-minute vans — or just throw things away.
We experienced it ourselves as Bocconi students. Then we discovered that in the United States there are already services dedicated to people living away from home that solve exactly this problem — pickup, storage and on-demand delivery.
We founded Smoves to bring this model to Italy, starting from Milan. Our mission is simple: remove moving from the list of things to worry about during exams.
