Campus & Student Moves
Evanston is close enough to Chicago to shop there and far enough that getting a bookshelf home is somebody's whole afternoon.
Request a run on this page with both addresses, a contact at each end, and what's moving. A hopper collects it with a vehicle sized for the job and delivers with live GPS tracking and a photo confirmation. Buy and pay for anything first — drivers never pay a store or a seller on your behalf.
City pickups are the common case: a marketplace find in Chicago, a store that won't deliver to a dorm, a friend's couch coming north. Move-in and move-out weeks are the other one. Say the largest item's size when you book, and note stairs, elevators, or a building that needs card access at the door.

FAQ
Common Questions About Northwestern University Delivery
Yes — UniHop moves furniture, boxes, and everything else students haul around Northwestern University, same-day or scheduled. It works in both directions: a desk bought across town brought to your room, or a room's worth of things taken out at the end of term.
- Sort out both ends first — who's handing the items over, who's receiving them, and when. Move-in and move-out weeks are the busiest days of the year on any campus.
- Have everything boxed, taped, and ready to go. Drivers transport what's handed to them; they don't pack, disassemble, or buy anything.
- Request a delivery on this page with both addresses, a contact for each end, and a description of what's moving.
- Say what the largest item is — that decides whether a car, a van, or a box truck is assigned, and whether a second person is needed.
- A hopper collects it and delivers it, with live tracking and a photo confirmation on arrival.
No — UniHop doesn't store anything. What it can do is move your things into a storage facility when you leave and back out again when you return, which is the part that actually needs a vehicle. Book the storage unit yourself first, then request the run with the facility's address, its access hours, and your unit number.
Most deliveries cost $14.99, with no service fees. Runs over 15 miles add $1 per mile, and oversize loads that need a van or box truck are priced separately. The order form shows your exact price before you book.
For ASAP requests, a driver is dispatched within minutes and heads to the pickup address. Delivery time mostly depends on the distance between the two addresses. You can also schedule pickup for a specific time.
Yes. Every delivery includes real-time GPS tracking, SMS updates, and a photo confirmation on arrival. Live chat support is available from 5 AM to midnight, seven days a week, and orders are accepted 24/7/365.
UniHop is an independent delivery service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Northwestern University. You arrange the run yourself — much like asking a friend with a bigger vehicle to help.
Yes, and it's the run people book most here. Buy and pay for the item first, whether from a store or a private seller, then give the pickup address, a contact there, and your Evanston address. Drivers never pay a seller on your behalf, so settle up before the pickup.
Say which building, which floor, and whether there's an elevator when you request. Many residence halls and lakefront apartment buildings need card access or a doorman, so plan to meet the hopper at the entrance and walk them in from there.
Only for planning. Lake-effect weather makes a February move slower rather than impossible, so book with room in the day and keep anything that shouldn't get wet properly wrapped. A photo confirmation shows where it was left at the other end.
