How It Works

From scan to booked

Moving made
transparent.

Here's exactly what happens when you use goCubify — from the moment you download the app to the day your carrier arrives.

How the moving industry actually works

You fill out a form thinking you're getting a quote.
You're actually being sold.

Most “get a quote” buttons on moving websites aren't connected to a moving company at all. They're lead generation forms. The moment you hit submit, your name, phone number, and email address are sold to as many as eight different moving companies simultaneously.

What follows is days — sometimes weeks — of unsolicited calls, texts, and emails from companies you've never heard of, all quoting prices they made up without ever seeing your home. The quotes are low on purpose. The real number surfaces on move day, when your belongings are already on the truck.

goCubify doesn't sell your information. We don't have a sales team. We don't call you. We give you the quote and let you decide — on your terms, on your timeline.

Here's how we do it instead

01
First
Create your account
and enter your move details.

Download the app and create a free account. Enter your origin address, destination address, home size, and move date. That's it — no card required at this point.

Google Maps calculates your exact mileage in real time. Your distance is locked into the pricing formula before you scan a single room.

Google Maps routing
Real mileage calculated via Google Maps. Not estimated — actual route distance.
No commitment yet
You can get a full quote and explore your inventory without paying anything.

Why your addresses matter: Distance is the second biggest factor in your moving cost after volume. We lock it in upfront so the price you see reflects your actual route — not a generic zone estimate.

02
Then
Scan your home
with Google AI.

Walk through each room and take photos or short videos with your phone camera. Google AI analyzes every image and identifies each item — furniture, appliances, boxes, artwork, and more — in seconds.

No manual entry. No lists to fill out. Just point and scan. A typical 3-bedroom home takes under 30 minutes.

Powered by Google AI
The same AI technology trusted at scale, identifying and sizing every item in your home.
Review and correct
After scanning, review your AI-generated inventory and add, remove, or adjust any item before booking.
29 room types supported
Bedroom, living room, garage, attic, gym, sunroom, storage — every space in your home.

Your scan photos are kept private. Images are processed by Google AI to generate your inventory, then stored securely. They are automatically deleted 90 days after your delivery is confirmed. We don't share your home photos with anyone except your assigned carrier — and only as move documentation.

03
Then
Build your inventory.
Watch the price update live.

Your AI-generated inventory is organized by room. For each item, you choose: Moving or Leaving Behind. Every toggle instantly recalculates your total cubic footage and your quote.

This is where Smart Leave comes in. For items that aren't worth moving, our AI compares your cost to ship versus buying new — and tells you exactly how much you'd save by leaving it.

Smart Leave example
Sofa, 3-Seat — 6 years old
Cost to move$310
Buy new on Amazon$189
You save $121 by leaving it — order a replacement on Amazon →

Smart Leave is honest. We only suggest leaving something behind if it genuinely saves you money. We run the math and show you both numbers — you decide. And if you do leave it, we can link you directly to a replacement on Amazon so it's waiting at your new home.

04
Then
Get your binding quote.

Once your inventory is confirmed, goCubify calculates your binding moving estimate. Every line item is shown — nothing hidden, nothing bundled in a way that obscures the real cost.

Your quote is binding. That means the price won't change as long as your inventory and services stay the same. No bait-and-switch on move day.

Your estimate
Binding
Base rate (cu ft × rate/cf)$1,820
Fuel surcharge$182
Binding fee$265
Reserve discount−$53
Total estimate$2,214

Example only. Your actual quote depends on your cubic footage, distance, and move date.

05
Then
Book with a deposit.
Secured by Stripe.

Like your price? Tap to book. Your deposit is calculated from your move details and shown clearly before you confirm — it's applied toward your total move cost. Stripe handles the payment. Your card info never touches goCubify's servers.

The whole booking process — from tapping "Book" to receiving your confirmation — takes under a minute.

Secured by Stripe
Stripe is the most trusted payment infrastructure in the world. Bank-level encryption on every transaction.
Instant confirmation
Booking confirmation sent immediately with your full move summary and next steps.

Cancellation policy: Your deposit is fully refundable if you cancel at least 14 business days before your pickup date. See our Terms of Service for full details.

06
After booking
We handle everything
until move day.

Once your deposit is confirmed, goCubify takes over the coordination. Here's exactly what happens next:

After deposit
Carrier assigned
goCubify assigns an FMCSA-verified carrier to your job. They receive a Job Acceptance Form and your full inventory, photos, and move details.
After carrier signs
Binding estimate sent to carrier
A complete moving estimate — including your full itemized inventory and all terms — is sent to the carrier automatically. Everything is documented before they ever touch your belongings.
14 days before
Full details sent to carrier
Your complete contact information, schedule, and move details are automatically sent to the carrier 14 days before your move date.
24–72 hours before
Carrier contacts you
Your carrier will call or email to confirm the pickup window. Make sure your phone is on and charged during this period.
Move day
Pickup
The crew arrives within the agreed window. The foreman presents a Bill of Lading — the legal contract for the physical move. Read it before signing.

About the remaining balance: Your deposit is paid to goCubify via Stripe. The remaining balance is paid directly to your carrier at pickup and/or delivery per the Bill of Lading. Accepted methods vary by carrier — typically Zelle, money order, or bank wire. Personal checks are not accepted.
