Auction Pickup & Shipping Partner for Auction Houses
Out-of-area bidders often hold back because they don't know how they'll get a lot home. Professional Moving Solutions gives auction houses and auctioneers a shipping partner they can point those bidders to. We pick up winning lots from the auction site, load them out, protect them for the trip, store them if the buyer needs time, and deliver them locally or anywhere in the U.S. We're an asset-based carrier running our own trucks and crews, and we're available 24/7 at 866-216-7742.

What we ship
We pick up and deliver lots from industrial, restaurant, medical, office, business liquidation and estate auctions, as well as government surplus bought through GovDeals and similar sites. Common items include machinery and shop equipment, commercial kitchen equipment, restaurant furniture, office furniture and cubicles, IT equipment, medical equipment, furniture, antiques and household contents, and mixed lots on pallets.
- Medical equipment auctionsLots from hospitals, surgery centers and clinics, with facility dock rules and strict removal deadlines.
- High-value and fragile lotsAntiques, art and electronics that need custom crating and careful handling.
- Heavy and oversized itemsEquipment and freight that parcel carriers will not take.
Removal-day support
Removal days are where auctions get stuck: buyers arrive without help or a truck, items sit past the deadline, and the site cannot be handed back. Tell us the removal dates and we can schedule crews to load out the lots shipping with us, so they leave on time and in order.
Our crew brings its own equipment, follows the facility's dock rules, and keeps every lot labeled.
Storage when buyers need time
Not every buyer can receive a lot the week it is picked up. We can move it off the auction site before the deadline and hold it in our secure Richmond, VA warehouse, from a single pallet to 100 pallets, until the buyer is ready for delivery.
Pickup and delivery coverage
Crews based in Richmond, VA and Edison, NJ cover auction sites across Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, with delivery anywhere in the continental U.S.
