Mayflower

What Mayflower does

Mayflower Transit, founded in 1927 and headquartered in Fenton, Missouri, is one of the largest U.S. interstate household goods carriers and a subsidiary of UniGroup, an agent-owned $1.6 billion transportation holding company that also owns United Van Lines. The company sells full-service and modular moving solutions — long-distance, local, international (150+ countries), military, corporate relocation, packing, storage, car shipping, and debris removal — through a network of more than 400 independent moving agents operating under the Mayflower brand and unified technology platform. As a GSA-approved carrier, Mayflower holds a privileged position in U.S. military PCS moves, having relocated more than 225,000 service members in the past decade, and serves enterprise customers through UniGroup National Accounts.

Mayflower's underlying technology includes a patented demand-based pricing platform, a proprietary dynamic CRM, virtual survey technology that enables remote video-based moving estimates, and the MyMayflower customer portal for shipment tracking and coordinator communication. Operational systems span lead and quote management, inventory capture (barcode scanning and e-signatures), and load management with real-time status updates delivered across the agent network. Sub-brand and partnership products — notably Snapmoves (container-based small-move solution), CityPointe (real estate cash-back rewards), and tiered Full Service Packages — extend the offering into adjacent service categories. The business model is asset-light: pricing is quote-based on weight, distance, and add-ons, with no required deposit, Full Value Protection bundled by default, and three optional protection tiers ($225 / $525 / $725). GTM combines direct-to-consumer digital acquisition (website, MyMayflower portal, 877-720-4066 phone) with enterprise field sales for corporate accounts and military/government contracts, all routed through the local independent agent that performs the actual move.
