Personal Property Shipments

DMO is experiencing an influx in Personal Property shipments. The contracted moving companies are currently booked until eight weeks out. This means that all desired pick up dates will need to be at least eight weeks from the date it is submitted in DPS to the DMO office. Please note the pickup date cannot land on a weekend or Holiday. There is also currently blackout dates from 15 May to 30 May due to the moving companies being booked during those dates. Please note that all shipments submitted to the DMO office with a desired pickup date between 15 May to 30 May will need to be changed to outside of the blackout dates.

DOD servicemembers and government civilian travelers will initiate the shipment of personal property through a PCS (Permanent Change of Station), retirement, early return of dependents (ERD), BLUEBARK, or separation travel order/authorization. The Personal Property Processing Office (PPPO) will verify the type of shipment authorized to be utilized based on the orders.

The types of shipments are as follows:

• Household Good (HHG)
• Unaccompanied Baggage (UB)
• Non-Temporary Storage (NTS)
• Personally Procured Move (PPM)

DoD service members and civilians must use the DPS website to start their move with proper orders. Customers are responsible for creating their own DPS accounts, as DMO PPPO does not handle account creation; this responsibility lies with the customer.
