Experienced & Professional Movers from Raleigh to Philadelphia

Local Expertise-Raleigh ⇆ Philadelphia & Surrounding Areas

Our moving company regularly travels major routes like I-95 and I-40, allowing us to efficiently plan our trips to avoid heavy traffic. We are well-acquainted with the nuances of Raleigh's suburban areas and Philadelphia's specific permit requirements. This familiarity helps us to circumvent congestion points ahead of time—whether it involves obtaining special parking permits for downtown Philadelphia or managing condo moves that necessitate a Certificate of Insurance (COI). Our service area is extensive, not just limited to Philadelphia but also the surrounding regions. Whether you’re moving from Raleigh, NC to Philadelphia, or areas in Pennsylvania, our team is ready to assist you.

Professional Movers

Our team is made up of professionals, and each move is overseen by an experienced foreman with at least three years of experience in long-distance moves. All employees are thoroughly screened and trained in safe loading and unloading. We also use state-of-the-art equipment to transport bulky and valuable items. By the way, our moving trucks are fully equipped with special equipment for bulky or expensive items-we make sure they get the best possible protection.

Customizable Service

Before the move, we will contact you to discuss all the details. Tell us how many items you have, whether they need to be packed, and if there are any special wishes for their storage and transportation. Based on this, we will select the composition of the crew and take everything you need for a comfortable move. It is possible to order additional services, for example, transportation of only furniture or a joint move to save money. 

Flat-Rate, Transparent Pricing

We work on fixed rates, so extra ladders or a small hook along the route will not affect the price. The exception to this is very heavy or complicated items such as pianos, refrigerators, etc. Reservations require a deposit, which can be refunded if you cancel the move two weeks before the moving date. Learn more about pricing.

Moving Tip: Getting the parking permit (moving truck parking permit in Philadelphia) in advance can save you headaches and fines once you're in the city.

Exploring Philadelphia

Finally, a little bit about Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a city rich in history and culture. It is home to important sites such as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, which are associated with key events in US history. Philadelphia offers a variety of recreational opportunities. Outdoor enthusiasts can visit the Philadelphia Zoo or stroll through Fairmount Park. For evening entertainment, the city offers many bars and nightclubs such as Xfinity Live! and Helium Comedy Club.

However, living in Philadelphia also has its challenges. As in any other major city, traffic jams, especially on the I-76 freeway, are not uncommon, and finding on-street parking can be a challenge. However, unlike Raleigh, Philadelphia has a more developed public transportation system. If you’re looking for a mix of affordability and accessibility, Philly’s suburbs—like Bala Cynwyd, Cherry Hill, or King of Prussia—provide more space while keeping you within easy commuting distance of the city.

On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location in Raleigh. If a packing service has been arranged, we carry out the packing on the same day or a day or several days in advance of the move. We load all the things into the truck, wrapping and disassembling the furniture beforehand. The presence of the customer during this process is highly desirable.

Arrange On-Time Delivery & Unpacking

Then we move straight to the final location in Philadelphia, PA or make a stop at the storage, if this service has been purchased. We carefully unload all your belongings, leave them in the pre-agreed locations and collect the furniture. If arranged, we help unpack all items.
