Whether you're moving to Center City, considering a home in Chestnut Hill or King of Prussia, or researching the history
of the Liberty Bell, Wellknown Moving Company knows every corner of Philadelphia. From
the tight rowhouse-lined streets of South Philly to the busy intersections of Center
City, we’ve been there. We know how to grab a parking spot on Walnut or Chestnut Street,
navigate the traffic on I-76 and I-95, and handle the tricky turns on Passyunk Avenue or
Germantown Avenue. Whether you’re moving out of a third-floor walk-up in Fishtown or
into a townhouse near University City, we’ve got it covered. Moving with us is always
fast, efficient, and stress-free—because we move like locals.
If you need a parking permit to make space for your moving truck, we recommend getting
one in advance. This helps avoid delays and can reduce the overall cost of your move.
Had the best experience using WellKnown Moving Company from Philadelphia to Charlotte. Alex was incredible. He and his crew were able to move all of our boxes and furniture from our 2 bedroom apartment quickly and carefully! Same with the unloading in Charlotte! Communication was great throughout and everything was done with care. I will be using them again in the future!
Daniel and his team were amazing made moving very easy! Thanks to both

We
will help you! For those seeking cheap Philadelphia movers, we are the perfect
choice.
Movers usually charge by the hour. Philadelphia movers cost on average
between $90 and $180 per hour for two movers and a truck
(learn
more in our article). You can find Wellknown rates on our pricing page. We have a flat rate for long distance moves.
We recommend ordering services from our company at least two to four weeks
in advance. Especially during peak seasons (summer months or weekends).
However, we can also accomplish the move with a later check-in (much depends
on our schedule). We do last minute moves in
Philadelphia if you have a need to move in the next few days.
Hiring movers on weekdays, particularly between Monday and
Thursday, is generally more cost-effective in Philadelphia due
to lower demand. Additionally, scheduling your move during the off-peak
season, from mid-September to April, can further reduce costs. More in our
article about the cheapest
day to move in Philadelphia.
While DIY moves in Philadelphia might seem cheaper, costs for truck rental,
fuel, and supplies can quickly add up. For instance, renting a moving truck
can range from $19 to $39 per day, with additional mileage fees of
approximately $1.99 per mile, and packing supplies can add another $100 to
$250 to your expenses. Professional movers, typically $90–$180/hour, offer
all-in-one service that can save time, hassle, and even money in the long
run.
Most Philadelphia moving companies, including Wellknown Moving, have a list
of items that they will not transport for legal and safety reasons. These
are primarily hazardous materials, perishables, plants, weapons, and
valuables (cash or documents). You can get a complete list from your manager
when you call.
To save money when hiring movers in Philadelphia, compare quotes from
several cheap movers and affordable movers in the area. Move on a weekday to
avoid peak rates, pack your own items, and reduce the number of things
you're moving. You can also consider hiring labor-only movers and renting
the truck yourself.
