We develop a customized moving plan and determine the timing of the move from or in Philadelphia. At this stage you need to decide whether you are doing the packing yourself or using our professional packing service. If you need additional services or special pricing, we'll find out during the call.
On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location. If a packing service in Philadelphia 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.
Then we move straight to the final location or make a stop at the storage in Philadelphia, 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.
Afterward, we are available to provide counseling and help with any questions you may have after the move of your house. If you find your belongings missing or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. We will solve everything!

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.
