I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived EARLY, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

WellKnown Moving Company offers professional moving services from Philadelphia to Los Angeles—fast, safe, and affordable. We specialize in long-distance moves from Pennsylvania to California and provide binding flat-rate estimates with no hidden fees, so you know the exact cost of your move from PA to CA in advance.

Every move from Philadelphia to Los Angeles is carefully planned by our team—from loading your belongings to delivering them to your doorstep—so your property arrives on time and in perfect condition. Our interstate moving company is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT #4224986) and fully complies with federal requirements. Customer reviews confirm our reliability and quality of service; you can find them on Google and Yelp, where customers share their real moving experiences.

Licensed, Insured, and Experienced Long-Distance Movers

Our long-haul teams regularly operate on major interstate routes, including I-76, I-70, I-15, and I-10, allowing us to efficiently plan transportation schedules and avoid unnecessary delays. We are familiar with the logistics requirements of both Philadelphia and Los Angeles, including parking permits, elevator reservations, and moving regulations in residential complexes, condominiums, and gated communities. When necessary, we provide Certificates of Insurance (COI) for managed properties.

Basic insurance coverage is included with every interstate move, and additional protection options are available for valuable items.

Professional Teams and Equipment

Every move from Philadelphia to Los Angeles is supervised by an experienced foreman with at least three years of interstate moving experience. Our movers are fully trained in professional packing, safe loading, and long-distance transportation. Our vehicles are equipped with protective materials, hydraulic lifts, and specialized equipment for transporting furniture, fragile items, appliances, and non-standard cargo across the country.

Customized Long-Distance Moving Services

Prior to your move date, our coordinators review your inventory list, packing needs, storage requirements, and delivery preferences to organize the most efficient moving plan. Additional services include full packing and unpacking, furniture-only transportation, and consolidated shipping, which helps reduce the cost of long-distance moves.

Transparent Fixed Rates

Our fixed rates include standard labor, transportation, and mileage costs, so the presence of stairs, elevators, or long carries does not affect the final price. The only exceptions are particularly heavy or complex specialty items, such as pianos, pool tables, or large equipment. A deposit is required to reserve your moving date and is fully refundable if canceled at least two weeks in advance.

Moving to Los Angeles

Los Angeles offers a variety of career opportunities, a year-round warm climate, and a wide selection of neighborhoods to suit different lifestyles. Residents can enjoy famous beaches such as Santa Monica and Venice, outdoor recreation in Griffith Park, and cultural institutions including The Getty Center, LACMA, and The Broad. From the high-rise buildings of Downtown LA to the suburban areas of Southern California, choosing the right neighborhood allows you to combine the convenience of city life with everyday comfort.

Plan and Customize Your Move

We develop a customized long-distance moving plan and determine the timing of the move. 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, we’ll discuss them during the call.

Loading and Transportation

On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location in Philadelphia. If packing is included, we can do it on moving day or one to several days in advance. We recommend that the customer be present during this stage.

Arrange On-Time Delivery & Unpacking

Then we move straight to the final location in Los Angeles or stop at the storage facility, if this service has been purchased. We carefully unload all your belongings, place items in the agreed locations and reassemble the furniture. If arranged, we help unpack all items.

After the move, we’re available to answer questions and provide support. If anything is missing or damaged, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll work with you to resolve the issue.

10/10 recommend using this company for a move! This was my first time using a professional service and they made the entire process incredibly painless. I really appreciated their disassembly and reassembly service for larger furniture. They also asked me where exactly I would like furniture placed so I wouldn’t have to worry about moving heavy things on my own later. They also moved much faster than I expected, which allowed me to start unpacking faster.

Incredible service. We were moving out of our 2br apartment that was on the 4th floor of a walkup building. Adam, Tima and Mehrzod were our movers, they were very professional! We thought this would take all day because of the stairs and all of our heavy belongings. Nope, they had everything out within 2.5 hours and then got everything in our new house and placed each item in the specific room we asked them to. All in all it only took them just 4 hours to complete our move start to finish. They were insanely efficient, moved quick and took great care of our belongings, wrapped all our fragile and expensive items (tv,mirror,dresser, etc) to insure they wouldn’t get damaged in transit and just made the whole process feel so easy. Cannot recommend these guys enough!!

My move was a 1 bd, 1 bath - getting a quote and booking was easy, pricing was fair. But Adam and Miras were incredible. They were communicative, efficient, and good humored which is saying a lot bc there was a torrential downpour happening while they loaded up my stuff. Thankfully the rain stopped by the time we got to my new place, at which point they made quick work of it. I’d highly recommend!

Adam and Mehrzod were great, seamless process and were patient when rain trapped them for a while. Very efficient

Alex and Tyler were wonderful. Extremely polite, professional, careful, and quick. We hired them for long move across multiple states and they were utterly brilliant.

great xp moving with Adam Tilek and Arthur

Timely, friendly and thorough. Cost was perfectly reasonable and every point of contact was easy to communicate with. Adam, Miras and Tim had me out of my old place and into my new one in under three hours and were super helpful along the way. Would definitely recommend.

Our movers had a difficult move yesterday given the extreme heat and an unexpected delay in using the loading dock at our place, but were extremely professional, careful, and adaptable given the circumstances. Alex and his team were communicative throughout as well, giving me updates as they went along. Would recommend!

Friendly and efficient! Isaac, Daniel and Arthur saved the day!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to Los Angeles with us ensures that your moving plan includes all the essential costs required by the movers. There's no need to worry about separate charges for the truck, tools, furniture assembly or disassembly, or even moving heavy items – it's all covered. We also offer flexibility with additional services: you can supply your own packing materials, or we can provide them. Plus, if you prefer, we can handle packing for specific items only. Visit our pricing page to learn more! 

Make a list of special items (or just memorize them) that movers need to pay attention to. First of all, these are heavy items (e.g. a piano, a bed, a big dresser). We need to know at least the approximate dimensions and weight. In the second place are fragile and valuable items, antiques, paintings, TV set, etc. This will help us to be better prepared. We also recommend that you clearly define whether you need additional services. If you are not sure yet, we will be happy to advise you. 

The cheapest time to move from Philadelphia to Los Angeles is from October to April. This is typically the low season, when demand for long-distance transportation is lower, so there are usually more available dates and better prices. Moves scheduled on weekdays and in the middle of the month are also usually cheaper than moves on weekends or at the end of the month. 

The amount you need depends on your future plans, but it should be at least $3,000-$7,000 to move to Los Angeles. This amount will include the cost of long-distance moving, travel, initial rent or deposit, and basic setup costs. However, the cost of living in Los Angeles is high, so experts recommend saving more and having enough funds to cover 2–3 months of living expenses to comfortably cover rent, utilities, transportation, and unexpected expenses after moving. 

Most often, when moving, people forget to update their address and transfer utilities and services. People often focus on packing and transportation and overlook mail forwarding, internet connection, insurance updates, and address changes in subscriptions. People also often forget to set aside essential items—important documents, chargers, medications, and everyday items that are better to take with you than send in the back of a truck.
