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.

Just had Arthur, Alex and Miras moce my apartment in west Philly. Everything went swimmingly and they’re fast. Highly recommend.

Kimmi and Alex were amazing!! I had other friends who moved around similar times as me and they used a different moving company but they had horrible experiences. Kimmi and Alex handled everything and made this move a breeze. A downside for me was the large window of time when they could arrive and start the move, but that's just because I love a tight schedule so it is no reason not to still give y'all 5 stars. As a girl who lives in Philly without any family, Kimmi and Alex handled my things with care and were better than if my family was moving my things. They unfortunately were unable to mount my TV at my new apartment due to not having a tool to check for electrical, but I don't mind because I don't even have my wifi set up yet so I can't use it anyway. I could not recommend WellKnown Moving Co more! When it comes to moving in Philly, based off my friend's experience with their moving companies, WellKnown Moving Co is the only way to go!

Did a short move (under a mile) but with a lot of things. Tyler and Alex were super prepared, knew exactly how to pack the things I listed in advance, and got everything done quick as can be. I've been very stressed out over moving, and they helped everything go incredibly smooth!

Nagiz and Kurmanbek were so helpful and amazing!!!!!! They did it so quick too.

Nagiz and Kurmanbek did a great job, everything went quick and they took great care of our items. Would definitely recommend.

Nagiz and Kurmanbek were incredible! Kind, respectful, quick, and responsible. 10/10 would recommend you anyone!

Adam and Tim were absolutely amazing. They took care of our move from Philly to New York. They communicated through every step, were efficient, professional and accommodating. Highly recommend. Thank you!

Adam and Miras were phenomenal and so quick.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still stuck? Call the dispatch line — a real person picks up.

Straight answers about cost, timing, and what Los Angeles is actually like once the truck is unloaded. No fine print games.

What additional costs does Wellknown have?

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! 

What do I need to do before calling Wellknown?

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. 

When is the cheapest time to move from Philadelphia to Los Angeles?

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. 

How much money should you save to move to Los Angeles?

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. 

What is the most forgotten thing when 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.
