Absolutely amazing.<br><br>Nataly was very helpful and easy to work with in setting up the move. And was understanding of our in flux situation.<br><br>The actual move: they quoted me for 12 hours with four guys. These four guys… never stopped working. Twelve hours straight. Never saw them take a break. Not even to eat.<br><br>They were meticulous in taking care of anything , disassembling, wrapping, reassembling, and moving. Furthermore the crew was extremely kind and were clarifying everything.<br><br>100% recommended !
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.

VERIFIEDreal review
The estimate starts at $1,150 for a studio moving from Philadelphia to Raleigh, and the people who load it are WellKnown Moving employees in a WellKnown truck, carrying USDOT #4224986 and MC-1633615. No broker stands between you and them. The drive is about 400 miles, I-95 through Virginia, then I-85 and US 1 into Raleigh, so on a run this short, the curb often takes more planning than the road. Most Philadelphia to Raleigh moves take about two to three days. Downtown, a parking pass for a moving van comes from Raleigh Parking, and approved passes are picked up at its office at 310 W. Martin Street. Your binding flat rate comes from the furniture and box count you approve before you book, and a two-bedroom apartment has an estimated range of $1,850 to $2,950. That covers the crew and truck, fuel and tolls, pads and stretch wrap, basic liability coverage, and beds broken down and reassembled, with no added charge for stairs or equipment. When we damage an item, we generally pay an amount near its actual value. Most households here pay nothing up front and settle after delivery; only a large home, a four-bedroom house for example, reserves its date with about 10%. If you are moving downtown, ask Raleigh Parking about the pass first, then send us your inventory and both addresses so the estimate reflects where the truck can stop.
Experienced Movers for Philadelphia to Raleigh Moves
Our movers regularly drive along I-95, I-85, and US-1, so we know how to plan around traffic and timing. We understand both cities—from Philadelphia’s narrow streets and parking rules to Raleigh’s building requirements. If your new apartment or office needs a freight elevator reservation or a Certificate of Insurance (COI), we’ll handle it.
We also help customers move to nearby communities like Durham, Chapel Hill, Apex, and Wake Forest.
Skilled Moving Crews
Every move is led by a crew leader with at least three years of long-distance experience. Our movers are trained, background-checked, and equipped with the right tools to move heavy, fragile, or oversized items safely. We use protective materials and secure loading methods to keep your belongings safe from start to finish.
Flexible Moving Services
Before your move, we’ll reach out to review your inventory, packing needs, and any special instructions. Based on that, we’ll assign the right crew and bring the proper equipment. You can also choose extra services such as furniture-only moving, packing and unpacking, or shared truck options to reduce costs. Every move includes basic moving insurance at no extra cost.
Upfront Flat Rates
We provide clear, flat-rate pricing for every move. Small changes like a few extra stairs or a short detour won’t affect your price. Only very heavy or specialty items—such as large appliances or pianos—might change the total. To confirm your date, we ask for a deposit that’s fully refundable if you cancel at least two weeks before your move.
Moving Tip: In Raleigh, check with your new building or HOA about parking and elevator access before moving day—it helps everything go more smoothly.
What to Expect in Raleigh
Raleigh is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast, known for strong opportunities in technology, research, and education. You’ll find landmarks like the North Carolina Museum of Art, Umstead State Park, and the Research Triangle Park. Outdoor lovers can enjoy trails, lakes, and parks across the area.
Compared with Philadelphia, Raleigh offers more affordable housing, shorter commutes, and warmer weather. Neighborhoods such as Cary, Holly Springs, and Wake Forest are popular for families who want quiet surroundings while staying close to the city.

WellKnown Moving Company very easily helped me move my studio apartment. Isaac + Daniel were fast, efficient, and coordinated, on top of being friendly and personable. I personally was looking for a headache free move, and they delivered on all fronts.
Moved our daughter from NJ to Philadelphia. picked them based on reviews and they did not disappoint. Communication was great several reminders sent prior to move. Adam & Alex arrived on time they handled my daughter’s belongings with great care as they loaded items on the truck. The transition went very smoothly. The price was just right for the amount of time to move items. They were very friendly and polite. I would highly recommend!
Thanks to Alex, Anvar, Artem and Ilya our move went off without a hitch. They were professional and efficient. What hard workers! I highly recommend this company in making your move!
Great moving service. The actual movers crew were very efficient and professional. Though the scheduling team didnt plan properly to allow them enough time with the moves and so they were many hours late, the actual crew was amazing. The fact that they had a bigger move job in the morning and it delayed them before my move they didn't show that when helping with my move. Thanks to the crew so much! The office and scheduling team needs to be better though. Because my move window was for three hours and I waited over half that time before calling to see when they were coming and the office was not even sure. They should be checking with the crew and if behind schedule, which happens all the time with moves so it's understandable, but you need to inform your clients and customers. You cant just say i dont know and not be apologetic or offer to get it sorted. However again the crew was great and i highly recommend and will use them again probably for my next move.
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about cost, timing, and what Raleigh is actually like once the truck is unloaded. No fine print games.
What additional costs does Wellknown have?
Moving to Raleigh 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.
How much does it cost to move from Pennsylvania to North Carolina?
The estimated cost for a move from PA to NC ranges from $2,000 to $3,900 for a medium-sized home. The average cost for a move from PA to NC ranges from $3,000 to $6,000 for a medium-sized home. Prices vary based on the distance, amount of furniture, and any extra services like packing or storage. For a more accurate quote, it’s best to request a detailed estimate.
What is the cheapest long-distance moving option?
The most affordable way to move long distance is to rent a truck or use a moving container, where you handle packing and loading yourself. This can save money compared to full-service movers, though it requires more work on your end.
What is the cheapest month to move?
Winter months — especially January through March — are usually the least expensive time to move. Moving companies are less busy then, so rates are lower. Summer (May to September) tends to be the most expensive season.
