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.

Planning a move to Richmond? WellKnown Moving Company makes long-distance moving simple. With teams in both Philadelphia and Richmond, we handle everything at a flat rate—no surprise fees. Our movers plan the details, so you don’t have to. We’re FMCSA-certified, fully insured, and trusted by past customers. Most moves from Philadelphia to Richmond take just one to two days. Whether you’re relocating to Downtown, The Fan District, or the suburbs, we’ll get you there stress-free. Every move includes basic moving insurance at no extra cost. If you want extra protection, we’ll explain how homeowners insurance or renters insurance can apply when moving house.

How we move you

We know the I-95 route and plan around traffic for smooth timing. From Philly’s tight rowhouses to Richmond’s building rules, we’ve got it covered. Need a Certificate of Insurance (COI) or elevator reserved? We’ll handle it. We also move to nearby areas like Henrico, Chesterfield, and Midlothian.

Each crew has a leader with at least three years of long-distance moving experience. Our movers are trained, background-checked, and equipped to handle heavy, fragile, or oversized items safely.

We load, unload, and place your items where you want them. Our movers carry furniture, appliances, and boxes through stairs or narrow spaces. We also disassemble large furniture, move it safely, and then assemble it again in your new home.

We pack with materials you provide or ours. Glassware, electronics, and fragile items are wrapped securely for transport. If needed, we offer storage. Use short-term storage during a move or renovation. Use long-term storage for furniture, seasonal items, or family belongings. All storage is secure, with flexible access and payment options.

Flat rates with no surprises

We set your price upfront—stairs or small detours won’t change it. Only large or tricky items (like pianos or oversized appliances) may cost more. A deposit secures your date, and if you cancel at least two weeks ahead, we’ll refund it.

Before moving day, we’ll review your inventory, packing needs, and special requests. You can choose add-ons like furniture-only moving or a shared truck to lower costs.

Life in Richmond

Richmond blends history with opportunity in healthcare, education, and government. Explore the Virginia State Capitol, the Civil War Museum, or the James River Park System.

The city’s food scene ranges from Southern favorites to farm-to-table dining. Compared to Philadelphia, Richmond offers a lower cost of living, lighter traffic, and more affordable housing in areas like Short Pump, Bon Air, and Glen Allen.

Our Moving Process from Philadelphia to Richmond

Pre-Move Consultation

This means that the price we quote you won't change even if the job takes longer or shorter. Learn More About our Pricing

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 or special pricing, we'll find out during the call.

Loading and Transportation

On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location in Philadelphia. If a packing service 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.

Arrange On-Time Delivery & Unpacking

Then we move straight to the final location in Richmond or make a stop at the storage, 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.

Post-Move Support

Afterward, we are available to provide counseling and help with any questions you may have after the move. If you find your belongings missing or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. We will solve everything!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to Richmond 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 most affordable times are usually mid-week and mid-month. Demand is lower then compared to weekends and the beginning or end of the month, which helps reduce prices. Moving during the off-season (late fall or winter) can also save you money. 

Moving costs are based on several factors, including the distance between Philadelphia and Richmond, the size of your move (measured by the volume or weight of your belongings), the number of movers required, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or special handling. 

You can cut costs by booking early, choosing flexible moving dates, and reducing the number of items you take with you. Packing some or all of your belongings yourself can also lower expenses.
