Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in North Carolina can be a big decision with a lot of moving parts (pun intended). That's where Wirefly comes in. We make it easy for you to find and compare the best moving companies in North Carolina, including home movers, office movers, long distance movers, international movers, and auto transport companies to make your move as simple and pain free as possible.
No matter if you’re simply moving around town in North Carolina or to the opposite part of the state, you should consult a moving company to help manage your transition. However, when planning your move with a professional mover, keep in mind that once they pass your state line, it is considered a long-distance move. This means that not only can they charge more, but it may be illegal for their company to perform such as move.
Just like any move, you have to prepare the same and consider any concerns you have with your movers. This is why it’s so important to do proper research on the best intrastate movers to use. When choosing what moving company to go with, consider the following questions: What kind of truck do you need? Do you need a pre-rented storage facility or does your home have adequate space? Will your movers pack your belongings, or do you plan to do that? Is the moving company you’re hiring as fully insured and licensed? Do you have a prepared budget? Have you gotten quotes from a variety of moving companies in North Carolina? Although you may not have all the answers to these questions, Wirefly is here to help you make your final decision on hiring a professional moving company.
As far as long-distance moves are concerned, they all fit into that category whether there’s one state line being crossed or several on the way to the consumer’s next home. Long distance moves also cover situations where the move ends at a city within the original state, but the moving route crosses a state line at some point to make the trip shorter. This is a common scenario for states that have uneven state lines, such as Texas, Wisconsin, Idaho, Minnesota and quite a few others.
The federal governing body that licenses long-distance moving companies in North Carolina is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which covers the residential moving and trucking industries. They also set up and enforce the regulations for long-distance moves. Wirefly verifies that all the movers in its network have the requisite insurance and licensing, but it’s still a good idea for consumers to look into moving companies on their own. While doing so, the consumer can check out a company’s performance records. The USDOT website is helpful for reviewing long-distance moving companies, and it will have accident and complaint reports available.
Of course, long distance moves tend to cost more than local moves. It’s important for consumers to remember that there are several factors that go into the cost of a move, and just because one moving company has the lowest quote doesn’t mean that will be the cheapest option. There could be services the consumer needs that aren’t included in one or more of the companies’ quotes, such as assistance packing up possessions. It’s common for moving quotes to only cover the most basic moving services and for any other services to cost extra. Consumers can avoid unexpected charges by getting a binding moving estimate from the moving company they choose, which has a list of all anticipated costs and guarantees that the moving company isn’t going to add any hidden costs. In setting up a long distance move, consumers in North Carolina will also need to figure out if they’d like to pack their belongings and then fly to their new home before the movers arrive, or if it’s better to rent a truck and move their belongings themselves.
Some people go beyond just moving across state lines. In some cases, some people move from one country to another completely, which is easily done in North Carolina considering its location in relation to other countries further south. Therefore, many moving companies offer international services in a reliable way that has made them rather reputable for their services. The companies that offer this service are more than able to do as requested, and they are able to do so with reassurance.
Moving companies in the North Carolina area that offer international moving services are all upstanding members of FIDI, which is the biggest alliance of professional movers who work on an international level. There are many ways to maintain the standards that make these companies an Accredited International Mover, and some research needs to be done on the part of the person moving to make sure these standards are upheld. Some locations to perform this research include the American Moving & Storage Association, the Better Business Bureau, and the Household Goods Forwarder Association. Looking into what information these sources contain on prospective moving companies will reveal which ones are the best for which to consider requesting a quote.
Moving an office is incredible different from any other type of move you will experience. Offices usually have a large amount of heavy equipment that needs to be moved with a lot of patience and care in order to protect it from any damage. Wirefly only works with companies in North Carolina that are properly trained to handle moving your equipment – among other things, such as cubicles, servers, and phone systems.
When moving office spaces, you are under much tighter time constraints than other moving circumstances. Unlike your personal life, your business is not able to just be put on hold while you wait for the movers to finish work. On top of that, you simply don't have the time to close things down while you set up your whole new office once your things arrive. With the companies we list, you won't have to worry about any of this. Wirefly only works with the best companies in North Carolina that can move and set up your new office space with all your equipment for you in as little as one day. We only work with companies who are sure to do everything right so that you don't have to worry about a thing – right down to the pens and the sticky notes.
Not only does Wirefly’s network also include reliable car shipping companies, it can help consumers get rates on transporting your automobile. For those consumers who can’t drive their car during a move, Wirefly can find companies in North Carolina that can handle both a home move and transporting that car.
Transporting an entire home’s worth of furnishing, clothing and other items may be the biggest challenge of a move, but it’s certainly not the only challenge. Most Americans have at least one car that they need transported when it’s time to move, and that’s where a reliable car shipping company enters the equation. While consumers often simply drive their cars to their new homes, that isn’t always an option, and even when it is, it may not be convenient if it’s a long move or the consumer is already driving a moving truck.
Just like the other moving companies in the Wirefly network, all of the auto transport companies in North Carolina that it partners with are fully licensed, insured and ready to handle anything that comes up during the car transportation process. Wirefly only works with moving companies that it truly believes are the very best in the business. These companies don’t just deliver belongings, but they give consumers the peace of mind that comes with a reliable moving company and a hassle-free, successful move.
Moving a vehicle doesn’t need to add stress to planning a move. People who need their cars transported can trust the moving companies in the Wirefly network to handle all their auto shipping needs.
