Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in Tar Heel, NC 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 Tar Heel, NC, 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.
A local move (or 'intrastate' move), according to moving companies' policies, is considered to be any move that stays within your state's border lines. You can go anywhere within the state – whether it's across Tar Heel, NC or all the way to the other side of the state; it doesn't matter. It is important to keep this in mind because if at any time the moving truck crosses a border – no matter if on purpose or by accident – your move will be considered long distance instead of local. This can happen due to poor navigation or for a quicker route, but either way you should be sure this won't happen in order to stay within the parameters of a local move.
Often, people will underestimate the importance of comparing moving companies when moving locally. The common thought is that the shorter the move, the less your moving company matters, but this could not be farther from the truth! Your local move is just as important as any kind of long distance move, and you should treat it as such. Do not throw away your checklist just because the move is short. If you don't take your time while choosing a local moving company, you risk costing yourself a lot more money than you really need to spend.
When comparing local moving companies in Tar Heel, NC, just like any other type of move, you should always check around for different prices first. If you can get a written price estimate rather than a verbal estimate, this will make your life ten times easier when you get into the moving company's office. You should also consider what size truck you'll be needing and whether or not you will be packing your belongings into it yourself or with help from the movers. Wirefly guarantees that your mover will always be properly licensed and insured, but if you are not using Wirefly then you should double check this yourself.
How many state lines you cross during your move is irrelevant when it comes to whether your move will be considered long distance or not: if you have crossed one, then you may as well cross them all! It is important to note that if you choose a route that crosses a state line (even to save time moving your possessions), then it will be considered a long-distance move.
If you are a long-distance mover in Tar Heel, NC, then you will be required to hold a license from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which is a federal governing body that regulates residential moving and trucking industries. The laws and regulations created by the FMCSA must be adhered to, so Wirefly only works with the movers who can present their proper licensing and insurance. However, we do advise our customers to conduct their own research on any moving service we refer them to. After assuring the movers have proper documentation, it's responsible to also review performance records as well as accident and complaint reports located on the USDOT website.
A long-distance move to or from Tar Heel, NC will cost more than a local move, so it is important to consider all the components involved when obtaining a moving quote and comparing referrals. Just because a company offers you the lowest quote doesn't mean you are getting the best deal. Picture this: you need assistance with packing your possessions, but you find out that service is not included in the original quote the moving company you chose gave you. Like many companies, this company charges extra for additional services, and in the end, it's more expensive (and a much bigger hassle) than it would have been if you'd have chosen a company with a higher quote, but they include all services at a flat rate. So, our suggestion is to ask for a 'binding moving estimate' (an estimate that lists out all expected costs and guarantees there are no additional hidden costs to be added) from the company you are getting an estimate from. We hear the same questions often, such as: Can I pack my possessions before the movers arrive? Can I trust that my items will be safely transported to my new home? Would it be more beneficial to rent a truck and do this all on my own?

Office moving in Tar Heel, NC is different than residential moving. Large equipment such as computer systems, copy machines, phone systems, and servers as well as many small items require a moving company with expertise in handling office moves. We can recommend office movers who are licensed, insured, and knowledgeable with such tasks as taking apart cubicles, moving technology safely, and bringing durable crates to ensure that small items can be moved safely.
It can be difficult with a business to find a time in which business activities can be suspended long enough for a move to take place. Moving offices can be disruptive to the business process, and in some cases it may not be practical to suspend all activities. A moving company may not be able to avoid working around employees and clients. Your business may not have the luxury of being able to unload and unpack its items in a concerted way over a period of days, when moving companies may load and unload all your items in 24 hours or less.
With Wirefly, you can find the right Tar Heel, NC office movers who will properly move your office while respecting your time. Our service works only with moving companies that have proven themselves when working with corporate office moves.

We won’t work with a company unless we’re fully confident of its ability to deliver down to the smallest detail.

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.
