Durham Moving Services Are a Click Away

Every move is different. Whether it’s a home, office, or just a few items of heavy furniture, iMoving provides a whole menu of must-have services for moving in and out of Durham:

Long Distance Moving

There are plenty of long distance moving companies in Durham. Are they all worth your time? No. That's why iMoving weeds out the sketchy moving companies, so you're only choosng from the best of the best.

Before a long distance mover joins our network, they have to satisfy our strict requirements. We check safety records, customer feedback, and service histories - and once they join our marketplace, we even call in and pose as customers to keep 'em honest.

Local Moving

There are some sketchy moving companies in Durham, and there are some crews that really give it their all. It's our job to protect you from the bad ones, and make sure you're only shopping from the best of the best. You deserve top-rated movers in Durham, and that's what you're getting with iMoving.

Oh, we also make it super easy to shop for quotes. No need to deal with pushy sales agents or crappy websites. Just tell us what you need on your local move, and we'll give you a whole list of quotes that you can pick and choose from.

Packing Services

Professional packing services in Durham may seem like a luxury you can't afford, but it's one we've made accessible to everyone.

"But iMoving," you may be saying, "I was planning on wrapping all my stuff myself!" Let us be the first to tell you that your old t-shirts aren't enough to keep your fine china safe. You may have a few Amazon boxes left over from last Christmas, but our moving teams have high-quality boxes, padding supplies, and the experience and track record to prove they're legit. Plus, it's not as expensive as you'd expect.

Storage Services

Some people think of storage, and they immediately assume it'll be a long-term money-pit. But at iMoving, we've made it easy to find storage in Durham without breaking the bank - or wasting your time dealing with storage units, either. When you use iMoving to book storage solutions, you're getting on-site storage that's provided by some of the best movers in town.

We're big fans of full service storage. This means your items will live in an on-site facility, and when you've made some space at your new place, they'll be delivered straight to your door. No need to deal with multiple trips or truck rentals to get items out of a unit.

Commercial Moving

You've already got a million things to keep track of. Putting all of Carol in HR's knicknacks in a box so you can move offices is probably not on that list. Or at least, it shouldn't be.

If you're running a business, downtime is the enemy. That's why people like their meetings short, and that's why the commercial movers in the iMoving network can get your HQ packed up and transported in record time. Looking for the best commercial moving company in Durham? We've got 'em. Just tell us more about the job, and we'll connect you with the professionals you deserve.

FAQ

What’s the Best Time of Year to Move to Durham?

Durham may have decent weather sometimes, but we always recommend a mid-month, mid-week move, in any season but the summer. Take a word of advice from the iMoving pros: Avoid a June, July, or August move if possible. It’s the most expensive time to move, and it’s usually WAY too hot for hauling boxes.

How Much Will a Durham Move Cost Me?

A Durham move can cost you anywhere from $350 to $8300 and beyond. It all comes down to how much you’re moving, and how far you’re traveling. Keep in mind, that local movers charge per mover, per hour (with about 2 movers per room), and long-distance movers charge by weight (or volume) and miles.

How Do Moving Containers Work?

Moving containers are a great middle ground between a DIY job and hiring full-service movers. A moving container company will drop off the container at your place, and you can fill it up on your own schedule. When it's ready to go, just contact the container company and they'll pick it up and transport it for you. It's like having a portable storage unit that gets delivered to your door.

How Should I Prepare for my Durham Move?

To prepare for a move in Durham, we recommend taking a few important steps. First, make sure you've got a job lined up at your destination. Secondly, downsize as much as possible before shopping for movers. If you're doing your own packing, box up your stuff starting with the least-used items, and always pack an essentials bag so you aren't stuck rooting through boxes for your toothbrush or clean underwear.

What is a Moving Shuttle?

When you move to a more built-up or urban area, chances are they won't let you park an entire semi-truck in front of your apartment. Your movers will have to park the main truck at a staging area and use a smaller box truck or van to transport your stuff to (and from) the trailer. This is called a moving shuttle, and the inconvenience comes at a price. Blame your city council.
