Moving to or from Delaware
Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Jersey are all within a single-day run. Longer moves trend south to Florida and the Carolinas.
Beach-area deliveries peak sharply between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when local traffic on Route 1 can add hours to a crew day and push a delivery into the following morning.
Whether the job stays inside Delaware or crosses state lines, the same company handles it end to end. United Relocation is an FMCSA-authorized motor carrier — we are not passing your shipment to whichever crew happens to bid on it.

Moving in Delaware: common questions
What does a move from Delaware depend on?
Weight and distance first — Philadelphia, PA is about 30 miles out, New York, NY about 140, and that gap alone changes the job. Short distances keep the base low; beach-season traffic is what adds crew hours. Our published starting rates give you a floor — $250 an hour on a local move, from $1,800 on a long haul — and the number that binds is a written estimate against your actual inventory, which is free.
Which cities in Delaware do you serve?
Wilmington is the largest market in the state at roughly 72,000 people, and we also run crews in Dover. Smaller towns are covered too, though rural addresses sometimes need a shuttle from a smaller truck.
How long does a move out of Delaware take?
Inside Delaware, normally loaded and delivered the same day. Interstate, distance sets it: Philadelphia, PA at 30 miles lands in a day, New York, NY at 140 miles takes longer. Memorial Day to Labor Day is the constrained window at the coast.
