Moving in Wilmington
The Triangle and Charlotte have large numbers of newer HOA communities with strict rules on truck size and moving hours — worth checking the covenant before the crew is dispatched. What decides a Wilmington crew day is rarely the mileage — it is the stair count, the parking and whether anything has to come apart to clear a doorway. The closest market we also cover is Fayetteville, 90 miles out.
The survey matters more here than the postcode: two houses on the same street in Wilmington can be a half-day apart once stairs and access are counted.

Moving in Wilmington: common questions
Which Wilmington ZIP codes do you cover?
28401, 28402, 28403, 28404, 28405, 28406, 28407, 28408 and the rest of the delivery area. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How long does a move from Wilmington take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Fayetteville, NC — 90 mi, 1 day; Raleigh, NC — 130 mi, 1 day; Cary, NC — 140 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of New Hanover County?
Yes. Wilmington is what people search for, but crews run throughout New Hanover County and the surrounding towns.
Do you pack as well as move in Wilmington?
Full pack, partial pack, or just the fragile things — kitchens, art and electronics are the usual partial-pack request. It matters beyond convenience: damage to a carton you packed yourself is generally not covered the way a professionally packed one is.
