What to plan for when moving to South Carolina
Coastal storms
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Coastal moves in late summer and fall need flexible dates.
Historic Charleston
Narrow streets on the Charleston peninsula can limit access for large trucks. We plan any shuttle service during the estimate.
Gated communities
Many coastal and golf communities require gate access lists and set moving hours. Share these with us before move day.
How your move to South Carolina works
- Quote and inventory. Call or request a quote online. A moving coordinator goes through your rooms, large furniture and boxes, because long distance price depends on the weight or volume you ship.
- Written estimate. You receive a written estimate listing every charge, your pickup date and your delivery window. Read about binding and non-binding estimates before you sign.
- Packing and loading. We pack what you choose, wrap furniture, and inventory every item on the bill of lading.
- Transport to South Carolina. Your shipment travels about 650 to 800 miles. If your new home isn’t ready, it can go into storage until it is.
- Delivery. The crew unloads, places furniture in the rooms you choose, and reassembles what was taken apart.
Frequently asked questions
How far is a move from New Jersey to South Carolina?
Driving distance from North Jersey is roughly 650 miles to Myrtle Beach, 740 miles to Greenville and 770 miles to Charleston.
Do you deliver to gated communities in South Carolina?
Yes. Send us the gate and HOA requirements in advance so the crew is on the access list.
How is the cost of a long distance move calculated?
Interstate moves are priced by the weight or cubic volume of your shipment and the distance, plus any extra services such as packing, storage, long carries, stairs or shuttle trucks. Your written estimate must list every charge.
How long does a long distance move take?
It depends on distance and season. Your order for service must state an agreed pickup date and a delivery window, and the mover must tell you if pickup or delivery will be late. Ask for both dates in writing before you book.
What protection do I get if something is damaged?
Interstate movers must offer two liability options. Full Value Protection makes the mover repair, replace or pay the current value of a damaged item. Released Value is free but covers only 60 cents per pound per item.
