Jake, JJ, Dez were incredible. I had the best experience beginning to end. The scheduling was easy, they were on time, and charged me less than they said they would. Thank you!

We did a local move and couldn’t recommend port city movers more! From the virtual meeting of figuring out what we wanted them to move, to the actual moving day—everything went seamless. Not a single piece of our furniture was ruined & our team of movers were the nicest gentlemen. Taylor, Ant, Mike, and Austin were efficient and communicated with us about every piece and made sure we were happy with where they placed them in our new house! Again, great experience & even better price. Worth every penny!

We had a great experience with Port City Movers for our move from Charlotte to Wilmington. The team was careful with our belongings and made the entire process go smoothly. They took the time to properly wrap and secure everything, which gave us a lot of confidence that our things were being well taken care of. Jake was there for both the loading and unloading and was incredibly helpful, communicative, and thorough in explaining everything. Dez and Larry helped load the truck and were also great—very friendly, respectful, and clearly good at what they do. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely recommend Port City Movers to others!
