The four gentlemen who moved us were extremely courteous, professional and efficient. Ozzy, Christian, Jerel and Jermaine took great care of our home and our belongings.

We would highly recommend Coastal Carrier!Amy Laughlin ★★★★★ We recently used Coastal Carriers for an in town move. They did an excellent job! Manny was the main contact and he was very responsive and accommodating. He also worked extremely hard on moving day to make sure everything went well. The crew was equally great. Foreman Ozzy kept everything on track and a great attitude through moving day as it poured rain. Our antique furniture was kept safe and sound! Christian, Tim, Bruce, and James M. were all wonderful and helpful. They all worked so hard to make sure our things were delivered safely to the right place (3 different locations!) Thanks Coastal movers!Renzo M ★★★★★ Coastal Carrier Moving & Storage moved our furniture from New Jersey to South Carolina. It was the right choice to hire Coastal Carrier Moving. We hired them for both moving and storage services. Dealing with their Sales Rep Manny was a great experience. He was professional, responsive, courteous, and knowledgeable. They were also flexible in their scheduling that helped us avoid scheduling issues. Their movers were excellent; both courteous and helpful. It took them over 10 hours to unload our house. At first I was a little skeptical about the size of their business with such a large volume of furniture and a very distant re-location, but Coastal Movers came thru. They performed above and beyond our expectations.Donna Stillman ★★★★★ I used Coastal Carrier recently and I was very pleased with the service and the four gentlemen that did the move ( Cole, Steve P., Tim P., and Ross). They were very professional, let me know when they would be there, and got the job done in no time. Highly recommend this company. Keep up the outstanding workTeresa Tyler ★★★★★ Brian, Matthew, Russell and Glenn were the nicest guys. So professional in every way. They took care with all my furniture from the way they wrapped it to the extra care in loading and unloading it. Brian made sure everything was just right and and the guys were done and loaded in no time. I'm making another move and I've already scheduled Coastal. Manny made all the scheduling plans. He was so nice to deal with. He has already coordinated my next move. The way these guys all work together made my stressful move alot smoother!! Thanks again!!Kate Rife ★★★★★ Lisa Cleveland ★★★★★ Justin, Jason & Greg were phenomenal! They carried the heaviest furniture EVER up & down 3 flights of stairs! Wow! They were sweating, but their attitude was top-notch! Thank you!Zoe Jones ★★★★★ Manny was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. The 2 movers, Riley & Justin worked very hard and quickly, took great care with our items.L Burns ★★★★★ Amazing company to work with, highly recommend to anyone who is looking for first class service and professionalism at reasonable prices! From Manny who helped us get everything set-up to the outstanding crew who moved our family member's furniture with care and attention as if it were their own, we could not have been more pleased. Keep up the great work, outstanding service!E. McDonough ★★★★★ We’ve moved 10 times in the past 18 years and this move was definitely the least stressful. The team was very professional and worked together well. Very hard workers (I don’t remember them taking a break!!). No furniture damage or any problems. The foreman on the team was Kaleb and he communicated with us during the process. The relocation specialist was Manny Clark and he too did everything to make the move stress free. I highly recommend Coastal Carrier Moving.Matthew Hux ★★★★★ I used Coastal Carrier for my move. They are very responsive and helpful for the quote and are very competitive on pricing. The movers were on time and very professional. They took care not to damage property and made sure we were happy with the location of everything they unloaded. Very polite and professional. I highly recommend.Deborah Wright ★★★★★ Coastal Carrier Moving & Storage is the best! The moving crew (Jim, Ozzie, Dave, & Mike) did an awesome job moving me. They worked hard, were fast, and packed the truck very well. No broken items. Jim worked on getting my appliances hooked up and went out of his way to trouble shoot issues in the new home. Big thumbs up!!Gary Faulk ★★★★★ The Team of Cole, Vermy, Glenn, Manny, and Justin J we’re very professional from start to finish. They arrived on time and loaded and unloaded at our new location the same day. They far exceeded our expectations and would recommend them for your relocation needs.karen Houghton ★★★★★ Mike was extremely nice and helpful during the quote process. Chris and the gentleman who was with him, his name escapes me, we’re steady and considerate during the pickup and drop off. They moved my mother and stepfather from Myrtle Beach to New York. They did it in 2-1/2 days and it went extremely smooth. My mother was extremely nervous, but she was very satisfied with their professionalism and care of her belongings. I would highly recommend them.sheila janis ★★★★★ Recently moved from Upstate NY to Murrells Inlet, SC. Coastal Carrier was recommended by a close friend who used CC a for a cross country move. He highly recommended CC and they definitely lived up to their reputation. From the initial contact with sales manager, Manny Clark, to the arrival date/time of my pickup, to the delivery date/time of my delivery, all promises were kept and the move was stress free. Special thanks to James and Floyd for their kindness and professionalism and taking extra care with our personal belongings especially the cars/motorcycle. They coordinated tow truck/lift services perfectly in NY and SC to load and unload the vehicles safely onto the moving truck. CC took the stress out of moving 825 miles and I would highly recommend them 100% for your next move. Thank you to everyone at CC ....truly a class act..keep up the great work...Steven and SheilaCarolyn Hillegass ★★★★★ Manny, Chris and team were professional, on time, very careful with our furniture, fragile items and antiques. We highly recommend Coastal Carrier for short or long runs!Larry Paige ★★★★★ the movers worked hard to get everything done in one day, they were professional and politeCheri Gilley ★★★★★ Our 14th move and by far the best. These guys did a great job. Arrived on time, worked hard, wrapped everything!! At new location everything had been labled for where it went and all went smoothly. Would use this company again if needed. Great job.Melissa Steward ★★★★★ If I ould give these hard working gentleman 10 stars, I would. They called 10 mins before arriving. I had 4 guys: Preston the lead, two Brandon's and Gary. In my whole life I have never met such polite and efficient movers. Yes ma'am and no ma'am, even asked to use the restroom and Preston always asked if I minded if they took a water break. It was a dream! They were fast and efficient and packed my furniture very well to be held in their storage. They are also taking several items to Habitat for Humanity Restore to donate. Amazing. Highly recommended and I will use them two more times that I know of! Thanks guys!!Michael Eisenhardt ★★★★★ Steve Barbour ★★★★★ Robert Sprance ★★★★★ Kyle, Parker and Mark were very attentive to wrapping everything, careful with moving everything and understanding any questions or concerns. Great teamKimber Henry ★★★★★ This company was literally the best to work with from start to finish! James ensured that I was scheduled to move in an efficient amount of time so that I would have time to settle in prior to starting a new job. It alleviated so much stress. Justin and Grey moved my things in and were extremely helpful and kind! They even put my bed together for me. There were some paperwork things that I needed after the move was over and with no questions asked they were able to meet my requests! I will definitely use this company for any moves in the future!Chromedome54 ★★★★★ Coastal Carrier was outstanding. Michael set the whole expedited move up from a video walk through with us. Sent us a detailed list of everything we were going to have moved with total item count, estimated pounds and cubes.. We continued to communicate with him as we added and deleted items. Bottom line is they were extremely thorough and we had an extremely good idea of what it was going to cost us.. in the end he was pretty damn close.Preston and Brandon were excellent. Knowledgeable, professional, busted their butts loading are whole house in less time than we've had four man crews do. I would recommend this company to anyone that wants the job of moving a short distance or several states away as we did. The beat we've ever used and we've moved 5 times down the east coast.BOTTOM LINE, "THE BEST!"Jan Grimes ★★★★★ Brian and his crew were awesome, my move involved multiple stops and adding items to an already crowded storage unit. They repacked everything so all my stuff fit, more than I ever thought could go in there. Timely,professional, and took great care with all my items. Highly recommend!Jeff Hawkins ★★★★★ Coastal Carrier is responsible and responsive. This was the second time I have used their service. They respect you property as if it was their own. All furniture was padded and wrapped. I would use them again.Joe Michaels ★★★★★ Excellent movers, on time, curtious, careful and respectful. Chad and his crew listened,worked very hard and handle everything like it was there own. Extremely happy with these men.Charles Gaiser ★★★★☆ Our 3 step step ladder was apparently.left on truck. It did not make it to.our new house.Chad ★★★★☆ I’ll preface this review with the fact that I have moved 20 times in the last 20 years, so I have considerable experience. I’ve seen the “good” and “bad” when it comes to moving, and overall Coastal Carrier Moving and Storage was very good, but a few things prevent me from giving a 5 star rating.I’ll start with the positives:1.) They were able to accommodate one of my preferred move dates on extremely short notice after my original movers (All My Sons Moving & Storage) tried to increase the price of my binding estimate and change my move date four days before the scheduled move. Coastal came to the rescue and they fit me into their schedule for a move between states (SC to NC) two days after coming out to perform the on-site estimate, and best of all they completed the move all in one day instead of spacing it out over two days.2.) The four man crew worked hard loading and unloading despite the 90+ degree heat, and for the most part handled everything with care.3.) Their pricing was competitive relative to other estimates that I received.Now, for the negatives:1.) The travel time took far longer than expected. What is typically a 3 hour drive in a car took them more than 6 hours to complete. Now I realize they had to make stops to refuel and a fully loaded truck won’t travel at the speed of a car, but I was surprised at how long it took for them to arrive, especially after they arrived 45 minutes later than the ETA they provided when they were an hour away. Granted my move was based upon total weight, so the delay didn’t impact the price I paid.2.) During the unloading process two of the crew members (foreman and crew member) got into a heated altercation. It escalated to the point for the foreman threatened to call the police. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed and they finished the job without that happening.3.) Also during the unloading process and well before the job was finished, I was pressured to provide the gratuity for the services in tandem with the payment for the job. Additionally, at multiple times during the job, the foreman made remarks about expectations regarding gratuity. Personally, I would have preferred waiting until everything was unloaded before making my decision about how much to tip.4.) I personally padded and shrink wrapped nearly all of the items that were moved before the movers arrived, even though the crew provided their own moving blankets and wrap. I prefer having extra protection whenever possible. Unfortunately, a few of the items that I didn’t wrap myself sustained damage during the move. Nothing was completely destroyed, but a few of the items sustained chips, scratches, etc. Given the fact that I only accepted basic coverage, no claim was filed to address the damage, so I can’t speak to how they handle their claim process.5.) I was charged for some materials that ultimately weren’t needed. My estimate included multiple mattress bags, but I supplied my own, as well as my own shrink wrap, but my final bill included charges for the materials that weren’t supplied. This coupled with the fact that they initially tried to collect on a credit card processing fee for the deposit, which I was assured would be waved was a little frustrating. Fortunately, after a couple of phone calls the processing fee issue was cleared up and not assessed.In the end, I would utilize their services again because of how well they executed, especially given the circumstances.Trish Tesh ★★★★☆ Crew for packing, loading and unloading were very professional, friendly and well-mannered. Packing itself was very well done, items were carefully wrapped and padded and packing went much quicker than anticipated, as did loading and unloading. Storage between loading and unloading was a great help. However, no company is perfect and here is why we couldn’t give 5 stars:*in many instances packers put items from different rooms in one box just to fill the box, which resulted in having to open boxes from every room to find all items from one room-for example kitchen items were packed with guest room items. This happened with the majority of the boxes, not all kitchen items together, not all bathroom items together etc etc. Makes unpacking and putting away a challenge at best.*some boxes marked as one room but were from a different room*prepacked plastic totes ended up with heavy items packed on top, so several were crushed and cracked and had to be thrown outBut even with the above mentioned issues, this was the easiest and most damage free move we’ve ever made...and we’ve moved 6 times in the past 13 years-even one move from China to NC. Coastal Carriers were the highest of the 3 estimates we got, but you get what you pay for with movers. I’d recommend them to anyone. They’re as close to perfect as any company can be.Michael M ★★☆☆☆ Call them twice to get an estimate on a move and 3 days later still no call back from anybody called again find out what was going on they have told me somebody would get in touch with me still waiting.Sandra Fambrough ★★☆☆☆ Brandon was fantastic in the care and attention he gave to our furniture. He carefully wrapped each piece, paying special attention to the furniture pieces that we indicated had strong sentimental or monetary value. Chris, on the other hand, was in too much of a hurry to get us packed, moved, and him off. He packed our belonging on the truck, damaged our refrigerator, broke our outdoor storage container, and shoved the door open so hard at our new residence that he damaged the wall.js_loader

Frequently Asked Question

What Is The Best Day To Hire Residential Movers?

Arrow Down

Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are the best days to hire residential movers. Moving companies are likely fully booked since most people move during the weekend. If you want an expedited move, try to book your move on a weekday or earlier in the week. And, since movers are not busy during the weekdays, the prices might be lower.

How To Stay Productive During A Commercial Move?

Arrow Down

To minimize disruption and maintain high levels of productivity, we recommend the following:

  1. Planning – create a checklist of all the activities you must carry out before the move and allocate specific time to doing them.
  2. Outsourcing all the logistics to qualified commercial moving partners like Coastal Carrier Moving and Storage. Doing this will free up your time to work on your business. You’ll also have the peace of mind to focus, knowing your move will occur without a hitch.

 

 

What Is The Best Time Of Year To Hire Long-Distance Movers?

Arrow Down

The best time of the year to hire long-distance movers is between October and April. It is the off-peak moving season. You’ll pay the least to move in November and December. Business is slow for most moving companies during this time because people generally don’t relocate during the holidays.

What Is The Best Day To Hire Local Movers?

Arrow Down

The best day to hire local movers is during the week – from Monday to Thursday. Since most people plan their moves for the weekend, weekdays are generally less busy so that the move can go faster, and you’ll get a better service price.
