Dexter and Kyle from Moving Hands did a great job unloading our pod yesterday. They were timely, courteous and worked hard. They wrapped up the unloading of our 16-foot pod in 2 hours. Lastly, though they were set to unload our pod a day later, I called Moving Hands when our pod arrived earlier than expected. Dexter shifted the move date as per my request and unloaded our pod a day earlier. I truly expect their flexibility.

Real Advice from Philadelphia Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Philadelphia. (They’re really nice!)

"If moving in the center city/downtown area of Philadelphia get a permit for your truck, because parking is nearly impossible down there. Also from my experience in the moving industry in the Philadelphia market its a little easier to book a uhual truck."

Residential Power Services Profile Image - Residential Power Services

"It’s always best to plan your move during days and hours that has less street traffic if it is an inner city move. This will help cut down any unforeseen delays."

ManPro Profile Image - ManPro

"Whether you're moving to or from the east coast, most places are good for driving moving trucks and PODS. There are some small streets, but you'll be fine for the most part."
