It wasn't easy finding someone in this area for a short move, but we were completely satisfied and would definitely use Local Moving Services again. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks again Adrian and Pedro for your hard work and professionalism and Ken for setting up the scheduling. The best!

I booked LMS back in February 2026 to unpack a POD in May. I called probably 3x in between to…read moreverify things, and I'm so glad they didn't want to hang up on my nervous self. (This move has been a stressful one for me.) They called to confirm the night before, and on the morning of, my two gents (shout out to Ross and CJ!) showed up 30 mins early. EARLY! That's unheard of in this day and age. I was impressed!!!! It took these two about 3hrs to unload our 16ft POD. I wasn't aware, but they do a 10% military discount. (We paid cash to avoid the 3% card fee.) There was a $100 deposit at the time of booking, which came off our bill. And of course, we tipped--which they are allowed to accept. (Thanks Ken for being an amazing owner that allows that!) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LMS for your moving needs. While this move was out of pocket for us, I hope that they're contracted with the military for our next (and FINAL, hallelujah) move. Ross and CJ, much love to you both. Thanks for being all around great humans!

These guys know their stuff. They arrived with a big truck, dollies, two wheelers, straps and…read moreblankets. They were ready to work. Loading was carefully and thoughtfully analyzed to maximize space while still ensuring things did not rub, chafe or get damaged. All three had positive attitude and displayed a sense of humor while doing hard work. Some of our possessions have great sentimental value and were shown special care. I would use them without hesitation.

TLDR; AVOID THIS DISHONEST AND SHADY MOVING COMPANY…read more Really and truly would give 0 starts if I could. This company came highly recommended by a close friend. Communication with the company is essentially nonexistent and I have reached out to handle this matter privately but he refuses to respond- The crew showed up 2 hours after the OWNER arranged the time for pack-out. They "didn't know" they were supposed to pack my things in boxes??? And said they couldn't move us because they didn't bring packing material. I tried to contact Jason via text and call (2x) and the crew called Jason as well. He would only communication with the crew and the only way this ever got discussed was because the crew ended up calling him on speaker phone with me there. Ultimately, the crew moved "what they could" and left everything else for us to move ourselves.... While still charging us the full price I was quoted. Being 7 months pregnant, I hired movers to make the process smooth and easy, and boy was it FAR from that. Again, I have reached out and asked Jason to discuss this experience with me and have heard nothing back from him.

We sold our house in Swansboro and agreed to a closing date only two days after Thanksgiving…read more Thankfully Mr. Eddie and his very organized and professional team came up with a plan that insured the house would be packed and loaded before closing day. 7 men arrive and we quickly learned they really knew how to pack a household. Donnie, Ronnie, Neal, Andrew, Paul, Ira and John were all courteous, respectful of our home and belongings, and were very capable. When it came to move into our new home and placing furniture and boxes, they were equally professional and respectful. We've moved several times in the past 25 years but this was the most stress free move we can recall. We would give them 10 stars if we could. Hank and Sue Sent from my iPhone

We have used them twice. 1. Charges are excessive--they are…read morethe only moving company here--but take it from us get one from Jacksonville it will be cheaper and much better. -We originally moved from Durham with another moving company and paid $1200--for this local move we paid $977 and we had LESS STUFF! They charged $85 travel surcharge when we moved from Beaufort to Newport/MHC border. -Movers were pleasant but obviously did not move quickly. We tried two movers the first time, and three this time--same amount of time to load and unload! SO save your money if you still chose to use them 2. HORRIBLE customer service. They damaged our headboard and a coffee table. They said they'd repair it quickly. I repeatedly had to call them to find out where it was...Christy was the only pleasant person when I talked to her, everyone else said it "was out of their control!" After calling and always hearing--"next week", we filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and then I called the State Utilities Commission in Raleigh. They immediately called me back and called Acme. Suddenly my stuff was ready for delivery the next day! IT TOOK SIX WEEKS for them to get it to us. In summary, if you want to: 1. Over pay 2. Receive no customer service 3. Live without a bed for 6 weeks 4. And have your furniture permanently mismatched THEN by all means THIS IS the company for you!

We're military and the military sent them to us for a cross country move. We have moved several…read moretimes and have never had this issue. They stole from us, nothing major but still the fact that they would take items that don't belong to them was beyond comprehension. When we called them on it, they flat out denied it and the manager said that everyone goes through background checks. No attempt to rectify or try to fix the issue. It was truly disappointing. By the way Yes, I'm sure they go through backgrounds but all that means is that they've never been charged with a crime. The simplest thing to do would have been is to check your truck for our items! We will NEVER use them and please beware! I guess they assume that as military we get reimbursed anyway but wow I can't believe how blatant they where. Please stay away! Especially military. We've notified Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point as well.
