A coworker recently asked for moving company recommendations, and I remembered how great of an experience I had with Ted's in 2017. That prompted me to make sure I had left a review, which looks like I didn't, so here I am. The owner, Ted, is an Air Force veteran, and his discipline really shows in his moving company as well. Everything him and his crew moved for me made it in perfect condition with no dings to the walls or doors. I also really liked that when we made it to my new place, we went through the condo and gave each room a name. So as the crew brought boxes and furniture in, I simply had to tell them which room to put it in. They even helped me assemble the furniture and centered everything. Which, I'm a stickler for, so the centering was much appreciated. High quality service, well thought out process, and reasonably priced. read more

Ted's Moving promises to deliver exceptional service and a pleasurable experience. And that is exactly what Ted and his crew delivered for a recent labor-only job for which I had hired them. I hired Ted and his crew to unload a 22-foot rental truck in the Charlotte area. On move day, as I had requested, Ted texted me 30 minutes in advance that he was en route. Ted and his 2 helpers, Vlad and Jeremy, showed up on time and started work as soon as I parked and opened the door of the truck. Ted brought all the required equipment (dollies, carts and a handtruck + straps for the mattress) and even provided a battery-operated fan for me to use while I waited on the back of the truck (to keep an eye on all of the stuff), where temperatures in the summer can exceed 100 degrees. That fan kept me cool throughout the move. Ted and his helpers worked very hard for 4 hours to get all of the items into the elevator and up into the apartment. They honored my requests and never once complained about any aspect of the job, including an additional 150-foot walk across the parking garage no one knew about. Everyone was professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. I am happy to report that all items made it safely into the apartment. Ted, Vlad and Jeremy made sure to unwrap all of the items, place them where requested, and to put all of the boxes in the specific room marked on each box. They also re-assembled a table and removed all of the tape from the moving blankets. It was a stress-free experience from start to finish. If you're in the Charlotte area and looking for professional, affordable movers with a great attitude and work ethic, don't hesitate to call Ted. I had a 5-star experience and have no doubt you will as well. Thanks again to Ted, Vlad and Jeremy for doing a fantastic job. read more

Ted's Moving - Movers Near Me

See all

It was a pleasure working with Ted's Moving. Although communication was only via email for the sake of written documentation, the response time was very quick. The detailed instruction sheet for packing and getting ready for the move was very helpful. Ted and the whole team was very efficient, detail-oriented, friendly and punctual. Really appreciate how they handled the furniture with care, disassembled and assembled the beds. Our move from an apartment to a new house (local distance) was completed smoothly without any damage to the furniture, appliances or the properties (apartment and house). Would definitely contact for more services and would totally recommend to others. Thank you for your service! read more

Ted is honest and straight forward. His work is unmatched by any other mover we have had in our home. The day Ted came it was the one snow day we had. Ted protected the floor, door jams and stairway. Thanks Ted read more

Super service!! I couldn't be more impressed with a company that shows up on time, even a little early, handles my stuff like their own, and are polite! Great value for the service they provide! Highly recommend! read more

Ted and his team just moved me a couple of weeks ago, long distance. I had a seamless move. Ted and his team were very professional and arrived right on schedule (they said they would be there between 8-9 a.m. and arrived at 8 AM). Ted does each of his move's personally! I had quite a lot of stuff to be moved and they worked quickly and efficiently. Prior to the move, I had been emailing with him for a week or two prior to leading up to my move. One thing I did find odd at first was the fact that Ted does not do any interaction via phone call. All communication is done via an email thread. I was a little hesitant to make a deposit at first since I have never encountered something like this before, so I inquired about it. Ted explained that all communication is done via email, so that everything is in writing and there is no chance of "he said/she said". Plus, he indicated, it wouldn't be respectful to customers who he is working with if he constantly was picking up his phone on their time. I completely respected this and understand why he does this. My husband (relocating from a different location), had a terrible experience with his movers. They were late, moved slowly, and were not prepared at all for the move. In the end, there was several instances in which they attempted to fraudulently charge us for the time they took, materials, and other things. The manner in which Ted communicated with me made the whole experience that much easier and to the point, and there was no confusion about pricing, materials, time or date of move. Everything was perfect! All my items were delivered and furniture set up in my new location. Ted's Moving pricing is also very reasonable and affordable. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Ted and his team to anyone moving short or long distance. You will not be disappointed in their service!! read more

I'd like to give Ted's Moving at least six stars. My expectations were definitely exceeded. I've used movers several times and these guys are fantastic. NOTE: They move, they don't pack. Moving Details (recommended by Ted's Moving but not attached) is who I used and they were also great. But back to Ted's. They wrapped everything in plastic instead of the usual taped moving blanket approach. They put protective coverings on all the doors and around door trim and on the floor. They were very very careful to insure nothing hit any surface. But that's only half the story. The unpack was even more better! We walked through the house and identified what each room was called and they put up all the door and trim protective covers as well. Then my job was to be at the end of the ramp and direct traffic as things came off the truck. Then they removed all the plastic and placed/assembled all the furniture including putting screws in my queen bed's bed slats when they'd never been there before. Ted said it needed to be done right! They did use moving blankets to protect things on the truck as they packed. And amazingly, as they unpacked, they made sure that not one of those blankets touched the floor/ground. It was very interesting to watch. And they worked hard. They started at 9:30 am and finished around 7 pm. They took about an hour for lunch and near the end of the unpacking, they took about a 15 min break when an ice cream truck came by and Ted bought his team treats. There was no standing around! My only groan was the amount of plastic that had to be taken to the dump. It really hurt my recycling heart. Price was ado good. Between Ted's Moving and Moving details, we spent about 1/2 of a quote we got from another moving company that did both. The only tricky thing about the two company approach (a packing company and a separate moving company) is coordinating dates. Ideally you'd pack and move on contiguous days. Unfortunately I had to wait a week between pack and move. Just something to consider when you make your plans. read more

I had Ted's Moving come out today (Aug 20, 2016) to assist with a move. I was amazed at how they cared for every piece of furniture and appliance we had. From wrapping the door frame with protective coverings to shrink wrapping everything to prevent damage, they were amazing. Execution was flawless and their help made the move so much easier. Every member of the team was polite, respectful and cared for my belongings as if it were their own. Thanks guys for making the move so smooth. read more

If you're looking for movers in Charlotte and are considering Ted's, look no further. Ted and his crew are fantastic. They were well organized, on time, courteous, and helped assemble all of our furniture that needed to be put back together. They even put a few bikes back in better than original condition. read more

The best service that I ever have! Our family moved from out of state to Charlotte, NC. I just searched Yelp and found Ted's Moving has lots of ​good reviews. So I just wanted to try my luck. So glad that Ted's Moving did not disappoint us. Ted and his staff are very professional and efficient. They had the​ protective pads for my doors and stair handrail. They are not only good at moving stuff​ but also skilled at installation. Ted is very warm-hearted to buy parts to fix the problem while installing the refrigerator drinking duct. So so appreciated! I will certainly recommend Ted's to my friends. Ted's Moving provides high value-added service. It's not just a moving company - it's the best company which provides solution to clients! Thumb up! read more

These guys are top notch. You can tell Ted was in the military. He and his team were highly efficient, communicative and on-time. All beautiful things in the land of moving. read more

Ted and crew moved us into our Charlotte townhouse on 9/15. On time, professional and went above and beyond. Would recommend to friends and use their services again in the future. read more

Found myself in a serious pinch having lost my help AFTER my trailer was loaded. Called Ted's Moving and he and his team fit me in... short notice. They showed up early, staged the house and were waiting for me upon my arrival with the goods! Ted and his team unloaded, moved and positioned the items in my home in minutes. Very reasonable pricing... Thanks guys! ~Ken read more

There's a reason for a perfect five star review rating history for Ted's Moving. From start to finish the process is professional, efficient and reasonably-priced. Ted communicates the proposal clearly and lays out how the move will take place - and then the team delivers. Completely satisfied...you will not regret and will recommend to others. read more

Ted's Moving company was a pleasure to work with. They were prompt, friendly, easy to work with, and did an amazing job. We had three movers and used their moving trailer to move us out of our 2- bedroom apartment which admittedly had a challenging layout. They navigated the move quickly and efficiently and got us moved into our new home easily and at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this group for moving, and fully intend to use them again if the situation arises in the future. read more

On short notice I had to find a mover for multiple large sectional couches and a large kitchen table and chair set . Someone recommended Ted's Moving and he knocked the job out quickly, efficiently and professionally. Ted sized up each room correctly and provided plenty of furniture and doorway and floor padding. Highly recommend everyone contact Ted's Moving. read more

I heard about Ted from my father that has used him many times. Ted and his crew exceeded my exceptions. Preparation they did before and during the move was amazing. The crew was very professional and mindful. Despite there being lots of heavy rain my items were dry and completely undamaged because of there expert wrapping. I was astonished. Will never use any other movers. I highly recommend Teds. Thanks again guys! Was a pleasure. read more

Needed assistance with unloading a pod that had some of my heavier items (many of which needed to be hauled up to the second floor). I read the reviews on Yelp and saw that there were nothing but positive reviews so I contacted Ted's Moving. We set up a time and they were awesome. Very friendly and professional; everything was handled well and they had everything I needed moved moved in about an hour (three-man team). This is my first experience with movers (ever) and it was perfect. Thank you. read more

We did call Ted again when we moved to our permanent home and it was just as smooth and worry free as the last time! Best crew, most respectful handling of our home and belongings. Extremely polite. Would not hesitate to recommend. read more

Outstanding. This past week I had to scramble to find a moving service, and Ted's Moving came through with flying colors--pun intended. Ted is (and many of his employees are) in the Air Force, moving people on nights and weekends. My Truck Buddy was booked and recommended Ted's Moving. Same story with Bookstore Movers, Haul Zing, and Suburban Solutions. Within hours of receiving my email inquiry, Ted himself responded and let me know his one opening (due to a rescheduling of another client): the next evening. Having to shift another appointment, I wasn't able to confirm until 2 PM on the day Ted had indicated he would be available between 5:30 and 6:30 PM. Having heard nightmare stories about other moving companies, I have always stuck to the rule about renting my own truck and hiring labor only (that way, there's no possibility of having your stuff held ransom in somebody else's vehicle, while the cost increases unreasonably). Even on that short notice, Ted made it happen, letting me know that he would arrive at 6:00 PM. He and the other three men in his crew arrived at 6:00 on the dot (sorry, Ted, I mean "1800 hours"). I was stuck in traffic and didn't arrive until 6:20. More on that, later. They all handled the move perfectly, with a positive attitude, dilligent and safe work, no time-wasting, and nothing damaged. At the conclusion of the move, Ted tried to charge me starting at 6:20 PM, regardless of the fact that he and his team had arrived on time, 20 minutes earlier. Needless to say, I insisted on paying him starting at the time we had agreed they would arrive, and I threw in a $50 tip in appreciation for the job well done. Ted even offered to come back the next evening to help re-arrange furniture if I wanted it in a different place. This wasn't necessary, but it was a very considerate offer. Oh, and Ted's price ($100/hour for a 4-man team, timed to the nearest 15 minutes, with a $50 travel/equipment fee) was about half of Great Scott Moving, who also discouraged me from using my own truck. Yeah, thanks anyway. Ted takes a personal check, which is helpful for tax purposes. Highly professional outfit. See for yourself. read more

Ted and his Team are the most professional mover's I've dealt with in my adult life! Having moved across country twice and round trip moves from NC to NY and back I've had plenty of experience. Ted and his Team were prompt, careful of our possessions and reasonably priced. If you need to move don't hesitate to give Ted's Moving a try! read more

I used Ted for a fairly large 2bed/2bath move from Arlington to Ashburn. I took the 5am spot on Saturday and at 4:50am I had three military guys at my house ready to go. I liked that fact that they were all military, all squared away, and every sentence ended with "sir". They were quick, efficient, in shape, and never complained. Ted's communication before and during the move was excellent and he really knows how to move. The other guys described him as "the ultimate Tetras guy" because his packing ability is amazing. He carefully put more stuff in a 26ft truck that I ever thought was possible. The guy is a complete work horse! I was 100% pleased with Ted and the "loading" crew, but there were two mishaps with the "unloading" crew that almost dropped this rating to four stars. One guy walked straight into a wall with a piece of furniture and took a half-dollar size divot out of the wall (plaster and paint required). He just quickly looked at me and said; "my bad". OK, things happen on a move. A short time later, the same guy tilts a dresser back and then tries to slide it forward on the wood floor which left two, 2" gashes on the wood floor. Again, he just looks over at me and says: "my bad". If this was a big moving company I would have had their insurance pay for it, but its a bunch of military guys making some extra money on the weekend. In short, I would use Ted again and I would recommend him to a friend. read more

We were hesitant to hire movers at first because of the cost, but I must say, Ted and his crew are worth EVERY PENNY. Not only are they affordable, but they do excellent work. They think of everything! We were amazed at how efficient they were while also ensuring all of our items were protected. The team is also SO nice!!! We really enjoyed seeing them over the 3 days that we moved all of our belongings. Ted was very responsive and was able to help us with logistics of everything. He was also honest about what they could and could not do, was upfront about all the aspects of pricing so there were no surprises, and he was able to answer all of our questions and address our concerns. We are so appreciative of him and his team and will always use them when we move! I HIGHLY recommend this crew!!! read more

I scheduled my moving with Ted about 4 weeks ago before I moved. Ted and his team are very professional and did an impeccable job! They are respectful, friendly and very efficient. The price is very reasonable, less than all the quotes I received from moving companies nearby. I am so glad I chose Ted's Moving on my move-in day. Thank you so much,Ted! read more

Amazing company, most professional. I am moving again and using Teds for the second time. A very respectful crew that puts up wall protection to keep your home safe. If you want experienced and professional movers, this is the best value and you will be amazingly pleased! read more

We used Ted's moving service twice this year, on both occasions Ted did an amazing job of packing our uhaul trucks. Very professional and even dusted off a couple of my cabinets before packing them. Ted did an incredible job of packing our truck, we had so much stuff it was packed right up to the door and up to the ceiling of the truck. 5 hours drive later, nothing had moved and when it was unpacked - not a single piece of damage to anything. I would recommend Ted to anyone considering using a Moving Company in the Waxhaw area. read more

Ted's Moving services went above and beyond my expectations!! Ted (owner) and his colleague arrived on time and quickly went to work. Front door and all inside doors protected to prevent any damage. Entire truck was cleared out and furniture placed in approx 1.5 hours! Ted even hooked up our washer/dryer and refrigerator! So thankful we chose Ted's and would recommend to anyone moving!! read more

Just used Ted's Moving to relocate my mother locally (Fort Mill to Fort Lawn). Ted and his team were very professional, personable and extremely client focused. Ted gave great guidance before the move for options and move preparation. Because of this we were able to make a choice to save my Mom some money. Ted is a great leader of the team, and the entire team was very collaborative in the way they worked. There was Ted and 3 additional movers. They took extreme care with all items. Not one issue with anything. Using Ted's Moving is a high value option. I will select them again for any moving I need. read more

Two Words- Totally Awesome! This was the best experience with movers we've ever had. We actually moved a few months ago, but the company we used (we were not aware of Ted's moving company at that time)was not experienced with bulky/awkward items and were not comfortable moving an antique item and a treadmill to a second floor. We researched some of the well known movers in the area to complete the job and decided on Ted's company based on the reviews we read. We were completely satisfied. Ted and his team are professionals. They know what they are doing and how to move bulky heavy pieces and large/awkward delicate antiques. They wrapped our entire banister to ensure nothing was scratched. They used blankets for our floor. They were careful and efficient. I highly recommend them for any of your moving needs. read more

I contracted with Ted's Moving on the recommendation of a friend. They were prompt, courteous and professional. The care they took to wrap and protect all the furnishings was excellent. The movers themselves were friendly, clean and helpful. And they actually return e-mails. read more

Ted's Moving is awesome. We have used them twice and I would highly recommend their services. They are extremely professional. Their prices are reasonable as well. Give them a call for your moving needs. You will be quite pleased! read more

No need to look anywhere else for a great moving company...Ted's Moving was AMAZING and made my move smooth and easy! I booked them online about a week before my move and within a few hours of making my reservation they called to confirm all the details. The day of the move they showed up on time, prepared and you could tell they were professionals with experience. They came with blankets, items to protect the door, rubber bands and other moving equipment to transport everything safely and efficiently. They came up to my apartment assessed the area and went at it. Within 75 minutes they had moved everything out and strategically loaded the moving truck. We then made the short commute over to the storage facility where they proceeded to unload the truck and strategically fill the storage unit. In total the move took a whopping 2 hours and 30 minutes and I didn't have to lift do a thing. I was beyond impressed with the service quality of Ted's Movers and would recommend them to anyone doing any type of move. Thank you Ted and team for making my move stress free. It was a pleasure working with you all and I will undoubtedly reach out to you all for my next move. read more
