Universal Moving Services has been packing, loading, and hauling for Philadelphia families and businesses since 2015. We’re not a booking site or a lead desk that hands your job off to a stranger — our own crew shows up in our own trucks, on the day we promised, and we stay with your move from the first box to the last piece of furniture set down in its new spot.
Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment three blocks away or relocating a household out of state, we quote the job up front and stick to it. Our teams train on stairwells, rowhome layouts, and the tight parking that comes standard in most Philly neighborhoods, so nothing about a local job catches us off guard. For moves that cross state lines, we plan routes, timing, and crew size around your schedule, not ours.
Below is a quick look at what we handle. Every service can be booked on its own or combined into one moving day.
| Service | Best for |
|---|---|
| Local Moving | Moves within Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs |
| Long-Distance Moving | Out-of-state relocations with fixed pickup and delivery windows |
| Residential Moving | Houses and rowhomes, single-family to multi-story |
| Apartment & Rowhome Moving | Walk-ups, narrow staircases, tight street parking |
| Full-Service Packing | Households who want the whole move handled start to finish |
| Piano Moving | Uprights, baby grands, and specialty instruments |
| Safe Moving | Gun safes, home safes, and other heavy secured items |
| Short-Term Storage | Bridging the gap between move-out and move-in dates |

Super great experience! We had a crew of 4 movers help with a large move and they were fantastic. They worked efficiently, quickly, and carefully. We would definitely use them again!
