If you want to experience an East Coast life and not pay a fortune each month to do so, Philly is an excellent choice – and you’ll love it for plenty more than just affordability. Still, you are going to need the best Philadelphia movers to help you relocate to the biggest city of Pennsylvania. Look no further – once you witness how splendid our services are, you won’t even think about hiring someone else.
What we at East Coast West Coast Movers value the most is quality. Our team is formed from the highly-trained and experienced individuals that will be with you every step of the way. From customer support workers to the crew that does all the heavy lifting, each person is there to provide you with stress-free relocation. With us, your needs will always come first!
Whether you’re moving the whole household or just some of your stuff, a house or an office, finding better long-distance moving services in Philadelphia than ours is impossible. And that’s not just because our team will go out of their way so that everything goes smoothly. Our pricing system has an important role in creating the best relocation experience for our customers. Remember that we form our cost mainly on your inventory list.
Not only that our offer is reasonably affordable, but, with us, you shouldn’t fear any hidden expenses. Moreover, different from other moving companies in Philadelphia (and further,) we provide our customers with a free quote that is absolutely guaranteed. With other West or East Coast movers, you won’t know the exact cost until your relocation day. With us, all you have to do is provide the list of household items, and we will give you a quote that won’t change. That is, if or until the new changes on the list are made (which can be done until the day before the move).
First and foremost, keep in mind that dealing with all of your larger objects that don’t need hoisting or custom crating is part of our standard offer. That means that we are responsible for objects such as furniture, appliances, mattresses, and the like. Hypothetically, if you have to relocate a dresser, sofa, or table, we will bring all the necessary supplies, disassemble the furniture and load it into the truck (alongside boxes and everything else). Of course, when the unpacking comes, we will be there to unload and disassemble it. On the other hand, boxing up smaller pieces is considered a service of its own.
Our additional packing services imply packing belongings that can fit into a box, such as books, clothes, dishes, or electronics. Our professional packers are ready to take on anything you put in front of them, no matter how delicate the object may be. If you don’t have enough time or even knowledge to pack your household belongings, consider getting our assistance. Our professional cross-country movers know all the possible boxing up tricks to keep your belongings safe – after all, they do it every day.
We can offer both partial and full packing service, depending on your needs and the number of belongings you want us to deal with. If we end up packing less than fifteen boxes, it’s still considered a partial service. However, everything above them we count as a full one. As an additional benefit, you can be without worries when it comes to all of the supplies. We already said that our team would bring supplies to cover and protect furniture and appliances. However, if you choose this additional service, you can also keep boxes out of your mind.
If you decide that driving between states is too dull or tiring (as it is,) know that our professional auto transport will be waiting for you. Our drivers will load, ship, and unload your car with the utmost care, bringing it to your new place in the same condition it had left the old one.
Furthermore, our transparency policy extends to our auto transport. Make sure to contact us and provide us with details about the locations, model, make, and year of your vehicle and car shipping services you’re planning to use. After we gather all the necessary information, we will provide you with a free car shipping quote.
Because clients are our top priority, we try to provide them with multiple options that fit their wishes, needs, and possibilities. Our car shipping is no different. Consider the following options and choose the one that is the right for your situation:
Yes, you read it right. Thirty days of storage free of charge is part of our standard offer. Keep in mind that highly trained guards and the latest technology help us monitor each storage unit 24/7. Furthermore, thanks to the barcode system we developed, there is no chance of boxes getting mixed up or lost. As you can see, with our moving and storage in Philadelphia, you can do no wrong.
Our facilities provide a temperature-controlled environment. Have no doubt that your wooden and leather furniture, electronics, and other temperature-sensitive belongings will remain safe. Of course, if you need our storage services for an extended period, our units will be available after the first month for an agreed price.
As a sincere and trustworthy company, we won’t lie to you and say that accidents never happen. They do, but rarely. If you want additional protection in (unlikely) case something goes wrong, our long-distance moving company can present you with two moving insurance options – Mandatory Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection.
Mandatory Liability Coverage is a part of our standard offer and, thus, we don’t charge it. Each of your items will be covered with 60 cents per pound of damaged goods in the case of an accident. On the other hand, Full Value Protection guarantees that you’ll be compensated for the damaged item – it will be replaced, repaired, or you’ll get financial reimbursement. It, however, is considered an additional service and can be applied only on the items our professional packers have packed.
East Coast West Coast Express ships all kinds of vehicles, regardless of their shape, size, price, or weight. From scooters to trucks, if you need it shipped, we can do it.

Read MoreNow the sixth populous city in the States, Philly was founded back in 1682. Philly’s historical significance made it the first World Heritage City in the United States. Did you know that the Declaration of Independence was signed here? This city has had a crucial role in the American Revolution, earning the nickname of America’s birthplace. Many national historical sites (Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and 65 more) come with the territory, and you get to meet them all after your long-distance move.
History, however, is not all that Philly has to offer. By moving here, you’ll witness the significance of science and culture in this city. It’s a home for the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school, but many other renowned colleges and universities make this city a true educational hub of the country.
Philly’s science and art museums are globally recognized establishments, too, but remember that Philadelphians value all art forms. That is why you’ll get to enjoy plenty of outdoor art in the form of sculpture and murals – Philly has it more than any other US city. And that is not all! You’ll never be bored here with numerous festivals, theaters, and live music events.
And, of course, if you don’t happen to be a sports enthusiast, keep in mind that Philly is a big name in major leagues, having won titles in MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL. However, just remember Philadelphians take sports very seriously.
Many of us are familiar with the fact that life on both coasts is not cheap. After all, our coastal areas are where some of the most expensive cities are located. But be prepared for a pleasant surprise! Compared to major cities such as NYC, Boston, Washington DC, or Chicago, Philly has a much more affordable cost of living.
According to Best Places, Philadelphia’s cost of living is only slightly above the national average. Realtor.com states the median listing home price to be $260,000, while the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment to be around $1,500, according to Numbeo.
What about the job market? Many Fortune 500 companies are located in the Philly area, and there are plenty of job opportunities in higher education, health care, finances, telecommunications, tourism, and the like. However, keep in mind that NYC is less than 100 miles away! If you don’t mind commuting just a little bit longer, you can enjoy everything the Big Apple offers without going broke in the meantime.
It’s almost impossible to choose between so many distinct neighborhoods. From the upscale and posh, over scenic and artsy, to suburbian-like, Philadelphia, PA, is home to various districts (152, in total). Choosing the one that suits your needs and wishes is an almost impossible task. It was a hard decision for us too, but here are our top picks:
