Nilson Van and Storage did a wonderful job helping us move from their customer service to the move itself. Karen did a wonderful job through out the consultation and ensuring all our questions were answered in regards to packing. Theresa made sure to follow up all throughout the process, making sure everything was taken care of prior to the crew arriving to even after, which was very much needed in the chaos of moving! And of course Stanley and his crew were amazing! Even after being stuck in traffic with delays they did not waste a single minute getting all of our items on the truck for transit. All of our items arrived in great shape, and the guys made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it! I am so glad we went with their company, it made our move hastle free!

We were assigned Nilson for our military international move a few months ago. They moved our household goods and our unaccompanied baggage and did an amazing job. They were very friendly, packed everything with care, and were very thorough with their labeling of the boxes. Our whole house was packed and ready to go within two days! I want to call out Ty specifically, he made the process so much easier than it could have been and was great about answering all of my questions!
Response from the owner 20:05 21 Aug 24

Half our experience was fine but when they packed our kitchen up we told them to not pack two cupboards and they did. One those cupboards had our dog's prescription food so we had to go through boxes to find.

We value your insights and appreciate your feedback. We want every customer to have a positive moving experience and our team is reviewing your concerns to make moving better for every customer we serve.

Wow! This was my Wife’s and I first big move using a moving company, and Angie, Ty, and Kayla exceeded every expectation we had. Ty talked me through every part of the move, showed me the truck, and told me exactly how the unpackers should handle our stuff. Kayla took me through all the paperwork and ensured every single item we had was accounted for and tagged with a corresponding number so we can track it all once we get to our unpacking portion. Angie worked incredibly fast and took extra care of every plate and cup in the kitchen to ensure every item was individually wrapped and secured before packing it. All three of these incredible movers never made assumptions about items and asked along the way if we wanted certain things packed… thanks again Ty, Angie, and Kayla- y’all were amazing!
Customer Queries

FAQs - Moving Services

At Nilson Van and Storage, we understand that moving can feel overwhelming, and you might have many questions about the process. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of frequently asked questions to address your concerns and provide clear, helpful answers. Whether you’re moving within Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Sumter, Savannah, Hilton Head, Beaufort or beyond, these FAQs will guide you through every step of your relocation journey with confidence.

  • How much do moving services cost in South Carolina?

    The cost of moving services in South Carolina depends on several factors, including the size of your home, distance traveled, packing requirements, and building access conditions. For local and intrastate moves within South Carolina, pricing is non-binding, meaning the final cost reflects the actual weight and services provided. Office relocations may instead be quoted as a bid. Nilson Van and Storage provides clear, upfront estimates and does not charge cancellation fees, giving customers in Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and Sumter flexibility and confidence when planning their move.

  • What is included in full-service moving services?

    Full-service moving services typically include professional packing, loading, transportation, unloading, and unpacking of cartons packed by the moving team. Nilson Van and Storage will unpack items they pack on the day of delivery. For local moves, unpacking includes removing items from cartons, though placing them into cupboards or closets can be arranged for an additional hourly charge. These moving services are designed to simplify residential and commercial relocations while ensuring efficiency and careful handling throughout the process.

  • How far in advance should I schedule moving services?

    Most customers should schedule moving services at least four to six weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons like summer or at the beginning and end of the month. Popular cities such as Charleston and Myrtle Beach often experience higher demand during these times. Weekend local moves may be charged at an overtime rate, so early booking helps secure preferred dates and manage costs effectively. Nilson Van and Storage works closely with customers across Columbia, Sumter, and Savannah to coordinate schedules that meet their relocation timelines.

  • Are professional moving services worth the cost?

    Professional moving services can save time, reduce physical strain, and minimize the risk of damage compared to handling a move independently. Trained crews use proper equipment and proven packing techniques to protect furniture and household goods. Nilson Van and Storage offers experienced teams, valuation coverage options, and coordinated logistics to ensure a smooth relocation. For many families and businesses across South Carolina and Georgia, investing in professional moving services provides peace of mind and long-term value.

  • Do moving services provide packing materials?

    Yes, most professional moving services provide high-quality packing materials, including cartons, protective padding, and wrapping paper. Nilson Van and Storage uses industry-standard materials to safeguard items during transport. Customers may choose full packing, partial packing, or self-packing options depending on their needs and budget. Including packing within your moving services not only improves protection but also speeds up loading and unloading on moving day.

  • What areas do your moving services cover?

    Nilson Van and Storage provides moving services throughout Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Sumter, and Savannah. In addition to local relocations, the company handles long-distance, interstate, and international moves connecting the Southeastern United States to destinations nationwide and overseas. Whether moving within South Carolina or planning a cross-country relocation, customers benefit from experienced crews and organized transportation solutions tailored to their specific requirements.

  • Do I need to reserve elevators and parking for moving day?

    Yes, customers are responsible for reserving elevators and securing parking access before moving day. In areas such as downtown Charleston, residents may need to contact the city’s Department of Transportation to arrange temporary parking for moving trucks. Proper access planning ensures that moving services proceed efficiently without delays. Nilson Van and Storage provides guidance in advance so customers understand building requirements and can avoid last-minute complications.

  • Do moving companies charge cancellation fees?

    Some companies charge penalties if a move is canceled or rescheduled. However, Nilson Van and Storage does not charge cancellation fees, offering customers flexibility if plans change. This customer-focused policy is especially valuable when coordinating real estate closings or unexpected timeline shifts. Choosing moving services with transparent policies allows homeowners and businesses in Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Sumter, and Savannah to move forward with confidence.
