Common Customer Queries

FAQs - Military and Government Moving Services

Military and government relocations often raise unique questions. Below, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common queries about our military moving services, so you can better understand how Nilson Van and Storage supports those who serve.

  • What is military and government moving?

    Military and Government Moving refers to specialized relocation services performed under structured coordination with federal agencies and Transportation Service Providers. These moves often involve strict scheduling, regulated documentation, and secure handling standards. Nilson Van and Storage supports DoD-coordinated relocations and government transitions throughout South Carolina and Georgia, providing organized logistics and compliant transport solutions designed to meet official relocation requirements.

  • How does military family relocation work during a PCS move?

    Military Family Relocation during a PCS move typically follows official assignment orders and coordinated scheduling through approved Transportation Service Providers. The process includes packing, loading, transportation, delivery, and in some cases Non Temporary Storage. Nilson Van and Storage provides structured logistics and experienced crews to ensure household goods are handled carefully and delivered according to assignment timelines across the Southeastern United States.

  • What is Non Temporary Storage (NTS)?

    Non Temporary Storage, commonly called NTS, is long-term storage authorized for military members or government personnel when household goods cannot be delivered immediately. Items are inventoried, stored in secure facilities, and maintained until release is authorized. Nilson Van and Storage provides organized Non Temporary Storage solutions that support extended assignments and deployment transitions while maintaining careful oversight of stored property.

  • Do government moving services handle office relocations?

    Yes, Government Moving Services frequently include complete office relocations for federal, state, and municipal agencies. This may involve transporting office furniture, files, equipment, and electronics with structured coordination to reduce operational disruption. Nilson Van and Storage performs Government Office Relocation projects using detailed planning and professional crews to maintain organized transitions and minimize downtime.

  • Who hires military moving companies?

    Military moving services are typically contracted through Transportation Service Providers that work with the Department of Defense. Government agencies may also directly coordinate relocation services for administrative transitions. Nilson Van and Storage works within these contracted networks, supporting official assignments and agency relocations throughout South Carolina, Georgia, and surrounding Southeastern regions.

  • How far in advance should military or government moves be scheduled?

    Military and government moves are usually scheduled based on official orders and agency timelines. Advance notice allows for organized packing schedules, equipment preparation, and transportation coordination. Nilson Van and Storage works closely with TSPs and agencies to ensure timely coordination, helping prevent delays during peak relocation seasons or high-volume transfer periods.

  • Are military moving services different from residential moving services?

    Yes, military moving services follow additional documentation procedures, inventory tracking standards, and compliance guidelines compared to standard residential relocations. Coordination often involves third-party oversight and regulated processes. Nilson Van and Storage provides compliant handling and structured relocation support tailored specifically to military and government moving requirements.

  • What areas do your military and government moving services cover?

    Nilson Van and Storage provides Military and Government Moving services across South Carolina and Georgia, including Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Sumter, and Savannah, while supporting broader Southeastern operations.

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
We appreciate you sharing your positive experience, Lauren. We value your opinion and we're thrilled to know your move went smoothly. A sincere thank you for your service, and wishing you all the best in your new surroundings!

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.

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!
