Wilmington is North Carolina's largest coastal city and the cultural and economic anchor of the Cape Fear region, sitting along the Cape Fear River about two hours southeast of our Durham warehouse. Known for its historic downtown, the riverwalk, the nearby beaches at Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach, and a steady mix of healthcare, education, tourism, port logistics, and film industry activity, Wilmington has become one of the most active relocation markets in the state. DeHaven's Transfer & Storage has been serving North Carolina for over 60 years, and as a North American Van Lines agent, we handle moves to and from Wilmington and the surrounding coastal area, long-distance relocations to anywhere in the country, and international moves worldwide.

Local Movers - Wilmington, NC
While DeHaven's is based in Durham, we move customers in and out of the Wilmington area regularly. Our crews are familiar with the practical realities of moving here, including the historic homes in the downtown Historic District with their narrower stairs, doorways, and tight street access, the parking and access constraints in the riverwalk and downtown areas, the gated communities and HOA rules common in master-planned developments, the timing pressures of coastal weather and hurricane season, and the logistics of moves involving the bridges, beach access points, and barrier island communities that define the Cape Fear region. Whether you're moving within Wilmington, into the area from elsewhere, or out of the region entirely, we approach every move with the same attention to detail.
Long Distance Movers - Wilmington, NC
As a North American Van Lines agent, long-distance moves are one of our specialties, and Wilmington is one of our most active long-distance markets. Many of our Wilmington long-distance moves involve retirees relocating to the coast for the lifestyle and climate, families moving in from the Northeast, Midwest, and other parts of the country for jobs in healthcare, education, and the broader regional economy, or families relocating out of state for work or retirement. Whether you're moving for retirement, a job, family reasons, or a change of pace, our agency network gives us coverage in all 50 states. Your belongings travel on NAVL trucks driven by NAVL-certified drivers, so there are no broker handoffs and no transfers between unrelated companies.
