Residential Moves
Moving companies put residential moves into some broader categories
Local moves – Generally, moves that are 50 miles or less, within a state, are considered local moves. But that depends on the state. Felice will know your state’s rules and regulations related to moving. You can also check with your state’s Department of Transportation.
INTRAstate moves – Generally, intrastate moves are those greater than 50 miles but within the same state. Again, that rule depends entirely on state law. Felice will know your state’s rules and regulations related to moving. You can also check with your state’s Department of Transportation.
INTERstate moves – Generally, interstate moves are those that cross state lines (e.g. New York to California or New York to Ohio).
Where does the van line come in?
Wheaton, and other van lines, has special authority to move household goods across state lines. Many local agents do not have the authority to perform interstate moves on their own, without the help of an interstate van line like Wheaton World Wide Moving. Wheaton extends that authority to local agents, like Felice Moving & Storage in Rome, so they can move your belongings from a home in one state to a home in another. You can think of Wheaton as a network of moving agents all working to ensure your household goods gets from your origin to your destination.
Wheaton’s moving services begin with your local agent well before the truck arrives and lasts long after your final box is unpacked. The cornerstone of your moving experience, Felice Moving & Storage coordinates your move in conjunction with Wheaton corporate headquarters and is a resource available to you throughout the entire process.
Moving can seem a little daunting at first glimpse, but Wheaton’s years of experience and knowledge of the moving industry will make for a smooth transition

Everyone involved in the move will have a resource to ask questions, express concerns or simply seek some peace-of-mind.
If you are moving to a different state, the charges will be based on the weight of your
shipment and mileage—these are referred to as the transportation charges.
There are a variety of different moving charges that can potentially appear on your estimate,
so be sure to ask your relocation specialist to explain each charge for you.
Some additional charges that may appear include packing, crating, valuation or coverage,
bulky article charge (for oversized items), and extra labor. Again, please be certain you
fully understand these charges so that you can accurately compare the estimates you receive.
All movers are required to prepare an order for service before they transport your shipment.
The order for service provides you with written confirmation of the moving services that you
requested to be performed in conjunction with your shipment. It also lists the agreed upon
dates for the pickup and delivery of your shipment and amount of valuation that you requested,
along with any special services that you ordered.
It also features a place and telephone number where the mover can contact you during the move.
Additionally, the order for service shows the charges that you will be assessed for your
household move or corporate relocation. If you are moving under a non-binding estimate,
the order for service will indicate the amount of the estimated non-binding charges,
the method of payment for the charges and, in cases where the actual charges exceed the
non-binding estimate, the maximum amount that you are required to pay at the time of delivery
in order to obtain possession of your shipment (you will have 30 days following delivery to
pay the balance of the charges due). If you are moving under a binding estimate,
the order for service will show the charges that you will be required to pay at delivery,
based on the binding estimate and the terms of payment. You and your mover must sign the
order for service.
