Since our inception in 1898, our number one goal at Wherley Moving Systems has been to provide you with First Class Moving Services. We employ a staff of over 100 moving professionals who have regularly earned awards for performance that exceeded industry standards. A proactive safety and performance program continually monitors the quality of each team member, providing instant training as well as recognition. This program has been an integral part of Wherley’s success and will continue to pave the way to even greater customer retention and satisfaction.
Household Moving
We are an authorized agent for United Van Lines, America’s #1 Family Mover.® When our truck pulls up to your door, you can expect professional employees who take pride in their work. We can assist you in your move from packing your belongings, to carefully loading our vans, and setting up your furniture in your new home. You will find that Wherley’s attention to detail and commitment to quality allows us to offer household moving services that are unsurpassed in the moving industry.
International Moving
Relocating overseas requires extensive preparation. With our more than 80 years of international experience, plus a single point of contact, we ensure that you will enjoy a smooth transition to anywhere in the world.
Stateside, your household goods are packed and loaded by the same loyal crew into heavy-duty air/sea containers. Your furniture and appliances are further protected by Wherley’s proprietary export wrap, specially designed for international moving.
Your move is arranged for transit by rail, air or sea (sometimes a combination of more than one) using our expertise in customs clearance and international moving practices. Wherley’s membership in both national and international moving associations provides you with reputable, qualified agents worldwide.
Commercial
Our national accounts and local commercial customers know that our personal attention and experienced staff make the difference for them. With our experienced local crews, personal coordination and the full support of United Van Lines, you can rely on an easy move.
We understand that office moves need to be performed at a time that is most convenient for your business. For this reason, we offer evening and weekend office moving services designed to keep from disrupting your employees during crucial business hours. Our moving counselor will work with you to determine where each piece of office equipment should be placed in your new location. This will enable us to perform your move in the most efficient and accurate manner.
Storage
Temporary or long-term storage of home or office furniture and equipment is safe and secure in any of Wherley’s area humidity controlled warehouses. Household and office furnishings are carefully inventoried and packed into palletized storage vaults on your premises. The vaults are sealed and then transported in air-ride trailers to our warehouses where they are stacked by lift truck.
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
