Before you request an estimate
Planning a Cary move? Start with access and inventory
For a Cary moving estimate, share what is moving, your dates and the access at both homes. Bedroom count is a starting point; a room-by-room inventory and the path to the truck make the scope much clearer.
- For a townhome, count stair flights and note turns, landings and bulky furniture that may need disassembly.
- For an apartment, ask management about elevator reservations, move hours, loading areas and insurance paperwork.
- Measure uncertain doorways and list items staying behind. Identify fragile or unusually heavy pieces before the walkthrough.
Questions to settle in writing
Ask which packing, furniture assembly, travel time, minimum hours and access charges are included in your written estimate. Confirm availability before reserving your building's move window.
Consumer reference: NC Utilities Commission household-goods tariff, effective January 1, 2026. These explain general rules; your written estimate defines the proposed services and terms.

NC household movesCheck the mileage and rate basis
For household-goods moves wholly within North Carolina, the NCUC tariff effective January 1, 2026 generally uses hourly rates at 50 ratemaking miles or less and weight-and-distance rates above 50. Ask which basis, minimums, travel and access charges apply to your move.
Interstate movesCompare the written estimate terms
An interstate estimate depends on the shipment, route, services and applicable carrier tariff. Ask whether it is binding or non-binding, how charges are calculated, who transports the shipment and what changes need written approval. Confirm pickup and delivery terms before booking.
Know what the estimate covers. Read the inventory, included services, valuation and change terms. Consumer references: NCUC tariff and FMCSA moving rights.
Who we move
Real local move types we plan for
Every move still gets a real estimate. These are common local situations where access, timing, and prep matter.
Apartment and condo moves
Elevators, walk-ups, parking rules, loading docks, and tight hallways are normal parts of local moving in the Triangle. Tell us the building details and we plan the carry before move day.
Senior and downsizing moves
When a move needs extra patience, we slow down, protect the home, and keep the plan clear for the family. Useful for smaller homes, retirement communities, and careful room-by-room downsizing.
Student moves
Good fit for campus-area apartments, short timelines, and smaller loads where timing matters. Share the building, floor, and access rules so the crew can move quickly and carefully.
What affects your price
No fake prices - here's what shapes the quote
Inventory, route, access and services affect the estimate. Ask which rate basis and charges apply to your move.
Home size
A one-bedroom apartment and a four-bedroom house need different crews and trucks. Size is the biggest driver of a local move.
How much you're moving
More boxes and furniture means more time. Decluttering before move day is the easiest way to save.
Stairs & access
Walk-ups, elevators, and long carries from the door to the truck add time. We plan for it ahead of move day.
Day & timing
Weekends and the end of the month book up first. A weekday or mid-month slot often has more availability.
Specialty items
Pianos, gun safes, large appliances, and fragile pieces need extra hands and care.
Packing help
Want us to pack the kitchen and fragiles, or everything? Add packing and we'll bring the materials.
We don't calculate live pricing online - share your details and a real written estimate follows from our team.

Verify who will carry out your move
A broker arranges transportation; a carrier transports the shipment. Ask which company is named in your estimate and paperwork, who loads and delivers, and whether any third party or transfer is involved. Check the records for the actual company before booking.
- For an NC household-goods move, check the NCUC authorized carrier list, including its revision date.
- For an interstate move, use FMCSA Protect Your Move to check current carrier and broker records. Royalty's published identifiers are USDOT 3289527 and MC 1108791; an identifier alone does not establish current authority or insurance.
- Confirm the written inventory, estimate type, valuation, delivery terms and process for changes. Ask about crew continuity for your specific job rather than assuming it.

My move was excellent. The crew was very efficient, friendly and professional. They were on time and got right to work. Lenore accommodated my rescheduling of the move date three times. Lenore and Randy were great - they came personally and fixed an issue I had with my bed. If I could give 10 stars I would. I'd recommend this company to everyone. This company is awesome!

Verified on MoveAdvisorGood questions
Cary moving, answered
Owner Alex walks through packing, what travels on the truck, and the questions movers get asked most.
List the furniture and boxes by floor, stair flights, narrow landings, parking and any furniture that may need disassembly. Include the same access details for the destination so the estimate covers both ends.
Ask management about permitted move hours, elevator reservations, loading areas, insurance paperwork and who must arrange them. Send those requirements with your inventory before confirming a move date.
Request it when your dates and locations are reasonably clear. Confirm Royalty's actual availability and your building's access window before relying on a date; no booking lead time guarantees availability.
Check current operating credentials, who will carry out the move, the written inventory and estimate, included services, valuation and change terms. For a move within NC, use the NCUC household-goods guidance; interstate moves require separate federal checks.
