Delaware County Small Long Distance Movers
Specializing in small long distance moves from Delaware County since 2007. From a single piece of furniture up to a small studio – we handle what big van lines will not. Pickup from Media, Havertown, Drexel Hill, Springfield, Newtown Square, Swarthmore.
Delaware County is twin homes, tight lots, and tree-lined boroughs. LiteMovers has packed and shipped from Havertown rowhomes along Brookline Boulevard, Drexel Hill twins on Garrett Road, Media borough’s State Street, Newtown Square corporate parks, and Swarthmore College faculty homes since 2007. We are a family-owned Pennsylvania moving company headquartered at 307 East Church Rd in King of Prussia. We hold PA PUC Certificate A-8916211, USDOT 2173383, and MC-888055.
Most national van lines have a minimum weight or piece count that makes small long distance moves expensive or impossible. A single antique dresser to North Carolina, a few boxes and a sofa to Florida, a studio’s worth of belongings to Boston – these jobs slip through the cracks of the big carriers. We built this service for them.
How We Handle Small Long Distance Moves
A Newtown Square corporate relocation on a hard start date needs a different plan than a single piece of furniture going to Boston. We offer both options.
LiteMovers Direct
Best for full households or urgent timing. Our crew loads at your Delaware County home and drives straight to destination in our own truck. One team, one truck, door to door. Ideal when you need a fixed delivery date.
- Same crew at pickup and delivery
- Direct over-the-road transport
- Tight delivery windows possible
- Best for full-home moves
Consolidated via Plycon
Best for smaller shipments or flexible timing. Sized for anything from a single piece of furniture up to a small studio’s worth of belongings. LiteMovers picks up at your home, stages at our King of Prussia warehouse, and our long-haul partner Plycon Van Lines runs the over-the-road leg. Most shipments deliver within a 20-day turnaround window.
- From one piece of furniture up to a small studio
- Cost-effective for smaller loads
- 20-day turnaround window
- Plycon white-glove handling
How Each Option Works
Direct Move: A LiteMovers crew arrives at your Delaware County home, packs and loads our truck, and drives directly to your destination. The same crew unloads at delivery. This is the fastest option and gives you a fixed delivery date.
Consolidated Shipment: A LiteMovers crew picks up at your home and shuttles to our King of Prussia warehouse at 307 East Church Rd. Plycon Van Lines, our long-haul partner, picks up the consolidated shipment for over-the-road transport. Most shipments deliver within a 20-day turnaround window.
How to Get Your Long Distance Estimate
For Direct LiteMovers Moves: Direct moves work best for full households or any move with urgent timing. Call us at (610) 755-5535 or 1-877-798-8989 to schedule an in-home walkthrough. Our crew chief reviews the inventory in person, measures access, and writes the estimate on site.
For Plycon Consolidated Shipments
Consolidated shipments are sized for anything from a single piece of furniture up to a small studio’s worth of belongings. Because Plycon prices by cubic feet, weight, and distance, we need a clear picture of your shipment up front to write an estimate that holds. Email everything below to moves@litemovers.com and we will follow up the same business day.
- Pickup address in Delaware County
- Delivery address at destination
- Your phone number for follow-up questions
- Ideal timing – your target pickup date and any move-out or move-in deadlines
- Dimensions of every item being moved measured as length x width x height (furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, outdoor pieces, anything large or unusual)
- Photographs of every room plus close-ups of artwork, glass tops, chandeliers, antiques, pianos, sculptures, mirrors, and oversized furniture
Send everything to moves@litemovers.com. Long distance moves are governed by federal FMCSA regulations under our USDOT 2173383 and MC-888055 authority.

Local Challenges Unique to Delaware County
Twin homes are the defining feature of Delaware County moves. Brookline, Llanerch, Manoa, and Drexel Hill twins share walls and often share narrow front walks. We size trucks accordingly and sometimes stage at the curb. Media borough’s State Street is one of the tightest commercial corridors we work, with restricted parking and limited stage time. Newtown Square corporate moves along West Chester Pike often involve loading dock schedules at office parks. Swarthmore brings academic timing – we coordinate around faculty sabbatical schedules and commencement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer direct long distance moves or only consolidated shipments?
Both. LiteMovers handles direct over-the-road moves with our own crews and trucks for full-household and time-sensitive Delaware County moves. We also offer consolidated shipments through our long-haul partner Plycon Van Lines for smaller loads ranging from a single piece of furniture up to about a small studio’s worth of belongings. The right option depends on the size of your shipment and how flexible your delivery window is. Email pickup address, delivery address, dates, dimensions, and photos to moves@litemovers.com and we will recommend the best fit and provide a written estimate.
What information do you need for a long distance estimate?
For direct LiteMovers moves, call us at (610) 755-5535 to schedule an in-home walkthrough – we measure and inventory in person. For Plycon consolidated shipments, which range from one piece of furniture up to about a small studio’s worth of belongings, email everything to moves@litemovers.com. We need your pickup address in Delaware County, your delivery address at destination, your phone number, and your ideal timing including target pickup date and any move-out or move-in deadlines. We also need dimensions of every item being moved measured as length by width by height. This includes furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, outdoor pieces, and any oversized item. Finally, send photographs of every room plus close-ups of anything fragile, valuable, or unusual. Artwork, glass tops, chandeliers, antiques, pianos, and mirrors should each have a photo.
Can you handle twin home moves with shared walls?
Yes. Brookline, Llanerch, Manoa, and Drexel Hill twins are part of our weekly routine. Twin homes share walls, share front steps, and often have narrow walks to the curb. We protect shared walls with corner guards, lay floor runners on shared steps, and size our trucks for the access. The local pickup runs the same way as a single-family home move. Twin home moves can run as direct over-the-road moves or as consolidated shipments depending on the load size and delivery timing.
How do you handle Media borough’s tight streets?
Media borough has restricted parking, narrow one-way streets, and limited stage time on State Street. LiteMovers crews scout the access during the in-home estimate or from the photographs you email us. We coordinate parking with Media Borough as needed, size the truck appropriately, and plan the load order to minimize curb time. For smaller Media shipments we typically run a consolidated move – we shuttle to King of Prussia and Plycon takes the load from our warehouse for the line haul.
How is my long distance estimate regulated?
Long distance moves crossing state lines are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, not the Pennsylvania PUC. LiteMovers operates under USDOT 2173383 and MC-888055. We provide written non-binding estimates built from a detailed inventory of items, weight, cubic feet, and distance. Federal rules require licensed interstate carriers to honor the 110% rule on non-binding estimates: your final charges at delivery should not exceed 110% of the written estimate without your written authorization. We discuss any condition that could change the estimate before pickup. There are no surprise charges, no promotional gimmicks, and no hidden fees.
Ready to Plan Your Delaware County Long Distance Move?
Big van lines often pass on small long distance moves. We do not. From a single piece of furniture to a small studio, email pickup address, delivery address, phone, timing, dimensions, and photos to moves@litemovers.com. For full-household direct moves, call (610) 755-5535.
