My movers Will & Drew were absolutely phenomenal! They showed up early and worked diligently while engaging us in conversation. They completed loading my moving truck and helped with getting several items to the garbage bin all within 2 hrs. They were very respectful and humble. I highly recommend them both! Kindly, C. L.

The guys at Cape Fear Provisioners were AMAZING! Rob was a great crew lead and ensured everything ran smoothly. They were efficient and professional and, as a female who was managing my family's move alone, they made me feel very comfortable. They even helped me assemble a table that was disassembled when being packed. I would recommend this company to anyone moving in the Wilmington, NC area!
