Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Greenville.
Hurricane season
From June 1 through November 30, a storm along the Atlantic coast can push pickups and deliveries back. Keep your dates a little flexible, and we'll reschedule as soon as roads reopen.
Neighborhood rules
If your street in Greenville is narrow or has HOA restrictions, a store lot or wide road nearby makes the handoff quick.
Campus timing
Demand around East Carolina University peaks in late summer and at the end of the spring term. Book early if you're moving at those times, and check whether campus lots allow a carrier.
Off the interstate
With I-795 about 33 miles away, some carriers will ask to meet closer to the highway or along US-264. Door-to-door pickup is still the default whenever the truck can reach you.
