Carey Moving & Storage: A Look Back at Our History
Carey Moving & Storage is a full-service moving company that provides packing, moving, and storage services to clients around the world for over 100 years. With offices in Spartanburg, Asheville, Charlotte, Greenville, and Knoxville, Carey has established itself as one of the most trusted national movers in the United States and Canada. Here, we will explore the history of Carey Moving & Storage, including its founding, growth, and philosophy.
Establishment and Growth
Carey Moving & Storage was founded in South Carolina in 1907. The company began expanding in the Greenville, SC area shortly after, offering full-service moving and storage to local clients. With the establishment of Allied Van Lines in 1928, Carey being one of its founding members, the company expanded its moving services to cover the eastern coast of the United States. This strategic move was instrumental in Carey’s success and set the stage for the company’s continued growth.
Over the following years, Carey’s full-service moving company expanded its hauling fleet and operations to encompass service up and down the entire East Coast. It also expanded its service offerings to include packing, crating, hauling, and storage. The company now has over 1100 agents in the United States and Canada, and 300 Allied International agents, positioning Carey as one of the most trusted national movers. In addition to agents dedicated to residential moves, Carey also employs over 175 agents dedicated to corporate and private transfer clients.
Our Philosophy of Work
One of the keys to Carey’s success has been its dedication to providing high-quality moving services to its clients. Carey’s philosophy has always been to treat every client with care and respect and to provide them with the highest quality moving services available at any cost, anywhere. The company has built a reputation for excellence, and clients know that when they choose Carey, they are choosing a company that will take care of their belongings as if they were their own.
Another key aspect of Carey’s success is its customer service commitment. The company understands that moving can be a stressful and emotional experience, and it strives to make the process as smooth and easy as possible for its clients. Carey’s agents are trained to provide excellent customer service, and the company has developed a reputation for being responsive, communicative, and helpful.
Awards and Recognitions
Over the years, Carey has received numerous awards and accolades for its services. One of the company’s biggest accomplishments is its status as an Allied Quality Award Winner. Allied Van Lines upholds a Quality Mover program, and only companies that meet specific criteria can earn this recognition. Carey has consistently demonstrated a strong code of ethics, a commitment to customer satisfaction, and adherence to best practices in long-distance moving. The company has earned high scores in the four categories of in-home estimate, packing, loading, and unloading of goods.
Apart from that, the company has received various recognitions like the Women’s Choice Award for America’s Most Recommended Moving Company, Allied “Better Together” Agent of the Year award, Allied Customer for Life award, Newsweek best customer service award, a finalist for 2021 Best of Spartanburg in the category “Best Moving Service Company”, and more.

We are settled in, and have time to consider how easily the move was from Vonore, TN to Lansing, MI.The move not nearly as hectic as we thought it would be, this is in part due to the excellent performance by your people, namely Justin Schott the group leader. Justin had a handle on the entire move. Justin’s concerns were that the items be handled carefully and that they be placed where the client wanted them. Tim and Xavier are fine gentlemen, they too had the same concerns as Justin. Cody and Joe did their best to pack our goods so as to have little damage.The named are a credit to the Carey Moving Company. We are happy that we named you folks to do our transfer, thank you.

Pat-As mentioned we have not fully unpacked yet so hopefully all things are here. Other than that confirmation, the fellows who moved us were extremely courteous and mannerly. Much appreciated. They were very careful about not scratching the walls. They were also careful to ask where items should be placed. They arrived on time for delivery.

I would like the manager of the Arden office to know that the staff that handled our move into your storage facility was superb. Kim explained everything very clearly up front and there were no nasty surprises thereafter. Brian bossed the packing day and the loading day with ease and grace and I cannot tell you how relieved I was to know I was in good hands. The others, Lori, Doug, Tom, and Bob were also very good at what they do. Thank you. I look forward to delivery as soon as we find a place. Thank you.

I received my shipment on Sunday Feb 23rd. All items were in perfect shape. It was a great experience working with your company. Patrick was very helpful and knowledgeable. Being that I was in South Carolina for a very short time, he succeeded in getting everything set up in a timely manner to be packed and put on the truck. The packers were very nice and efficient and obviously packed items very well. The driver was thoughtful and called me several times to assure me that my items were on the way. He was friendly and efficient when he dropped off the boxes. You were very kind and helpful every time I called with a question and quickly handled all the paperwork.Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to all the people involved in the transport of our items.
