Best Leland, NC Moving Company
Leland is the fastest-growing town in Brunswick County, sitting just across the Cape Fear River from downtown Wilmington and about 45 miles from our Calabash base. Big planned communities like Brunswick Forest, Magnolia Greens, and Westgate have made it a top choice for families, retirees, and Wilmington commuters.
Almost every neighborhood in Leland has an HOA, and most have rules about truck parking, move hours, and pods. We plan around those rules ahead of time. New construction is everywhere, and closing dates often shift, so we offer storage between homes and flexible delivery. Traffic on US-17 and the bridges into Wilmington gets heavy at rush hour, so we set arrival times to keep your move on schedule.
We move apartments, townhomes, and large family homes, and we handle a lot of people relocating from out of state who need a crew they can trust from a distance.
Residents love having Wilmington’s restaurants and jobs 10 minutes away while living in quieter neighborhoods with pools, trails, and golf. It is easy to see why so many people are choosing Leland, and we help them get settled fast.
We also know that Leland moves often start with a Wilmington apartment or a rental while buyers wait for a new home to be built. We keep your details on file, so when it is time for the second move into your permanent home, the whole thing is faster and easier.
From Leland we also serve Wilmington, Belville, Navassa, and Winnabow. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers makes your Leland move easy. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 910-758-0081 for a free quote.

“We used A & M for the first time today and they will become our movers of choice from now on!! JT & Zack helped us move a very large furniture piece, swap out washers and dryers between two homes both raises beach houses with directional stairs. They arrived promptly at the appointment time, were professional, moved things with care and thought and after using some others in the past few months it was a breath of fresh air to have great service that exceeded our expectations. Would recommend!”

Moving in Leland: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Leland. Here’s what we plan around.
Trash & Large Items
Brunswick County’s curbside trash (serviced by GFL Environmental) won’t take large items or extra trash, so haul leftovers to the Leland Convenience Center at 9921 Chappell Loop Road SE (open 8 a.m.–6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday; residential waste only).
Appliances & Electronics
Don’t put old appliances (white goods), electronics, or wooden pallets in your trash cart. North Carolina bans them from landfill disposal, and Brunswick County lists them as banned items.
Routes & Bridges
Leland sits directly west of downtown Wilmington across the Brunswick River. Trips into the city use the US 17/74/76 corridor and the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge (a lift bridge), or I-140, which runs from US 17 near Winnabow to I-40 and bypasses the bridge.
HOA & Condo Rules
Most master-planned HOA communities like Brunswick Forest and Magnolia Greens have rules about moving-truck parking, move hours, and gate access, so check with your HOA or property manager before move day and let us know about any certificate-of-insurance requirement.
New Construction Moves
Brunswick County had the highest estimated population growth of any North Carolina county from 2020 to 2023 (15.8%), so many Leland moves are into new construction. Keep your move date flexible in case the closing slips, and plan around hurricane season (June 1–Nov 30).
What Shapes Your Leland Move Cost
No surprises. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, so you can plan with confidence.
Home Size
How many rooms and how much furniture. A condo and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs.
Distance
Across town, across Brunswick County, or out of state. Local moves are hourly; long-distance moves are priced upfront.
Access
Most Leland moves are in HOA communities with gate check-in, parking and moving-hour rules, and US 17 and the Cape Fear bridges into Wilmington add traffic time.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
