Best Media, PA Moving Company
Media is the county seat of Delaware County and calls itself Everybody’s Hometown. It is a small borough, well under one square mile, laid out on a grid of streets around the county courthouse. Our Tri-State crew moves families, renters, and downsizers in and out of Media often, and we know how its busy downtown and older side streets work on moving day. It is part of our Tri-State moving service.
State Street is the heart of town, with shops, restaurants, and the Media Theatre. It is also where the SEPTA trolley runs right down the middle of the road, so a moving truck cannot just stop anywhere. Many people here live in apartments above stores or in small condo buildings near downtown. Those moves often mean narrow stairways, tight hallways, and a short window to load. We plan the truck spot ahead of time and bring the right size truck so we are not blocking traffic or the trolley tracks. If your building has a back lot or rear entrance, we will use it.
Off State Street, the borough is full of older single homes, twins, and Victorian houses on tree-lined blocks near the courthouse. These homes are beautiful, but they come with steep stairs, small doorways, and porches that make big furniture tricky. We pad railings and floors, take apart beds and tables, and carry heavy pieces out carefully. Street parking is tight on many blocks, so we will ask about your block before the move and check whether the borough needs a permit or parking arrangement.
Just outside the borough, many homes with a Media address sit in Middletown and Upper Providence Townships. These are larger single-family homes with longer driveways and more room for a truck. Families here have lots of green space close by, from Ridley Creek State Park to Tyler Arboretum. Need help getting ready? Our packing and unpacking service can box up the whole house or just the kitchen and fragile items.
We also move people all around the area, including West Chester and Broomall, so a move up Route 1 or across Delaware County is no problem. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Media move like we are moving our own neighbors. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 410-499-8777 for a free quote.

“I used A&M Friendly Movers in 2022. They were prompt, friendly and efficient. I was having a family crisis and was visibly upset, they were compassionate and continued unloading and listening to my friend who was helping. They understood and gave me well wishes. They took a small break and we made small talk. It was a very hot day and i was concerned for them over heating. Very professional and excellent packers! Nothing was broken or damaged. I would use them again and will recommend them to anyone”

Moving in Media: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Media. Here’s what we plan around.
Meters run until 8 PM
Media’s meters and kiosks are enforced from 8 AM to 8 PM, Monday through Saturday, and Zone 1 around State Street has a 3-hour limit.
Check for permit-only signs
Streets posted with black ‘Residential Permit Parking Only’ signs require a borough permit, though residents can get guest passes for up to one week.
Request bulk pickup by Monday
Bulk trash is collected the last Wednesday of the month; request it by noon on the Monday before, with a five-item limit and no Freon appliances.
Wrap mattresses for pickup
Mattresses must be wrapped in plastic or a mattress bag for bulk collection, and TVs, computers and microwaves aren’t accepted.
Line up your occupancy certificate
Media’s Certificate of Occupancy application covers property sales and tenant transfers, so sellers and landlords should build it into the move timeline.
What Shapes Your Media 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 Delaware County, or out of state. Local moves are hourly; long-distance moves are priced upfront.
Access
Move time in Media depends on finding a legal loading spot near the State Street trolley line, stairs in older homes and apartments over shops, and tight street parking on borough blocks.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
