Whether you are planning a residential, corporate, or international move, Wade Odell Wade is always the right move. With a decades-long track record of providing superior moving services, our team has the skills and know-how it takes to make your move as smooth, easy, and efficient as possible.
Every home is different, and there are a number of factors that determine the cost of a move. This is why it’s essential to get several (at least three) visual estimates before selecting a mover. We offer free on-site estimates (and video estimates for homes with three bedrooms or less). Avoid any quotes where a professional mover never visually inspects your belongings.
The earlier, the better! We recommend at least four to six weeks’ notice, if possible. The more lead-time, the more likely we will be able to meet your preferred schedule.
We offer storage for your goods on a short-term or long-term basis in our climate-controlled warehouse
We offer comprehensive and professional packing of your household contents but if you are a do-it-yourselfer, we got you covered.
We offer professional quality packing material including, blankets, boxes, wardrobes, mirror boxes, tape and much more; all for about the same price as a big box store, only pro quality. We can even deliver the material to your home prior to your move date to give you time to get things packed. Find out more.
- We are not a moving broker. We do not handoff your belongings off to a different mover. If you are moving cross country, we may partner with another United Van Lines agent that services your destination city or region. Each of our partners follows the same quality guidelines as Wade Odell Wade, so you can trust that you are in good hands.
- If you have particular unique or specialty items, we may decide it is best to bring in a moving partner with the expertise necessary to move those items safely. This can include assembling/disassembling workout equipment and other items requiring special treatment.
- Specialty items include:
- Pianos
- Swing sets
- Gym equipment
- Pool tables
- Hot tubs

- For domestic moves, we offer “valuation coverage,” which covers your belongings while they are in our care. Valuation coverage level for full value protection is determined by using $6 per pound of the estimated weight of your shipment with a $0 deductible. So if your estimated shipment weighs 4,000 lbs., your coverage is $24,000.
- For international moving, we offer a Global Protection plan. You can insure your shipment based on the final weight of your items (at $14/hundred weight) or you can insure it based on a valued inventory. If you decide to do valued inventory, you will need to complete the valuation yourself. All forms for either option are due before our crew arrives to pack everything. Both options include a $0 deductible.
- Yes, but how much protection and its cost to you depend upon the “valuation” program you choose.
- The valuation option you select determines the basis for your claim, how it will be settled, and establishes how much you will be reimbursed. The liability for loss or damage is based upon applicable tariffs and federal laws and regulations and has certain limitations and exclusions. Valuation is not insurance; it is simply a tariff-based level of motor carrier liability.
- There are three different valuation options to choose:
- Released Rate Liability – Basic Coverage
With this type of valuation, the maximum liability for loss or damage to any of your belongings is 60 cents multiplied by the weight of the article. This is the basic liability level and is provided at no charge to all moves. - Full-Value Coverage
Under this protection plan, if your articles are lost or damaged while in our care, they will either be repaired or replaced with like items, or a cash settlement will be made for the current market replacement value, regardless of the age of the thing. - Items of “Extraordinary Value”
“Articles of extraordinary value” refers to items having a value of more than $100 per pound. All “articles of extraordinary value” in your shipment must be listed on the High-Value Inventory form (this form will be given to you by your salesperson). Following is a partial list to help you identify items that might fall under this classification: furs, grand pianos, art collections, crystals, figurines, antiques, Oriental rugs, china, and silverware.
