Military Moving Services for Service Members and Families
STOMO handles local and longer-distance moves within South Carolina. Whether you are moving from base housing to a home in town or relocating to another part of the state, our team can help with the heavy lifting.
Local Military Moves
Moving to a nearby home or apartment can still take time and effort, especially when you have furniture, boxes, and other household belongings to transport. STOMO loads your items, moves them to your new address, and unloads them at the destination.
Long-Distance Moves Within South Carolina
Military orders may require a move to another part of the state. We handle longer-distance moves within South Carolina, such as Charleston to Columbia or Beaufort to Myrtle Beach. Your price is agreed upon before the move, so there are no hourly charges for loading and unloading.
Apartment Moves
Moving between apartments can involve stairs, elevators, shared entrances, and limited parking. STOMO helps move your furniture, boxes, and other belongings between addresses. When requesting a quote, let us know about stairs, building access, parking restrictions, and any large or heavy items so we can plan for your move.

Personally Procured Moves (PPM)
A Personally Procured Move (PPM) is a military move that a service member arranges independently under the military’s relocation program. Before booking, check with your transportation office to find out whether your planned move qualifies and what paperwork you will need.
Some PPM claims require empty and full weight tickets, along with other documents. Confirm these requirements with your transportation office before choosing a moving company. STOMO provides household moving services within South Carolina, but you should not assume that a booking automatically qualifies for reimbursement or that STOMO provides every document required for a PPM claim.
Before You Book
Confirm eligibility
Ask your transportation office whether the planned move qualifies.
Verify paperwork
Find out which documents, weight tickets, or receipts are required.
Do not assume reimbursement
A moving-company booking does not automatically mean the move will be reimbursed.
Moving After Retirement or Separation
Retirement or separation from military service may mean moving into a civilian home, settling closer to family, or relocating to another South Carolina community. STOMO can help with the household move, including loading, transportation, and unloading.
If you expect the military to cover some moving costs, check with your transportation office before booking. They can explain whether you qualify for assistance and what expenses or documents are required.

How early should I book a military move?
Contact STOMO as soon as you have a likely moving date. Late spring and summer are busy moving periods, so booking early may give you more options. Availability depends on your requested date.
Can I use a moving company for a Personally Procured Move (PPM)?
Yes, but check with your military transportation office before booking to confirm the service meets your PPM requirements, which expenses qualify, and what paperwork you need.
Do I need weight tickets for a PPM?
Some PPM claims require certified weight tickets and other supporting documents. Confirm the requirements with your transportation office, and ask about documentation before booking your move.
Will the movers pack my household belongings?
No. You pack your belongings before moving day. The moving team loads your packed items, transports them to your new address, and unloads them.
Can I move to another state under my moving agreement?
No. STOMO provides household moving services within South Carolina. If your orders require an interstate move, you will need a company that handles moves across state lines.
Can movers access military housing or a base?
Access depends on the installation’s rules and the arrangements available for your move. If either address is on a military installation, mention this when requesting a quote so access requirements can be checked.
