Great article. That is why my wife and I moved back down to Charleston…we couldn’t stay away! Left the hustle and bustle of Boston and opened up a customer service driven moving company in the Lowcountry. Boston is filled with moving companies with great reputations and wanted to carry that same philosophy down to Charleston.
