High Point Furniture Market load-in and load-out help
Twice a year the whole furniture industry comes to our home town. Movewise is based in High Point, and we bring the crew to unload your truck, carry your pieces in and set up your space, then pack it all back out when Market closes.
Load-in before Market
We meet your truck, trailer or van at the dock or the curb and get everything off it. Case goods, upholstery, lighting, rugs and display pieces get carried in and placed where you want them, so you can spend your setup days styling the space instead of hauling it.
Load-out after Market
When the doors close, we pack your pieces back onto your truck. Heavy pieces go in first against the front wall, pads go on the finishes, and the load gets tied off so it rides home without shifting.
Moving pieces during Market
Need furniture moved between buildings, swapped out mid-week, or carried to a buyer’s truck? Call or text and tell us what needs to go where.
Who we help during Market
Showroom exhibitors
Brands bringing in new pieces for the season, or clearing out samples after it.
Temporary exhibitors
Smaller brands setting up a booth or suite for the week, who need extra hands at the dock.
Designers and retailers
Buyers loading floor samples and purchases onto their own truck or trailer to take home.
Homeowners renting for Market
Renting your house to Market visitors? We can move furniture into a storage unit or a rented truck before guests arrive, and bring it back after. See storage unit help.

Market week is the busiest stretch of the year in High Point. The sooner we have your dates, the easier it is to hold a crew for you.
Why a High Point crew
We live and work here, so we know the downtown traffic, the one-way streets and the parking squeeze that come with Market week. Being local also means no travel time added to your bill and an easy call if your schedule moves.
Movewise is labor only. We do not supply trucks or handle freight shipping. You bring the truck or arrange delivery, and we do the lifting.
Questions
When is High Point Market?
Market runs twice a year, in the spring and the fall. Load-in starts in the days before Market opens, and load-out runs as soon as it closes.
Do you bring a truck?
No. Movewise is labor. You bring the truck, trailer or van, or have your freight delivered, and our crew does the carrying, unloading, loading and setup.
Can you get into the showroom buildings?
Some Market buildings ask temporary workers to show photo ID and be signed in by the exhibitor. Our crew brings ID, and you sign us in at the dock like any other contractor you hire.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Load-in and load-out days are the busiest days of the year in High Point, and crews fill up fast. Send your dates, building and dock times as soon as you have them.
Can you help with both load-in and load-out?
Yes. Book load-in before Market, load-out after it closes, or both. If you know your dock appointment times, send them and we will build the crew schedule around them.
