I had a relatively small, but challenging job that I needed the right person for. Moving a sectional/sleeper couch from my garage, down a narrow, curving staircase, to my basement. Needed strength and brains. Carson responded to my request quickly and quoted a price that was VERY reasonable for the job. He showed up the next day, right on time, and took care of it without a problem. He was a pleasure to deal with, super nice, and did a FANTASTIC job. Don't look anywhere else. He's building his business, can do moving, trash hauling, etc. You will not be sorry. I have some other work coming up and I don't have any question that I'm going to be sticking with these guys!!! read more

This company lacks integrity. Employees are rude and nasty and cared less for the items they were trusted to move. You get what you pay for when you employ certain people. read more

I am so thankful for this company! They provided the best quote in town, and came to pick up my stuff the same day I called! They were both very professional and quickly moved my couch and rug for me! I needed both items disposed of so they also do junk removal! I posted this picture explaining that I needed to get rid of the couch and rug. This company quoted me a very reasonable price, it was a fraction of all other quotes received through yelp! And they showed up within a few hours! read more

this company sucks... very unprofessional and adds on additional costs after job is done. Company lacks professionalism and integrity.

We recently used Alien movers and I couldn't be happier!!! Communication was top notch, movers were professional and their quote was spot on!! Thank you so much! read more

I had purchased an armoire back in November. It's a loooong winding tale that has nothing to do with this moving company. Just needed to mention how much I really, really wanted this piece of furniture. Anyway after so many times delivery had been canceled because of damage to the piece or needing 3 men instead of two to lift it etc. My armoire was finally here. The company did not want to damage it taking it up to the 2nd floor. I loved it too much to send it back. The company left it in my dining room and left. Using my trusty Yelp app, I started looking for moving companies. I chose The Greater Phila. Moving Co. I put a request in on Yelp and they sent me a quote. Unfortunately they charge by the hour, with a two hour minimum. I knew it wouldn't take two hour, but I didn't care. Carson and 2 other men showed up the next day (on time). I knew it was going to be a struggle, because it was a big heavy, soild piece of furniture, but they did it. There were a few scrapes on the wall, but that can easily be fixed. I didn't care, just glad it was moved. They were very professional and cognizant of my home, and I would highly recommend The Greater Philadelphia Moving Co. read more

They were late due to circumstances beyond their control, but they made up for it by bringing 4 guys instead of 2. Carson's crew were friendly, fast and extremely professional. They moved us within 2 hours and I would hire them again in a minute. Scheduling was easy with Briana. The only thing I would suggest is that their communication with clients be a bit more responsive. The price was lower than any other for our short move, and they brought a bigger truck, too.

Im writing this review on behalf of my dad. This company tried to scam my dad providing faulty insurance documentation amongst other things. I am baffled at the lengths 'certain' individuals will go to try to get money. My dad is elderly and is not tech savvy, so he reached out to me to vet the information provided. The results of the background checks performed presented many red flags. While I was looking into this, the 'company's owner' continued to desperately press my dad for $200 in deposit money which confirmed my suspicions. I immediately shut that down. Luckily my buddy and his team, who are legitimate, were able to jump in and assist with the move. Proceed with caution. Also, save the response of you don't recall communicating with my dad....we have the documentation. read more

The employees at this company including Carson are extremely unprofessional. The job performance is poor and unethical. They do not value their customers or completing jobs without taking or destroying items. read more

The communication with the main representative was quick and easy. The two guys who showed up to help us were on time and very efficient at unloading the U-Haul at both locations. They finished an under the minimum time. I would recommend alien movers read more

EXCELLENT!!! Carson responded right away to my request and accommodated me on a very short (24 hour) notice. The quote was the best in town, and it was a great deal for the quality of the service. The crew (Joe and Dev) were super efficient, kind, and proactive, even going above and beyond in helping negotiate things that were not their problem: a rude storage unit manager, and a very small studio space for a lot of furniture. The move took longer than they anticipated but they were never anything but patient and thorough. read more

Alien Movers Philly - Packed storage unit - Movers Near Me

This is a very overdue review. Clearly the crew left quite an impression on me to feel the need to write about my experience two months later. Back on June 14th I was desperate to have a massive wall unit moved out of one home and into another. I started dialing numbers and called Greater Philadelphia Moving Company and spoke with Carsen. I explained the situation and he recommended two guys and a truck. I requested three guys and sent pictures of the 9' by 12' solid cherry wood wall unit and explained it was in three separate pieces that were very heavy. I agreed to the flat fee and hourly rate for three guys and a truck and provided the two addresses. On the 15th I showed up at the first home with the homeowner who was obviously nervous about having the huge pieces moved out of her home. The truck arrived and both the homeowner and I cringed as the guys tried to pull in and park while clipping an old stone wall. Needless to say, we were worried! The guys were nice, but they literally showed up with no tools to help them lift or carry the enormous pieces. Over the next five hours, Dev, Nick and Shemar worked their butts off using only brute strength and determination to maneuver the wall unit through narrow doorways, down stairs, over a walkway, up stairs on and off a truck. Not once did they give up or complain. Together they brain stormed on the best way to accomplish the move and over those hours I gained such an immense appreciation for what the guys were doing I wanted to hug them! Without hesitation I would recommend these three guys for any job. They were an absolute joy to work with under some very difficult circumstances. While I commend Dev, Nick and Shemar for an amazing job and one hell of a hard day's work, I do feel their boss, Carsen could have made their job much easier if he supplied his movers with some simple moving tools like moving straps, dollies and gloves. I hope the gentlemen I worked with much success and if I ever need something moved, I will personally request the same three guys. Especially since the homeowner where the furniture was being moved from confided she had two other moving companies come and try to move the wall unit only to give up and walk away from the job. Dev, Nick and Shemar should be damn proud of what they accomplished without a single scratch or dent in either home or to the furniture! read more

My scheduled move time was 2pm and the movers did not get to me until 8:30pm. 6 hours late!!! And what was worse was that I had to keep calling to ask what time they were coming. They never even called to tell me they were late. Lastly they did but bring everything. I was extremely disappointed and this was beyond unprofessional!!! read more

Carson responded immediately to my request to remove a massive upright piano, and gave me a very reasonable quote. After I accepted his quote, my son decided he wanted to disassemble the piano, to repurpose the wood, but the VERY heavy cast iron parts were left. Carson revised his quote, and came at short notice to remove the remaining part. He and Nick were careful and polite, and delightful to work with. Can't recommend this company enough. Five stars. read more

Was one of the first quotes to respond and it seemed reasonable. After I gave my address he stopped responding and I never heard from him again. We had to pay someone else to remove the couch. read more

They didn't bring a large enough truck, and some of my items had to be left behind because theY wouldn't fit. Including some large items that I have no way of moving on my own. I was moving a one-bedroom apartment without a couch, and i provided a detailed list of my large items in advance, so I really don't know how they underestimated my needs that much. Very disappointing. The attached photos are of the items left behind because there was no more room on the truck. I booked because they were available on the date I wanted. They were the highest quote I got but were quick to reply and itemized the costs clearly. They arrived on time and the move took about the expected number of hours, so no surprises with the total bill. They took care with my belongings and everything arrived in one piece. I emailed the company afterward and havent yet received a reply about why I was still charged full price for an incomplete job. read more

Last minute move! I hired Greater Philadelphia Moving for a last minute job. I decided to move from one apartment to another with 2 days notice. The movers gave me an estimate and arrived on time. I wasn't able to pack everything and they added additional workers to help finish packing. The building I was moving from didn't honor use of the service elevator and my new apartment included an elevator, and long walk from the elevator to the door, so the move took a lot longer than anticipated. The GPM team did not stop until the job was complete. My items were wrapped correctly. Nothing was broken or scratched. Also, my boxes were labeled and some of them went to a separate location (a storage unit). GPM put the boxes in the correct location and even took my storage boxes to the second location. The whole crew worked hard. I highly recommend them. read more

Greater Philadelphia and Moving moved my 4 bedroom house in just 10 hours yesterday in 98 degree weather. They wrapped all the furniture to protect it. Everything arrived in the exact same condition. I chose them because they gave me a reasonable hourly price. It was worth every penny. The guys asked questions, kept us informed and moved quickly, despite the heat. I highly recommend them! read more

The booking process was very simple and the terms were explained clearly. I had no issues until moving day. I was told a crew of 3 would arrive, but the third member was over an hour late. I sent a full list of furniture to be moved yet the truck provided was so small, two trips had to made. This increased the time and price of the move. What really was terrible was the quality of the move. The movers dented and scraped walls and furniture. They complained when I asked for boxes to be carried upstairs. They flat out ignored me when I asked for certain boxes to be relocated. I understand it is an extremely hard job, but to treat a customer like they are an annoyance and damage property is unacceptable. read more

Carson and his team were great. We moved a couple very heavy safes in my home. The easy part was moving a "smaller" safe down to the garage. This one in the picture was 500-600lbs and they brought it up to my second floor office. Thank you!! read more

Hired this company for a move that was 0.4 miles away. Was quoted estimates 2 hour job with 3 movers. They took 4.5. I didn't know people could walk so slowly! They weren't methodical in packing the truck. They didn't wrap any of my furniture and now I have scuffs on a white daybed. The dropped a drawer on the road and broke it. Didn't put my dresser drawers back in the dressers in the truck (which should've just wrapped with the furniture wrap they had sitting in the truck. So we were forced to move all of 19 of our dresser drawers. One team member showed up without a mask and when I provided him one continued to make comments about wearing a mask. We are in the middle of a pandemic still and I work in healthcare, also it is an expectation and REQUIREMENT to be masked. The owner forgot to send a mattress bag with the crew even after I contacted him the morning of and he assured me he would send it. Unprofessional and unhappy with this service all around. Wish we would've went with another company. Think before you book. read more

Fast, courteous, and careful. The young men that moved me were a pleasure-they were responsive and friendly and I knew my fragile stuff would be safe. They were on time and there were no hidden surprises! Don't look anywhere else--give this small company your business. read more

They were very quick and they got the items delivered in a timely fashion. The only thing I would suggest is for them to make their rates more clearer. I ordered the service thinking I would be paying one rate and I didn't realize what their minimum would be. As long as you get that clear before you order you should be fine as the actual delivery service was good. read more

Carson and his team did a great job. They were early, yes, masked as Covid 19 makes necessary, and handled the job well and completely, and on the estimated cost. I would hire them again. Thanks and best regards. Justin read more
