    Labeled boxes
    Dennis M.

    I used this company twice within a three month period. The first move went really well so I thought I would just use them again for the second move . If I could give a zero I would. The movers if you want to call them that were people they hired off the streets and did not have moving experience. All my boxes were labeled but they could not read English so marking the boxes was a waste of time. Things were moved into the wrong rooms and lamps were broken. The crew leader was the only one who had experience but he could not be everywhere . A move that should have taken a few hours was milked into an entire day of moving. They also were caught passing my furniture out the balcony window instead of carrying down the steps. If you hire this company make sure you buy insurance, demand experienced movers. Have them Show proof. Because anyone can go pick up guys off the street. But to pay a premium for inexperienced movers is an insult. Management did provide me a discount and did fix the two broken lamps but only after I complained big time. They were only going to offer me a few dollars for both lamps which really set me off. Pictures of this move are enclosed.

    I've used Around Town Movers Before and went back to them for my recent local move. The move went smoothly and the movers were hard workers. But somehow during the process of my move, my TV broke. I called the corporate office and filed a claim for my TV. They were basically non-responsive but I was persistent and continued to call the moving company back to check in with my claim. They finally offered me a $50 credit to 'maintain good relations.' They said they aren't sure what happened. I paid for a local move and tipped each mover. I expected them to act responsibly and cover the claim for anyone but especially a returning customer. I'm shocked and infuriated they refuse to take responsibility for something that they broke.

    While our move wasn't perfect, it was good, and considering the difference in affordability compared to other companies that were significantly more expensive, I'd say we had a pretty good experience. We used Around Town Movers to move from our first home in Falls Church to a new home in Fairfax in November of 2017, with one night of overnight storage in between as we had back to back closings on both houses. The team came to our house to pack up on a Tuesday, stored our belongings overnight, then met us at the new house Wednesday to unload. PROS: -significantly less expensive than other larger companies with many of the same benefits -simple process to book and confirm -was able to request a nonsmoking crew, who arrived on time and were polite and courteous -did not charge us a fee for overnight storage -the guys worked pretty quickly packing up our things and wrapped everything securely (see photos) which was a big help as it was raining the day we moved out -house was well protected and movers did take care to keep our belongings safe. We had a few minor incidents but overall they did a good job -overall, I'd recommend and honestly wouldn't necessarily be willing to pay another $1k for a larger company based on the cons below CONS: -The gentleman who did our home visit to do a quote wasn't as thorough as other companies when it came to assessing how many belongings we had. He said he didn't need to look inside our shed or crawl space although I stressed that we WOULD need to move our lawn mower, grill, etc., and ultimately on moving day, there was not enough room in the truck for all of our belongings. Luckily between our SUV and a family member's SUV we were able to make a couple of trips to make it work, but it definitely wasn't convenient or fun to load up lawn equipment and dirty patio items into personal vehicles when we'd paid for movers. We did report the issue and they did remove an hour's worth of charges to compensate, which I felt was fair. Frankly, I'm amazed they got everything they did into one truck (see photo) -We did have a few minor incidents, one in particular where a mover was putting down an end table and dinged the wall pretty good. However, he did point it out right away, photograph it, and flagged for his supervisor. We also had some trouble with our bedroom dresser. During the initial consult we were told it would just get wrapped with the drawers inside of it, but they ultimately removed them during the move. When they reassembled the dresser during the move in, a few of the drawers were forced, breaking the tracks so the drawers couldn't be inserted smoothly (see photo). We filed a claim and got it resolved, but like most people, didn't opt for the more expensive moving insurance so we only got about $60 back on an expensive dresser. It's not totally ruined, just bummed that we were told it would get handled one way but was then handled differently, resulting in damage. -We bought the crew lunch on move-in day, which I was more than happy to do, but they didn't amend the hourly fees to reflect the lunch break, which some other companies do -There was a bit of a language barrier with the crew, which wasn't an issue for the most part, but at the end of the move when I asked to speak with a supervisor to clarify the hour they were comping for not fitting everything into the truck, I think the crew member who dinged the wall misunderstood and thought I was upset with him, and became upset. It was uncomfortable and I called the supervisor later that evening and asked him to please clarify that we were happy with the team overall and that our questions weren't based on their efforts Overall, it was a decent experience with more pros than cons, and I don't think I'd be willing to pay almost twice as much for a larger company - just my personal preference during an already expensive time.

    We had an EXCELLENT move with Around Town on the weekend of June 2, 2018. We moved from a townhouse in Herndon to a Single-Family House in North Herndon, and the crew did an amazing job. The process was so quick & easy - they actually finished before their allotted time frame. The crew showed up directly on time and got to work expertly packing the moving truck. They were careful to wrap furniture, and did not ding even one wall in the whole house. I hope to never have to move again (let's be real, moving is the worst!) but if I do, I would gladly hire Around Town Movers again!

    The business model for this company is SO deceitful. The "one month free" really isn't a month but…read moreuntil the 31st, regardless of when you sign up; which I found out when calling to confirm our move-out date. On top of that, they don't send bills, reminders or any sort of e-mail, so you just have to figure it out... By then, I assumed they had my credit card on file, since no reminder/bill arrived, so when we went to move our things, our space was locked, we owed the rent, and they charged an extra $60 on late fees. When I asked about that on the phone they say "they don't do that (send bills)". Not only did that delay our move for 30 mins that we had to pay our movers, but left a horrible taste. When we called a few days later to cancel, our account was already canceled, even though we had paid until the 31st. An absolutely horrible experience, with a malicious business model.

    I usually don't write reviews however I felt compelled to write one today. The first time that I…read morecame past EZ storage located in Sterling/ Herndon Virginia, 2 years ago I met a young lady by the name of Debbie and her husband. They have some of the best customer service that I have ever experienced in an extremely long time. The staff there are so well trained by Debbie and her husband and loaded with accurate information to be able to assist any customer that comes in. However there have been a few staff members that may need to stay under Debbie and her husband just a tad longer just to grasp those necessary skills to be able to assist customers in an appropriate fashion. I was in the facility about three weeks ago and a young lady by the name of Patricia Hall was in the facility. Not knowing whether I am already a customer or a potential customer she was not only rude to me as a potential customer but she was extraordinarily abrupt and abrasive with the staff. I would never have known that she was the district manager only because she was shabbily dressed and just had a air of discontent and unawareness about her person, no tact, no professionalism and absolutely no respect for any other person in her immediate area weather potential customer or staff member. There was a young man by the name of El Dorado who was amazing. He was trying to help me and every other customer that came into the facility at that moment. All this time I thought that Debbie and her husband were the owners of this particular location. I asked for them and was told by one of the other staff members that came from the back that she and her husband were out for four days, I was immediately saddened. But lo and behold Debbie and her husband came in as I was standing there about 15 minutes after I have my brief encounter with Ms. Patricia Hall who is supposed to be the district manager. I told them about my experience and one of the other ladies by the name of Ms.Peggy who is always extremely helpful and very professional let me know that Debbie and her husband are not the owners but they are staff members as the rest of them are. I was absolutely shocked, stunned and dumbfounded. Debbie and her husband have always been extraordinarily helpful weather it is information on a unit, moving to a larger unit, information on how payments need to be made and or placed, who to call when things aren't working appropriately, just a plethora of things. The staff is always kind calm and courteous. I'm just hoping that someone from the corporation itself gets a chance to read this and understand from a consumer standpoint that it pays to have people like Debbie and her husband running their facilities.
