First time ever using a moving service and I'm so glad I contacted Box and Barter. Reggie made the whole process so much less stressful and was very easy to work with. I ended up with so much more than I originally mentioned to him and, he was graciously willing to work with me with all the changes. I couldn't be thankful enough for Reggie and his team for moving everything and also taking care of junk removal. I found the price very reasonable. Overall Reggie and his team were very considerate and kind and, I will definitely be using Box and Barter again the next time I move. read more

These guys were courteous and fast. I am forever grateful and will be using them for my next move! read more

Box And Barter - They did an amazing job - Movers Near Me

I reached out through yelp and texted from two phone numbers. Got a response through my second text attempt. Went through inventory, took pictures, was told Wednesday I'd have the estimate by end of day. Never heard anything back. Never in my life have I had to work so hard to give someone my business. I went with another company. read more

Had to use Box and Barter a second time. They were just as professional, on time, great communication. Highly recommend!

We have moved 6 times in the last 10 years all across the country. This is the first move that happened without any hiccups. I cannot recommend Reggie and his crew highly enough. We hired them for both packing and moving. There was not a single thing that I had asked for that was denied, from moving things off the wall like TVs to replacing them on walls. Other companies were very shy about touching anything that was mounted. He is a man of his word and will honor the quote and even came back to help with a TV mounting that they were not able to do that same day. Do yourself a favor, if you're moving, hire Reggie and his crew. read more

This move was amazing! As we were downsizing, there wasn't a huge amount of furniture to go to the new place but a lot left over. Every piece of furniture that we didn't want to keep, along with some appliances, tvs, dishes, and tools were all taken as well to be, depending on the condition, resold - for which we were paid for, donated - which we were planning to do and so it saved us a trip or two, or dumped if in poor condition. There is a charge for that but so, so worth! I don't know what we would have done if we had to get rid of it on our own. And the service couldn't have been any better! Reggie (and, I'm so sorry, I've forgotten the other man's name but I'm pretty sure it started with a J) were incredible - super friendly, very professional, moved at a good pace, were very patient and went above and beyond, such as asking for the vacuum to clean up after themselves! I would most definitely use this company again and recommend to everyone I know (and don't know, like those of you reading this). I have moved many, many times and while I have basically been pleased with the other companies I have used, this was the best by far! read more

I've now used Reggie at Box and Barter multiple times and have had great experiences all around. He's professional, honest, and capable. Thanks Reggie! read more

The crew at Box and Barter were absolutely incredible! Reggie had excellent communication from the very start and helped me through some scheduling conflicts and was willing to fit me in on a day where they were already booked. His explanation of the costs was very clear and there were no hidden costs. His crew were fantastic and very professional. They asked me where things needed to be, and never assumed anything. They managed to get my heavy Husky drawers up 3 flights of stairs! Amazing value, phenomenal service. Would 100% recommend. They would be my first choice in case of another move. read more

We contacted Box and Barter for our recent moving needs. Extremely professional and detailed oriented from the beginning. They sent a contract right away and confirmed our appointment. On the day of the move (today), they arrived on time and made sure all of our furniture was handled with care. Everything was just excellent! I would recommend this company for your next move. read more

Thank you Reggie and team! End to end - great experience. I started my search process by filling out a quick Yelp questionnaire and Box and Barter were quick in responding to my needs. Once we had explained the dates and locations what the move would entail, Reggie was able to quote me a very competitive price and he quickly booked our move with a small deposit up front. On the day of, him and his one assistant were onsite and quick to start packing. The service isn't per hour and rather by the job, so though the team was efficient, we weren't in a time crunch. They moved all of our items with ease and packed them up nicely so that nothing would break during the drive over. The move on the other end of the trip was great as well. Reggie and his assistant worked effectively and moved all our items to the areas that we wanted them placed. This helped us get quickly situated in our new area and gave us a sense of home as we settled in. Thank you for your service Box and Barter! Highly recommend! read more

I don't leave many reviews but when I say 5 STAR SERVICE I MEAN that! I have now used Box and Barter twice and both times I was throughly impressed by the efficiency, quickness and phenomenal customer service! The owner Reggie and his team did NOT come to disappoint! Not only are they polite but they came in and got to work immediately! They didn't break, scratch or ruin a thing as they handled everything with care and my second time I had much more to move than the first time and much heavier items as well! So many of these moving companies are lackadaisical, overpriced and rude but the Box an Barter team are setting the tone for what working with movers should be. SO MUCH bang for you buck and payment plans are available too! I would recommend they to anyone! Thanks guys! read more

I'm giving this business 5 stars for 3 reasons: 1. The efficiency: Reggie and his team were organized, determined, and relentless. As soon as they arrived, and the walkthrough was completed, they got to work moving all of my items. They did not stop moving, planning, and organizing all my items and furniture until the job was complete. Reggie had a full team and was able to complete the job within 4 hours. 2. The quality of the service: Reggie and his team were extremely polite and were always professional. They ensured all items and furniture were in the right locations and were willing to go out of their way to relocate items if needed. They were careful with all of my items and made sure everything was packed in a manner that would minimize any possible damage to my furniture. They were accountable with all of my items and created such a strong level of trust between us during the move. 3. The business model/affordability: Box and Barter is one of the only moving companies I know that is willing to buy furniture you do not want (as long as it is in good condition) and take it off of the final move price. This is an incredible idea and benefits both the customer and the company. I have moved multiple times throughout the past 3 years and have utilized a moving company on every move. Reggie and his team are by far the best moving company I have ever utilized and I hope this company experiences continued success throughout the years. read more

I have used Box and Barter for 3 moves. I could not be happier with how they do everything. Response, cost, flexibility and problem solving. I wish there were a few more stars...they're that good! read more

Reggie and his team were great. Reggie was very professional and easy to work with. We had to change our move date and he was more then willing to accommodate. They cleaned up after themselves, and took their time with loading and unloading. They arrived on-time, were polite and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

Box And Barter - Movers Near Me

See all

The Good: I was a mess. This was my second move in the year, I had moved across country in August and had to quickly schedule a move out of my building Old City due to a mold issue within six months of my arrival in Philly. My last movers were total scammers and I was super stressed at having to go through it again in only six months. I chose these guys because of the reviews, because my last move had put me in so much debt and I was hoping to sell some of my things in trade. I had started a new job, I was sick from mold poisoning, and not at my best. I don't have a car here so Reggie was super generous about having one of his helpers drive me in his car. I had limited time and I was up all night packing. When I ran out of packing material there was still glass wear in my kitchen. The guys could have left my stuff, but the put it in bags and didn't break anything. We also had to stop at a storage unit because not all my stuff would fit in my new apartment. These aren't bad guys, I just don't think I got the same service other reviewers did. The Not So Good: Apparently I was quoted for two people and there were four people, but they were not professional movers. Despite the extra hands it took four people longer to move my belongings than it took two people every other move I have ever done (and I have moved a lot), four times during the pandemic alone. This move took four hours, most folks I have worked with loaded my things in a truck in one hour and unloaded in one. Granted, I am usually completely packed, but I was so tired from being up all night and being sick from my moldy building. So, I will give some grace here. Also, they did have to take my bed and a few other items (planters and stools and two boxes, nothing more) to a storage facility. But my entire move was within a 2 mile radius. It was definitely a newer operation and the guys were not as trained as movers I have had in the past. The Kind of Shady: I was moved from a 600 sq ft one bedroom into a 400 sq ft studio. I was quoted $600 which seemed OK, but I was told that some of my stuff would be taken in trade. I had and the lack of travel time between buildings, storage unit, and that there were elevators in all buildings. I offered it to him because I felt so bad for not being ready for the move. However, it was only my kitchen I hadn't finished and all my furniture was broken down, my rugs were rolled up and wrapped, my boxes were labeled and stacked. I had to move my sofa frame out myself as it couldn't be done by the movers. In hindsight I could have gone back and finished packing up the kitchen myself and rented a car to bring it to my new place. They did not have packing material with them, so there was nothing I could do in the moment other than help them put my left over kitchen items in my grocery bags. Unlike other customers I got no money taken off for any of the items Reggie took and I was encouraged to leave a tip, which after donating usable items like steal shelving, an extension ladder, not to mention left over moving supplies and a very nice bike, seemed pretty uncool. I ended up tipping $75, so $675 for a move with two stops in a 2 mile radius but furniture that didn't fill up 600 sq ft. Everything is getting so expensive now, I don't even know what to think. I don't feel like this was a deal for me. I feel like people are consistently taking advantage and that I should become more suspicious, which just isn't my nature. I appreciated the grace they showed me in a stressful time, but I also don't know that they were the right movers for me at that time. I do have a lot of remorse for giving my bike away, I thought it would show my gratitude, I was hoping it would have made up for a tip, but no, not only was I not offered money for any of the things they agreed to take, they took my bike and still pushed me for a tip when they knew I was financially stressed already. After this and my previous experience with movers, I will likely never hire movers again and instead rent my own truck and hire folks off Task Rabbit to help me. Even if I go across country again, I will drive the truck myself. I would highly recommend any single person do the same. I have lost thousands and thousands of dollars in the last year due to movers. I wouldn't say they were bad, I just did not get the 5 star experience the other folks on here did. read more

Fantastic company! They helped me move from the 3rd floor to the 19th floor in 1.5 hours. Well priced, professional and motivated - highly recommend. read more

I really can't say enough good things about the job Reggie and his team did with our COMPLICATED move. From the reservation to the forward team that strategized the move at our house, to the absolutely flawless execution loading a ton of our stuff in the middle of Center City morning traffic to unloading everything at our new home. Everything was perfect. Reggie and his team are all consummate professionals at every step and warm, friendly people to boot. I just hope that when Box and Barter becomes the next worldwide moving conglomerate, Reggie remembers the little people like my wife and I. A+++ experience. Hire them!!!! read more

Box And Barter - Almost packed! - Movers Near Me

Reggie and his team made moving as easy as possible. This was the least stressful move my wife and I have had! Pricing is reasonable. Service is fantastic. You won't regret going with Box&Barter! read more

Reggie and Deneen run a top notch moving service. They showed up on time for each part of my move and handled my belongings with the utmost care. Their service is reliable, efficient, and they are trustworthy. These are three qualities you should expect and hope to receive when folks are handling your personal items. They moved heavy, oversized, bulky items with no damage to the old or new place. In addition they moved out and disposed of furniture and past their prime belongings I no longer needed and couldn't gift away, added bonus to their moving service. This was a lifesaver and avoided paying more for junk removal. Hopefully I'm not moving any time soon but when I do I'll absolutely call Box & Barter!!!!! read more

Reggie and Jake were quick and efficient helping me moving from West Philly into Rittenhouse. They arrived on time and packed everything efficiently! I highly recommend hiring them. read more

Reggie and his team were fantastic. They arrived on time and we're extremely friendly, helpful, and great to work with. The pricing was extremely reasonable and all of my questions were answered every step of the way. I highly recommend Box and Barter! read more

Reggie and his team were the best moving company I've ever used (and I move often)!! I was given a heads up when they were on their way and they arrived on time. Everything was very fast and efficient, nothing was damaged, and the entire team was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend them a hundred times and will definitely be using them in the future for any moving needs! read more

Reggie and his team came quickly and responded immediately to our emergency. Our puppy was extremely sick and had accidents all over our carpet. Their concern was really mostly about our dog and how he was doing. This was some of the best service that I have ever received. They moved their schedule around for an emergency service. I highly recommend this business and their immaculate results. They were careful during the pandemic wearing their face masks and were nice as could be. Thank you! read more

Excellent experience with local move with Reggie and his team at Box and Barter!!! The response time was amazing and all over text and email, no phone calls necessary. The price beat everyone else in the area also. They arrived with a large team of very professional guys and if it weren't for the bed frame being impossible to take apart and put back together (west elms fault not theirs!!) the move would have been extremely speedy. Our stuff arrived intact with nothing broken, including my peloton bike! Payment was a breeze at the end. Would definitely recommend Reggie and his team for moves in the KOP area and wherever else they are!! read more

This company went way above and beyond what was asked of them. I requested that they pack up and ship a huge record album collection and other objects from my late brother's house. Due to Covid, I could not travel from my location to Philadelphia, PA. Reggie, the owner, kept me informed every step of the way. He phoned me often and took the time to text me photos of the objects that I requested, in order to be certain that they were the right ones. I recommend Box and Barter to those who seek not just professional, but personalized service. I am very pleased. read more

Reggie and his crew are the best. Quick and professional, even on a hot day!

Used this company to move a packed up storage locker into our new 2 story 3 bed home and Box And Barter was incredibly efficient yet careful with our more important boxes. took 3.5 hours to pack and unpack an entire home with their help! Would recommend to others read more

I've used box and barter several times in the past 2+ years. Every time I contact Reggie for help with a move he does an outstanding job. I highly recommend and will continue to both recommend and hire him for future moving needs. You will not be disappointed. read more

Ghosted during the planning process. Reggie assured me they could help, I sent the details and pictures he requested, and never heard back. Do not recommend. read more

We moved from S. Jersey to Philly. The owner, Reggie, is personable and professional. His entire crew was careful with our belongings and treated our property with respect. Philly apartments often have tight corners and narrow stairs- ours was no different- but Reggie's team went above and beyond to fit every piece. They were very reasonably priced. We would highly recommend them. read more

I was extremely pleased with Reggie and his staff. Reggie especially takes great pride in his work and he answered all of my questions no matter how silly they may have been. He was thorough and even took items off my hand I didn't want anymore. I would highly recommend them to anyone. It was a stressful time for me but Reggie's team helped make my move go smoothly. read more

Reggie and his crew were AMAZING!!! His rates are fair and his concept is genius. Not only was the crew polite and kind, but they were true professionals. They safely moved all of our items and took such care to make sure everything was packed into their truck and unpacked properly once we arrived (and I'm pretty sure my lack of spacial awareness made that part difficult). On top of it all, Reggie is a nice guy and a pleasure to work with. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in the area (plus I'm pretty sure they do long distance moves, so an added bonus if you're moving far away). Thank you Box & Barter for making what could have been a miserable experience moving so positive! read more

I can't say enough good things about Reggie and his crew. Reggie made my recent move smooth and stress free. His initial response was prompt and professional. He quotes based on the size of your move, not by the hour. In my case, that was a lifesaver because the elevator in the building we were moving into took forever and would have cost me a lot of money with other movers who charge by the hour. I moved on a holiday weekend, and there was no up charge for that. On the day of the move, Reggie stayed true to his price quote (which, by the way, was very reasonable compared to other movers) and agreed to take the items that I could not fit into my new space at no cost to me. He even "bartered" for some of the nicer items, saving me some money on the overall cost of the move. I highly recommend Reggie and his team of professionals. read more

The team at Box and Barter are amazing! They worked with me from quote to finish and went above my own needs. Reggie reached out personally to put the quote together, which NO other company wanted to do. They are professional and also genuinely incredible people. They were able to move my home as well as clean out the remains of the house we sadly had to leave. Even when we were moving little things from our cars, they jumped in to help and make sure everything was taken care of. Highly recommended for any kind of moving and removal! Thank you so much for everything! read more

Reggie and team were such an amazing help with my long distance move. Reliable, quick, efficient and friendly, I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Pricing was very fair and Reggie was easy and great to communicate with throughout the process. read more

Thank you to Rachel and Reggie! I was in short need of an upholstery cleaning and they were able to schedule an appointment within a few days of my initial request. Rachel was professional, quick, and thorough. Would definitely recommend Box and Barter for their exceptional customer service. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Box and Barter! Reggie and his team moved us today and they are extremely professional. conscientious, very diligent, very thorough and just all around an excellent moving company. I very rarely write reviews but this moving company is really outstanding. Oh... and the price they charged was significantly less than other mover estimates. If you're in the market for a mover, you really need to check them out. They're a family-owned and operated company, and they really are a cut above the rest. A truly exceptionally run company that prides itself on exceeding customer expectations, which it wholeheartedly did in our case, and from the looks of the other reviews, that's a pretty consistent experience. read more

It was great working with Reggie and Rachel! They were kind and professional and patient with our last minute packing and move. Great people! Their flat rate was truly a flat rate. Grateful for their hard work and good attitudes while doing it! read more

Reggie and his team are an amazing crew who we are so appreciative to! Reggie is a great business owner who is very responsive and fair in his pricing. He has assembled a great team who truly impressed us. My family's move was certainly not a quick and easy one, and they stepped up to the challenge and helped us so much! I 1000% recommend using Box and Barter for your move and will tell all my friends and family the same. read more
