    Broken 55" tv, does not even show an image. Will need to pay for another TV in addition to this service.
    Narissa T.

    Zero stars. I was excited to support a small, black owned business, and was excited about Diarra's rates. But after using their services for a studio to one bedroom move from West Seattle to 1 mile away, I lost money on their service after deducting how much of property broken and damaged (see photos of TV and furniture). I'm making a point at the top of this review to state that yes, I did speak with the owner, Ali, over the phone. He insisted that he had to come back to see the damage in person even though we had photos, before we could get some portion of the value of my property back. Seeing as there was no paperwork up front, as some other reviewers have also attested to, I find this doubtful and declined to have any more Diarra employees in or near my home as they were unprofessional and had a hard time communicating with us. I asked for a refund to help pay for all the property that is broken and was declined by the owner. The most expensive break was our 55" television, which we excitedly mounted last night only to try to turn it on and have the backlight illuminate cracking across the screen. It does not produce an image anymore. The movers did not wrap my couch and a had hard time getting in into building so they pushed and dragged in on the stairs and floor, ripping open the stitching and leaving dark drag marks on each corners. Our white cabinet was chipped into (again, see photos) and 4 of our paper wrapped crystal glasses were shattered. We've moved within Seattle a few times in the last few years and never had such a poor experience. We last used Two Men and a Truck who wrapped all items and were extremely professional and gentle with our things. We made the mistake of choosing budget over quality and we paid for it. To replace our TV alone we will have lost over $400 in the end on this move. I see on similar negative reviews for this business, the owner has commented "provide proof you hired us and you're not confused with some other business". The proof is in the photos I've attached. I would like to have my money refunded for this service. Regardless, we learned the valuable lesson that many positive Yelp reviews for movers does not mean the movers we should to hire. Yelper beware on this one, feel free to message me with any additional questions.

    Diarra Movers were amazing today!

    Diarra was incredible as they moved me from central WA to Seattle. Communication was easy and direct. The move was a breeze. The team of movers were amazing, efficient, professional, vigilant, and kind. I'm very thankful my friend recommended Diarra to me. The experience was flawless!

    From my Kirkland apartment. They damaged it while trying to move the couch.

    Zero star if I could. Do not hire these guys. I hired them for $150 an hour. Initially there has been some miscommuncation between us; I told them initially through the Yelp messaging system that the location would be from Tacoma to Kirkland. I mistakenly put down the wrong city for the starting address when they asked me about it in text. When put into Google Maps, the address does not exist. But they somehow showed up in Tacoma anyways. This was baffling and maddening, because I thought I was clear that I was moving from Tacoma to Kirkland. So I got charged for an extra hour for their mistake. I've spoken to the owner to tell him that it's a time sensitive move. That I need to get to the Tacoma storage by 7pm. They called me from Tacoma at 2:30-3pm that they are in Tacoma. They said they can come back to Kirkland if I start getting charged starting 3pm. I said yes, stupidly not knowing the further trouble the team's imcompetent would cause me. They get me my place in Kirland at around 4:30pm. Me and my friend bring down all the boxes from 2nd floor to the ground floor in the parking lot. We did this to be able to make the 7pm deadline for the storage in Tacoma; we knew it was tight so we did our best. From there it was easy for the crew to pick up and load into the truck. They came and started work. The boxes went fast. The trickier items such as the La Z Boy which I spoken to the owner's wife about was incompetently dealt with. Through Yelp's messaging system I said "I have a 250 lbs couch (a lazboy), some men delivering have struggled with it, do you think with 2 of your people it would be sufficient?" and they replied: "Yes 2 men crew will be sufficient. Thank you" (through Yelp messaging). When it came to the couch, the 2 men took over 1hour and 10minutes before giving up and calling their boss. So from 5:00pm to around 6:10pm, they were stuck on the couch. I was frustrated so I called the boss' wife who was the moving scheduler and explaned the situation. I did not get a callback. Instead, the 2 men must have called the boss and he started to make his way. The boss arrives at around 7:10pm. They get the couch out in 10 minutes. At this point I'm angry and frustrated. They also damaged vinyl laying in the hallway at multiple spots. The boss comes up to me to make a terrible deal which I had no choice but to make. It was a terrible experience. I felt intimidated. He said he will still have to charge me for 4 hours and 30 minutes of service (from 3pm to 7:30pm). And that he would store the contents overnight and drop it off in Tacoma, but I would still be charged labor costs in the morning. I said this was not a good deal for me, because his guys took 2 hours what would have been a 10 minute job which made me miss my storage unit deadline at 7pm, in addition to showing up at the wrong location. So they showed up at the storage in the morning and took them 1 hour to finish off loading it. So in total they charged me 5 hours and 30 mins for a job that should have been half of that. They only took cash, so they are probably a shady business. I should have just ran when they say they only take cash. Recent update: The damaged vinyl cost me $872.00 just found out today from my previous apartment complex manager. Avoid these people. Run. Update 2021-11-15-19:18 The owner called my phone number, I think he was trying to explain himself without any kind of an apology so I did not feel like arguing this issue at this time so I told that he will be talking with my lawyer and I hung up. He called back few minutes later not respecting my boundaries. I blocked his phone number. It feels like a gross violation of my privacy, because I'm posting an honest review and he called me on my cellphone.

They Called us promptly at 0900 and stated that they were to be here in a few minutes. Communication was amazing! This is our first time working with movers so my fiancé and I were a little nervous. When we met Justin Bell and Gus, they had made the whole experience and transition so nice! I was very impressed of how quickly they had moved all of our items and furniture to the moving truck! They wrapped our furniture very nicely and always had an upbeat attitude( Side note, we live on the second floor) Throughout the whole process, they were chatting with us and laughing and just in good spirits, again I am very impressed. Once we got to our destination, they were quick and swift in retrieving our belongings and bringing them down stairs and was able to place my items where they needed to be. All of our furniture and items arrived with no issues and no complaints. I definitely recommend Justin Bell and Gus! If you guys are ever are needing Movers, really, get these guys! They are so much fun and made this move for us a GREAT experience! They are such hard workers and you can definitely see it in their work ethic and attitude! Thank you guys for an amazing job and the laughs! I appreciate you guys so much! Unfortunately,I was not able to grab a photo as they worked and moved so quickly!

The first half of the move went smoothly, but the return trip was the worst experience I've ever had with a mover. The two movers were late and didn't cooperate to move my belongings. Instead, they preferred each using their own moving dolly, and several items fell from it, causing damage to my property. They dragged the dolly across my hardwood floors, leaving permanent gouges and scratches that they refused to fix, even though they were responsible for the damage. The return movers seemed offended when I asked them to move a couch and place an area rug underneath it. I had already explained that the rug was the only thing I needed them to place in a specific spot. The first movers had no problem moving the same couch to pack the rug for the move. After I signed the paperwork at the end of the move, the mover asked if I wanted to leave a tip. I declined, but he insisted that he moved my couch and rug and that it would be rude for me to not leave a tip. He abruptly walked away, and I had to follow him to get a receipt. I immediately reported the incident to customer service, and the mover called later to apologize. Regarding my damaged items, they only agreed to pay pennies on the pound for them which added insult to injury. They refused to take any responsibility for the damaged floor or the poor customer service experience. To make matters worse, their remedy agreement requires you to remain silent and not share or write any negative comments about them. As a result of this terrible experience, I cannot in good faith recommend All Service Movers or Angi (who provided the referral).
