The 2 guys who loaded my daughter's U-Haul in Arlington Virginia were great. They wrapped all the furniture, paintings, tv etc. with the blankets we rented. This was a small studio apartment move. They were careful while loading and tying everything down. I rented the 2 guys for 2 hours. This was the first time I ever used movers to load and unload a truck. I always did moves myself. The movers who unloaded the truck in Minnesota were done in an hour and 20 minutes. $250 was the charge and I tipped them another $100 because they were so professional and friendly. Exactly 3 minutes after the two hours at 12:03 John called me. The way he started out I thought he must have been sitting there staring at the clock because his first words to me were, are the guys finished loading. I replied they are standing right here. They have three small pieces ready to go on the truck. His immediate, and I mean immediate response was, well I don't do increments of minutes or quarter hours so if you don't want to pay $130 for them to load those pieces tell them to stop. Being in upper management most of my working life I would have never began the conversation in this manner. I'm 72, I knew how to get myself or my company recommended by others. I told the guys to stop loading, I will finish this myself. John heard me tell them this because I had him on speaker. I wanted John to hear me tell the guys I don't want to get you guys in trouble, I'll finish up myself. John started to say something after I told the guys I'd finish up myself, but I hung up rather than continue listening to him. Had I thought about it I would have gotten the phone numbers of the two Arlington men who loaded up the truck and told them when I hear of one of my daughter's friends moving, or one of the people I know, I will call you and tell you I have a person who wants to deal with you guys but not John. Do it on your own personal time. Start your own business. This is how the guys who unloaded the truck in Minnesota got started. They've been doing it 12 years and I can see why as they unloaded the truck. This is never about money with me. I tipped the Minnesota guys $100 and I had no problem paying the $250 for an hour and 20 minutes it took them to unload. I could have used them 40 more minutes and had them unwrap everything and set everything up, but we wanted to do that. It wasn't what John said to me, it was how he said it, then tell the guys to stop, as if that was supposed to make me say oh no, please, don't stop, I'll pay the $130. It's a person's choice how they wants to run their business, however, this is not how you get a recommendation when you start the conversation in this manner. You can use the exact same words used on me but by using a different tone it will not cause the the customer to say, I'll finish it up myself. I'm giving 5 stars to the two moving loaders who were so professional. read more

DMV Best Movers lives up to their company name. The team was on time and dedicated to ensuring everything was packed and loaded within the set 3 hr time frame. I am still amazed they were able to pack everything into the truck. Very professional and respectful, I would recommend to anyone who needs some help moving, use DMV Best Movers. read more

This company has moved my family twice. Their hustle is unmatched. The group is professional and thoughtful. Good communication, clear expectations. They never slowed down and they didn't stop until every box was in its place. read more

Wound not recommend. Their truck wasn't big enough so had to make a two day move. They were uncommunicative. Missed the exit even though they were to follow me. The list goes on. Nice guys. Just not in the right business. read more

Probably owe thes guys like 5 reviews I use them always and everytime they provide great service. James and his crew are always professional, quick, very nice and perform with a smile. I will continue to be a repeat customer. read more

DMV Best Movers was fantastic for us. They arrived early, and quickly and efficiently completed the move, all at a rate far superior to competitors. I would highly recommend them to any and all, and will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Scheduled a move on the afternoon of the 31st of July. They never showed up. They didn't call, message me on here or anything. They helped a friend move and he had really great things to say about them. I don't know what happened, but this was my time off work to move and sell my house and hopefully I can get this sorted out with other movers. read more

Excellent rate, great personalities of movers, made sure things made it safely and quickly.

Good, professional guys at good rates. I would hire again. They showed up on time and moved everything without damage, and I appreciate that they wrapped the TV for me. read more

The owner, James, was responsive from the first time I contacted him. His communication about the process was thorough and moving day was just as smooth. Nobody enjoys moving day but James and his crew made us rethink it because they made our moving day easy. They wrapped and handled all our pieces with the utmost care. If we ever need a mover again- local or cross country, we'll call them first. No question!!! read more

Great experience with DMV Best Movers! I rented a truck to move me from SC to my new place in Columbia Heights, which is up 3.5 flights of stairs. Having moved just a few boxes from my car the week prior, I knew that furniture was going to be tough to maneuver. DMV Best gave me a decent quote for simple unloading services, and had friendly (albeit terse) communication throughout the process. The morning of, one of the movers called me to let me know he was on the way. I had ordered 2 movers for 2 hours, and at the specified time, only 1 had shown up. The other mover called James to let him know, and next thing I knew, I had 3 movers for the 2-mover price. They finished things in just under 2 hours and were super respectful and kind and professional the entire time. All of my stuff was moved without damage (or damaging the wall) and they even helped me assemble my dining room table, and a couple of chairs that I was planning on doing on my own. Would definitely recommend them to all my friends in the future! read more

These guys were incredible! They packed up my 3br house efficiently and quickly, and unloaded it just as well. They quoted me well below what any of the local competitors did as well. The guys were all very friendly, and took great care of my stuff. I highly recommend them! read more

So we booked for their service for around the end of May. Pros - they were fast replying the booking - movers seemed to know what they doing - flexible when asked about changing last minute appointments and did not charge any fee for it Cons - they did not finish their job very, I've only discovered that my bed are not properly screwed, some parts are missing which resulted in bad collapsed when I tried to move later. I am very disappointed and I wish it was something they could have told me if they couldn't put them back together and now I have to look for parts that are missing! - My apple tv also missing but I have not found out until much later due to my busy schedule. I have no intention accusing them because I haven't asked them for it as I mentioned I have not been looking for until much later. I believe that if they are seeing it somewhere in their truck then they should have let me know. They are the one that detached/uninstall my apple tv from my tv and I believed I put it one of the box that were opened at that time. You o this date I still couldn't find it and I did not know how we miss it! I give them benefit of a doubt here because I should be more responsible about it. - When I was setting up my initial appointment I was asked for three movers, then I rescheduled and I was not being told or inform that they will be only two. It makes the moving delayed and I wish we were told before that. read more

These are your guys if you're moving in Arlington, VA. I needed a little help moving to a new unit in my building last minute and requested quotes from all movers in my radius. Out of the 10 or so different companies I messaged, DMV Best was one of the first to respond and had best printing and flexibility. They were profession and responsive. Day of, they were early and did exactly what they said they would and in less time that budgeted. Should out DeAtlanta. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with a similar objective as mine. read more

Lets first talk about how last minute I needed movers when we realized that we had really heavy furniture that wouldn't all fit in the elevator. Yea, we thought we could do it ourselves and don't have much money to go crazy. We decided to disassemble some of the furniture and get a few quotes to see what we could do. These guys reached out to us first and within 5 minutes. I explained that all we needed was 3-4 pieces of furniture and they came in and did their magic. They came in, were careful with the wooden floor and helped take everything to our storage place. We needed to switch the times a little because of other jobs they had but it was worth it and they kept us in clear communication the entire time. We want to hire them again and will recommend to friends in the area too! read more

We have moved numerous times at Corporate expense. However, this time we're doing it ourselves. Thankfully, we found these guys who did a stellar job safely loading our trailer to tow to NC. My opinion? I'm going to get them again next month too load our final load down to NC. Great service, careful, great price and on time! I'm impressed! read more

DMV Best Movers - Movers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

read this before considering DMV "best movers" I really don't know what to say right now. They broke my desk, a large mirror, a under-drawer to my bed, and a large frame for a collectable poster. As well, they lost/misplaced an arm to my sectional couch. At first, we were in contact about replacing my items and reimbursing me for the damages. Which I would of been fine with, considering. It has been 20 days since my move and I have left multiple messages with no return of contact. I'm hoping this review will maybe encourage a call back. -- do NOT use this company-- I signed up to yelp just for this read more

Hire James and DMV Movers if you want the best rate and a company that earnestly stands by their commitments. I hired DMV Movers for a long-distance move from DC to Kentucky. I contacted dozens of moving agencies and he gave the best rate for a 1 bedroom move: no extra charges for driving time, walking distance to truck, moving up flights of stairs, or wrapping and dissembling furniture. As long as it fit in the cargo trailer, it was all-inclusive! Both James and Delante were friendly and quick with loading and unloading the truck. I budgeted for 3 hrs when we arrived in Kentucky and it was done in less than 1 hr! We did run into an issue where the mattress was damaged during the move (we had a lot of stuff so it was pretty jammed in there). I called James and he reassured me he would make it right, which he did! James handled the issue professionally and quickly - it was resolved within 2 days. I would recommend DMV Best Movers whole-heartedly for a move. read more

U had inquire about junk removal, they gave me a flat rate $200. Never told me how they were going to remove it off my property. Then after asking "if they're serous" they said they can come today around noon, then noon became 3:15pm then it became after 5pm and guess what they never showed up. Very un professional. read more

I can't sing their praises high enough. I needed three items moved from my two story condo to my ranch style house and got a quick response with no BS. Others quoted me ridiculous rates, didn't even read my message. I didn't need a team of packers and boxes, I only needed three items moved to my new place seven miles away. DMV Best Movers lived up to their name and did exactly that. They were ten minutes early, wrapped my belongings carefully and took it to my place in less than an hour. They were polite and professional. I will most definitely use them again. Highly recommend. read more

I was very happy with the service I received from DMV Best Movers. Jimmy was very responsive and was accommodating on the additional stop needed with my job as well as available and able to quote and confirm quickly. He and his crew were on time, hard working, easy going and reasonably priced. I would definitely hire them again and would recommend them to others looking for moving assistance in the area. read more

This is my second move with DMV Best Movers and I have been pleased with both experiences! This time, we moved from two apartments into one and DMV Best Movers (Ken and James) made the process as smooth as possible! They work very quickly and are able to stay so kind and positive despite the DC heat/humidity, unplanned road work, and an unexpected broken elevator for the move into the 4th floor of the new apartment! Furthermore, they were upfront and transparent about a tricky item that got slightly damaged during the move, and they offered a price adjustment right away. The folks from DMV Best Movers were very responsive via text, and the prices are so reasonable. I will use for all future moves in the area! Thank you! read more

used the guys to move from DC to Bethesda and couldn't speak highly enough of them. they are incredibly experienced, professional, and work very hard. the move would likely have taken double the time with a crew who didn't work as hard. they were also very pleasant to be around and made what could have been a stressful day a good humored one. I'll recommend them to all of my friends who are moving and would hire them again in a heartbeat read more

DMV Best Movers was great! They were very fast and responsive and great about answering all of our pre-move questions. On the day of the move, the crew was friendly, efficient, and fast. Would 100% hire them again! read more

DMV Best Movers did a great job with my move. They arrived on time, were efficient, very polite and personable, and moved my belongings carefully. I have to especially applaud them for moving a fully assembled glass cabinet that I have had to disassemble in previous moves. Excellent job guys! read more

Not great. The total cost came out to be about 1/3 (or $200) more than the quote they provided. They "brought" another mover along and said it saves money because they can move faster and asked if I was ok with being charged per hour -- I agreed. The 3 movers were all nice hard working guys, but they just didn't have any actual moving/packing skills. Oddly enough my neighbor was moving at the exact same time and his team of 2 movers did it a lot faster than us and had a smaller truck. Things broken/damaged: - couple plates - couples wines glasses - filing cabinet - lamp - couch had big mark on it, from something far too heavy being on in it the truck One of the movers piled 4 boxes on top a dresser which was on a moving dolly. He put a box marked as "FRAGILE" on the very top. He couldn't see where he was going and hit something, causing the fragile box to fall from about 6 feet. It's actually shocking everything in it didn't break. Just 4 or 5 plates and a few wine glasses. He was completely dumbfounded how this could have happened. My dad had to point out that the distance he was going wasn't very far and with how long it took him to balance everything on the dolly, he could have carried it all individually and it would have been faster. They weren't very good at packing the truck. If it wasn't for my parents bringing a large SUV and my dad and I filling up our cars, it never would have fit in 1 trip. The only time I actually yelled was when we got to my brand new house. The movers were trying to go so fast that they were literally banging stuff into the walls. I asked them to be careful and then the next minute the lead guy is carrying 2 chairs and banged into 2 different walls. I yelled and they were more careful after that. If you're a college kid or your furniture wasn't very expensive, then maybe I would recommend. If you have things that were expensive or you really like, don't use them. They were the "cheap option" that ended up not being that cheap. read more

these guys were polite and worked super hard in very hot weather! never complained; very professional. no complaints! I highly recommend them and would use them again! very fair price too! read more

James and Taj were fast and professional! They called ahead to let us know they were going to be just a few minutes late which I appreciated. They came ready to work and packed everything so well. Will definitely call James for future moves!! read more

James and his team are the BEST!!! They moved me with a 2 day notice. My move was crazy, but they managed to keep cool and help me out with the public storage dilemma, the rain, and slippery conditions. They were awesome! Very fast and professional, will be using them with my fiancé's move from Baltimore very soon! Thanks guys!! read more

Had a very smooth and easy move and very glad I hired DMV Best Movers after a friend had recommended them. Both movers were very nice, professional and efficient! read more

I have moved several times in my life but this was by far the most extraordinary moving experience that I have had. The three gentlemen that loaded my items on the truck were extremely courteous and their customer service skills were top-notch. During the process, I always felt that every item that they touched was handled as if they owned it! James is the best and helpful and every aspect,Thank you so much DMV best you guys rock read more

I tipped well as they made sure to take care in wrapping my bedroom set as requested but I can't deny the undertone of misogyny in my conversations with the lead mover James who introduced himself to me as "John", yet neither are his real name. When we arrived at my new landings which I shared were short term that I am sharing with roommates as I prepare to buy my house. He began to share critical points of view on neighborhoods where homes all look the same and are right on top of one another. I spoke on how much I love my neighborhood here in Kingstowne, Alexandria and he questioned that as if he was unimpressed. Then went on to speak about his own "aspirations" to buy a home (in PG County Maryland no less) with an air of superiority in taste as opposed to it being conversational. In hindsight, I should have checked his attitude on the spot but didn't want the confrontation because I saw right through him and knew it wasn't worth it. I only wanted my stuff handled with care and set up right which is what I got but not without a side of slick talk and resentment based on the difference in social class between us. I also believe the SUV I drive played a part in his attitude because it is newer and a higher luxury brand than his. Throughout the experience, the other guy was unusually quiet but I respect that. It seems to me that "John" might have a problem with controlling his mouth and rubbing women the wrong way. read more

My moving day got off to a rough start! My car alarm went off and I had to deal with that issue. James and his guys jumped right in and got me moved less than 3 hours! Here's is the cherry on top, I was totally exhausted and overpaid by $100, James could have easily walked off with my money. However, he brought me back my cash and that is why he gets 5 stars! This is my 1st time using this service, but I am not disappointed and highly recommend! Honest Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I hired DMV Best Movers for help loading my belongings from my 1-bedroom apartment in Arlington into a loading truck. The crew arrived exactly on time, brought the right equipment, and were flexible when we were delayed in getting the truck pulled into the loading dock. Once they started working they were highly efficient in their work, finishing the loading with a 2-person team in less than 2 hours. Especially given how affordable the service was, I was extremely pleased with the work and would certainly hire them again. read more

Do not use them. They were extremely unprofessional. They damaged several pieces of my furniture and left without completing the job. They also promised to come back the following day and never showed up. And, they were supposed to refund my money, which never happened. Worst movers ever! BEWARE. read more
