It was Bookstore Movers' excellent customer service that earns them 5 stars. The 3 movers showed up early and worked very quickly and efficiently. In that haste, some items were damaged and I offered that feedback in the follow-up survey. I quickly received a call from the company offering to discount my move and send Walter Davies, a furniture repair person, out to make furniture repairs. That concern for customers and making things right earns Bookstore Movers 5-star service. Walter Davies was excellent and thorough in repairing my furniture. If you have a move coming up, call Bookstore Movers. Lisa C.

I had put a post on reddit asking for suggestions for movers in the area and Bookstore Movers was…read morerecommended by almost every person who responded. Patrick and his crew, Renaldo, Nitua, Gerand and Kevin, exceeded the already high expectations I had based upon the reviews. I will happily recommend Bookstore to family and friends and will never use another moving company. Their strength, kindness, commitment and pride in their job and the company, organization, efficiency as a crew (this was amazing to watch- they just flowed as a team of 5 and Patrick was an excellent leader!), was consitent and apparent throughout the entire time they spent with us. I really can't say enough good things about the experience and hope to work with them again when we hopefully buy a place and move in the next couple of years. The price was also incredibly fair, worth every penny for their first-rate and professional work and incredibly pleasant dispositions, just a really great group of guys!

I cannot believe what I just witnessed. I signed a month-to-month lease 4 months ago for a small…read moreunit with a monthly fee of $34. I just got an email stating that my monthly rate is increasing to $52 dollars per month starting in 30 days. That's over a 50% increase now that my belongings are in the unit, it's absurd and should be illegal. I chatted with Customer Service and they just keep quoting section 2.2 of the contract, which says they can change prices. No matter how you cut it, it's predatory marketing, aimed at getting someone into a unit and trapping them with a higher price and then auctioning off their stuff on Bravo when they can't pay the new fees. Better Business Bureau, here I come, this is a despicable business practice, shame on these guys.

(My only criticism with corporate. The company will not allow for other forms of communication outside of email. I believe to give TRUE customer service, you meet the customer where they are. That is no reflection on employees but corporate policies.)

My experience at this particular storage was amazingly easy and the service was fantastic. In…read moreDecember I wanted to put some items in storage at the Public Storage location on Bladensburg Road, which was less than a mile from my house. When I arrived they tried to up-sell me on everything including storage insurance despite the fact that my homeowner insurance covered storage. I decided not to store there. Realizing I really needed a storage unit, I chose the 3005 Kenilworth location. What a difference in service!! Brittany was a sweetheart. She was super friendly and very accommodating. She did not insist I buy their storage insurance. All I had to do was have my insurance fax them a copy of my policy and all was taken care of. The difference in service between the Bladensburg and Kenilworth locations were day and night. Thank you, Brittany!!

Mouse fecal matter and urine was on a good part of my things that had to be thrown away. CubeSmart has mandatory storage insurance that's added on to your bill from their selected insurance company but they don't tell you that it does not cover rodent damage. I also had some water damage of my items from the ceiling of the unit, which was covered by their insurance thank God! There was also damage to the bottom of the door that leads to my unit that makes it easy for rodents to enter that was never repaired. This location never returned any of my calls after I tried to reach out to them and closed my account before my month was ended. When I filled a Better Business Bureau complaint I found out that they had hundreds of complaints to this location already placed. I only received a response from them after I filed a complaint with the State of Maryland Attorney General's Office. I rate them a D- because of the list I endured and the continued suffering I caused from bringing mice in my new house from some of the items. Get rid of your rodent problem and fix any door damages that leads to the unit that makes it easy for mice to get in. As for potential customers beware!

PRICE GOUGING! The facility is nice and they have great prices, BUT, those prices are not…read moreguaranteed. They reserve the right to raise prices as much as they want and when they see fit. All they have to do is provide you with a 30 day notice, as if you could do anything about it. As an example, we rented our storage unit one year ago at a rate of $99. Within 6 months they raised it to $178. Just received a new bill (with no 30 day notice) that they increased it to $206. Such as dishonest approach. I've rented with other extraspace locations such as the one in DC on Taylor Street and never faced this issue. Avoid at all costs so you don't get stuck paying to move your stuff in 6 or 12 months to another location.

Grasshopper Movers is HANDS DOWN the best moving company I've worked with. Maybe because they are local and small, or maybe because they're just committed to providing the best service possible. EVERY single person I dealt with at Grasshopper has been customer focused and professional. They are clearly a company that is focused on meeting customer needs versus up-selling or lengthening the process. I would have even considered myself a not ideal client in that I contacted Grasshopper last minute and used them for storage far longer than anticipated AND asked for delivery and received it within 2 days of the request (meaning they didn't get to milk more money out of us just because they could.). DC is filled with lots of competition and these folks are just old fashioned in their approach - they have pride in their work. Finally, they also had the best price based on my extensive research (which I do professionally). If only they provided services outside of moving and storage - housekeeping? mobile phone service? Wifi & cable TV? OK, now I jest, but you get my point. Call them and sleep well. (FYI: I rarely write these because I seem to not have time, but I was motivated because of how awesome they all were to me - it's the least I could do.)
