I submitted the claim for the 60 cents per pound like a week ago or so, then left the last review. I just got a call from Eugene, the owner of the business. It was pretty pleasant overall. He apologized for all the inconvenience and gave some of the reasoning as to why the delay had happened, all of which was fair. He addressed more of my concerns in my original review. From what I understood, the carriers are third-party, so they can't really control delays. He understood my frustration about the refund being only about $24 and asked how much would I think is fair. I said $200. He said that's completely fair and ended up zelling me the money right after the phone call. Obviously the move itself was a bit frustrating, but this I think more than made up for it and it was super validating feeling like he understood where I was coming from. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the conversation and the resolution. read more

I recently booked them for a quick move. Dago and Bladimir were amazing and adapted quick to some furniture space issues. They were extremely kind and asked where I'd like everything to go. Even going as far as to set up my bed. read more

Oscar and Zach were great! Highly recommend! They showed up on time. Efficient with the move and careful.

We enjoyed their service with moving. I loved the lady I worked with and she took notes, listened to my needs and communicated the expectations and the movers were efficient, came with all necessary tools and were professional. I didn't need to worry about anything and had a great chat with a few of the movers while packing. I'd recommend their service! read more

I worked with Yuriy to coordinate the details of our move from VA to NC. He was very personable, helpful, and responsive. Moving is one of the most stressful things people experience. Especially when it's another state. He made the process seamless and handled any questions or concerns I had in a timely manner. We opted for the movers to pack our things. The movers were on time and worked diligently to pack everything. They labeled everything by room which made it easy for me to unpack and find what I needed once everything arrived. I called several moving companies and pricing was very fair. I highly recommend using them for your next move. read more

Oscar and Zach were fast, efficient, respectful, and polite. My furniture and boxes were moved quickly and without blemish. I highly recommend. They were not the cheapest or fastest, but they were the best read more

Excellent service; wonderful communication. These guys give the moving industry a welcome reputable company. Thank you!

The guys were pleasant, professional and quick; I'd hire this group again down the road.

This review is overdue but I can't recommend this moving company enough. The service was EXCELLENT! We received a call back from an inquiry instantly. Set up for the move was super easy and on the day of- they were ON TIME (which I've never experienced after moving 5+ times throughout the DMV with numerous moving companies). Oscar and his coworker worked so fast and efficiently that we were way ahead of schedule. I can't recommend this company enough. Worth every penny for the peace of mind, professionalism, and care you receive. read more

I used Global Moving Systems for a local move and I was very happy with my choice. The person I spoke with to book the move, Yurily, was very professional and provided good communication. On the day of the move, the crew phoned about an hour or so before they arrived and arrived on time. The crew was very polite, organized and efficient as wasted no time getting started. Apart from a few scratches on a couple pieces of furniture, they did a great job. Only negative- the job was priced with a four hour minimum, but the crew was done in just over two some of which accounts for travel time which is baked into the job. I would use this company again for a future move. read more

Oscar and team have moved for me twice. I was very satisfied this move, as well as with the first with Diego and Oscar. They were super pleasant and adaptable to my situation which was kind of scattered on my part the first time. Pricing was transparent and allowed me to check my understanding as we went along. No surprises. Was also able to book my second move with the help of Yuri, on very short notice, just a few days. I will choose them again! Thank you all read more

Needed to move from one storage unit to another unit 5 miles away. Called Friday and was able to get 4 guys to come Saturday morning. They showed up early and worked efficiently to load and unload all my stuff into my new store unit within 3 hours. I was very happy with the team. There was a mistake on the quote which resulted in a dispute on the minimum of number of hours charged. They did the right thing and resolved the matter to process my refund. read more

Very professional service - went halfway across the country and not a thing broke. Oscar was great the whole time and Yuri answered all our questions. Spent a lot of time looking at different moving services and this is by far the best I found. read more

Very professional and efficient . Would highly recommend. Diego and his man were on point the whole time. Very disappointed though some of our stuff has oily stains and was missing an important part of our furniture. Our phone calls to office and text sent to crew member went unanswered and not returned. read more

Oscar was wonderful, if it weren't for him I would be very uncertain about this company. We had a long distance move, four random hired hands ( not employees) showed up to our home to load ( they did a great job). We were told that there may be people to help in the next state or there may not be, it could just be Oscar unloading the 26' truck himself. Seems like they pulled two guys off the street to help unload. They were clearly not as experienced as the first guys were, nor arrived dressed like they were ready to unload a truck. The one said he twisted his ankle but also had unlaced loose tennis shoes on... They go off hoping they can find someone in the next state to unload the truck with them. When reserving with Yuriy he said there would be three guys loading, traveling and unloading. That's not the case. But it's what he sold the cost of it all on, he said they were barely making money from the move by the time the three guys traveled and stayed for possibly up to two nights- three total day move. I had another quote at $4500 but Yuiry said there would be no way because of the above mentioned reason. Not the case at all. The move took two days, one night stay. Yuriy was meh, he's a sales guy so that's expected. The move was $6K, I hope they compensated Oscar fairly for all the work he did. I'm only doing this review because Oscar was really great to work with. The company's process seemed sketchy. read more

I requested moving quotes through Yelp. I got flooded with responses right away. Yuri from GMS was very persistent in trying to earn my business. I'm guessing he's a sales guy because he was a little too persistent for my personality. However, I ended up hiring GMS. The crew arrived on time and worked diligently all day. The job turned out to be a little bigger than estimated which caused the crew to exceed the estimated time of completion. That resulted in a higher bill at the end but it was understandable. They did good work and were very professional. read more

Got in and out real quick. They moved some furniture over we couldn't manage to on our own. Price was very affordable for the service given. I thought it would take longer but the crew were amazing. Two guys who were respectful with our furniture and worked efficiently. Thank you guys so much for working with us read more

It was great! They arrived on time. They were careful and respectful. I would definitely recommend this company. The price was reasonable. Thanks guys! read more

I have to give it to Global Moving Systems! The owner truly stood by what he said he was going to do in his reply to my initial review and my final move from VA back to NJ was truly SEAMLESS! Dago, David & Edwin are THE BEST movers I've ever worked with and truly took care in packing, transporting and delivering my goods all while remaining super friendly and efficient. I now can say that I highly recommend using Global Moving Systems for all your moving needs! read more

José and Oscar did a fantastic job with the move. They were efficient moved everything with care. This is the second time I've used their company and very satisfied. read more

Very efficient even in a busy apartment, Oscar was very helpful, everything was very smooth and easy! We had a lot of heavy items yet they all arrived at our destination quickly and safely. read more

We had a great experience with our move on Saturday. The movers were on time and immediately jumped in to start loading our things on to the truck. They were polite, careful with our furniture and boxes, and worked without stopping even though the heat index was near 100 degrees. Can't be happier with our experience. If I could give our movers six stars out of 5, I would! Joanne M. read more

Moving is incredibly stressful. The folks at this company did everything they could to reduce that stress, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Evgeny organized things, but Dago and his crew were the stars of the show. They were on time, great at communication, and boy did they hustle! In addition, they took great care with some of my treasures. Dago even went above and beyond by repairing something that was broken before they arrived! Not only were they excellent movers and really hard workers, they were incredibly nice and cheerful, despite hot weather and lots of stairs. They finished ahead of schedule and under the quoted price. They're the best movers I've ever hired. You should hire them too! read more

Great work completed/highly recommended their services/Quite informative and considerate of the moving process

That tab on the Yelp app, the one between Search and Me, that says Projects? I used it to find a moving company for a move out of state. You enter in your details, date of move, inventory, etc., and Yelp sends out messages on your behalf. Almost instantaneously you'll start to receive answers to your inquiry. First I went by availability-- this had to happen within a week, on a particular day. Then I checked Yelp reviews, and one mover called me -- I spoke to them, they provided a quote, I checked their reviews, and voila -- we had a match. That's why I'm leaving a review on Global Moving Systems. They had excellent communication throughout the process -- timely call and quote, reminders before, the day prior, and the team called me early in the day of moving. They moved me out, drove to the new location out of state, unloaded, and we were in and done in a little over two hours. The movers were friendly and efficient. There was one slight snafu that I'll bring up to the company but it won't affect my review here. The Yelp Project tab helped me and it was easy. Yelp also has a guarantee that provides up to $2500 if a project becomes a problem. This worked out for me. Moving on! read more

Evgeny was great to work with. Answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly. Dago and Jose showed up to move us. Those guys are cool. Funny, charming and hardworking. When things with wrong with our storage unit (Don't ever use Public Storage) they took it in stride. Good value for the money. read more

I move every 2 years and this crew was the best movers I have had in 20+ years. The best of the best. Thank you so much. read more

I hired Global Moving Systems to help me move from Columbia Heights to Shaw, both in DC. I found them to be exceptionally slow/expensive (considering they charge hourly), and they didn't reassemble my bedframe correctly. I have used two other moving companies in the past (one DC-based) and found Global Moving Systems to be unusually expensive. This is because they only sent a crew of two to move my stuff, compared to the three or four I've had from other companies, and the crew did not move fast considering they are professional movers. To be specific, compared to another company in DC, they were approximately $400 more expensive because other companies that also charge by the hour have been faster at moving my things and they have sent more people. I'd like to be as transparent and factual as possible, so here's all the details about my move- It started with them arriving at the wrong address, which was fine because they didn't start the clock for charging me until they finally arrived within the two-hour window that they had described. I had all of my stuff packed in boxes (a normal number of boxes for one person in an apartment) and asked them also to move a tall wardrobe, my bedframe and mattress, a big desk, an office chair, and a three-person couch. I told them all of this to get the quote. I moved from an apartment on the third floor to an apartment on the second and third floor. I did not have any elevators, which does contribute to the total time (i told them about this beforehand too), and the three person couch was difficult to get into a room, which I'm not docking them for. I am, however, docking them for reassembling my very basic bed incorrectly, which I was able to fix with socket wrenches myself. I had to disassemble the entire bed to fix it. It's still not what I would expect from a professional, because my entire bed was on a slant and it was an obvious error. Finally, despite confirming the address of my second apartment with them, they still showed up to the wrong second address (two wrong addresses in a row), and took an additional 15-20 minutes to arrive at the correct location. The entire move took five hours and over $750, when the original three-hour quote was $412.50. I also helped move boxes once they arrived at my second apartment, which sped up the process. I've had other DC movers charge approximately $300 less, and they were able to put together my furniture correctly. Also, Global Moving Systems does not have a way for you to leave a complaint/feedback. If you call, they'll refer you to their broken object form, which was not applicable to my case. They also told me they never get complaints about the pace of the move, but that i could include that information in the form, which is not actually possible. If you try to leave anything but a five star review on their website you can't. I do want to say i appreciated the hard work the two people completed on a hot day. They were nice and clearly worked hard. However, it seemed like they needed more support and more experience with moves. read more

Dago and his crew were fast, professional, and friendly. Can't recommend them highly enough!

I highly recommend this company. They were professsional and responsive from beginning to end. No surprise costs. They arrived on time on both ends, read more

Oscar and crew were fantastic. They were efficient. They wrapped tvs and other breakables and took the time to remove my lightbulbs (I forgot). Nothing was broken. They wrapped up quickly. The costs were better than expected and my relatives stated that they were more reasonable than the movers who moved from one ode of silver spring to the other. read more

Dago and Jose were great and extremely helpful. The move was completely smooth with no issue whatsoever. I'd recommend everyone to make use of their services for any future moves, and the move was value for money as well. read more

Edward and Chris were amazing. The packed up my stuff in about an hour, safely, efficiently, politely. Nothing is missing or busted, they did what I asked and kept asking to make sure we were all on the same page and we didn't accidently steal my former roomies, stuff. Absolutely fantastic. read more

The movers I had were super fast and careful with the furniture and boxes (moving my furniture up and down my 3 flights of stairs and maneuvering through the doors! ) Very fair price and they managed to finish ahead of schedule! Will recommend them to anyone needing moving services! read more

I'm incredibly happy with the service I got today! Oscar and Ivan got all my furniture moved to the new apartment in 3.5 hours, with no issues, and including taking apart my bedframe and computer desk and putting them back together later. Quite happy with the pricing too, as it was important I didn't break the bank on this. Highly recommend this company for moving needs! read more

Rating based solely on pricing consultation not on moving services. I received a price quote from the company and when I called to reconfirm my price a few weeks later, I was quoted a price that was almost twice as much. While I did add a few things to my list of items to be moved, I was surprised the price had risen so much. Would recommend that others ensure the company has an accurate list of their belongings to be moved to avoid the same thing happening. read more

Jose and David did a great job. They knew early in the day that they'd arrive early to our job so they called in advance to let me know. They were professional and considerate of our belongings and clearly communicated any additional items or services that would become an extra charge. Jose also showed me the route he'd take from the first address to the second address. I'd hire them again! read more

Dago and his crew moved us from the DC area to Maine, and they were fantastic. And a great value as well.
