    More broken bins

    I had a large move that included 4 different stops...and this review is rather long.. But I wanted everybody to know exactly what this company did to me and my belongings with zero response from management. I labeled everything that was to go to storage and everything else was to go inside my new home. We started at my old storage facility, at this point the main movers was very nice and thanked me for going over everything and labeling everything. Then on to my apt.. This is where things start to go south. Instead of taking my reclining couch apart properly, the little mover-I can't tell you his name because nobody introduced themselves started to flip it on its side and started to push it with all of his might.I let him know that all you had to do was pull the top off part off, came apart in four different sections, he shushed me and continued to roll my couch in all different crazy directions until he finally realized that all you had to do was pull the top off While at the apt they broke an antique tray, when I asked about it, the little guy said "not me and shrugged it off. Still at the apt the main guy came in with papusas.. 3rd stop- This is where it all went downhill. As they came in, I noticed, the bins were broken again, claiming they didn't do it. The head guy said "it's a five dollar bin, im not going to argue over a 5 dollar bin, file a complaint you have 5 day". No one was arguing about it, I simply stated that they broke my bin. About 2 hours into stop 2 of the move the main guy came to me and let me know that everything from the apt was in and suggested that we take the rest to storage because my new place was getting too crowded. I agreed assuming that the furniture that we had specifically talked about from the first stop had already been taken inside. My uncle suggested to look in the truck to make sure everything I wanted had been taken in. When I got in the truck I was shocked and understood why many of my bins were broken.. they had everything piled and stacked crazy, breakable things with bookshelves on top bins upside down. And lots of furniture that was supposed to be in my new home, both stuff from my apt and storage was still in the truck. When I pointed out that things were still on the truck that were supposed to be in the house, the main guy told me they can't be bringing things in and out. I said nobody had to bring them in and out, just bring in the things that we had discussed were to be brought in to the new place. I started pointing several items that I saw right away. He cut me off and said, "we're at the point now that if you want anything other than those three things moved, we're going to leave everything here because I cant have my guys doing this, now get out of the truck you're not supposed to be in here.". ***I have all of this recorded by the way just incase Helix, management actually cares about what their movers are putting their clients through and how rude they are***I was shocked and tried to call and text my point of contact/ sales guy Mike but never got a response. After they brought those three things in they left. they drove past me while I was unloading the items I had in my car. 4th stop- as they were unloading, I pointed out the things that needed to go back to my place and asked them to put it in my car, my car was full in less than 15 min. I said something to the head guy about how my car was already full with things that were supposed to go to my new place. He complained about the time and i told him he got paid by the hour and he said "you're the only customer that has ever complained about a broken bin". I told him I felt like he was being disrespectful. He said, "even you're uncle apologized for your behavior" (my uncle was playing good cop bad cop and trying to hurry them up). I said "and", he said "that proves this is you and not us, your own blood said that". At that point I couldn't take anymore... they damaged the concrete of the storage facility floor. My dresser that is thousands of dollars had papusa sauce on it! They must have eaten their lunch on my dresser!! They damaged the staircase of my new place so badly paint was scraped off. They damaged most of my furniture and the storage facility's floor and they refuse to unload what they were supposed to at the third stop. I emailed the manager Mike the following day, but never heard anything from him.

    Helix is top notch! Trust me...don't get tricked by other companies because you'll get what you pay for - I learned this the hard way. I recently moved again to be closer to work and was solicited by a company called Clutter. The experience was a nightmare and they left me in a bind just days before my move. I called Peter at Helix and by the end of our call he had me set up to move and not only completely took care of everything but he did it for $160 less than Clutter with their discount. I am mad at myself for not going to Helix initially. I knew better. Helix is 100% customer centric, professional, and they treat your belongings like their own. Call or email Masha at (301) 637-3003 or sales@helixmove.com. You will not regret your decision. Best moving company in the area!

    Very very disappointed. My experience was very very bad. Movers just dumped the boxes and furniture in my living room. They did not assemble the furniture. Broke a lot of my stuff. The movers cussed at me and threatened me when I asked them to take the furniture upstairs. They started extorting too asking for more money. Floor was also damaged. Would never recommend them.

    I have absolutely no complaints about my moving process. Here & Now movers is now a company I will…read morerefer to friends and family. I want to thank them from start to finish. Scheduling this company and receiving a quote that was SPOT on, was amazing. The communication from Ana was perfect. She kept me in the loop about arrival time, send out a confirmation about my booking, and even helped me change my original date to something sooner. Originally, I was quoted a timeframe between 1-5pm, they showed up an hour EARLIER! To some this may have been the part where you panic, especially if you are running small items back and forth to your new place, to me?? This was PERFECT, because I was able to have a headstart for my long moving day. The truck was large enough, both movers came in and were polite, patient, and did not make me feel uncomfortable when handling my items. They wrapped all dressers, tv stands, coffee tables, and TVs and ensured everything was delivered carefully. No frills, no stalling for extra time (you do get charged hourly if you exceed your allowed time), and just straight to business. All in all, I do recommend booking for your next move, the price is unbeatable and the workers are great. Once again thank you very much!

First, allow me to express my gratitude to this amazing company and their professional staff. The team consisted of four movers who, upon arrival, walked through the premises to fully understand the scope of the job before getting started. They listened carefully and worked with precision and determination to ensure our move went smoothly. Every member of the team treated us with respect and inspired confidence in their work. They didn't allow me to lift a single thing -- not even a trash bag I had put together. I am so impressed that I can't wait to tell my friends, and I'm sure my husband will be recommending them to his coworkers as well. The movers even offered helpful advice on furniture placement, which made perfect sense after careful consideration. We have purchased our forever home, but if you are looking for a reliable, affordable, and professional moving crew, I highly recommend giving EZ Moving and Storage a call. Mr. Petro reviewed my inventory list, calculated the distance from point A to point B, and provided a more-than-fair quote with no added charges. The price he quoted was exactly what we paid. None of our items were damaged. In fact, they assembled our beds better than the company we purchased them from! I apologize for the length of this review, but that reflects just how pleased we are with this company. Job well done, and thank you for helping make our house feel like home. Sincerely, Daniel and Sharon Ricketts

    It had been a very long time since I last moved and the last company was all booked up on the date…read moreI was looking for assistance. So after receiving a few quotes from a handful of businesses, I went with Potomac Moving due to the speed of their response, clarity in communication, pricing and overall warmth and professionalism. In our first phone call to walk though my needs, they were very assuring and accommodating, which is a such a relief in the midst of stress and coordination that comes with planning for a move. They were also always very responsive in the few times that I reached out between the time I paid the deposit and the actual move. A night or two before, I sent at email regarding wardrobe boxes, since I was debating whether or not I should buy and have a few delivered to me. The owner responded quickly, assuring me that wardrobe boxes were tried, true and if I wanted to buy any directly from them that I could. That ended up being a great call, because they were able to properly enforce the boxes so that even the boxes filled with my heaviest coats remained in tact. On the day of the move, the movers were communicative regarding their arrival time. They were also very nice and hard working. I had a few large furniture items that needed to be disassembled and they ended up being quite beasts to tackle. But they worked diligently to break them down. Once it came time to move things to my new place, that was a breeze. One gesture that I thought was just so classy, was the owner called in the middle of the move to check-in on how things were going - I really appreciated that. Overall, would definitely recommend PMC - they're easy to work with, fair and transparent about pricing and you're sure to be met with professionalism!

It was Bookstore Movers' excellent customer service that earns them 5 stars. The 3 movers showed up early and worked very quickly and efficiently.

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.

    We were disappointed with our recent experience with Bookstore Movers. The crew was polite, but the…read moremove felt much slower and less efficient than it should have been. We had a dedicated elevator, yet workers often brought items down only one or two at a time. I also saw team members on their phones or standing around in rooms and hallways instead of actively moving things. These delays added up quickly. The crew also misplaced parts of our bed frame, and the pieces had to be found before it could be reassembled. That alone added nearly an hour to the move. Because the move took much longer than expected, the final cost was significantly higher than the estimate we received. We were also charged based on an arrival time that was recorded as ten minutes earlier than when the crew actually arrived. The team was courteous, but given the inefficiency, added time, and higher final price, we would not use Bookstore Movers again. This is unfortunate, because we had been happy with them in previous moves.

I am extremely happy with the results and will definitely be using and recommending them to friends and family in the future. Thank you Carlos and Jonathan for your help! Overall, my move was a little over $800 (took about 5 hours with 2 movers for a local move from a 3-story townhome to a 2-story condo ) and I gave a generous tip considering the amount of work they did.

Even before moving day, the office team was great to work with. They easily accommodated my request to change to an earlier moving date with no issues or concern, and Serena's call‑back and confirmation were timely and professional. On moving day, the crew arrived looking uniform and professional in company t‑shirts, and even their truck felt refreshingly understated - no over‑the‑top "we are moving" advertising, just a clean, confident presence. Our inventory was not light: an upright piano, riding mower, granite table tops, and heavy bedroom dressers. Pricing was fair and reasonable for the amount and weight of what we moved. Carlos, Donald, and Aaron (spelling?) wrapped our items with real diligence and care. They were respectful, informative, and even took the time to show us things we didn't know about our own furniture - like how to disconnect a recliner for easier transport. Their combination of shrink wrap and fabric blanket on every piece (except the mowers) was a master class in swaddling our "babies." The team worked within their estimate, stayed pleasant in the hot weather, and delivered truly professional moving services from start to finish. Plus, Bulldog's website is appealing and the online service request process was easy to use. We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend Bulldog Movers to anyone looking for a careful, courteous, and professional moving company.

They were flexible with us as we had to reschedule due to weather, and had several complicated moves that were handled very well.

It wasn't intentional, but the amount of damage we saw was much more than what I would have been okay with. The furniture and location was difficult however given that everything made it to where they needed to be, I'm sure it could have been done much more carefully. That made this pretty mid tier service. So 3 stars. And that's what we initially put in our review. But then after putting in our claim on damages with ample proof of damages, and also our honest review, my wife received a call from one of the movers asking us to take down the poor review because they would get in trouble with the owners. Now I'm wondering goes on behind the scenes because the good reviews seems much more shady now. How many other reviews got asked to be taken down? They got the move done and did it relatively quick given the difficulty. The price was rather high given the quality of work completed. And given how quick they were to request us to take a poor review down to me deserves an even poorer review. Honestly, if they had taken accountability right away to the damages I would have felt better about a simple 3 star review. I can't in good conscience recommend Zip Moving and Storage.
