I wouldn't even give this company 1 star if I had the option to. I wish I was exaggerating with this review, but I have never in my life dealt with such a poor, unprofessional, unacceptable experience and I could not make this up if I tried! I wish I could get at least a portion of my money back for damage done to my belongings and major inconvenience during the scheduling of my furniture and boxes being delivered. My move was from Maryland to Colorado. I am an extremely polite, accommodating and reasonable person (too accommodating sometimes) and I feel that these men took complete advantage of me and disrespected my validity as a paying customer. I was told by Erick and his assistant mover that my belongings would arrive at my residence in Colorado 21 days from the time that they left Maryland and that they would contact me 5 days prior to schedule a time to deliver, unpack, and put together my furniture. I was contacted by Erick on a Sunday at 5:30pm that he would be delivering between 3-6pm the next day, Monday, or between 8-10am Tuesday, but he didn't know yet and he would let me know at 12pm the following day, Monday. He didn't give me a choice, it just depended on how much driving he wanted to complete in his own time frame. This was not anywhere close to what I was told upon scheduling prior to the move. I have a job with strict set hours, so I was not available during either of those times. I asked politely about a possible delivery on Wednesday. He said no. I jumped through hoops to get someone to cover my work shift on Tuesday morning. I gave clear instructions prior to the delivery that they should have had documentation of, and during the delivery on which boxes and furniture needed to go into my home and which items needed to go into my garage, a VERY short distance from my front entrance. The items were even labeled clearly. Erick and his assistant were both unwilling at first to take the items to my garage, but eventually agreed in a snarly, unprofessional manner. When I saw the brand new Hefty moving boxes that I bought for this move and other heavy-duty plastic moving boxes that I so carefully packed up with my items, my jaw dropped. They were damaged: bottoms cracked and broken, sides of the bins bent in, lids caved in, etc. Just destroyed and 100% unacceptable. On top of that, all 3 cardboard moving boxes that I packed for the move had huge gashes/holes in them. A few of my belongings were broken inside of the boxes. Most of my belongings were packed tightly and securely with bubble wrap by me that I, luckily, was able to salvage most things. Prior to Erick and his assistant entering my home, I asked them to please be careful with my floors, as they are brand new. I believe that this should go without saying when a moving company is delivering belongings, as I know of tips and techniques that movers have used in a professional effort to not damage the homes they are working in. When Erick and his assistant moved boxes and my furniture into my brand new home, they did it with such tremendous carelessness that they scratched my brand new floors severely, and even put a gash in one of the floor panels. They pushed and slid the boxes and heavy items from my front entrance across the floor down the hallway into an unorganized pile in my living room without a moving blanket underneath, even after asking them to place certain items in other rooms. They carelessly unwrapped SOME of the furniture with the blankets and cushioning that they used to pack it up before placing it on the moving truck, but left some still wrapped, leaving it for me to take care of myself. When they were finished unwrapping the small portion of furniture that they did, they were quick to leave. It was agreed upon during the quote consultation that they would be putting together my metal bed frame (which was also scratched from them being careless), so I followed them out to ask about it. They said that they don't do that and that was never the agreement. I was extremely disappointed and still don't know if they were just being lazy or if I was told the wrong information upon booking this company. After they left, I noticed so much damage to my furniture that I have taken such great care of. My beautiful wooden kitchen table is now scratched and chipped in many places, as well as other side tables and my coffee table, my leather chair has a small gash in the leather that I can prove was not there before, etc. I contacted the company about this shortly after the move, and I never heard back. Very poor, all around. I've attached a few photos of their damage to encourage customers to think twice before using Mid Atlantic Van Lines if you take pride in keeping good quality of your belongings.

what i came home to.

do not, under any circumstances, use this moving company!! their driver showed up with zero advance notice to deliver when i was out of town, and threatened me with additional charges to redeliver if i didn't get someone to let them in. after frantic phone calls, my brother was able to get there, and the driver made him sign the inventory list BEFORE they started unloading. everything their company's "professionals" packed for my cross country move was damaged, they stacked a pile of damaged, torn boxes on the floor inches in front of my new flat screen tv, and left a big mess behind. when my brother noticed my couch was missing and asked about it, the driver simply said "no couch," and left. THEY LOST MY COUCH! and that was after additional threats that they would have to take back all my stuff for redelivery if i didn't send him the extra shuttle fees via cashApp, since i wasn't there in person -- and the app declined to send it because of his suspicious account activity! more frantic arrangements then had to be made to get him his cash. because it was a smaller move (1 bedroom), i wasn't even offered the additional protection against loss or damage, so i got duped into waiving any coverage beyond the .60 per pound minimum. that equaled a $72 settlement for my $1200 couch, to which the company added a $500 "goodwill" offer. (you'd pay more for that couch AT goodwill!) not sure how they got their A+ rating with the BBB, but i wish i had been forewarned. you're welcome.

Dupont Circle, Downtown

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 worked with a different moving company 2 years ago that left me scarred for life with how rude and unprofessional they were. I ended up having to finish the job myself (moving my giant couch up four flights of stairs), so when I knew I was moving again, I did my due diligence and sought out a few quotes. Another company quoted me almost $800 and required a 3 hour minimum for the job!! $800 seemed steep and I knew the job wouldn't take that long... Along came Bookstore Movers who quoted me a reasonable $470 minimum for two hours of work and a maximum of $680 for 3.5 hours of work (price breakdown: $140 per hour with 2 hour min. plus a $190 truck fee). I received a quote within a few hours of requesting it. There was no deposit required and the date was booked. I received detailed emails leading up to the move about FAQs, tips for a seamless move, and the names of my crew including contact info for the crew lead. Abdul (crew lead), Niiwayo "Y.O", and Milly were SO fast and friendly. They wrapped every single item with care in drop cloths and got to moving immediately. Despite the 90 degree heat and a total of five flights of stairs, the job was finished in 2 hours. I was SO impressed. I was so traumatized by my last move that I literally had to walk away while they moved the couch in but before I knew it, I got a text from my boyfriend telling me they had fit it through the door and our living room was all set up. I was so relieved and happy to work with them. If and when we move again, (hopefully not anytime soon, lol), I will 100% be contacting Bookstore Movers... and you should too!

4.5 out of 5 stars…read more Generally, the moving experience was fine. However, like a lot of moving companies they have absorbent fees that are only mentioned after the move. The fuel/transport fee was above average especially given the move location was only a 2 miles distance. They added an extra mover the day off bc we have stairs. Though that was their decision, we were charged above the quoted rate for the additional person. I paid cash, which gave us a 10% discount but with all the extra fees, the 10% isn't much of a savings. I still tipped and nothing was broken or damaged during the move. They also arrived on time and helped taped boxes that needed additional reinforcement. Boxes were placed on the appropriate rooms based on the labels. I would hire them again but would budget for 15-20% more than what they quote.

The worst moving experience of my life. Took them over 10 hours to move me into a two bedroom…read moreapartment. Scratched up furniture, broke items & stripped nuts/ bolts during reassembly. Leaving most items unassembled and taped or boxed up. The lead mover even threatened and did leave unfinished because I asked if the bolts on my bed were being stripped, as I could hear the drill stripping them. Then attempted to charge double what was quoted, charging me extra for an additional mover I didn't request and for unnecessarily used tape. They literally wrapped tape around a mattress and taped up sofa pillows and charged me an additional $165 for packing supplies used. But somehow managed to scratch up my entire dinette, chairs included. Giving them 1 star is being generous; there is nothing professional about them.

Unfortunately, my mother passed away in 2024. Six months later, I had to place my father in memory care. In March 2025, I fell very ill and was unwell for four months. With everything that was going on since 2024 my home office turned into a dumping ground for various items like mail, packages, paper clutter and clothing. My sewing and craft room also became cluttered. Every time I sat down to start organizing, I felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin. I decided to take a leap of faith and hired a professional organizer to help me get both rooms in order before the new year. Tzipora and another organizer came to my home and transformed my sewing room in just two hours. On another day, they helped me organize my home office in two and a half hours. The spaces now look wonderful. They came one more day assisted me in clearing out two closet spaces and provided me with great tips to keep the areas clutter-free. This transformation has inspired my husband and I to manage our paper clutter as soon as it comes into the house. It has also inspired us to declutter and donate items that we don't need. I highly recommend her services and will definitely recommend Declutter Together to family and friends. Thank you Tzipora and Kasey.
