    Bad customer service. Wouldn't recommend at all. Don't appreciate being cursed at on the phone.

    Required an 80% up front deposit. Google Gemini told us this was a fraud red flag. To quote them:…read more"Looking at the screenshots you provided, there are several significant red flags. While the company (Two Brothers Moving) has a valid USDOT number, the specific terms of this quote are highly irregular for the industry. Here is a breakdown of why you should be extremely cautious: 1. The Deposit and Payment Schedule This is the biggest red flag. The quote lists a $7,097.60 deposit and states that 80% of the total is due 24 hours prior to the move. Industry Standard: As mentioned before, reputable movers rarely ask for more than 10-20% upfront. The Risk: By paying nearly $7,100 before they even park the truck at your door, you lose all leverage. If they don't show up, or if they show up and demand more money (a common tactic), you have already handed over the vast majority of the funds. 2. The Price Point The quote is to move a 1-bedroom apartment from Connecticut to Virginia. Context: While long-distance moves are expensive, nearly $9,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment is significantly higher than average market rates. For a move of roughly 350 miles, a 1-bedroom usually ranges between **$2,500 and $5,000**, depending on the level of service. The "Per Diem": They are charging you $450 for "Overnight lodging per mover." Most major carriers bake these costs into the line-haul rate rather than line-iteming hotel stays for the crew. 3. Discrepancy in "Project Type" The quote explicitly labels this as a "Local Move" in the Project Information section. Why this matters: Moving from CT, to VA, is an Interstate Move, not a local one. Labeling it as "local" can sometimes be a way to bypass certain federal consumer protection regulations that apply specifically to interstate household goods movers. 4. The Platform The URL app.supermove.co is a legitimate software platform used by many moving companies to manage bookings. However, just because a company uses professional software doesn't mean their specific business practices or pricing are fair. Summary & Recommendation I would not sign this or pay that deposit. An 80% pre-payment for an 1-bedroom move is predatory. Even if the company is "real," these terms are designed to protect them entirely while leaving you with zero protection if things go wrong."

    Buyer beware! We had seen them move other folks in our building and Mario was good to come out for…read morean estimate, but they damaged several wood furniture items, broke a full length mirror and drinking glasses, damaged art pictures and did not reimburse us for them. We surmise, not insured. No written quotes, only verbal. Be sure and communicate clearly; we had a miscommunication that almost derailed our move day. I thought we were doing a good thing giving our biz to a local, small moving company but now regret it post move.
