    EDIT: The business owner has again made false claims without having seen the actual move or the damage caused by his crew, to get out of dealing with dealing with these issues. Christian was NOT there when his crew asked me to borrow tools, NOT there when they scraped the walls with our furniture, and NOT there when they cracked the banister. Lowered my rating to one star. Original review: PhilaGorilla was fine. They showed up on time and in masks, but the positives stop there. The movers showed up unprepared, without any tools (screwdriver and allen wrench) for disassembling furniture. Thankfully I own tools that i was able to lend to the movers so that they could do their jobs. On top of that, their crew damaged the stairwell banister in multiple places, for which I am now being charged several hundred dollars. Christian was completely unhelpful and falsely claimed that the damage was pre-existing, which is hard to believe considering the size of the cracks and scratches (see photos). Several pieces of furniture had paint on them from where they scraped the wall, and there were many instances where they were slamming boxes down, without really paying attention to whether the contents were labeled as fragile or not. I will not be using them again, and I would recommend others to steer clear also.

    they sent me this text after I posted my review. I wouldn't call this professionalism LOL

    Awesome crew and movers! Moved my stuffed 4-bedroom townhouse in about 7 hours. Very courteous and professional staff. Highly recommended.

    They sure aren't smooth at scheduling. I reached out to them with full pick-up drop-off locations…read moreand full inventory list on May 13. They quoted me the next day. I then asked how to move forward - no answer for three days. On the third day I asked again if someone could please reach out and tell me the next steps and the reply, the next day was that they wanted to know my destination and inventory (ummmm you were given that originally). I again gave the destination pickup/drop off and full inventory list. That was three days ago, no response. Honestly, how can you be a reputable company when you don't respond to client requests? If the job was something they didn't/couldn't do, the least they could do is tell you instead of ignoring you. If this is how they respond in the beginning then how are they going to be with managing your move? Danger, danger Will Robinson.

    I used Smooth Moving Pros to offload a small truck in 2017 and it went fine…read more Just emailed them for a quote on a new move. Started out OK... Nate sent me numbers and said everything had to be packed up and ready to go for his team. I asked if they could do one thing - wrap my furniture in blankets - and he answered "no, it's our policy not to wrap the furniture with pads prior to putting them in the truck, as it makes it very difficult to carry the items. I apologize that we won't be able to meet your specific needs and we will not be able to move you." I emailed him back, said I'd be OK with that (even though it wasn't ideal for me), and I haven't heard back. This was 4 days ago. Being a business owner myself, this is not how you treat a repeat customer. Based on this poor experience I would not recommend Smooth Moving Pros.

    I am new to the Philadelphia area after relocating from LA in April. I was living with my parents…read morewhile looking for a job on the east coast. I finally got a job in NYC, so I had to move to Jersey City. Being new to the area, I didn't have any idea of the movers in the Philly area. After doing some checking on yelp and google reviews, I came across Albo moving. Their reviews were really good, and they were close to my parent's house where I was living at the time. I reached out via cell and Alex responded the same day asking for more info. I texted it all to him. The next day he emailed me a quote and laid out all the info. The pricing was very fair, and based on his quick response time and great reviews, I decided to hire them. I am very glad that I did. My move went extremely well. I hired 2 movers and a 20-foot truck. Eugene and Serg were great. They clearly communicated their arrival time and kept me updated via text. There were 2 pick up locations - my storage unit and my parent's house. They had everything from storage wrapped and packed into the truck in 2 hours. Then we went to my parents for a few more things, we were out of there in under an hour. They drove to Jersey City and then had the entire truck unpacked and moved in and all the packing material cleaned up in 3 hours. It was an extremely hot day and the guys worked really hard and very quickly. I could not be more grateful to Alex and his team for the excellent job, and I would definitely hire them again for my next move. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for hard working, honest, reliable and dependable movers

    These guys were great. Easy to coordinate with and they did a fantastic job moving on both ends.read more

    Absolutely loved these guys. Strong is an understatement, these guys are ridiculously impressive…read more They also respected the fragile labels and even kept the box I packed upside down by accident in it's proper (upside down) orientation. They're incredibly quick with it, just make sure everything is packed and ready to go when they show up. Price point was great as well, particularly when everything is ready to go for them and they get it done in record time. Not planning on moving again any time soon, but nice to know when the time does come we won't have to ship around for movers again!

    I will rehire these guys for my next move (even though I hope it's not anytime soon lmao)!…read more I hired them for an unload-only job. They called me when they were 45 minutes away and arrived promptly. When they arrived, they were organized, professional, and fast. With 3 guys, it took under 2 hours to unload a 15 foot U-Haul. My final total plus processing fee was actually lower than quote range they gave me. The best bit: my front door was sliiiiiiightly too small to fit my couch through. I was mentally over everything to do with moving at that point and was going to say we could put it back on the truck and donate it. But what did the Old City guys do? They tried to take it through the window, which was also slightly too small! They had to disassemble the window, bring my couch in, then put the window back together! I'm honestly still impressed at the dedication. Other stuff: They responded to my quote request through their website in less than 1.5 hours. Their email communications were very thorough about guidelines and policies, which I appreciated a lot during a hectic move.

Justin was incredibly responsive when discussing my…read moremoving needs--my husband and I just moved to Philly from LA and we needed some support unloading our relocube. The pricing was fair, clear, and honestly exactly what we were looking for--no additional costs or surprises here (comparatively, I had other quotes which had added costs which didn't make sense). When it came to moving day, his team was quick, efficient, and extremely careful with my boxes and furniture, securing them in all the right rooms. Honestly, they even finished early, they were that efficient. Highly recommend, I'll definitely be reaching back out to Midas Movers for all my moving needs.

    Our experience with Midas Movers was simply amazing! Since I was arranging the move from Texas,…read moreeverything had to be coordinated via email or phone. I got estimates from at least seven companies, but Justin at Midas Movers stood out immediately. He responded quickly to my calls and patiently answered all my questions without pressuring me to commit. We ultimately chose Midas Movers, though we were understandably nervous as the move was arranged mostly via phone. Justin kept in touch 24 hours before the move and even helped address last-minute concerns, which gave us peace of mind. On the moving day, the crew--Justin, Abe, and McHenry--arrived exactly on time. Despite pouring rain and the challenges of parking in downtown Philadelphia, Justin handled everything calmly and efficiently. The team was incredibly thorough and careful with our belongings, ensuring not a single item was scratched or broken--even with some loose furniture pieces. Unloading and reassembling furniture was done quickly yet meticulously, and they finished the entire process on time. What could have been a stressful day turned into a breeze thanks to their calm demeanor, organization, and professionalism. I whole heartedly recommend Midas Movers! If you're looking for reliable, efficient, and thoughtful movers, this is the team to choose. Did I mention they were also affordable!!!
