I recently got married and was moving from my condo into my husband's house (our home). Less than a…read moreweek before the scheduled move, my husband found out that he had to work on the day I was moving! As this was unavoidable, I got on the hunt for a reputable, highly recommended moving company. And I was super duper happy to find A Few Good College Men. Their communication was great, the charges were clearly laid out, they arrived on time, and most importantly took the utmost care with my belongs and furniture. Clearly they have been in the business for a while, because the truck was loaded so intricately and with a lot of care. We had two stops - the first to drop off stuff to the house and the next to the storage unit. With both stops - I was really impressed with the professionalism. All in all, my husband and I both agree that they were excellent value for money; and I really felt peace of mind throughout the moving process! And that's saying a lot!! 10/10 would recommend and I will DEFINITELY be a repeat customer future moves!!

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 moved this past weekend and hired Bookstore Movers for the job. I can honestly say I was blown…read moreaway by the professionalism, efficiency, and expertise of the moving crew. 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!

The movers were friendly and helpful. They were on time and finished the job quickly.read more

I loved Felix, she was very nice and quick with packing my items. I had Chris come pack before. I'm…read morenot sure who packed my dishes by I did have several broken plates, bowls and a vase. I had a pretty hectic move in day because of my personal oversight on what I needed day of move. I will say the mover driver was a bit predatory because they had to wait for me to get my cashiers check and it was a Sunday where all banks are closed. He said he would have to charge me for the wait time but then when it was time to pay made it seem like he made that up as a way to get more money out of me and said he could just apply the wait time fee to the tip instead. I did not appreciate that as I was already planning to tip. I will say when the company I used previously I did appreciate that they wrapped everything they moved. This company did not do that I'm not sure if it is something they offer and it's just extra. Overall my biggest issues was with the movers and that I lost a few items but overall a decent experience.

I'm having trouble finding the right words to describe our experience with Potomac Moving Company,…read morebut "amazing" and "game changers" come to mind. This was an interstate move (DC to PA) in less-than-ideal conditions (we had to move an adult family member out of the apartment). The crew, Roberto and Harry, were empathetic, caring, and incredibly efficient with packing, loading, and unloading the one-bedroom apartment. I spent the day worrying (needlessly) that the storage unit I had rented was too small. The crew fit all of the items neatly and safely into a 5x10' unit with room to spare. I've never seen anything like it. I also want to give kudos to the front office. They were the first company to respond to my inquiry, answered all of my questions patiently, and kept us informed about when the crew was arriving. The value that we received for the price was off the charts. Put Potomac Moving Company at the top of your list. I would not hesitate to call them again for a move if the need arose.

That was a big mistake. This time I went right to Doyle. You get what you pay for, my friends. Ryan, the owner, was very responsive and we made an appointment to do a video walk-through of our condo. We did the walk-through, he asked a lot of questions and then he promptly sent an estimate. We have a lot of things so it took five guys and two trucks. The crew leader contacted me the day before to confirm the details and they showed up promptly the day of. They were incredibly friendly, fun, and energetic the entire time. And very polite. They treated all of our things very well and didn't have a problem moving any of the weird odds and ends we couldn't find a way to pack. When we arrived they put everything in the new house where we wanted it and even though we could tell they were suffering from the extreme heat and the weight and amount of our things, they never lagged or complained. They put the beds back together quickly and correctly as well as the dining room table. I'd be in hospital if I had to move all my stuff. At the end, the crew leader went over the paperwork, explained all the final charges line-by-line, and took payment. Very professional. We could not be happier. They were a great crew of guys. Ryan has a great company and I couldn't recommend them more.

I strongly advise anyone considering Doyle Moving Services to review their contract carefully, as…read moreit contains highly predatory and legally questionable clauses for Maryland consumers. Most concerning is the inclusion of a "Confession of Judgment" clause. This aggressive legal tactic attempts to strip consumers of their right to due process in court, and it has been explicitly illegal in Maryland consumer contracts since 2020. Furthermore, their opening paragraph states they "in no event function... as an interstate or intrastate common carrier." This is a massive red flag, as it appears to be a deliberate loophole to dodge the state's mandatory cargo insurance and liability protections that legitimate movers are required to carry. Upon requesting that Doyle strike these clauses from their contract, they refused to do so, because they "do over 1,000 moves a year and send the same contract to every customer we service." Unfortunately, that contract contains illegal and predatory language.

This was one of the easiest moves. I've had thanks to this company. The movers were punctual,…read moreorganized, and careful with my furniture in boxes.

There were two men on the job who handled my items with care and asked me questions about what was suppose to go the whole time. I had a great experience and the stress that it eliminated was well worth the money. The starting prices are reasonable and my only complaint would be that if there was at least another person it would have went by faster. I did end up paying for an additional hour, but it was WORTH it! I would recommend them and I would use them again. The next time I will be more realistic with myself about the time it will take and plan accordingly.

I moved into my new place yesterday and had the pleasure of meeting Carlos and Jonathan. They were…read moreabsolutely amazing, from the time we met to the time they left they handled me and my items with care and professionalism. They kept me informed throughout the process and were extremely trustworthy and personable, especially when I had to run out of the house to handle something leaving them alone and when I ended up having more items than originally planned for the move. 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.

Overall, BullDog Movers were very good. My move was not huge, but I needed a lot of help packing…read more The movers handled it efficiently. I had one issue with the frankly crappy reassembly of my captain's bed. When the movers left, the bed was bowed, drawers would not close completely and the slats were falling out or not fitting in at all. I reported the problem to Serena and it was corrected promptly. A crew came and reassembled the bed to eliminate the problems. Finally, Serena is the best. She is responsive, knowledgeable, friendly and very easy to work with. I would recommend this business almost entirely as a result of the superior service she provided.

Having moved 9 times over the past 40 years, my wife and I have considerable experience with movers…read moreand moving companies. I found the staff / office members at Von Paris who I spoke to be mostly responsive and professional. I had numerous interactions with them, because the crew members who actually packed and moved us were lousy. All nice folks, but the crew members who performed the packing, loading and moving did so with far less care and proficiency than ANY of our prior 8 movers. The worst we've had out of 9 different moving crews. Maybe Von Paris has better teams of movers. In my experience, the performance of the crew chief determines how well the crew performs. For our 3 day move the crew chief's role seemed to be limited to delivering and picking up trucks --- we barely saw or spoke with him and never saw him provide any supervision. Absent on-site leadership for 3 days, the crew members worked at a slow pace, with little urgency. Long lunches --- that we brought in for them on 3 separate days. Packing of our household items was very random and inconsistent --- lots of paper wrapped around items that were not fragile; while a number of fragile items were poorly protected, some even placed at the bottom of boxes. While the randomly poor packing suggests a possible lack of training, it seems more likely a lack of caring. Von Paris did honor our claim to repair or replace 7 items we submitted as damaged. Meanwhile, our contract required us to submit our total damages within 2 weeks ---- and we only learned of other damaged items after that point. Most significantly and important to be aware of --- I brought to management's attention a major fabrication in the bill of laden. At the end of the move I was provided a "moving contract" to sign ....that had NO entries for the number of containers that were packed. All were empty. A few days later I asked Von Paris to explain how they determined the number of size of the boxes/containers they had packed and for which I was billed. They sent me a copy of the "moving contract" I had signed after delivery ---- but with numbers for the boxes/containers entered where none had been entered when I was asked to sign. Why does this matter? They billed me to pack the very same number of boxes / containers they had used for their original estimate. Meanwhile, to reduce that cost my wife and I spent a month packing and moving MANY boxes, knowing that by doing so we would reduce the number of boxes we would pay Von Paris to pack. Despite that, Von Paris fabricated the number of boxes they packed, later entered those numbers on a contract I had already signed, and then billed me for more containers and packing than they performed. In bringing this to Von Paris's attention I received a modest admission this was a departure from their procedure, but there was no acceptance of the vastly lower number of boxes I counted them as having packed. Instead, they represented they "uncovered the actual number" of boxes they packed - lower than the fabricated number they billed me for - but appreciably higher than what I counted. I was billed for their new number. Being so grateful to no longer have to deal with this company, I resigned myself to move on, while also committing myself to sharing this experience for others to be aware of. Long story short: you are not hiring the people who are running Von Paris, but the crew members they send to actually pack and move your stuff. If you hire Von Paris as a moving company, I wish you better luck than we had with the crew that packed and moved our stuff.

I can't say enough about the Abingdon, MD. location of Von Paris Moving & Storage Company. The…read moreestimator was extremely accommodating and professional. Mark McMahan, a 5th generation family member came to my house and did a very thorough walk-through. I'm not sure how, but he was able to closely estimate the manpower and time it would take to move all that I pointed out and told him I was taking to my new place. On moving day 5 polite and professional men arrived at my house right on time. They worked well as a team and seemed to know exactly what each of them would get to work on, ie: one guy put together all the special hanging clothes storage boxes, one started to break down beds etc. They began at 8:30am sharp and I believe they did not finish until about 5:30pm taking only 2 brief 10 min. breaks. When we arrived at the new place, I noticed they took each hanging clothes box to the specific closets which I designated but did not open each box and actually hang the clothes. When I mentioned that I thought the estimator, Mark had said they hang clothes in the closets, they began to open all the special boxes and hang my clothes. I was curious and asked one of the guys what they normally do and he said they are only required to leave the boxes in the correct closets. Without saying a word, these guys began opening all boxes and actually hanging the clothes in closets. When I realized that was not what they ordinarily do and told them it wasn't necessary and that I'm sure I misunderstood the estimator, they were quick to say "we can do it, we can do it, no problem at all" it was obvious this crew went the extra mile! They were a pleasure to deal with, in fact so much that I felt compelled to write my 1st review EVER on Yelp!! I signed a contract stating the possibility of it taking longer than the estimated time and was quite pleased that the estimate was right on.
