    SUPER COMPANY. I have used movers before but WALK'S MOVING &…read moreSTORAGE (Altoona a, PA) was the BEST. Other movers were good, but this company was the best. They arrived precisely on time--8 AM. They arrived at the correct location and were ready--doors open, ramp in place, etc.--to started immediately. They knew EXACTLY how to prepare a 6' grand for proper moving--and they moved it without a problem (and no damage whatsoever). They then loaded the furniture and boxes with the same care and efficiency. At the destination they followed the item markings (Kitchen, Bedroom 3, TV room, etc.) and everything was placed where I wanted it to be. Each member of the crew was pleasant, professional in appearance, and professional in their use of language. The final price was EXACTLY what had been quoted to me long before the move. An EXCELLENT experience with WALK'S MOVING AND STORAGE, Altoona, PA. In addition, their truck was new and the truck's interior looked as if the company cared.

    I'd stay away! Owner was unprofessional and added $4000 in charges…read more The business owner, Gary, does not communicate effectively and took no responsibility for his mistakes. The interstate move for our parents was an awful experience that could have been avoided. Gary did not take into account emails sent well in advance of moving day and did not communicate to clear up any misunderstandings. My parents ended up paying Gary over $4000 more than quoted and the move required an unplanned separate trip on a different day, due to him sending too small a truck. This caused a domino effect of problems for my parents to figure out at the very last minute. Gary's explanation was that my dad was "confused." However my dad's emails explained all very clearly; Gary was the one confused due to his lack of attention. Then it took TEN days for the 2nd delivery of their things. Instead of being apologetic, acknowledging his mistakes which we would've respected, Gary blamed all on the customer, literally claiming nothing was his fault. I'd definitely stay away from this company and go with someone more highly rated.

    These guys made my move from Ebensburg to Pittsburgh so easy, even on the Saturday after…read moreThanksgiving. They showed up on time, worked quickly, set up things where I wanted them and made me laugh along the way. For a studio apartment and a 60-mile move, their quote was significantly less than others I received and the price I paid the day of my move was even lower than that. I'd use this company again.

    I'll start with the fee- when I called to set up the move I was told they charged $175/hour. It…read moreturns out that's per man per hour with an additional $300 for the truck for the first 2 hours. Every hour after the first 2 is an additional flat $175. From there it just got worse. I was told I only needed 2 men and 2 hours to move my belongings from my place to a storage unit when I called to schedule. Those 2 men were the slowest movers I've ever seen. I've moved several times and hired professional movers before but I've never had movers take a single light box at a time to the truck and try to have a conversation with you when they come back in for the next one. They complained often about how heavy my furniture was, how many steps there were, and how much their backs hurt. They also took the time to ask if I was leaving anything, cause if I was, they wanted it. They were so unprofessional! My parents and I ended up moving all the light stuff out to the truck just to get them moving. We also helped when we got to the storage facility. I've never had to work so hard when I hired movers before! We were sore for days! Even with us helping, they still managed to drag out my move a total of 4 hours! I had everything boxed up or wrapped and ready to go when they got there and it still took that long. That's twice as long as I expected and they charge by the hour! It was the most expensive move I've ever had! I really feel like I got cheated. And they hovered around fishing for tips after we were finished! It would've been cheaper to just rent a U-Haul and move myself.

    1. Arrogant staff 2. I had mentioned many times to optimize…read morethe boxes weight close to 50 lb to help me account for the shipping labels (that were bought as per weight) but boxes even as light as 10 lb were packed and these variations costed me a lot of money for something that I could pay much lesser. 3. It is common sense to pack food and home supplies separately to avoid any spillage but after receiving the box, I understood that the packers lacked it. Needless to say a lot of my food bought from my own country had to be thrown in the garbage. 4. Due to improper packing, my boxes were held by the USPS and repacked by them which caused some items to go missing from their center. 5. I had clearly mentioned that everything either goes in boxes or suitcases. It can be verified that a lot of my clothes were just moved into a "black cloth bag". On calling to rectify this mistake I was addressed with an arrogant tone without an apology, although it was rectified that night as per their convenience. 6. I wonder how this one happened - My daughter's boots come in two different boxes which again were delivered to me on two different days. 7. I guess this is the last one yet most important, my glassware reached me all in small pieces since they packed GLASSWARE in PAPER!!!! $125 is not a small amount for packing materials. One star for being timely (despite getting out of my apartment twice to deal with 'other work'). NEVER EVER EVER HIRE THEM!

After almost a month without a refund, they became impossible to contact. We finally filed a suit against them, which scared them enough to return the money. Judging by other reviews, this is not the first time they have done this to someone.

    In comment to your response, all I will say is it is exactly what I expected…read more Shaffer's Transfer and Moving movers are the ones who told ME about the damage to the hutch, so they were aware of it. So, it should have been documented on their paperwork. So, that is something that they should have made you aware of and after the long and unfortunate day with these individuals I just wanted them to leave. I do know I would not have given a $150 tip if I knew the TV was broken. Because they just stacked a lot of the items inside the garage, I did not find that damage till the next day. After the bad service that I was provided, I honestly did not want to deal with Shaffer's Transfer and Moving ever again. So I did not contact the business about the damage to my TV. I mean nothing else that Shaffer's Transfer and Moving provided was honest so I figured that would not be either. Nothing about the experience was good and just very disappointed that people take advantage of other people in the way I was taken advantage of. Just a very unfortunate situation. But in the land of moving companies I guess customer satisfaction is not important because most people do not move more than once. I am sure that return business and referrals are not something that happens a lot so as long as Shaffers Transport and Movers can squeeze every penny out of the current customer they are satisfied.
