    Mover taking a break on my dime! Sitting on my furniture instead of loading the truck. Talking on his cell phone.
    Franky H.

    Alexander Movers are absolutely terrible. We had a 4 man crew for a local move. The "movers" were extremely slow and careless. Many items were broken. They are not real movers. Just random guys with a truck. One guy appeared to be intoxicated or under the influence of something. It took 3 hours just to load up the truck. Inefficiently done. A 3 bedroom apt with about 2 bedrooms worth of stuff. It should not have taken 5+ hours for an apt move. One guy who stayed on the truck was taking a break, sitting on my sofa, talking on his phone instead of loading the truck. When I commented on it he became belligerent and continued to talk on the phone, moving items with one hand. No effort, no hustle. A complete waste of time. If I didn't help we would still be loading the truck. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Trust me you will regret it. Also the moving truck has a hole in the top of it, so if it rains your items will be wet! They only accept cash which they demand every two hours. Seriously these other 5 star ratings cannot be real. These people are NOT PROFESSIONAL MOVERS. No real movers that are hired to do a move will gripe about the scope of work. They had no dolly's or other equipment. Wardrobe boxes or anything to help with the move. It shouldn't take 5+ hours to move literally 8 blocks.

    This is by far the worst company I've ever used for a move. I was charge for 4 hours all for them to leave my furniture in the hallway assuming that I didn't have more money. Please don't use this company poor customer service, they don't wrap your items. I'm also reporting them to BBB. This a black owned business with horrible service. Single women please have a man with you on the day of your move.

    Furniture being moved with out being wrapped

    My husband and I hired Alexander Movers for a small move on February 29th after being referred to them by a friend who claimed to have used them several times without issue. We needed to move furniture ONLY 3 bedrooms, living room, and dining room furniture nothing major. We also took down both beds with the exception of 1 because it requires more than 1 person to take down the bed and I couldn't help my husband with that. We hired 4 guys (so that things could roll as quickly as possible as we had an event scheduled for later that day) and paid for 3hrs. We were told initially that they would arrive between 9:00am-11:00am, we called multiple times and were told that they were on another move, we finally got in touch with someone from the office and was advised that we were given the incorrect time and that they would arrive by 4:00pm. They arrived to my house around 3:45pm my husband completed a payment and signed an estimate of charges form and they began moving our things. It took 4 people almost 2 and a half hours to move less than 15 pieces furniture that had already been broken down for efficiency and convenience. They complained of being tired from moving all day and was happy that this was their last move for the night. 1 of the guys that was there to assist with the move disappeared for what seemed to be an hour, and the other guy that was there was an older gentleman who basically gave orders and helped take down the 1 bed that I mentioned above. They were supposed to wrap our furniture so that there were no damages sadly, they did not wrap some of the furniture, and the furniture that they did wrap was not done properly resulting in damages. When we got to our destination conveniently our time had run out and they had an instant boost of energy moving the same pieces of furniture that took 2 and a half hours to move out of the old house, into the new house in less than 20 minutes. The guy who acted as a supervisor told us they would not be setting up our furniture (which we paid for) or moving it to the appropriate area's of the house unless we paid for more time. Paying for more time was out of the question because we paid for ample amount of time given the amount of furniture that we had. My husband signed a carbon copy of a form and they left. I called the owner to explain all that happened the conversation got very heated after the owner rudely told my husband and I we were making "lot of noise" by voicing our complaint. We agreed to disagree and ended the call. I inspected my furniture and noticed damages and I made a note to call the owner that following Monday. I called him and explained my damages and he promised to send a mitigator by the name of Dwayne to my property by the end of the week. That never happened so I reached out to my attorney to have her contact the owner. The owner sent her several documents (that we've never seen before) with my husbands signature that of course protects his company. I have never seen the original copy's of these documents and my husbands only recalls signing 3 documents but he furnished 7 to my attorney, I would love to see the original copies of the documents but I'm sure they will never surface. This move was nothing short of a nightmare, We were left with damaged furniture, paid for services that were not received, and then hit with these mystery documents that takes the liability from the moving company and places it on the customer. This was a lesson learned for us , had I took the time out to read the reviews about this company that were left by other customers having some of the same experiences I would have never hired them. I hope this review helps others. I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN, NOR WILL I EVER REFER THEM TO ANYONE THAT I KNOW.

They were timely and showed up exactly when they were supposed to, were very communicative throughout the whole process, and were incredibly fast and super efficient!. When I first talked to them for a quote, they made it very easy as they walk you through the whole moving process. The person giving the quote makes you go room by room and list all the furniture that you are planning on moving to your new place. They then explain what's included in the price and email you a copy for your records. A $50 deposit is required to lock in your date and is credited towards your total at the end. Adil and his team works super fast and waste no time at all. They are very knowledgeable and work great together as a team. They finished our move 2 hours earlier than what was quoted! Amazing! All our furniture and belongings were packed wonderfully in their truck and all made it to our new place in their respective rooms without any issues. I highly recommend using Move4U the next time you need movers. Their pricing is very affordable and hiring them was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My back would never have survived this move and am very grateful for these guys!

I don't even know where to begin. 1)First, there was definitely at least one broken item that I found just in a couple hours I was there 2)They used gigantic boxes for a ton of little stuff that they just threw in the box. I'm talking a 3-ft tall x 2ft x 2ft box filled with tiny bathroom stuff for one example. Why on Earth would you use such a giant box for a bunch of little stuff, especially when there's things that could spill. 3)"We wrap, protect, and transport everything with care." I found the absolute opposite. There was a whole entire box of fragile porcelain figurines that were placed in a box without any sort of paper or bubble wrap around any of the items and they only threw a wad of paper at the very top. The box where I found a broken porcelain figurine it was just placed amongst other fragile stuff and clothing. Again, no wrapping whatsoever around these fragile objects. 4) Many of the boxes were not labeled as far as the contents and we had no idea what was in these boxes. 5) some of these boxes had words on them and I don't even know if it was English, but I have no idea what they said. And only the top of the box is remarked none of the sides. So you had to unbury all of the boxes just to read whatever gibberish was on the top. 6) they literally just placed the boxes anywhere they wanted. The homeowner tried to direct them to what rooms things went in and it was a complete disaster when I got there today. 7) And before I forget, the most important thing is that they lost their cat! They had a door that was closed and they told one of them make sure nobody goes in here because I have cats in here and they opened the door and the cat ran out of the house and is still missing as of a couple weeks. How are they going to compensate for that? That was only 4 hours today and it was a WhatTF ...one after another. I'm going to be helping them unpack for the next few weeks and I cringe thinking what I'm going to find. Seems like they were a very lazy and unprofessional/ untrained team. I pack as part of my job as well and this was high schooler level. A college kid would do better than this. Major training is needed

From the moment we spoke to on the phone to the moment they drove away, it was a professional, positive, and reassuring experience. We had a massive move and Roy came to our home to check out how much we would likely have to move. Quoted us a FIRM price, no flexible or hidden fees, and on the day of the move he, himself was the on the team with 5 other guys. I have never see a move more proficient and professional set up/ (I have moved plenty!) He had his guys stationed in an assembly line, so no wasted time up and down stairs, he went back and forth between the truck and the apartment and watched his guys like a hawk!

The guy was great! His team was great! We are so so impressed. We don't plan on moving any time soon but you better believe we will be booking him and his team again someday in the future.

Mykola and his team showed up just on time, provided proper communication ahead of time where we walked through the space - he took note of what needed to be taken, wrapped up carefully, including the moving of a piano, and asked great questions. They disassembled a variety of furniture such as a standing desk, couch, beds, and more. The entire team was incredibly efficient, polite and respectful of my property. When we were in the storage unit, they worked so effectively and cleared the unit in only 30 minutes! Once in the space, they were fantastic - they moved boxes into the correct room, double checked with questions, assembled furniture and at the end of the day, they finished in less time that I was quoted. Just to note - they do ask for a $50 deposit, and then, as part of my price, they request the first $500 of the full price to be in cash. Mykola was a wonderful foreman and leader - I would gladly trust H2H Movers again. Thank you for making such a stressful time of moving a seamless and respectful one.
