This move was on July 31, 2014. The delay in posting was my attempt to cool off from such a horrible experience. Scheduling the move was seamless and without any issues. When the movers arrived, they began counting boxes and said I had too many boxes. They said they could call the office and let them know, and it'd be about $5 per box if they told the office... OR I could just "give them a really good tip". I explained I had a lot of really heavy books and very small boxes that only contained two or three books. I also stated no one had limited me to a certain number of boxes when I scheduled the move. I was warned again about their intention to "call the office." I gave in since time was wasting and they showed up at the very end of their window (4pm) before I lost access to the freight elevator. They were very fast loading the entire apartment--probably because they had formed a line in which they were tossing each other my boxes. Once we arrived to the new apartment they were very fast unloading the truck. It came down to them unloading my couch, which wouldn't fit in the elevator. Despite my requests, they refused to move the couch through the front entrance, stating, "the boss lady said we can't come through the front entrance." After they declared there's nothing they can do about getting my couch in my apartment, they quickly closed the truck up and left. I was not afforded the opportunity to view the back of the truck for rogue boxes (I still have no idea where my towels and glassware are), nor was my move complete. They left my couch and me on the street at 6:30pm. I attempted to call the office, which was closed. I found a nice stranger that helped me move the couch to the bike storage area until the morning. The next morning, I heard from Charm City Movers and explained the situation to them. They said they would look into the incident. They called the apartment manager, who explained to them the "boss lady" couldn't have told them not to come through the front entrance, as it is an all-male staff. The office called me back at the end of the business day and offered me $50, which didn't cover the cost I had to pay a new set of movers to get my couch into my apartment. read more

Serious thanks to the guys at Charm City Movers...getting the most difficult, massive pieces of our furniture we love moved over to the new house. We moved and disassembled what we could, and needed some serious muscle for the rest. They delivered 100%. Well under our expected budget for what we asked, padding and strapping everything secure in the truck. They were adaptable on the fly to moving a few existing things we had to figure out in the new space. I *highly* recommend and would use them again. Keep some bottled water on hand because you'll be watching them break a sweat moving heaven and earth for you. :) read more

do not use this mover. they are the worst. totally undependable. moved out of state 4/3/22. they still have not delivered our furniture. i'm in an empty house with 2 small children going on 3 weeks. unacceptable. read the fine print because it gives them 30 days to deliver but they don't tell you that . staff sucks too. read more

It has been a long time since our last move. All in all a very straightforward process. Everything went well but just a couple of things I need to mention. When we got our quote we were asked how many stairs we have at each location and I gave an exact number. When the movers arrived I was told that I had more than on the quote since they go by flights, not actual stairs. I was gently reminded to simply "take care of my guys" with a nice tip. When we got to our new location I was again reminded that there were more flights than on the quote. When shopping for quotes I went with Charm City because of the professionalism that was evident from their office staff handling the quote. Perhaps it's been too long since we moved and I wasn't aware of needing to tip the movers. I did, in the end, give a tip to the person who had asked. He had wanted me to give it to him so that he could distribute it to his men. With the tip it ended up being the same cost as their competition but it wasn't as advertised. In my time in business a quote is a quote and I felt a little at their mercy as they moved our belongings. Extorted? No. But it seemed like standard operating procedure for these guys. read more

Moving is always stressful, but Charm City Movers made it a great experience. From Felix who was so helpful and responsive to my questions when quoting my move and getting my move scheduled to Chris who was more than accommodating and revised my quote at the last minute...the customer service is top notch! On moving day, Tank, Khalil and Trevon arrived on time and completed the move in less than 2 hours. They were friendly, professional and took great care of my belongings. I will use Charm City again and would recommend you do the same. Be sure to request Tank, Khalil and Trevon. You won't be sorry! read more

If you want a stress free move, call Charm City Movers! I've had some extremely poor experiences with moving companies and this was anything but poor! From the get go, Felix provided fantastic customer service, and answered all of my questions. Every move is a learning experience, and if i had known better, i would have packed larger items in boxes because each individual piece carried counts as a 'box.' The moving team was fabulous! All were courteous, friendly, extremely efficient, and worked well together. The whole move from packing to unpacking was completed in about 3.5 hours and everything arrived in tact! Give them a call and provide an accurate inventory and you'll be more than satisfied with this great company! Thanks Charm City Movers! read more

We used Charm City Movers to move from Baltimore City to Columbia, Maryland on January 18, 2016. To start, I am a reputable medical professional. I usually don't have time to write reviews but my experience with this company has been less than mediocre and I would like to share my experience with the yelp community. Pros: We had a moving crew of 3 guys. The did arrive on time, were friendly and we moved into our new home. They stood by their quote and worked with me if I had miscalculated anything (e.g., I said there would be a wicker chair, but I ended up donating it so it allowed me have a couple more boxes at my current quote). Cons: I was told by Chris that every piece of furniture was going to be wrapped and placed in the truck, which did not happen. The guys did not wrap each furniture item and instead draped padded covers over each piece. The crew didn't even bring their own dolly. Luckily my husband had one from one of his previous moves for them to use. What moving company does not bring their own standard moving equipment????? After the move, we noticed that a huge chunk out of the corner of my new pottery barn coffee table was missing. We contacted Felix (the other owner) and reported it. He talked with his guys and they said they knew nothing about it. Felix said he would have to check the truck for the broken off piece. About 2 weeks later, he said that he could not find the piece in his truck and to look in the drawer of the coffee table. Low and behold, the broken piece was in the drawer. This really pissed me off because if the piece was in the coffee table then the moving crew absolutely knew it was damaged and failed to report upon on completion of the move and then lied about it when asked by Felix. Update: We have a furniture repair person currently in our home right now fixing our table provided by Charm City Movers. The table turned out beautifully. Thank you for some piece of mind. We also had our bedroom flat-screen TV scratched during this move (about a 1/2 inch white line on the flat screen visible when the TV is off and on). Felix tried to make an excuse saying that it was probably scratched before the move and that Charm City Movers has never scratched a TV in its history. Um, I think not. The move foreman did not mention any scratch before the move as he did so meticulously with other scratches on other pieces of furniture. Now we have to watch TV with a huge white light scratch staring at us in the face. Overall, I think we got a really bad crew on this move given that everyone rates this moving company 5 stars, which why I chose them in the first place. Yelpers be aware of using this company if you have nice things that you don't want to have ruined. I will not be using this moving company again. Just to note, my husband never asked for the tip money back as mentioned in Felix's reply comment. Felix offered it to us because we were unhappy but we have yet to see it. read more

Great experience! Moving stinks, but finding reputable movers is even worse. Luckily, I found Charm City on Yelp, and after a couple phone calls and email exchanges, I knew they would do the best job. What I appreciated most was their flat-rate fee (not hourly) and willingness to adjust the quote as we found more items we needed to move or dropped items off our list. The crew moved fast, communicated well, and even had us laughing several times. They had us moved out and in (townhouse to three-bedroom single family) in 4.5 hours. We didn't find any damage to our items or the houses--not one scuff! read more

I used Charm City movers 2 months ago to move from my apartment in Columbia to a condo I purchased in White Marsh. My first frustration was when the movers arrived almost 45 minutes late. This was due to an accident on their route so I let it go as I understand it was out of their control. The movers were very polite and courteous, however that's where it ends. I had left a mattress protector on my mattress to protect it during the move. The movers decided to take it off and expose my brand new, clean white mattress to the elements of moving. Upon getting to my condo, one of the movers cut his hand somehow and bled all over my NEW mattress. I called the office to make them aware of the situation and they told me they would send somebody out to clean it. Well, news flash - its blood and it stains. Someone arrived with some sort of chemical and an air gun to remove the stain and of course it didn't work. The mattress needs to be REPLACED. Nobody ever followed up with me to see if the situation was resolved. Furthermore, there are filthy black hand prints all over the mattress in addition to the blood. I just purchased this mattress so it's not like I have the money to run out and spend another $1500 on a mattress. So now I'm stuck sleeping on a disgusting BLOODY mattress. I was extremely mad that they took the mattress protector OFF the mattress. Had it been left on, I would have simply just had to replace the mattress protector. Several weeks after moving in I was moving some furniture around and noticed that one of my dressers had also been damaged in the move. It was a chest of drawers and the frame that holds the drawers in was completely cracked in half. Nobody had even brought it to my attention. I will not be using or recommending Charm City Movers to anybody. read more

In October 2020, Charm City Movers helped move my belongings from Burke, VA to Ellicott City, MD. Since I had a lot of stuff, the move was a logistical and complex operation that required two of their mid-size trucks. Yet this company handled it in a very professional and efficient manner. Their fee is reasonable and fixed, unlike quite a few other companies that leave their fees floating in the air and to be determined only on the moving day. The reason is that Charm City Movers quoted their fee based on the inventory and pictures I sent them. Everybody I contacted there was very nice and caring. Even their moving personnel surprised me when they introduced themselves individually to my family members and did their jobs in a happy and joyful atmosphere. Also, they took great care in protecting my furniture from potential damages. Charm City Movers is the best moving company I have ever known. For sure I will use them again in the future if needed. You cannot make a mistake if you choose them as your mover! read more

I moved on July 2, 2015, and received quotes from a total of three movers before booking with Charm City Movers. I like supporting local businesses, and this organization clearly takes pride in their work The ladies in the office were so helpful when giving me my estimate, gave me packing and other tips that were useful. I really like the flat fee (as opposed to the hourly rate asked by the two other movers from which I received quotes). However, be very mindful that EVERY ITEM they carry counts as a box, including single items like an ironing board. Because of this fact, the actual amount I paid was $300 over the price quoted to me due to the "extra boxes". I explained that I tried to put heavier items in small boxes to not hurt the movers, but this thoughtfulness clearly hurt me more than helped me. Also, you will not get reimbursed for broken items if you packed the box yourself, unless you take photos of the box proving damage to the outside of the box (marking it "fragile" does nothing for the handlers). Except for these above issues, the actual move was pretty smooth. On the move day, the guys were courteous and professional and despite a long walk, got the whole job done in less than 4 hours. My futon didn't fit into the bedroom, but they did take it apart and put it back together (with a little bit of complaining, but still did it). Also, they did not expect/ask for a tip (some other reviewers had mentioned this, and I was assured when booking that this would not be asked of me, and it was not) The ladies in the office tried the best they could to get reimbursement for my broken items but could not do so based on their above policy, so as I said, pack well and take photos of boxes that appear damaged prior to breaking them down. I have already referred this company to another friend who is moving read more

I found Charm City Movers here on Yelp and I am glad that I took a chance on them because my moving experience was GREAT! I found the website really easy to use and professional and Felix, contacted me really quickly so I could set up an appointment. I appreciated getting a detailed quote prior to the move so that I could plan and budget accordingly. The day of the move went extremely well, I moved the day before Thanksgiving while it was snowing which had me worried but Rico and Jermain were excellent. They were friendly and upbeat but more importantly they moved my belongings well. Everything was brought in with care, no damage and I was even surprised that nothing was wet from the falling snow.It was a pretty stress-free and quick move (they even put the boxes in there respective rooms so I didn't have to move them at a later time) and I will surely keep the company on the top on my list for future moves. read more

INCREDIBLE!!!! From Felix and Chris to Quentin, Will, Danny and Kevin - AMAZING!!! The quality of customer service, the guaranteed quote and level of professionalism from Charm City Movers made this move one of the best (and I've lived all along the East Coast)!!! Quentin, Will, Danny and Kevin literally left an hour ago and I have been able to relax and just watch tv (before I begin unpacking these boxes). My "move" was unique in that I only needed help unloading a PODS unit. When I began looking for a moving company of all of the ones I contacted, Felix was the only company rep to take an inventory of my items to provide me with an accurate quote. Felix was responsive and friendly, yet still very professional. When I had to make a few changes, both Felix and Chris responded just as kindly and patiently to my questions. Chris even followed up with a confirmatory phone call to ensure that everything was good to go! With all the headache I've had with both PODS and my apartment complex as far as where the unit could be placed, I completely forgot about that when the movers arrived on time at 11am (SHARP!!!) as promised. The guys (Quentin, Will, Danny and Kevin) were just as friendly, patient and professional as Felix and Chris were. For instance, some of my items were slightly damaged by the way they were packed into the PODS unit - the damage likely resulted from the PODS interstate move from MA to MD, but Quentin did such a good job in notifying me of the damages before the items were unloaded from the unit. I appreciated that! The guys were finished placing everything and assembling my indicated items in a little over an hour and my quote was exactly as Felix provided!!! I've already called Felix to let her know what a great job the guys did, how I appreciated working with them and that I will be a repeat customer when I move again. read more

My review is a few months after the fact. I moved in July 2017. The moving day overall was tolerable, but started out with the movers coming 2 hours earlier than anticipated (luckily we were ready) and calling me frantically over and over again because they couldn't find the loading dock, even though they told me they had moved people out of the apartment in Baltimore many times. They apparently had a job after mine, so they sped down to DC and brought everything up in a jiffy (after using my bathroom before I did). However, almost a year later, I have realized that they assembled my bed frame completely incorrectly and haphazardly. I guess it makes sense they did something like that since they just wanted to get out of my apartment and go to their next job. While the price was reasonable, just remember the service you get is reflected in the lower than average cost. read more

I had a team of four... Butch, Danny, Quinton and Darrick move two rooms of furniture from one house to another. They were fantastic! Each one introduced themselves to me as they came into the house. Getting furniture into the one room took quite a bit of maneuvering and they managed to do it with no damages to the furniture or the walls. They completed the move in a timely and efficient manner. I would highly recommend them and Charm City Movers! read more

Felix was a pleasure to talk to. Even though they were booked for our move (I called on a Monday and needed to be moved Friday) she offered wonderful advice and what to look for when booking movers. They are also able to service the York PA area! read more

Charm City movers came and helped me and my family move on 10/30/2016 and I am so glad that I hired them. It's very overwhelming moving a 4 person family 40 miles away but they made it very simple and were done quickly. Had some good conversations with the guys while they were working too. Everything arrived in the same condition it had left in and I couldn't be happier that we used them. If I ever move again they will be my first and only call. I just wanted to add that James (if im wrong on name im sorry) was one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life and with me having social anxiety him making me feel comfortable right away was a HUGE help and I send nothing but compliments to him because that is an extremely RARE thing for me to run into. I also was just reading over some of the negative reviews on here and I can attest from personal experience that I never once heard any of the crew complain about anything, nothing was damaged and every single one of them treated me, my family and my items with nothing but respect. read more

I hired Charm City Movers for my move in March. Moses and his team which included Donte and two others were very professional. Moses went over the inventory with me and they went right to work. They confirmed a second time what was going vs staying as they would move to each room. I was not taking a lot of the old furniture and they just wanted to make sure that everything was accurate. Donte even made a suggestion about furniture placement. I went with my plan and in the end, it turned out that I agreed with his suggestion. The guys didn't have any problems rearranging the king size bed and heavy mattress that was set up on one side of the room and changing it to the opposite side of the room. Moses also provided furniture placement recommendation for the basement sectional and I went with his idea. What I pictured in my mind was not going to work so I appreciated the suggestion. The guys all seemed to get along great with each other, which helps to have a successful team. I would definitely hire Charm City Movers again! I moved a number of items on my own to save on costs but in the end, I regretted that decision. read more

Great service with the help of Felix and the movers. We are really happy with the service. Arrived on time and completed move very quickly, making things much easier for us. read more

From start to finish, Charm City Movers provides excellent, fast, and careful moving services. We requested an online quote and Tammy called back within an hour with a formalized quote. We were able to schedule a Sunday morning move the date we needed with only three weeks notice. When Quentin and his team arrived, everyone was extremely polite and introduced themselves to me and my husband. They loaded up our furniture with great care in less than an hour, and the same care was taken with unloading. The quote was accurate for the final bill. I will not hesitate to contact them again for my next move! read more

I called Charm City on a Friday and they were able to schedule me for a move first thing Monday morning. The movers showed up right on time, and were all wonderful and friendly, and even though my move was a bit complicated since I was only moving about half the furniture in the house, they got all the right pieces and didn't need to be told anything twice. Despite the 95-degree heat (and no AC in the old place), they packed up quickly, made the 25-minute drive, and were done in under 90 minutes start to finish! Everything made it where I wanted it, and not a scratch on anything that I can see. The price in the end was exactly what they quoted and there were no last minute surprises or disagreements about what was included in the price. I can't think of anything that would have made the experience better, and will be recommending them to everyone I know! read more

I used Charm City Movers to move the contents of my one bedroom apartment to a larger condo unit located roughly one mile away within Baltimore. While arranging the move and on-site they were courteous, professional and efficient. My one major complaint with them is that while I was given an arrival window between 12:00 and 1:00, the movers arrived at a little after 2:00 PM. While I do believe that arriving late was unprofessional, it is fairly common within the industry and they dealt with the issue well. I had let Charm City know ahead of time that I was working with a very sensitive time window as I would lose my elevator reservation at 4:30 PM. In response to this they picked up a few additional movers to help with the loading process, and because I had everything already boxed and they knew what they beat the deadline by over an hour despite arriving more than an hour late. read more

I used charm city movers on Sunday 8/13/17. I used their service based on yelp reviews. Pros: Scheduling the move was easy and they are very professional over the phone. The movers showed up on time. They had enough manpower to finish the job in a short time. Cons: Not cheap. The move was about 20 miles with one stop at a storage facility before the final destination. I did the same exact move with the same amount of stuff from NYC (200 miles) to Annapolis 2 years ago. For a 20 miles move, charm city movers charged 60% of the amount I paid for the 200 miles move. Very unprofessional. The movers did not stop complaining about the move and that the majority of the stuff had to go to the second floor(which was paid for). One of them used paper towels to dry their swet and left it on my kitchen counter! They did not wrap any of the furniture but they did not do any damage to it either. Make sure you know EXACTLY how much stuff you are moving. You get charged by piece and they will nickel and dime you on the spot the day of the move. When I scheduled my move I specified how many boxes I had and it was the number agreed on however I also said there will be miscellaneous stuff (things like a baby stroller, fishing rod, a plant you can carry in one hand, ironing board, etc...) they refused to carry any of this relating it is not in the inventory. I offered to carry myself and put in the truck but they said they will charge me to put in the truck!! I had to move these things in my car. Overall, I would expect this service from probably a random mover on Craigslist that would have charged me way less than what I paid. I was expecting better service for the money I paid. read more

If I ever have to move again I will definitely be calling Charm City Movers. Quinton, Delvin and Travon were awesome on the day of our move. They were very professional and efficient with our move from Baltimore City to Harford County. read more

Movers showed up on time and moved everything quickly. I had a ton of stairs in my old apt (4th floor walk up), but the movers did a great job. Charm City Movers is easy to work with and professional. I am very satisfied, would use them again. read more

Having a Good mover really helps tolerate the pains of moving. Charm City moved us last week. These guys are Great!! Courteous, respectful and very knowledgable about their business. They took excellent care our furniture, boxes and hardwood floors. From the first day I contacted the business office to the time their truck pulled away it was nothing but a good experience. Their quote was upfront and accurate. Big Thumbs Up Charm City Movers!!!! Thanks - Marty & Rosanne read more

We spent an hour of time filling out a survey of items in our house to get a quote for our recent move. Then we spent an hour on the phone going over the quote with Tammy. We got a very reasonable price and decided to use them as our movers. Then they sent someone (Felix) to our home to make sure that quote was accurate. Because we had 3 steps down to a landing before a 11 step staircase they added $400 to the price as those 3 steps constituted a second staircase. Felix told us that if we could move many of the boxes and small items ourselves she would reduce the price. My husband and I (we are not young) spent days moving everything we could to the new house. They took $44 off the price. Had I gone with a different mover I would have spent the same amount of money and not had to move a single box. This felt like a bait and switch tactic and I was very upset. The movers were also upset that this was really a 4 person job but they only had 3 movers available. So they were overworked and seemed annoyed. They also damaged some furniture (which to their credit they fixed expertly), and put a hole in the wall of the house we were leaving. Overall, I would never go with this company again. read more

Had a wonderful experience with this company! I called about two months before my move and knew I only wanted a handful of my big pieces of furniture moved. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and helpful and would call back right away when I left a message. They were flexible the entire time saying if I needed to change things up until the move, just to let them know. One thing I LOVED was that they gave me a flat rate estimate. Much less than hourly estimates I got for the same furniture from other companies. Moving day came and they sent three men and a truck and they were fantastic! Friendly, courteous, and efficient. Went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly. Can't say enough good things about Charm City Movers and will definitely be calling them again for my next move! Update 8/20/18: Charm City Movers moved me for the second time just last week and once again, a phenomenal experience! I can't say enough good things about them. Everyone is cheerful, polite, and professional. They do an awesome job moving efficiently, handle furniture carefully...just an all around great company with great people. If you're looking for movers, stop looking. These guys are the best! read more

Highly recommend! Charm City Movers recently moved us from Towson to Annapolis. Felix and Christopher were super to deal with, accurate bid, made adjustments as we added some items and removed others from the initial estimate. The pricing was very fair and so well worth it! The moving team showed up on time, respectful with wearing their PPE and pleasant to work with. Many thanks to Moses, Butch, Tyler and Javon for their great work! They were done in half the time unloading at our new apartment, a big plus with the management company reducing the time the elevator had to be locked off. There are so many things that add up to exhibit the services you get from CCM are nothing but professional! Moving is tough, it's a stressful time. Dealing with CCM relieved that stress, they took charge and made the move pretty darn easy! Many thanks to Charm City Movers! read more

Charm City Movers did a great job moving my furniture to my new apartment! Moses, Gvaughn, Travon & Delvin were extremely friendly and made the whole process easy - even when they had to take apart my couch because it wouldn't fit in the freight elevator - thanks guys!!! I will definitely call them again next time I need to move. read more

Charm City Movers was great all around. Everyone in the office worked with me to change my quote as my inventory kept changing (they actually helped me save more money!), and on the day of the move the movers couldn't have been friendlier or moved faster. Would definitely use them again! read more

do not use them to move pianos. They spent 3 hours trying to get my upright piano upstairs out of basement. I even had someone from Charm City movers come beforehand to see how difficult the job would be and they took the job. The steps were messed up, and part of the side of the piano was damaged. They could not get the piano out and then had to take it back down the steps to basement. They said they could come back if I got rid of this little wall in front of steps. The piano did get down there many years ago with the same wall there. They didn't charge me though, but asked to give the movers 50 each, which I did. Another company I cold called (who declined to do the move)said to call Congressional Piano movers. In 30 minutes they had the piano up and in their truck. It shows you the difference right there. http://www.congressionalpianomovers.com/ read more

This company came highly recommended and mostly lived up to their advertising. They moved me out of and in to a medium sized 1 bedroom apartment in less than 2 hours. The man in charge was rough around the edges but knew what he was doing and kept the three other guys with him on task. The rules around moving in my building are obnoxious but the movers actually followed them. My only problem was that the estimate I was given apparently didn't take into account an extra outside flight of steps. I have an email that confirms I told the company about the stairs, but it seems they never incorporated it into the quote. The movers wanted to increase the price by 15% for a single flight of stairs. I was firm about it and the movers didn't charge me extra, but they had already unloaded the truck so they didn't have much leverage. I actually think the whole thing was an honest mistake, but an extra 15% on an expensive move is a lot of money. So quadruple check the number of stairs involved, steps walked, boxes, etc. They're a decent company but they're serious in terms of how they calculate prices and I'm not sure they'd have given a pass if the stuff was still in the truck. read more

Hiring Charm City Movers was an excellent decision! We booked months in advance and scheduled a move for Christmas holiday weekend. Felix was incredibly responsive via email and kept in contact leading up to our move. The morning of our move, Quentin and his team cleared our apartment and got us moved into our new place incredibly fast, handling all of our items with care. We will definitely consider the company for all future moves and recommend your company to friends and family. read more

Charm City Movers moved my sister and brother on Friday. They were AWESOME! They arrived exactly on time and never stopped until the job was done. Trevon, Dante, Quentin, and Tank were great, extremely efficient and courteous, hard workers. Felix in the office also was very helpful and and wonderful to deal with. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. Thanks guys, super job! read more

Everything about our move was great, until I discovered that my Nintendo Switch was stolen. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend doing business with this company. read more

We had a great experience with Charm City Movers. The crew arrived on time and they were incredibly efficient with the moving process. We really appreciated that they treated our belongings with care. Chris & Felix were helpful in getting us an accurate estimate and we felt like they prioritized making sure that we didn't have any surprises cost-wise at the end of the move. I'd definitely use them again. read more

The people on the phone are really nice and give a fair quote, but the actual movers are scam artists. They complained THE ENTIRE TIME they were moving furniture. I know toddlers who whine less. Also they made strange comments and gave unsolicited advice about the items (i.e. "you should get a flat screen TV instead of this curved one" or "you should hang this on the wall"). When it came time to write the check, the foreman laid on the guilt pretty heavy to get a bigger tip. Save yourself the headache and hire more professional people. read more

Just finished moving from my longtime apartment in Essex, MD to West Baltimore. The past few weeks, I've felt really overwhelmed with all the stuff I've accumulated throughout the years. Called Charm City based on a Yelp search, and saw their great reviews. Spoke with Felix in the office who was very personable and put my fears at ease. Also, spoke with Chris the day before the move to update some items that I wanted moved, and he shared what to expect on moving day. Today was moving day! Chris arrived early to pack up my books, pics, CDs and movies. He's awesome! He got a kick out of my Guy CD, too. Hehe. AJ, Mark and Cooley arrived shortly after. The whole process was smooth, and they were fast! Cooley disassembled and reassembled my bed quickly, too! Thanks to Charm City Movers for making my first move with a moving company hassle free! I will recommend them to anyone I know that's moving, in the Baltimore area. Update: Just used them again today, December 18, 2016. Cooley and Mark were on point once again! Everything packed up and moved within an hour a half. Thanks to Felix and Chris again for allowing me to reschedule due to the ice issues that occurred yesterday. I really appreciate you all! read more

This was my our first time using movers that we researched and selected ourselves. It can be a daunting process as there are many companies with varying quotes; all of which seem to be expensive. The great part about Charm City Movers was that they quoted you based on your inventory and as long as you moved what you said you would be moving, the quote was exactly what you paid. Chris and Felix there were great to work with and very helpful with adjusting our quote numerous times and providing various scenarios so we could determine what would best fit our budget. Finally it was moving day. We chose 8 am so we could get it out the way fast. We were shocked as, not only were the movers on time, but they were actually 10 minutes early. There were four of them (Moses, Drew, James, and Darryl) and they were all very polite and helpful. They came in and went right to work. They moved quickly and efficiently and had the truck loaded in about 20-25 minutes. We didn't have a lot (we had a small 3 bedroom town home) but we had some big heavy items that we were concerned about and they moved them with no problems at all! We were truly amazed. They packed the truck, drove to our new home (which was about 10 minutes away) and quickly unloaded. They were done by 9:15 am. They got in and they got out, without a dent on any of our items or walls. If we move again (which honestly I hope we don't bc it's so stressful) we would use Charm City Movers in a heartbeat. It was worth every penny. Movers aren't cheap in general, but they out beat every quote that we had and they were the only company that provided a binding quote. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, this is definitely the route to go. read more
