Azar and Ivan were absolutely amazing! The communication from quote to move day were spectacular. I'm looking forward to them taking care of our next two moves!

This move was unfortunately a disaster. My real estate agent strongly recommended that I use Commonwealth Movers based in Reston, Virginia to move to a one-bedroom condominium in Washington, D.C. My father arranged the move as a gift, and so I don't know how much he paid. Commonwealth sent two movers, and they arrived on time around 10:30 a.m. and behaved professionally and were friendly. One of our movers was excellent and certainly went above and beyond. The other was an older man who did not look well when he arrived, and then revealed that he was not well at all. He moved very slowly, understandably, given his health. He said that he was diabetic and needed sugar, and so I bought him some food and a soda from a vending machine. After some hours, the truck was packed and moved to the new location. Once they arrived, the one able-bodied mover began to remove items from the truck. The other lay out on the sidewalk. I asked if he needed a doctor and he said yes. He said that he was unable to see. I walked him to an urgent-care center a block away and returned to my new address. The mover who was still working said that it would not be possible to get everything into the building by 4:00 p.m.--my new condo building's cutoff time for elevator use--and that he would need to take my things and return the next day with someone else. I was disappointed to hear this because I had to be at work the next day, and I suggested that he and I move what we could into the building until 4:00 p.m. He worked *very* hard at a quick pace (as did I) and we managed to get everything into my new condo by just after 4:00. Around 3:30, the other individual returned and said the urgent care wanted him to go to the hospital and he didn't want to go, so he left. He helped to move what was left to the best of his ability, but he was not well at all. Eventually, he came up to my apartment and was leaning on the kitchen counter to keep himself from collapsing. I asked if he needed to sit (He obviously did.) and he said yes and sat down in a chair I bought about six months ago--a $1,300 leather chair. When he got up, there was a wet spot on the headrest of the chair that I assumed would dry to a normal color. It didn't. The chair is permanently stained. I tried every 'home remedy' I could find, as well as three leather cleaners, to remove the stain, and nothing worked. I contacted West Elm to ask if they can reupholster the chair and they said no. My real-estate agent called Commonwealth Movers and asked me to be on the line for the conversation. He said that the company needed to compensate me for the damage to the chair. The woman with whom he spoke said, "We do not damage clients' furniture!" I sent photos of the damage. She contacted my father and said that the issue had been forwarded to their insurance. That was a month ago, and there has been no follow up, and I'm sure there will be no compensation for the damage. I feel terrible about the entire course of events. I am most worried for the mover who collapsed both on the sidewalk and in the urgent care facility. I don't understand, however, why someone so ill and advanced in age was assigned to a labor-intensive job like this. The mover who worked very, very, very hard to get my furniture into my apartment negotiated with his boss so that my father would only need to pay for part of the other worker's time during the hours when he was in the urgent care facility, but there was no compensation for the damage and no consideration that I served as the second mover. (I'm not used to such high activity and was not able to go to work the next day because my body hurt so much.) I understand that my chair is permanently damaged and I need to decide whether to live with a well-built new chair that will be an eyesore for its entire lifetime or whether to give it away and spend more money on more furniture, and because this service was a gift from my father, I feel a little bad about complaining on his behalf. At the same time, after a month of reflection, I'm alarmed that this company sent someone who was so obviously very ill to do this kind of work--mostly, I'm alarmed that he had such a major health crisis and collapsed while working for my family--and I remain surprised that the 'boss' (I don't know what her position is--owner perhaps.) barked at my real-estate agent that "We don't damage client's property!"--because her worker absolutely did damage my property. I suspect that my real-estate agent and his partner will no longer recommend this company, and I certainly would not consider using them again. I do want to say that the primary mover (I believe his name was Sam.) was both professional and incredibly hard working--I was worried he would injure himself all day given the disproportionate load he bore and how quickly he moved--and that this review is meant only as a review of the company's management.

It had been a very long time since I last moved and the last company was all booked up on the date…read moreI was looking for assistance. So after receiving a few quotes from a handful of businesses, I went with Potomac Moving due to the speed of their response, clarity in communication, pricing and overall warmth and professionalism. In our first phone call to walk though my needs, they were very assuring and accommodating, which is a such a relief in the midst of stress and coordination that comes with planning for a move. They were also always very responsive in the few times that I reached out between the time I paid the deposit and the actual move. A night or two before, I sent at email regarding wardrobe boxes, since I was debating whether or not I should buy and have a few delivered to me. The owner responded quickly, assuring me that wardrobe boxes were tried, true and if I wanted to buy any directly from them that I could. That ended up being a great call, because they were able to properly enforce the boxes so that even the boxes filled with my heaviest coats remained in tact. On the day of the move, the movers were communicative regarding their arrival time. They were also very nice and hard working. I had a few large furniture items that needed to be disassembled and they ended up being quite beasts to tackle. But they worked diligently to break them down. Once it came time to move things to my new place, that was a breeze. One gesture that I thought was just so classy, was the owner called in the middle of the move to check-in on how things were going - I really appreciated that. Overall, would definitely recommend PMC - they're easy to work with, fair and transparent about pricing and you're sure to be met with professionalism!

Scheduling this company and receiving a quote that was SPOT on, was amazing. The communication from Ana was perfect. She kept me in the loop about arrival time, send out a confirmation about my booking, and even helped me change my original date to something sooner. Originally, I was quoted a timeframe between 1-5pm, they showed up an hour EARLIER! To some this may have been the part where you panic, especially if you are running small items back and forth to your new place, to me?? This was PERFECT, because I was able to have a headstart for my long moving day. The truck was large enough, both movers came in and were polite, patient, and did not make me feel uncomfortable when handling my items. They wrapped all dressers, tv stands, coffee tables, and TVs and ensured everything was delivered carefully. No frills, no stalling for extra time (you do get charged hourly if you exceed your allowed time), and just straight to business. All in all, I do recommend booking for your next move, the price is unbeatable and the workers are great. Once again thank you very much!

I had had a great experience with them just last year when I last moved and knew they'd be able to get the job done again. My project was immediately responded to and they were able to help me move two weeks later on their soonest available date. The three movers, Pat, Renaldo, and Kevin were incredible. Communication leading up to the move and theday of was great. They were able to move all my large furniture within 2 hours. Everything was wrapped carefully and efficiently. They were kind and thoughtful, helping me make adjustments to the furniture layout once we got to the destination. Their positivity through one of the hardest situations I've ever gone through was much-needed and made me feel confident in entering this next chapter. I even had a last minute change to the destination (originally everything was going into storage but I ended up finding an apartment just in time), and the professionalism and patience from the entire Bookstore team through this change was excellent. Pricing was reasonable yet again and came out to about $500 (excluding tip) for the truck fee and moving of 16 large items. Thank you Bookstore Movers for helping me when I needed it most!

We were disappointed with our recent experience with Bookstore Movers. The crew was polite, but the…read moremove felt much slower and less efficient than it should have been. We had a dedicated elevator, yet workers often brought items down only one or two at a time. I also saw team members on their phones or standing around in rooms and hallways instead of actively moving things. These delays added up quickly. The crew also misplaced parts of our bed frame, and the pieces had to be found before it could be reassembled. That alone added nearly an hour to the move. Because the move took much longer than expected, the final cost was significantly higher than the estimate we received. We were also charged based on an arrival time that was recorded as ten minutes earlier than when the crew actually arrived. The team was courteous, but given the inefficiency, added time, and higher final price, we would not use Bookstore Movers again. This is unfortunate, because we had been happy with them in previous moves.

"White glove" customer service began the moment I called about services. Cecelia took my call and guided me step by step, she even allowed me to do a FaceTime tour so I didn't have to fill out forms on how much furniture, how many boxes etc. I received email, text and phone calls to confirm service and given status update on arrival. The entire crew was friendly, respectful and efficient. When we learned our house had "too much" stuff they quickly (and behind the scenes) brought a 2nd truck for moving day. The problem solved before there was a problem! Top notch moving company!!!

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.

They poorly packed my stuff into my two storage units. Some things broke or were smooshed. They stole extra $40 from me and gave me a poor lie for why they did it. They had to send me a $40 check after I called them out on it. Their boss wouldn't believe me and defended them, almost to the point of scolding me for accusing them of stealing... only for their lead mover to apologize to me with a weak ass lie. Edited to elaborate, since Susan continues to be in disbelief and refuses to think it's possible her employees would do such a thing and to make all of you potential customers aware of my experience: I counted out my cash out loud maybe 3x. The lead mover saw that I had multiple $20 bills amounting to hundreds of dollars. I laid some of the $20s in piles on my vehicle dashboard and counted out the cash to the amount that I owed, rounded to the nearest $20. When I gave him the money to count, he gave a fake sigh and shook his head and said I was $40 short. I didn't believe him and asked him to count again. He said I owed $40 more. So, I gave it, but I felt lied to. After that, I still tipped them smh. I shouldn't have. He left and I recounted all my money. Now I was short $40, meaning if we subtracted what I owed to them from what I withdrew from the ATM and also subtracted the tip, I should not be missing extra $40. I did the math multiple times and brought it up to Susan and the company. They accused me of lying and trying to steal from THEM. Susan said "it's only $40! I'll just send you a check. It's only $40." (Mover's name here) later texted me and apologized and said he got confused. He said when he counted the money, he set the $40 aside in his sock because it was tip. That's why he asked for $40 more. That doesn't make sense? When he counted the money in front of me, he never put any money in his sock. He just counted the money and looked me dead in the eyes and said I owed $40 more. I also didn't include tip until AFTER he said I owed $40 more and we settled what I owed first. Susan, the reason why I didn't pick up when you called today (8/10/26) is because you showed me months ago that you are argumentative and not interested in listening to me or believing me. I already know you're gonna argue like before and probably pressure me to take my review down. I took months to post this review because I knew you'd do this, call me and claim I'm lying or have your business confused with another. But if you thought that, if you truly couldn't find me in your data base, then why did you call me just now? Looks like I was in your data base after all.
