One of the long, deep scratches in our table caused by Devon Moving Company
Mary A.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! RUINED FURNITURE, REFUSED TO REPLACE! Their movers completely ruined our new dining table before they even got it taken apart. We have no idea how they did it, but somehow they put numerous deep, long scratches across the tabletop while trying to get it ready to move. The company "repaired" the table, but the scratches are still quite visible, and the finish of the table is now very low quality (it is rough and uneven, and it stains and looks awful when we try to use any type of wood cleaner on it). The table also let off a horrible noxious gas that filled our apartment for weeks after the repair. The company is refusing to replace the table. I will post pictures of the scratches. By the way, the price for moving was WAY more than they quoted us because they took three times longer than they were supposed to. In the long run, we will have lost hundreds of dollars because of our choice to go with this company.

Collins Family Movers recently helped my family with a long-distance move from Chicago to Michigan…read more I recommend them extremely highly. CFM provided full packing services on a Wednesday, and on Thursday they loaded everything onto two trucks, drove to my new home, then unloaded and set everything up (in one day!). It was a complex move. We were coming from a very full townhouse - lots of breakables, a couple pieces of furniture that required significant disassembly, a piano that had to go around a tight corner and down a flight of stairs. Everything was packed and loaded with extreme care. When we arrived at the new house, the team went to great lengths to place everything just where we wanted it, assembling all items and cleaning up nicely. Through it all, every member of the team showed a very high level of professionalism, compassion, kindness, and respect, both for my belongings and for my family members. Working with owner Richard before and during the move was also excellent. He walked me carefully through my moving options, and provided detailed quotes based on a couple different scenarios I'd asked him about. The price he quoted was in line with quotes I received from other local movers, but I went with CFM specifically because of the confidence I got speaking directly with Richard. When moving day arrived, there were no surprises: everyone was on time, the team was the size I expected, and the price was exactly what I was quoted. There was even a flub-up on my end, where I accidentally overpaid by a few hundred dollars, and Richard nearly immediately refunded the balance after the move was complete. A long-distance move with a house full of stuff is one of the most stressful experiences of a person's life. There's nothing more valuable than having a moving company that provides door-to-door service, with professionalism and transparency. Collins Family Movers went above and beyond for me in all these respects. I'm very grateful I chose to work with them, and will 100% work with them the next time I have to do a long-distance move (hopefully not too soon!).

I would not recommend this company. They are overpriced and…read morehave a very poor quality of work and even worse customer service. They protect themselves with their lengthy contract to ensure they have zero liability with your future and belongings. After sending numerous emails with no response, I called to speak to them about the damages. Richard was quick to tell me that I was lucky he took my call since he just returned from a long trip to Italy. This made me feel like my concerns were not important and he was doing me a favor by taking my call. Before hiring Collins Family Movers, pay very close attention to the damage/liability exclusions in their agreement. In my experience, those exclusions were like a green light to be careless with anything they can later say they aren't responsible for. When they damage your property, don't bother talking to Richard as he will make you feel like it's your fault for trusting them and not moving certain things yourself. I paid $1,600 to move a one-bedroom apartment with no appliances, yet apparently the best option would have been for me to move certain belongings myself. If I'm hiring and paying professional movers, I expect my belongings to be handled carefully whether or not a contract says the company will reimburse me if something gets damaged, but this is not what I got with Collins. Boxes clearly labeled for specific rooms were put in the wrong rooms. It was as if they couldn't read. I had to carry heavy boxes to the basement myself. Again a concern dismissed by Richard, but a service I paid for. A large, extremely heavy armoire was placed without anyone asking where I wanted it, and now I have to find someone to move it because it is sitting where my bed needs to go. It is unrealistic to expect a 60 year old woman to move this heavy furniture, yet all Richard could say was "where were you" as if I was unavailable. There was no sense of urgency from the moving team. It literally took three hours to load my one bedroom apartment. Mind you when I moved a year ago with Alamo and the same belongings, it took half the time. When I expressed this concern to Richard it was dismissed and excuses were made. I had to unwrap all of the furniture myself just to get them out of here because it was taking them so long. In addition the movers took an over one hour to make a drive that took me 20 minutes, while I was paying by the hour, equating to over $110 overpayment. Also, know that your trash cans will be filled with their shrink wrap because they do not haul away their own packing material, also in the contract but in my opinion a dis-service to the customer. The shrink wrap was used in place of moving blankets, which would have been a more sustainable and safer option. I've now used two different companies. Alamo Movers Inc. took roughly half the time with essentially the same belongings and provided a far better moving experience, with no damage to my property. The cost was about half as much as. Furniture was carefully moved with no damage and placed where I wanted it. When they were done I was satisfied unlike this situation.

This is my second time using Expert Movers. It was a second great experience…read more The office made the scheduling easy and their responses were prompt and on-point. I was most impressed by Wilver and his crew to overcome obstacles, mostly from my building. They did great work and I'm very pleased with how my moving day went. Well done all!

TL;DR: These are the best movers I've ever worked with anywhere in the country…read more We've hired Expert Movers twice. Once to move between houses in the city, and once to pack our things and load them into a truck that we're driving to another state ourselves. Expert Movers were incredibly professional both times. Here are some highlights: - Not a single piece of damage to any item or the house during either move. - Very hard working movers who are strong and can safely lift even very heavy items. - Locally owned so it's easy to get someone on the phone if and when you need. - All materials provided and everything completely handled. I literally sat there playing video games for a few hours during one of the moves. This last time we moved they really outdid themselves. We needed somewhere to store our 26' moving truck for the night between packing and loading. We didn't know where to store the truck so we called Expert Movers for their advice. They ended up offering to drive the truck to their lot, store it there overnight for us, and then drive it back the next morning *free of charge*! Crazy stuff. These are good people. Worth every single penny and we won't even bother calling another moving company if we ever need to move back to Chicago.
