Fantastic! I moved from the West Coast to D.C. using a U-haul shipping container. I needed movers to unpack the shipping container at the Takoma Park U-Haul and bring it to my new apartment in D.C.. My coworker recommended District Relocators, because they did a great job for his move. I emailed them, and Tony called me promptly with details, a quote, and availability. Tony confirmed with me a day before the move. The movers arrived on time and quickly moved me into my apartment. District Relocators provided 4 movers, and they did such a quick and professional job. Many thanks to my movers JERMAINE, DONN, JAMES, and CHRIS! Definitely would recommend. read more

District Relocators moved me up from DC to NYC a couple of years ago. They were so great that I hired them again to return to DC! Service was great a they were on time, so friendly and did a fantastic job packing and moving everything! Darryl, Jay and Chris were great! read more

District Relocators - Movers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Greg and his team packed and moved us from DC to NY (with a stop in NJ to drop of about half of our stuff). They were truly outstanding. They packed everything incredibly carefully and efficiently- and remained friendly and patient throughout the entire time. They were even organized enough to label and load our items based on whether they were going to NJ or NY and successfully get everything where it was supposed to be. Moving is always stressful but Greg and his team made our complicated move seamless. read more

They did a great job but they did break several things which I had sent a claim about. Have not gotten a response. I reached out to the owner who said send it to the claims department- nothing else we could do. Not even an apology. So just beware if they do break something, don't expect to get reimbursed. read more

I would have loved to use these folks, as I had gotten a good review from a friend that had used them in a prior move, but even with a confirmed contract, they never showed up, nor did they contact me prior to me calling them, to let me know that they weren't unable to move. When I did get in touch with them, they told me that they had my information, along with the signed contract, but I was not on the calendar, and that they had no one available to help me. Which was unfortunate, as I had paid move out and move in fees to both places, and an apartment full of boxes with no one to move me. Thankfully I was able to find another company on short notice, but I wouldn't recommend using them, or if you do, please double check that when they send you a quote and you sign it to confirm, that they've actually put you on their schedule (which you shouldn't have to do). Good luck with your move. read more

Best kept secret in DC for moving~ Just moved today! I promised Corey that I would write a review. So it is. I've actually used movers 3 times in the past 2 years for corporate move (because its' free). This time, I am doing a personal local move, so I was going to do it on my own. I had to move my 1 bedroom stuff in a storage with 3 other friends. How much harder it is to do it on my own! It took us 4 hrs and many other mini trips to pack left over. So I decided to look up professionals again when I was moving from the storage to my new condo today. First, I found one on Google with a really cheap price, then I found a lot of bad reviews on Yelp. Then I found a couple highly rated companies with a lot of reviews, but they were not available during the dates that I requested. So I went with District Relocators, highly rated, but fewer reviews. Yes!! They were available! I moved from Alexandria to Fairfax, about 20 mins drive. They quoted me with 3 hrs minimum + 44 dollars on gas & milage. That's including driving time & moving time & all the trucks. The hourly rate was $105. So total was $359, and I mentioned I found them on Yelp so -$50. Total $309 + tips (optional, I gave $30, not sure if that's supposed to be good or bad). The estimated start time was 130pm to 2pm. The 3 movers (including Corey) came at 150pm and finished in 2.5 hr!! Nothing was broken. And I had a lot of stuff that were already in bad shapes, because this is the 5th time I moved all these stuff... =( As someone that moved around a lot, I would definitely use them again and recommend choosing them. (Hopefully, they will still be available after they become more popular). read more

Given my past experience with movers I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly everything went. My first impression was with Corey over the phone and he was more than accommodating since I kept changing the move date. He fit us in for a morning move and the guys showed up on time. There were three guys Will, Rodney and a 3rd guy (who's name I'll dig up and add) for a small one bedroom. I have to honestly say, they worked together so efficiently, the move was over in 2 hours!!! Seriously, the most stress free move I have ever had, we even grabbed breakfast and ran other errands during the move. To top it off, they've got the best prices, the quote was exactly what we paid, there were no hidden fees or any of that non-sense. Mention Yelp for a $50 discount I highly recommend District Relocators, I know I'll definitely use them for my next move. read more

I spoke with Tony and he set my move up. The crew showed up on the day we had an appointment; they were 40 minutes after the stated start time, but accounted for that in the cost without me having to point it out (and actually charged us a bit less than the rate agreed on based on the actual time). They were professional, worked very hard, and moved all our stuff as desired. They did drop a single box and broke some pottery which had been labeled as 'fragile', but this was at least partially my fault because some of my boxes were not packed very well at all, and so the box underneath the one which fell crumpled and caused the fall. Given how much of my stuff they had to move, I think that less was broken than I would have if I'd moved it myself. Overall I was happy with the service they provided, and would definitely use them again if I needed to move in the area. read more

First of all, the guys who helped me move -- Greg, Greg, Dave and Kendall -- were amazing. District Relocators actually helped me move twice in 4 months. I was doing a condo remodel, needed to move some of my stuff to a storage unit and the rest to a temporary apartment a few blocks away... and then move it all back in four months later when the remodel was finished. Both moves went great. Both crews were on time, friendly, efficient, accommodating to a few special requests, kept all my items safe and sound during the move, handled some very heavy boxes, placed everything where I wanted it -- and both moves were very reasonably priced. The most impressive feat was getting my sofa in and out of a freight elevator. It would have taken me 45 minutes to figure out the geometry of how to do it, but they did it in a flash. They even helped me repair one of the legs of my bed that (through my own incompetence) got damaged during my stay at the temporary residence. I also appreciate that they "loaned" a couple of blankets for four months to help protect a very fragile item kept in storage -- and that they took apart and reassembled my bed on both moves. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with District Relocators. Bravo a thousand times for an outstanding performance!!! read more

It has been over a year since our move and we are still trying to get money reimbursed for the thermostat that the movers broke. When you call their office number a call center will answer, take a message and then no one will return your call. The nice call center lady does not know how you can speak to an employee of the company. It's so shady. I have called numerous times throughout the year, sent my receipt for reimbursement, and emailed them as well. Nothing. No response. No call. No reimbursement. This company is the worst. I will be filling a complaint with the regulators and sending a letter to the BBB. read more

I have nothing good to say, only a big FUCK YOU to District Relocators. I have used them before and recommended them to several friends based on what was previously great work. However, after my most recent experience I can say they are NOT the company to use, UNLESS: you want the movers to show up late, overcharge you for "extra services," throw your stuff around, scratch up your family heirloom furniture, break your stuff, make disparaging comments about your possessions, make you sit in the hot sun waiting for two hours while they don't call you to tell you when they will arrive, leave the door to your condo wide open when they know you won't be back for several hours and your safe of valuables is still in the condo, and disrespect and totally disregard your building's policies and procedures for moving. If that is what you're looking for, by all means, call these guys up. If not, then call someone else. read more

These folks are great. We had 5 folks come out and ready to work. They arrived on time, and quickly moved our 1 bedroom apartment ~3 hours. They were transparent, responsive, and overall solid professionals. Highly recommend. read more

We used District Relocators for a move in late May 2016. We used them to pack our entire house (three floors) and move everything in-town. The front office were kind and professional and unflappable, very nice to deal with Holly and Linda. The moving team onsite dealt with parking issues like the professionals they are and never bothered my wife or I with anything other than "where should we put this big heavy object". (we got emergency no-parking signs like you're supposed to, but of course people ignored them-- and we were not about to have our brand new neighbors towed on our first day in the neighborhood!) The team is great and we will recommend them and use them again if we ever move. read more

VERY pleased with my moving experience this weekend. The movers arrived right in their promised window and were incredibly efficient. I had 4 stops that included an annoying disassembly and reassembly of a bed (that apparently the movers were not aware of) but they didn't complain and did a fantastic job (the bed weighs a million pounds and was a storage bed, so pretty complicated). The only minor glitch was that I was charged more than I was quoted, due to company error, so that when it came to pay (in cash) at the end of the move...I had to scrounge for extra money to tip what I wanted. However, when I called this morning to tell them about the mistake they immediately apologized and began issuing a refund (which they graciously offered to do through PayPal- so it will be quick and easy for both parties). I would absolutely without a doubt recommend them to everyone and anyone- and if you have a piece of furniture you're unsure about taking apart, request SAM! He was the best. read more

I hired this company to move me December 1st. I automatically got a $50 discount for finding them through Yelp. Corey was friendly, understanding and helped me through the process since I've never hired movers before. He was nice enough to basically let me shop around and make sure I want to hire movers. All I had to do was finalize within two weeks. The key was starting early, so I contacted them in mid-November. I had to do a little confirming, but I'm naturally a worry wart. I always think things are going to fall through. Anyway, I received reassuring emails from Corey that I am still on the calendar. The movers showed up on the 1st on time right on schedule. They were really nice fellas and we got along well. They wrapped everything and disassembled stuff when needed. Granted, we were only moving heavy furniture. We had two apartments going into one apartment (girlfriend and I were moving in together). All in all, the job took exactly three hours as quoted. Nothing was damaged. Easy-peasy! read more

This is a great company! I searched for a moving company to move my furniture from DC to NYC. I was so lucky to have found District Relocators on the internet. As soon as I reached out to them they promptly contacted me and gave me a very reasonable estimate. Soon after, they scheduled the move. On the day of the move, five guys showed up and loaded the truck up in 15 minutes. The men were very pleasant and trustworthy. They carefully wrapped up everything. The company arrived in New York on time. The unloading process was so easy, quick and efficient. It only took about 20 minutes. Moving is one of the most stressful things in life, but District Relocators made it so easy!! I highly recommend them and would use them again in a second! read more

I moved from DC to Manhattan last summer. After searching the internet for a reasonably priced and well reviewed mover in DC, I went with District Relocators partially because the timing worked out as well (I had a very narrow window where it had to happen since I was overseas right before returning to DC and only had a few days before I had to vacate my apartment). While overseas I spoke with Linda via email and on the phone to make arrangements. It happened they had another client moving to New York at the same time so lucky for me, they offered a discount for us to have both of our stuff loaded together. Unbeknownst to me at the time, my new building in Manhattan didn't allow move-ins on Sundays and our originally planned delivery day was on a Sunday. I contacted Linda and she was willing to search for an alternative solution for me. In the end they didn't have another client going a day before or after so I agreed to pay $100 more to have my stuff stored with them so it could get delivered after the Sunday. It was still a great deal compared to what other companies had quoted me. The guys who came to pick up my stuff were on time, even a bit early. They were quick and efficient in getting everything out of the apartment. Upon delivery in Manhattan, they were efficient and professional as well. I just wish they would've given me one of their phone numbers so I could've kept in touch with them while they were on their way since there were so many factors related to traffic that could change their ETA. Just having Linda's phone and email wasn't very useful if it was outside business hours and she didn't seem like she was in constant touch with them. Fortunately I was working very close to home and could run back when they arrived. One minor thing they screwed up: they mistakenly dropped off two small bags of the other client's stuff at my apartment. I don't think they lost anything of mine but I had a small plastic stand that lost a few legs. Not a big deal. I waited for the other client to contact me through the company so I could return his or her bags but it never happened. It was my first time hiring movers and I would recommend them. read more

These guys totally followed through. They came back and got my couch and my move is finally complete. They are attentive, good with your stuff and really very funny. I highly recommend. read more

At first glance, District Relocators seems promising due to their many positive reviews and discount. However, I do not recommend their services and suggest they change their name to "Damage Relocators." Several items were damaged and a necessary wooden piece of the bed frame was broken. Also, if you contact their "claims department," don't expect to receive a response. It's been lovely to look at a tv stand without shelves. read more

On time, on budget, nice guys. This would have been 5 stars, but I found a couple of scratches on my furniture when all was said and done. That said, they seemed very careful with everything and made sure everything was well-wrapped. Not sure what happened. read more

I was a little scared about some of the reviews on DR on here - particularly about the broken items. I prepared accordingly by boxing up my favorite breakables and such and taking them in my own car to my new apartment. However, I felt that Rome, Al, and Shemar, the three awesome movers that came, were very detailed and careful the entire time. They handed me my lampshades because they did not want to run the risk of ruining them which I thought was responsible of them. They were courteous and worked quickly and strategically. They were a little late but DR does give basically like a 30 minute definite window with the possibility of a full hour. I just wished the office would have called me to give me an update after the 1/2 hour so that I wouldn't have gotten anxious and called myself (my loading dock was only reserved for a set time and I was nervous we wouldn't finish on time). Now, the hiccup I had was that unfortunately I was moving for a newer building to an older one with smaller doorways and hallways so my couch just wouldn't fit but they tried their best (twice) and tried to help me resolve having a random couch in my possession without anywhere to put it - they went above an beyond ( a drive to local uhaul storage facility, and then another drive to another place to store it when uhaul didn't work out!). Because they finished as quickly as they did, they had the time with the 3 hour minimum and only went over a bit more due to the extra moving around so I didn't pay an arm and a leg over the estimate. Holley who was the office sales lady was helpful but I do think their online system could be much better for booking and outlining all of the items that you have - DR's system is very old school and not as detailed as other moving companies that I requested quotes from. They should update that - I think it would help their movers too (for example, they didn't know that I had clothes on hangers that I thought they would bring garment boxes for which is what has happened when I moved with other moving companies - but that's because I wrote it out in my quote request but I don't know if they share all of that with their movers). It worked out fine but that's because I don't have tons of stuff and had my own garment bags for the extra sensitive stuff (just not enough for all my stuff). Again, I think Shemar, Al, and Rome are valuable employees overall at DR and you should try to request them if you use the company. read more

I used District Relocators for an in-neighborhood move. Setting the appointment was easy and the movers were fast. However, many of them smelled strongly of pot and they damaged a standing lamp. read more

I moved on May 3, 2015 and am so glad I went with these guys!! I made the mistake of waiting until the week of my move to book movers and no one was able to accommodate me at a good price except District Relocators. I was especially concerned about the amount of time it would take to move me considering my original building had no elevator, terrible parking (on street), and was on the second floor- but these guys had no problems!! They arrived on time, their truck fit perfectly in the spot I saved for parking, and they moved me out of my studio into my one bed apartment (5 miles away in Sunday Traffic) in 2 hours 20 minutes. Nothing was damaged, all my furniture was wrapped, bed and box spring mattresses were covered, and they even had time to reassemble my bed, move my long bookshelf around and gently handle my antique Loveseat. I would recommend them for any type of move: as I had a lot of furniture yet this wasn't a problem. Also, these three guys move at lightning speed so you will get the best bang for your buck! Overall I paid $415 and can say it was the best and worry-free move I've ever had. read more

District Relocators arrived on time with more movers than promised, that is where the positives ended. They loaded a shipping container with our moving boxes and furniture. They broke a glass top from a table while preparing to move it and also did a very poor job of packing and padding the furniture, even though we had plenty of moving pads ready specifically for this purpose. When the shipping container arrived, multiple boxes were crushed because light boxes were packed below heavy boxes. A desk was broken in multiple spots because of the way heavy boxes were loaded on top of it. Multiple pieces of furniture had deep scratches and rub marks, because they were not padded and loaded properly by the movers. I submitted a claim to the company and received an initial response from Corey, responsible for processing claims. After telling me they were not responsible for what happen during shipping, even though they packed the containers, they agreed to look into the broken glass that occurred during the move. That was over two weeks ago, I never heard back from Corey again with a resolution and have followed up multiple times via email, and speaking with and leaving messages with both customer support and the sales rep I initially worked with, who both told me they would pass my message along to Corey in the claims department. I would not recommend District Relocators for your moving or packing needs, if something goes wrong they will not accept accountability. read more

Having used a big name company when I moved from Chicago to D.C. was one of the worst decisions of my life form a customer service standpoint, illegitimate quotes, delivery time, etc. When I moved from D.C. to Philadelphia I was worried I'd go through the same situation, but District Relocators eased all of my angst. Tony was always available and always responsive to whatever questions or concerns I had and was always just a phone call away. They picked up my things and moved them the day off, which is unheard of with the big name brands of movers. We had a tight window to move from D.C. to Philadelphia and they met each deadline with hours to spare. The movers themselves were extremely professional and treated my items like they were moving their own furniture. From a financial perspective, no company can beat the quote they gave me. They're the total package, and I highly recommend to anyone. read more

This review is long overdue...I used District Relocators for my move at the end of July and they did a fantastic job. Corey, my contact, was really helpful and thoroughly covered everything that would be involved with my move. He also was patient with me when I kept calling back to make sure everything was set for my move. The 2 extra guys he brought on my moving day were both very pleasant and efficient. The only snag in this whole operation was on my side when my couch wouldn't make it past the front entryway of my new apartment! I applaud all 3 guys for their effort to attempt to get it through though the doorway and they hauled it off when it was clear it was a lost cause. I would definitely hire them again for any future moves, especially within DC. They know the area, they offer reasonable rates (I got $50 off because I had found them on Yelp), and they take care of your stuff...going above and beyond in most instances. read more

One of their competitors recommended District Relocators when they couldn't help me move on rather short notice, so I think that says a lot! I moved in September 2013, so I'm a little late in getting to this review, but I felt strongly that TJ, Derrick, and Chris be recognized for their hard work. They were professional, efficient, and made me feel very comfortable about handling some of the more delicate furniture items. I would definitely recommend and use them again! read more

These guys are great! The act of moving is such a hassle, but District Relocators were amazing and made the process as stress-free as possible! Right when I first spoke with Linda about a quote, she was provided such great customer service and was so friendly that she put my mind at ease. We were considering other places, but I knew that District Relocators would easily be the best. We used them this morning, booked from 9am to noon, and they arrived at 9:30 and were done at about 11:50am. Crazy efficient, even with the annoyance of people parking in reserved spaces for the truck. Sam, Shawn and Chris were very professional, cool guys who were friendly and fun and definitely took great care to protect our belongings in the process. I also really appreciate how flexible they are with payment and how they protect their customers in they payment process. I offered up my credit card info to Linda ahead of time so that I wouldn't have to worry about cash, and she said they would just accept credit card day of since it's safer than providing my info to them via email. I hope I don't have to move again, but if I do, I'm going to use District Relocators! Thanks for a smooth move, guys! read more

I really wanted to give them a good review. However, let me give you the rundown of what happened with my move. Disclaimer: I've given them several weeks to rectify but they've gone missing. In short, I used them some time ago to do a move from NYC to DC. No problems, the move was ok and no major issues besides a missing glass piece. I decided to use them again to move back to DC from NYC. The guys ( I won't mention names) moved my stuff pretty quickly considering I had walk-ups in both locations. At the time of the move, I thought all was well. I even gave a 60 dollar tip for EACH mover. As I am unpacking, I decided to turn on the TV. To my surprise, the TV was considerably damaged. There's huge damage to the TV. I reported this to they're "claims department". After much back and forth with images and discussion, they agreed to replace the TV and stated they would drop off the replacement within the next week. Well. It's been 3 weeks later. I've reached out many times and still no response. To conclude, enter at your own risk if you have valuable items. I think they mean well but unfortunately they are not easy to work with if any of your items are broken or missing. I'm highly disappointed and regretting using their service. read more

I have moved every 1-2 years over the last 20 years due to work and this was the worst move I have ever had. This is a shame as I have used District Relocators in the past and was very satisfied. However, this move was unorganized from the beginning as they kept pressuring me to change my moving time outside of the time frame provided when booking the move. I finally agreed as they were just supposed to prepare and wrap the furniture in my apartment since I didn't have the freight elevator reserved, but instead they stole the freight elevator from someone else and began moving my things anyway. The movers were completely unprofessional. Due to their neglect there was significant damage to my household goods, many boxes destroyed as well as numerous broken items. They also put a huge gouge in my living room floor when moving the sofa. I purchased several wardrobe boxes and the movers were so careless that bar and clothes were all at the bottom of those boxes which completely defeats the purpose. The really sad part is that despite being a loyal customer for years and voicing my concerns they put me off for months and then refused to offer any compensation to make things right. read more

I had a great experience with DR from the initial phone call to the move itself. I appreciated getting a quote over the phone. I really do hate having to fill out online forms and waiting for a quote. Speaking with an actual human being at the beginning helped me remember furniture items I was forgetting that needed to be included for an accurate price, we discussed discounts, and other details. My movers (Mike, Akeem, and Greg) were professional and friendly (even being kind to my cute and occasionally bothersome dog). They made a troubling time in my life as pleasant as it could be. My only complaint, was that the work order did not indicate the the two locations that I specified during my initial phone call and the subsequent confirmation call. I told the moving crew the day of, and we got everything sorted quickly and efficiently. I will recommend DR if asked, and I will use them in the future. read more

We had a very good experience with the District team. They were on time and quick. I've recommended them to several now.

The scheduling staff was super accommodating and flexiable. Their communications and follow up were timely and easy to understand, they even checked in on Sunday for the Mon move. The moving team worked well together making the procesd super fast. Definitely recommend them for local moves, plus the pricing was very competative. read more

Great moving company. Probably one of the most flawless moves I've ever had. The movers were very professional and I was charged exactly what was quoted to me over the phone. I was moving from the U Street Corridor to Clevleand Park. The 3-man crew managed to finish the whole move under 3 hours. I was very pleased and highly recommend them for a local move. read more

The three person team (Jay, Breon and Wes) that helped us move was amazing! They were on time, profesional, and incredibly efficient. They were able to do the entire move in less than three hours. Our furniture was well protected and our delicate pieces well taken care of. Moving has never been so easy!! Thank you, guys! read more

I just used District Relocators to move and they were very professional and got the job done quick. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to move. read more

Timeliness: 2 hours late in picking up my stuff. When I contracted them, i asked for a COI because i was not allowed to move into my new building without the insurance document. They got the document to me after 3 days and 30 minutes before my move. My building freaked out. The company also stopped answering my emails and phone calls during this time and would not give me information regarding the letter of insurance. Communication: the company all uses the exact same email address so emails get missed or ignored all the time. They also dont always answer your calls. Moving: most of my items were scratched, bent, and one was broken into pieces. This company only covers items with blankets and doesnt utilize bubble wrap at all. Many of my boxes were also flipped upside down when the boxes were clearly marked. I filed a claim about one of my items and they never responded. The movers are nice, but doesnt seem like most have much experience in moving. They are over priced in comparison to other companies and considering their low quality movers they should not be charging as much as they do. read more

I had an excellent experience with District Relocators! I needed a sentimental piece moved out of storage last minute to my home and I could not have asked for a better team to work with for this job. From the initial response and quote to meeting and working with the team, everyone was super professional and experienced. They took great care of my armoire and my floors/walls as if it was their own. They alleviated my worries and stepped up to knock this out quickly! I highly recommend them! read more

Worth every penny. These guys came and were on time, got to work right away, needed little direction, but accommodated everything that my wife and I wanted. They have great attitudes and an army of dudes that just straight up tackled my tough apartment in no time. They also moved us into an old apartment building with no elevator, and were extremely efficient about taking big pieces of furniture up stairs. They were also super fun and have a great attitudes joking with me the whole time, which makes the terrible process of moving all the better. We gave them a huge tip, and even with that they came out well under the prices quoted by all the other major movers in the city. Can't give these guys enough of a good review, and if you're ever in doubt about selecting moverstThese should be your guys. read more

I had the best experience with these movers and moving company! Kinda was so nice and accommodating to set up and schedule my nice, and the crew was just as fantastic! They went above and beyond. They were so fast and efficient, but spent their time wrapping and protecting my furniture. When I got to my new place, the old tenants left a mattress and (tricky) bed frame in the room and they disassembled it and moved my furniture in. They were very friendly and hard-working! I would highly recommend! I will be using them for my next move! read more
