This company and the owner Chris Wilson are a rogue moving company that has unethical business practices. In May, I provided an $850 deposit via Zelle to lock-in an out of state move. A day later, I was sent a text that if I send another $1,000 today I'd receive a "paid in full" receipt. I declined the offer and glad I did. I didn't receive a valid contract, no Bill of Laden, or Know My Rights as required by law. In short, I requested a refund after more upfront money was demanded. The company is refusing to refund my $850 even though no work was completed. In a conversation with Chris Wilson he said, "Thanks for donating to my boys." This seems to be the rule and not the exception for this company as other complaints also involve large deposits he doesn't refund. Upon further research, Divine Movers, has a F rating by the Better Business Bureau and is also unauthorized to move household goods by the Federal Motor Carrier Administration. read more

Chris also has problems with women who ask questions, who have a clue and do not like being lied to repeatedly. Chris attempted to negotiate separately with my husband once he discerned that I mean business. He also told my husband that he had "to get control of his wife." He also threatened my husband that he should not write a negative review of his company. The biggest question is why I selected the firm. The price seemed reasonable, he had been recommended by our realtor and I was interested in supporting a local, veteran-owned business. In retrospect I would have paid more to be moved professionally with United Vanlines, with whom I have done many moves. The fiasco began with Chris telling us that packers would come "Saturday or Sunday" in preparation for our move which was to be concluded on the following Thursday. We waited both days. Finally, my husband had to ask Chris what is going on. This would set the pattern. Chris changed plans and personnel without telling us. This was a bad sign. It also showed how little respect he has for the time of his clients. He never apologized for this or subsequent failures in communication and failures in simple truth telling. Two packers finally showed up on Monday. Both packers had inadequate supplies. They did not even have Sharpies. My husband had to go and procure them. They had inadequate boxes and kinds of boxes. They put books in large boxes which made them unwieldy to handle but also resulted in, I kid you not, breakage of book spines. I've never had my books broken during a move. A similar pattern ensued for the remaining days. Sam, a very handworker, scavenged to find used boxes, without asking us. Ordinarily I would not care. But this is the time of COVID and I was not pleased about this. On Tuesday, they had to leave early because no one could get them packing supplies. Chris denies this vehemently (as he does other truths), but he doesn't know because he was too involved with a simultaneous Maryland move to know. By the time scheduled move was to happen, the entire house was far from packed. Chris blamed it on the rain. Chris also blamed this on the fact that our closing was 3 hours later than planned. Chris make excuses rather than take responsibility. The fact is that the packers were too few, they were poorly equipped to get the job done, and Chris has shirked all responsibility for this. When I began expressing my concern on Monday and Tuesday, he condescendingly told me that "he has a system and that I need to trust him." (This was the equivalent of "Missie, don't you worry your useless head.") At first, I was cordial while indicating my dissatisfaction with this so-called system. Many of the persons in our homes were not wearing masks, another issue that Chris denies. But he wouldn't know because he wasn't there. I also expressed concern about how things were being packed. Most specifically clothes. I told him firmly that I wanted wardrobe boxes for suits and dresses. He patently refused, again after a condescending lecture on how "clothes don't need wardrobe boxes." In the end they wrapped our clothes on hangers on packing tape and plastic. This led to something I had never seen before: breakage of hangers. They did not unpack the mess they made because they couldn't: about one in four of the hangers were broken. So I had to go and buy about $60 worth of hangers to replace the ones they broke. Let that sink in: they broke hangers. The lack of care with which they moved our home was breathtaking. Countless things broke. They put packing tape directly on several antique wooden family heirlooms. It still has not come off. When we explained to Chris that this was not appropriate, he actually told us if something was sensitive, we should pack it ourselves. Professional firms have the opposite advice for clients. But Chris is not professional. When items broke during their packing, they didn't tell us and they even hid it. I found the broke stuff in the garbage. In the end, they packed most stuff and moved about 90% of the contracted items. They unpacked about 10%. We paid for a full pack, move and unpack which totaled $5750. When I explained to Chris that I am preparing an invoice FOR him for services un-rendered and told him that I will take him to small-claims court, he sent me another lie-festooned menacing email in which he said that he "will also have all of my employees testify to your vulgar sexual harassment for the entire job that made them very uncomfortable." In other words, he will bully his employees into perjuring themselves to sustain the fiction that he is a professional who does what he is paid to do. Notably, I made the breakfast for the two men on day one because there are no affordable breakfast places. I also made sure they had coffee every day until the coffee maker was packed up and I routinely checked on them if they needed water etc. Chris Wilson, who owns Divine Movers, is a breathtaking scoundrel. read more

Christopher Wilson, was referred by my son who helped him and his family. He told how thankful. He would take care of me. He then requested I send a upfront fee of $875. before the job can be started and the balance when complete. I did. I cash app him on 6.30.2022. This guy talked to me up until he got my money. He made excuses about not receiving my request through his website (but the site acknowledged?). On 7/2/2022 I texted him at 6am to say I was on my way. Never heard anything. We were scheduled for 8am. At 8:20 am no show. Called Christopher. He did not answer. After I texted him. He text me back to say He cancelled the job because did not sign the contract (but He had and still my money)? Felt no obligation receiving my money via cash app. cash app lets you know in minutes money was sent. Which was never communicated as a stipulation. I requested my money to be returned immediately. He texted to say it will take 30 days. I am still waiting for my money it has been over thirty days (8.05.2022). What a Christian man, Military man "honorable" ? I am a Veteran myself/Christian. Served my country and family. Never felt so comfortable and this guy to disrespect my God, family and my country. I am suggesting to anyone reading this be ware he has no moral compass to family nor community. Next stop court. read more

It's taken me a long time to write this review because I wanted to approach it unemotionally and also present all of my facts precisely and fairly. I'll start here. I would not recommend this moving company to anyone. They did not show up to move me and they did not return my deposit as they claim I was the one who broke the contract. I first contacted Chris Wilson at Divine Movers around March 15th for a move on Memorial Day May 30th. I knew that would be a tough day to move as it was the end of the month and movers would be in high demand. Chris assured me this would not be a problem. We went back and forth a bit as the contract he sent over kept having missing or incorrect information so I'd would ask him to fix. Eventually I signed the contract on March 16th, a contract that did not have very many details. The entire scope of work was summarized as follows "Professional prep and Long distance move. All materials included". I hear nothing from Chris until I email him on May 23rd. He tells me we are all good to go and he'll be at my home at 8 am with 4 movers. I don't hear anything else from Chris until May 29th May 29th, the day before the move, Chris texts me and asks for an additional deposit (this should have been a red flag to me but he claimed it was due to severe increase in fuel costs, which at the time was happening). I send over the money. May 29th at 2:07 he sends me a request for a video of my home showing how the packing was going. I send over a video at 3:14. The house is admittedly still a work in progress but close to being packed to a standard that I have used in the past, we also were planning on working the rest of the day to finish. He responds by saying that much more consolidation is required and sends me some examples of what he expects the house to look like. Keep in mind that this is the day before. He could have sent those examples months earlier giving us adequate time to prepare to his standards. He follows up by asking if we had flexibility in our moving date because it looks like we'll need more time to pack to his expectations. We of course don't have that flexibility, so we called in friends to help us pack, scrambled to find many more boxes, stayed up until midnight and get up at 6 am to try to pack the way he said we needed to. I send him an additional video at 10 pm (thinking it better to not send a video too late) showing him the progress and letting him know we weren't done. By 8 am our house was very well packed. We put everything in a cardboard box as instructed. The things we couldn't fit in cardboard boxes we set aside to go into our own vehicles as Chris said he was only insured to move items that fit into carboard boxes in addition to furniture. 8 o'clock comes with no sign of Chris. I don't receive any contact from Chris until 9:09 am when he tells me he won't be able to move us that day as A. the amount of boxes and furniture is greater that the estimate and B. we didn't properly prepare for the move. He offered to change the date and bring in additional movers but of course we had to move that day. Keep in mind he was the one who provided us the estimate/quote. Also, he was never in my home to make his assessments and simply did so via video. If in fact he underestimated how much stuff we had and therefore had a truck that was too small, it would have been understandable. We begged him to come and move as much stuff as he could fit into his truck as possible and we could move the rest into a family members garage ourself. The entire time he would not answer my phone calls and only communicated via text. But he never came to our house. I think it's most likely that Chris did not himself adequately prepare for this move, either because he didn't have access to the truck or helpers that he needed. If the final video I sent at 10 pm was truly the deciding factor in not moving us, then logic would say that he would have texted or called me sometime before 8 am telling me he had woken up to get the truck, watched the video and decided he couldn't move us. Once again keep in mind the contract did not specify anything about quantity stuff or preparedness of that stuff. I wish I could remember for sure, because I contacted a half dozen moving companies, but I'm pretty sure I sent Chris a video of my house in early March for him to make his estimate. Either way what I'm certain of is I spoke to Chris on the phone, to discuss my move, I was open an upfront about my stuff, and he provided the estimate. Chris was in the drivers seat the whole time, he determined that he was able to do the job on March 15th and I signed the contract on March 16th. And once again didn't inform me of exactly how he expected the house to look until less than 24 hours before the move. Research has shown that he has done this to other people, and worse. He did send me back my second deposit but not my first. read more

We used Chris Wilson of "Divine Movers," "River District Movers," or whatever other name he chooses to use in the future. I was shocked at the level of immaturity and unprofessionalism shown towards us. We paid for moving and storage services in advance. We worked our schedules around his own. In return, we were verbally yelled at, insulted and told it was none of our business when we inquired as to WHY we could not receive our property. Chris Wilson initially scheduled the return of our property a week later than we requested but in the end it was MORE THAN A MONTH before we finally received it. Our special needs son was asking about his Gamecube on a daily basis. I was unable to prepare meals since all of our kitchen items were packed up. We did not know what was happening with our precious photos, antiques and furniture. This went on for a MONTH. No apologies from Mr. Wilson. No explanations. Just yelling and "None of your business!" Chris Wilson put packing tape on a piece of antique furniture that has permanently damaged it. However, we are just thankful that we have it back. Needless to say, I would NOT choose to do business with this person ever again. It does not matter the name of the business, if Chris Wilson is affiliated with it you need to be on guard. read more

Do not use Divine Movers or River...something or other. Chris is a liar and unprofessional. He asked for pictures of me - creepy. He doesn't need to know what I look like. Creepy. He promised to be at my house at 9am on a Tuesday. I texted him less than 24 hours prior and he said yes he would be there - now he said between 9a - 10a. I wasn't pleased, said fine. The morning of, he texted said he didn't know when he'd get there; not even an estimated time. I advised I HAD to be in my new city by 4 p (3hour drive.) He said he couldn't help that he couldn't give me a time or that he couldn't meet his agreed upon time. What???? How is it not your fault? I had to hire another mover and paid an arm and a leg to ensure I got to my destination on time. He texted at 1p and said he was free then. I was already en route by then. He promised a full refund. It's been 15 days with zero refund. He kept sending invoices saying I owed a balance. I went to the BBB to file a complaint. He finally stopped the invoices but threatened me - via text - that he would send the invoice to a collection's agency if I didn't cancel the complaint. I have proof he promised a full refund and then threatened me. Unprofessional, a liar and creepy. Do not use his company. By the way, he has an F rating under his previous company's name with the BBB. Stay away. He lied about providing a service and giving a refund. read more

We were scheduled to move at 8 am on Sunday, we received a call at 8:05am telling us they couldn't move us due to mechanical issues with their truck so we rescheduled for 11:30 am the next day. When no one had showed up or called by 11:45, we called them & were told that the job before ours had run over but since it was so close to lunchtime, we would be their first job after lunch. He told us he would call us back within 30 minutes to give us an estimated time of arrival...no call came. When again, no one had called or shown up by around 3pm, we again called & were told they were coming soon. This continued until around 5:00 when we finally sent a text stating if some one didn't show up within the next 30 minutes we were calling the police (the movers had been paid in advance for their services), still no one showed up!!! We were actually dialing the police when they called, saying that they had gone on to another job and thankfully refunded my daughter the full amount she had paid. I don't believe this would have happened had we not threatened to call the law. My daughter took time off from work to move & get organized and this company wasted 2 of her days off jerking us around!!! Would not recommend using this company!!! read more

We used Chris Wilson, the owner of Divine Movers and River District Movers, for a last minute move in April. At first Mr. Wilson was very helpful and accomadating. He got us moved on a short notice. We decided to utilize his storage facility as well and here's where the problems started. We paid Mr. Wilson in full, for both the move and storage, up front so no monies were owed. We requested to have our property returned and were given a "firm" date and time. However, at the last minute, Mr. Wilson cancelled. We had arranged our schedule to accomodate the time he gave so I asked why the cancellation. His response was "None of your business". Going from there we were given four more "definite" and "firm" dates and times only to be cancelled on, last minute, each time. Waiting a month for the return of our property was extremely stressful and inconvenient. We felt as though it was being held hostage. After the 4th cancellation we consulted with local law enforcement as to our options. Finally, a month after our initial request, our property was returned. Upon inspection of our furniture we found an antique corner cupboard had been improperly taped so we're now left with permanent faded marks across the front. Regardless the name Chris Wilson may use, Divine Movers or River District Movers, this is the individual you're doing business with. Beware!! In his business description Mr. Wilson states he "treats your property as his own". I'd say this is true because he didn't want to give ours back. If you value your property look elsewhere for a reliable, professional mover. read more

I had to hire a mover with short notice to get our furniture and boxes out of storage into a house we had just rented. Divine Movers was highly flexible, even moving us on the 4th of July to get it done as quickly as possible, and worked efficiently and carefully. I couldn't believe how rapidly and well it was all done. Super nice folks too. Chris is a professional; he has clearly done this many, many times and knows exactly what needs to be done. read more

I used Divine Movers for a July 1st move, right before the holiday weekend. The owner scheduled me in at the last minute, and had me moved within two hours. He is a master of packing too, and managed to fit everything into my smallish UHaul. Excellent all-around experience. read more
