We hired GMS and were so pleased with all of their services so far. Reasonable priced, great and clear communications, and were able to accommodate our changes with ease. The 2 men who came to move our things into their storage were exceptionally polite, fast, careful, and safe (face masks) at all times. They documented all of our belongings in an inventory sheet for us, as well. Very impressive all around! read more

Easily one of the worst moving experiences I've had in the US was with Global Moving Systems. I was moving from Arlington, VA all the way to California and searched extensively on Yelp for movers with good reviews. My interaction with Global Moving Systems started off great, with Eugene being very responsive and coming to do a free inspection of our apartment in Arlington promptly. I was happy with the rate and expected good service based on the reviews here. I booked them for full packing and moving. Three packers arrived at my apartment on the move date and started packing at about 9am. The guys left the apartment at 11 pm. We brought the guys lunch, gave them cake etc to eat and kept on bringing them coffee. While I don't mind people eating from my kitchen, I did think it would have been nice if they asked before consuming every last bottle of flavored water in my fridge (two of which I had saved for my husband and myself). They even ate cooking chocolate fro my cabinets while packing my kitchen. The most annoying thing was that the three movers asked for a specific amount of tip at 11 pm. I only had so much cash on my hand but they were not willing to leave till we paid them the specified amount of tip. So much so that they went to the ATM with my husband and made sure he withdrew the right amount of money. Fast forward three weeks later in CA, we were given no notice when our stuff would be delivered. One morning the driver called while we were at work and said he could only come the next morning or at 6pm the same day. After a lot of back and forth where we tried to tell him we can't reach home before 7pm, he finally agreed to come at 6:30 pm. My husband and I rushed back home with our four month old on the metro but due to train delays we were 25 minutes late. The driver called us at 6:30 asking us where we were. When we told him our train was running late, the guy starting shouting on the phone. Great customer service! Finally, there were two guys who showed up for the unpacking. One of those guys was some retired local person the driver had picked up on Craigslist. The poor guy was panting while carrying our stuff and had no idea what he was doing. Ultimately the driver left in a hurry after unloading the truck and didn't assemble all the things they had disassembled in Arlington, even though that was part of the contract. read more

Global Moving Systems - Office table not assembled. The guy didn't even take his blanket. - Movers Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

When it comes to moving, I highly recommend using this company. Eugene (the owner) helped me out when I needed someone to transfer a coffee table to my home. He was extremely responsive, professional and even called me to follow up with my move. I highly recommend them when it comes to your moving. It's so stressful to depends on someone else, and you want someone you can trust. Thank you very much! read more

Bill and AK arrived on time and moved quickly. They wrapped things and loaded up without issues and unloaded the same way. Pleasant and professional. read more

The best moving company in the area so far! Unfortunately, I had to move a lot (sometimes unexpectedly due to unfortunate curcumstances) and Evgeniy (the owner) and his team were always there for me! I have a very big and heavy white bedroom set that I always take with me everywhere I move. My bedroom set is still in the same condition. They have the best prices and most importantly, they are honest. Evgeniy truly cares about his customers and always follows up. The movers are quick, attentive, and very careful with the furniture. They make sure that the customer is happy. 4th time using their services. I hope that you will have the same moving experience with Global Systems Moving Company as me! read more

Overall a smooth experience right from securing a Quote till the final delivery. Diago, Jiji and Jose were amazing. Thanks for the great service! read more

This company was great UNTIL they damaged my practically brand new sofa during the move. I had taken great care to fully wrap my sofa in foam padding and plastic prior to the movers' arrival. And when they finally got to it, I specifically told them to use furniture blankets as well if it would help protect it further. They insisted the furniture blankest were unnecessary. Then, when the movers set my sofa down in my new apartment and started to walk away (hoping I wouldn't notice anything), I saw that the plastic wrap and foam padding I had secured around the sofa was torn through in one spot and underneath it the couch itself was ripped. The upholstery on one corner of the sofa arm was torn and the upholstery staples were ripped out and bent backwards. When I pointed this out to the movers, they tried to say it wasn't a big deal and tried pushing it back in. Given the strength of those staples, they had to have forcibly shoved the sofa through an opening in order to rip it apart so badly. I'm super disappointed at the lack of care taken for my belongings. They also ignored the "Fragile" and "Do not crush" I had written on a few boxes because during their first trip from my apartment to load the moving truck, they stacked a bunch of the boxes on a hand truck and proceeded to roll/drop it stair by stair with the contents audibly rattling with each stair they descended - due to my thorough pre-packing and bubble wrapping, none of the contents broke but I couldn't believe they proceeded to do this down 4 flights of stairs given how terrible and precarious it sounded. After that first trip, they carried the rest of the boxes by hand. I would NOT recommend GMS if you're worried about your belongings getting damaged. read more

See all

All in all good people and an excellent value for your money. Helped out with a commercial move from VA to NYC that involved following many specific instructions. They were very attentive to the requests of my staff and did an amazing job wrapping all of the items and fragile electronics. In the end, the move was completed in a professional and timely manner with no hidden surprises, upcharges, or drama. As we've settled into the office, I still hear from my staff how amazing these guys are. Hopefully, we don't move for a while, but when we do - Global Moving Systems will be the go-to movers. read more

Amazing work, nothing was broken, very polite. I totally recommend them. Im very pleased read more

Moving is stressful but so much less so when you have great help. Nagi, Kamila, Gelermon were an amazing team. They were efficient, thorough, and kind. The truck was the perfect size, they protected all of my furniture, and were very communicative about making sure to unload my stuff in the right room. I highly recommend this crew! read more

Update: I actually did call the next day to advise I was still missing items. You gave me $100 which in hindsight was not even close to the cost of the things your guys destroyed, not limited to my personal belongings as well as the floor trim of my condo in VA that was ripped out of the wall. So yes, I still maintain your guys DID NOT CARE. When you locate my missing items that did not make it to NY please get in touch. There was nothing fictional about my review. Honesty hurts, especially since you called to presumably get me to take it down & find a way to "fix this" or however you put it. I do not want your money-- I honestly do not want anyone to ever have to endure what I did with your company. The worst. Don't do it. Context: This move was from Old Town Alexandria to New York City. Short version: you get what you pay for. The price was right but I got completely unprofessional movers with no regard for my belongings whatsoever. Long version: started out great-- I'm told whether I have 6 or 600 items it's a flat fee and a 16ft truck. Wow, what a deal! They ask to load up the truck the night before my scheduled move. Ok sure I guess. They call and ask if I have a lot of stuff to which I answered "yes". They show up with a huge (~30 ft ? truck) that is 3/4 of the way full. Hmm, no chance everything is fitting in there. But first they ask if I have any water. Okay, everything I own is packed & I haven't retained anything for myself but sure, here's some water. These three guys-- WOW! Talk about moving at a glacial speed. I'll call them brains and two bodies because my mother & I weighing in at a combined 240 lbs could have moved more items faster than the two bodies. Then the brains briefly said they wouldn't disassemble some crappy furniture. Isn't that your job? Very confusing. They found a way. Except didn't matter because they broke it anyway (and did later give me some money, thank you for that). Everything was moved ignoring vertical arrows, big bold fragile, this end up, etc. Parts of shelves flying all over the place, nuts, bolts, screws falling out, my condo floor trim ripped from the wall in multiple places, fragile items tossed around with complete disregard. Really frustrating. Had I known my belongings were going to be loaded and unloaded twice and haphazardly tossed and smushed, and left in a parking lot for half the day while they tried to make them fit in a truck that wasn't the truck I was told I would have, I never would have agreed to them coming earlier. It was very misleading and I felt completely taken advantage of. Fast forward about 5 hours later. They've been playing Tetris with my belongings in my condo parking lot because it won't all fit. Weird because I asked at least half a dozen times if it all would fit. They start to strap my mattress and boxspring to the exterior of the truck to drive it to their "office". It starts raining. Rain or not, it was completely inappropriate and unacceptable for them to do this. The "brains" here Chris says it's only a short distance. Are you kidding me? He then tells me my mattress isn't worth very much anyway. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! At this point I lost my mind and called Eugene, who ultimately showed up in the 16 ft truck I was told I'd get. This was about 9:30 pm. Eugene said he'd probably be the one coming to NY the next day. Next day: leave two messages to get ETA. No response. Have to call Chris from yesterday who answered right away so redeeming point there and shortly thereafter I get a call saying they'll be there around 2pm. Part of the reason for the night before loading was so they could get there at noon. Logistically, I went above and beyond to make sure the truck had direct parking on a busy NY street-- we borrowed a DUMP TRUCK to hold them a spot. Not an easy task to keep on the street from 7am- noon, much less 2pm. I have squandered my resources in NY because this moving company IS THE WORST. Blood boiling at this point. They show up around 3 pm. The guys moving in were a million times better than the ones on Friday however Eugene said he'd be there and he wasn't so I felt less confident in all of this. Naturally, all the nuts, bolts, etc. I saw flying around my parking lot the day before were missing. The movers didn't seem to care. No bolts to put this entertainment center together, they don't care. Table ruined-- dirty and stained by something in a box they broke, they don't care. Also, a bunch of stuff is just not there. Didn't make it-- must still be in the warehouse they say. If they find it they'll send it up next weekend with another move!? This is just stuff I noticed, no clue what I might be overlooking! WOW. Unreal. Shady. You get the point. In summary, I would be more inclined to take a month off of work and move my belongings via rickshaw all by myself before I hired this company again. read more

I hired them late June for a 1 bedroom local moving, three men crew at Saturday afternoon. It was a very nice experience working with then. The job was done quickly and everything was good. read more

The workers who did the actual moving were excellent (Tyler, Roman, and Mr Bat). They were very courteous and hardworking. However, I requested a move from my 2-bedroom place but the work order stated that I only had a 1-bedroom apt. Subsequently the truck they sent was too small to move my stuff in one trip. The extra trip cost me $500. I think this was an honest mistake, but please make sure that you check the work order closely to make sure they have the right size/rooms to move before the day of the move. read more

I used them last weekend for a fairly big move from a townhouse to a single family home. For the most part they did a good job. Pros: Nothing broken, lead for the job great at packing, efficient and very helpful. All 3 were hard workers Cons: The other 2 guys didn't speak english or the same language as each other so they didn't understand the lead or each other. My dining table ended up on the 3rd floor, everything from the office was on 2nd floor ended up on another floor and needed to get moved and I'm still finding things in different rooms and floors regardless of the boxes being labeled. They would continue to say "okay" to everything but didn't understand. I would have been happy to label rooms if I knew this was a problem. I don't know if I would use them again as they got the job done, but we lost of a lot of time and have to still move things around. I did call the company on Monday after the move, they said they were sorry and would call me back, but unfortunately I didn't hear back. read more

Moved us out of the area. Very organized and efficient crew! They worked hard and never slowed down. Highly recommend!

Nagi and his team did a good job. They are efficient and professional. Quote was clear. Basic Insurance covers $.60 /lb included. Will use service again. read more

Yizhak and Dave were my movers today and they did an excellent job moving all my heavy furniture up two flights of stairs into my new townhome! Everything was well protected and they were quick and courteous. Very happy with them and will definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

Alex and his team did an AMAZING job for our move last weekend. We moved from a townhome to a bigger house, his team was so professional and patient. They were very careful with furniture and wrapped everything to make sure there were no scratches on anything. The team was very polite and accommodated all our requests. I'm very pleased with the service. I would recommend them to anyone. Note to movers: Estimate your moving weight so you know exactly how many movers you need. In retrospect we probably needed a 4-man crew because it took longer to move. The team did a great job and I'm so happy with my experience with global moving systems. Thanks Alex and Team for a wonderful move and Stefan for getting me set up for the move so fast (within 2 days)! read more

Baynaa and his crew were great. They called in the morning to inform us of their arrival time. Crew arrived on time and packed up our 3 bedroom condo in 4 1/2 hours. They were meticulous in their protection packing of our entire contents. The crew were professional and courteous and respectful of the house and contents. Would definitely recommend this crew for all future moves. read more

Global Moving Systems was fantastic! They were efficient, friendly, fast, helpful and careful with our furniture and boxes. I cannot speak more highly of the person who handled the scheduling and cost estimating and the team that moved us. I will definitely be using them on our next move! read more

Services were absolutely phenomenal. I had to call a few times, with different questions that came up, and the person answering the phone was extremely patient, kind, and responsive. Booking was easy and straightforward, and they gave me a very reasonable quote range. Fast forward: the movers arrived within the window of time quoted. Very professional and speedy, but not careless with any items. They were very responsive and accommodating when we asked for a couple of items to be wrapped a bit differently, to ensure safe travel. Most of my items weren't too heavy/large, except for one bulky armoire that they still moved well. Final cost was at the more expensive side of the quote range, but that happens with moving. Absolutely no complaints for this company, would definitely recommend and be using them again (but hopefully not too soon! :)). read more

I have used GMS for my last three moves, which should be a testament to their quality and reliability. In my most recent move this June, Rush and Vladimir were amazing. They came on-time, prepared with blankets and tape and necessary protective equipment. They loaded up quickly and consulted with us throughout the process on specific items to make sure they got everything needed. We moved out of an elevator apartment into a 4-level townhome. Rush and Vlad worked tirelessly to move a number of very heavy and awkward items to the very top level and were careful not to damage walls or ceilings in the process. I am extremely happy with the move and the team. Will absolutely recommend to others that need a reliable mover. read more

I highly recommend Global Moving System. No hidden fees and fast responses! The moving crew (Rush, Naagi, and Kamila) worked fast and all items were packed and delivered without damage. Thank you. read more

Just had Rush and Baina help me move long distance from DC to Boston. Both were helpful, extremely responsive with updates and tracking details, and knocked out my whole move in under an hour on both ends. Really impressed with their professionalism and willingness to be flexible as my schedule changed. Anna as well was amazing with coordinating!! 10/10 and will be recommending to all of my friends looking to move read more

I have used global moving two times and both times they have done excellent job. They came on time, moved the household items dry nicely and their charges were very reasonable. People who came to move the items were very professional. I would recommend this company highly and use them again if I need to move. read more

They moved furniture from my old house to a storage and were then supposed to move it to my new house. But ripped the carpet and damaged the star rails and the walls along the staircase... and when I told Anna about it and said what could we do becuase I don't want to damage the new house she replied with, I cannot guarantee no damage but ask them to be careful read more

These guys did a fantastic job! They were fast, efficient, and friendly. Our furniture was all placed exactly where we asked it to be, as well as our boxes. It helped that we had everything clearly labeled! Reason I took one star away was that they came at 2:30 when my husband was told a start time between 12:30 and 1:00. They sent a third guy, though, which was amazing! read more

Moving is stressful but Global Moving made it easy. I needed movers and booked with them that week. Everything was emailed to me and confirmed using their online portal. A deposit was needed paid over the phone and everything was in order and ready to go. The movers arrived on time from DC to Philadelphia and gathered my belongings and met me in DC to unload. They even offered to help me move things from my own car. They made it very easy and was happy with the service. At the end I signed completed payment and was unpacking in no time. I would recommend using on your next move. Thanks! read more

The best way to describe this service is that it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't amazing either. The movers arrived late after getting lost, but once they arrived everything moved fairly smoothly. We were particularly frustrated to learn mid-move that certain glass pieces would need packing products at an additional charge (we have two glass top tables and glass shelving in the TV stand.) The crew did help us figure out a less expensive alternative - also we decided to take some items ourselves. At the end of the move we also incurred surcharges for the use of tape for furniture. Not the end of the world, but also left us a little annoyed. Many of the challenges that came up might have been avoided if we could have accessed the pre-move inventory (could never manage to use that feature, though it was promised when we signed up for the move). I also feel like we were partly to blame because we couldn't provide an accurate picture of what we had. Do have to give kudos to the team for hanging in for a long day and getting all of our items from point A to point B safely. read more

A couple of my neighbors have used or will be using these guys and recommended them to me. I was easily able to schedule the appointment over the phone and received a quote that was way lower than the cheapest estimate I received from five different moving companies. On the day of the move they showed up promptly at the scheduled time and were able to complete what was expected to be a 4-5 hour move in just over 3 hours - thus making the already attractive price even better. The movers were friendly and professional and took great care with my personal items. I will definitely be recommending them and in fact, have a friend that will be using them for her move in June/July. read more

I have moved about 4 times and this was by far the best that I've had. Getting started was super easy and Anna always sent me emails when my move was approaching. She gave me a 2 hour window for the movers to arrive (8-10am). They came closer to 10am, which wasn't bad, but I wish they were there at 8 or 8:30am. I had 3 movers and they were all very nice. The definitely knew how to hustle. They moved my items out of my 2 bedroom apartment in about 1 hour. They got to my next destination (a storage unit) before I did, so they definitely weren't wasting any time. They were also very quick in unloading the truck. The only thing that was disappointing, was that they damaged some of my items. My bookshelf that had lasted for all 4 moves, was now broken. :( The other thing that was upsetting, was how they stacked my boxes. I have all my boxes clearly labeled. So I would expect movers to not stack a heavy box on top of a box marked Wine Glasses & Fragile. I had to rearrange the boxes that they were unloading and tell them where to place the items in the storage unit. The also tried to stack items on my dining room table that would have definitely scratched it. It makes me a bit nervous about how things were packed into the truck. Other than that, the move was very good. I would use them again, but definitely give directions on how to move every single item. read more

My wife and I just moved out of our 1BR Apt in DC and had a great experience with Global Moving Systems. Andrew and Enkhe were quick and efficient movers, who managed to move all our belongings carefully and efficiently. Would highly recommend Global Moving Systems and these two wonderful gentlemen. read more

Item handling- The movers were quick and took great care of my things, and they handled fragile items better than I did. (When I would say "should I put this here?" they would say "no no, let's wrap it first and find somewhere more secure.) That's my kinda mover! Scheduling- Their system makes it easy to get an estimate and schedule a date. I spoke with Evgeny and explained my limited budget. He gave me tips on how to prep so that the move would be quicker and was creative in working within my budget. In the end, the cost was less than the estimate. Cost- I got quotes from 8-10 different movers and Global was the most fair-priced. All fees/discounts were accurate, with no surprise "gotcha" fees, so all I had to do was sign and go. My only gripe is that they charge a 6% credit card fee when the credit card company charges 3%, but they did tell me about this ahead of time and I just didn't get a chance to get cash. I will definitely hire them again. You should hire them too. read more

We had an amazing experience with Global and incredible service from Rush and his crew specifically. We called on a Thursday needing parking and moving on that Saturday and Sunday! It was a very immediate need and they were quick to get everything locked in fast. Where the crew arrived, they were easy to work with, fast and efficient. It made our last minute move a breeze! Thanks so much! read more

I made about a 21 mile move and they were late without a call however they did come and were very quick and organized . The movers are very careful and straight to business . I moved from a two bedroom space to 4 levels and the move took less than an hour to unload . Worth the price ! read more

Erik and his team (Tomas & Vadim) crushed my move in under 3.5 hours. I was drawn to the Global Moving based on their stellar rating on yelp and requested a quote. Within an hour I had an email from their office and they were calling me to set up my move. I had a narrow window to move and they were move than accommodating. I request quotes from a few other places and they were the cheapest of the 5 star movers I contacted. They showed up to my 4 level townhouse with tight, turning stairwells and long walks in their 24" truck and had my furniture moved complete out of my place in 1.5 hours with barely a mark on the walls . I originally assumed it would take them at least 5 hours total as it was about that when I moved in, but there was little time wasted getting me settled. Once we arrived at my new place, they didn't skip a beat and were finished in about an hour. Couldn't have been happier. They took great care of all my belongings and will definitely be using them again for my parents impending move and when my GF moves in this June.... if she makes it that long... hahaha. read more

Rush and Gulermo were so fantastic in our move! They went above and beyond to help make our move as easy as possible and even tightened some screws on our furniture! Highly recommend. read more

I had a great experience with Global! They were prompt, professional, and very patient. Alfred and his team were very kind and made the moving process super easy. Thank you Global! read more

They showed up 45mins late and the truck was too small. I had a time slot from 10am-1pm for the loading dock at my new apartment which we almost completely missed. They got to the dock at 12:30, about 15 minutes after I got there. Because of this, we had to complete with other residents for the elevator.The quality of work declined as time went on. They spent a lot of time talking which slowed them down. Finally the lead mover rushed through the signature paperwork at the end which I could've contested but I was so over situation. I just wanted to be done so that I could finish the rest of the move myself. Upon further inspection, I noticed that a lot of my items had been scratched. Never again! read more

What can I say other than they were perfect? I only booked days before the move and the person I spoke to was responsive and courteous. The communication on the morning of the move was excellent, the movers were efficient and careful even though they had to make several stops. It is so rare in the world now to be able to give such a positive review to a company, but in this case Global deserves it! read more
