JK Moving provided the best moving experience I've ever had. They packed my items with extreme care and labeled every box. The next day, the movers only had to move the boxes and large items like furniture. Everyone - from the office staff and the estimator to the packers and movers were absolutely professional and efficient. They even unpacked all the boxes, put the contents on counters, and took away the moving materials. I could not ask for a better business. A+++ read more

Like others have said, they have surprise fees. The movers are impressive and work hard, but the sales consultant stops caring as soon as you sign the contract and the coordinator is absolutely useless when it comes to support. Just because they're established and highly rated does not correlate with the experience we had spending over $5k on the minimum weight for an out of state move. Here are the extra charges: Single-Factor Packing - 3 Cu. Carton - $26.18 / ea Single-Factor Packing - Dishpack. - $72.36 / ea Single-Factor Packing - Mirror Carton - $62.94 / ea They charged us $800 a few days later after we already tipped $500. During the moving process, without asking, they would pack 2 pillows into a box ($26.18), 2 fake plants ($72.36), 3 cheap Amazon canvases ($62.94), etc. I assumed this was free since cheaper companies in the past would just wrap things like this in blankets for us for free. This is the best response they could come up with: "Since the packing was completed without an opportunity to address these concerns with the crew at the time of service, we are unable to make any additional adjustments to those charges." How am I supposed to address concerns for charges that haven't been disclosed yet? read more

While I was tentative with the reviews on Yelp I saw positive ones elsewhere and we decided to use JK. We had a fantastic experience for our recent home move. We have moved 11 times in the past 20 years and I think this is the first time we've had a move without any damages. The Team that helps you set up for success. Does a very good job Being so sorrow to provide an accurate quote. They are very friendly and responsive. The team that showed up the day of the move, took care of our belongings as if it was their own and was meticulous about protecting not only the house during the move, but everything in it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional mover with thought and care. They are definitely on my speed dial if we have to move again. read more

JK Moving Services - Movers Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

See all

The actual movers are the best part of this company. the company itself? Too focused on raking money in and not enough in customers. A low-balled estimate to pull you in, followed by surprise fees. If you choose them (I don't recommend), be sure to note that their policy for storage includes charging a full month if your storage goes past the 5th of the month. You can start on day 28 and end on the 6th of the following month, and you'll have to pay for two full months. My furniture was damaged. Their response: You didn't purchase our insurance so tough luck. All moving companies are taking advantage of your stress and anxiety that comes with any move. This one has it down to a science. read more

We chose JK Moving because of its reputation for quality and care, which makes our experience all the more disappointing. Our belongings were loaded in Chantilly, VA, on May 30. The moving truck arrived already more than one-third full with another customer's shipment. About five hours into loading, it became clear that everything would not fit. The driver asked to place some of our belongings on the truck's exterior tailgate platform. I reluctantly agreed only to outdoor furniture because, by that point, we had little choice. Our belongings were being moved into storage, and the crew knew this. When we finally unpacked several weeks later, we discovered just how far the crew had gone to make everything fit. Without our knowledge or permission, at least five wardrobe boxes had been unpacked. Professionally cleaned and pressed clothing was removed, rolled in packing paper, and stuffed into open spaces throughout the truck. More than 40 dress shirts, numerous formal dresses, and nearly all of our hanging clothes were left badly wrinkled. We also discovered that a box of clothing had been transported outside the truck, despite my specifically saying that no clothing should be placed there. The crew also dismantled nearly every piece of furniture that could be taken apart--including items that clearly did not need to be. Table and chair legs were removed, a small kitchen table was disassembled down to its hinges, and even the shelves inside our refrigerator were removed so boxes could be packed inside it. Because our belongings were delivered into storage rather than our home, no one from JK returned to reassemble these items, leaving us to spend many hours doing it ourselves. Ironically, the estimate and price we paid included delivery into our new home and reassembly of everything the crew took apart. This experience left us with the impression that many of these decisions were driven by the lack of space on the truck rather than by proper care of our belongings. Unpacking our clothing without permission, transporting items outside the truck after we specifically objected, and unnecessarily dismantling furniture created a tremendous amount of extra work and frustration. Based on our experience, the level of care we received fell far short of the premium service we expected from JK Moving. I have sent them photos along with this review and haven't had any response. read more

Movers were really good but everything else was bad. I've used JK moving several times over the past 13 years and I would say their quality of service has gone way down hill. The actual cost was significantly higher than the estimate. The movers took their time to make it an exact 8 hour day. A sentimental fragile piece of art is Missing and they can't find it. They've outsourced their move coordinators and they are terrible. Look elsewhere too expensive for what you get, I won't recommend them again even though I was a big fan. read more

This is what I communicated to the Military moving company about my experience with JK moving... I provided this in an email. Overall disappointed with the move in experience. ---- I have gone back and forth about sending this email. My father was a truck driver, so I understand the sacrifices drivers make to provide for their families. I know what it means to spend weeks away from home, and I would never want to take food off anyone's table. At the same time, I don't want another service member and their family to experience what my family experienced during our delivery. My hope is that this feedback results in additional training so that no other military family has to go through this. This has been, by far, the worst move-in experience we've ever had. The packing process was excellent, and the communication leading up to delivery was outstanding. Unfortunately, the delivery and unloading process took a significant toll on my entire family, especially my wife and our two young children. During the delivery, the driver and the unloading crew argued with one another in front of my wife. They openly discussed mileage pay and whether the workers were even going to be paid for the work they were doing. My wife was left wondering whether they expected her to compensate them herself. No customer should be put in that position, especially someone who is alone with two young children. The crew also arrived without the proper tools to assemble our furniture. I understand that accidents happen during a move, and I can accept that some items may be damaged. I'll tighten my children's bikes and reassure them they'll still be able to ride them. But the issues went well beyond normal wear and tear. Mirrors were laid on their sides, the legs on our sofa are pulling loose because the screws are left unscrewed, our table was left supported by a box because it wasn't properly assembled, and damaged and there are numerous other damages and unfinished items that we will document through the military claims process. What disappointed me most was the lack of care shown toward my wife. She was alone with our children, and instead of taking the time to place items where requested and complete the furniture assembly, the crew rushed to leave around 3:00 p.m. They hurried her through signing the paperwork, and because she isn't a confrontational person, it felt as though that was taken advantage of so they could leave as quickly as possible. The most upsetting part was that they made no meaningful effort to assemble my son's bed. I can overlook accidents and even disagreements among a crew, but when it directly affects children--when my son can't sleep in his own bed after moving into a new home--that crosses a line. At the same time, my wife was left installing the legs on our daughter's dresser and moving heavy furniture herself. If the crew had been working into the evening and simply ran out of time, I could understand. But to leave so much unfinished so early in the day is extremely disappointing. We will be documenting the damages and submitting our claim through the military claims process. Unfortunately, that process won't undo the stress, frustration, and disappointment my family experienced. I genuinely hope this feedback reaches JK Moving's leadership. My goal is not to punish anyone, but to ensure another military family doesn't have the same experience. More than anything, I wish someone from your company would come back, complete the furniture assembly, and correct what was left unfinished. Finally, I owe my own family an apology. Because of my military service and the sacrifices this career requires, they had to endure yet another move without me there. They arrived in a new city with no family, no friends, and no support system to help them. All we expected was professionalism and the level of care that military families deserve. Truly any paying family. Instead, my wife was left carrying that burden alone. To my wife and my children: I'm sorry. You deserved better. I love you. I'll be home soon to put Miles' bed together, tighten the sofa, fix the outdoor table. Fix the table left propped up by a box, and take care of everything that should have been done before the crew left. I can fix the furniture. I can't give you back the day you deserved. read more

We unfortunately had a really bad experience. The large items like our bed and dryer were packed by the company and heavily damaged, dryer broken. We paid the 110% up front after the load up based on the video quote. We had try to get an in person quote as we knew we had alot of items and they only wanted the video walk through. They then held our items hostage until we paid more than double what we had paid for the load up. The driver was great but the crew on the off load side was horrible. Do not recommend. read more

My house move fell through due to damage at the property. at the time I had a deposit with JK to make the move, but had to cancel that, too. Once we purchased a different house, I tried to reschedule with JK but ran into communications issues with customer service that left me without movers the week of our scheduled move. I requested a refund for my deposit, which was denied multiple times. I left a poor review, which was picked up by someone else in their company who ended up providing a refund for my deposit. read more

I chose JK Moving Services over several other moving companies, despite having the highest price estimate, as it was a local company servicing the Washington DC area, where I was currently located. I was provided a cost estimate based on a virtual tour of my apartment. The actual cost of the move was more than twice my already high estimate. I had no real recourse since the actual moving cost was provided after all my belongings were on their truck. When I complained, I was told only that moving costs were based on weight. I have since used another moving company for two smaller moves, the cost of each less than one-tenth the cost of my move with JK Moving Services, and the quality was solid. I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

jk Movers are the worst! I cannot convey how bad they are and the lies that their ads include about no third party people, luxury moves for high end furniture, and do not tell you that they will be warehousing your furniture for a week. Our furniture from Florida to Arizona involved 6 separate times that our furniture was moved. First to the van, then to a warehouse, then to another van that went to Texas and unloaded, then to another van which took 15 days before arriving at our home. Then they lost the parts box so we had to stay in a hotel for a week because they couldn't put the bed, tables etc. together because the parts box was lost in Texas. we have moved 10 times over the years and this was by far the worst ever as we have many broken pieces of furniture and art, scratches and gauges which can not be repaired, heavy lamps pack on top of fragile artwork etc. They will call you and say they are so sorry but then you have to del with the moving company that they dumped your move on!!! read more

First, I want to acknowledge that the moving crew who arrived at my home was professional, understanding, and sympathetic to my situation. I truly appreciated their demeanor and conduct. Unfortunately, my experience with JK Moving's sales and customer service team was the complete opposite. I found their practices to be unprofessional. I obtained quotes from several moving companies and ultimately chose JK Moving because of their high ratings, despite their quote being higher than the other moving companies I received quotes from. A sales representative conducted an in-person visit to my home, toured the property, and even drove through my neighborhood/development. Based on that visit, I received and agreed to a quote. On the day of the move, the crew arrived with a 55-foot semi truck, which could not fit into my neighborhood. I was never informed that a tractor-trailer would be used for my relatively small (3,500-lb) move. Had I known this, I would have immediately raised concerns about access in my development. Because the truck could not enter the neighborhood, I was told my belongings would need to be loaded onto a shuttle truck and then transferred to the semi -- at an additional estimated cost of $715. I refused this charge and asked to speak with management and my original sales representative. The sales representative never contacted me, and the customer service manager I spoke with was dismissive and unsympathetic. I was told my deposit would not be refunded and was even threatened with additional charges for the crew's wait time while the issue was being discussed. If I had failed to disclose access limitations, I would understand the need for a shuttle fee. However: 1. I reasonably assumed a standard large moving truck would be used. 2. I was never informed that a 55-foot tractor-trailer was required. 3. A JK representative physically visited my home and neighborhood prior to issuing the quote and should have accounted for any access limitations at that time. The customer service manager later told me they rely on Google Maps to determine accessibility, but that the images were outdated -- meaning their own process failed, yet I was expected to absorb the additional cost. As a result, I had to send the crew away, delay my move, and quickly arrange service with another company -- all while losing my deposit. Edit: JK Moving did refund my deposit. read more

Extremely careless, significant damage, and zero accountability I had a terrible experience with JK Moving. Despite paying over $2,000 for this 1 bedroom apartment move, from Gaithersburg to North Bethesda and my belongings were handled with extreme carelessness and multiple items were damaged or broken. The crew lead came across as professional and reassuring and completely put us at ease. He promised everything would be handled with care. We even thanked them when they finished. But once they left, the reality set in. We found extensive damage to our furniture, electronics, and personal belongings. It is clear now that we were misled by empty reassurances, and that our property was handled carelessly and without respect. They damaged my bed adjustable base (now unstable and tilting), broke lamps, sentimental pottery, broke the leg of my fireplace heater and hid it, and a ultra-wide curved computer monitor, and caused additional damage during both the move-out and move-in process. Even worse, items were improperly reassembled, including my bed, sofa and dining room table. I feel like the crew rushed, handled items roughly, and it was very difficult to communicate with them when I tried to express certain concerns because they did not speak English and I had to reach out to the crew lead to translate for me. For whatever reason they did not treat my property with care. They provided a few additional boxes, tape and paper and consider that saving me additional funds so I feel I was sort of pressured to sign the completion waiver before discovering the full extent of the damage and they only attested to the broken lamp. Only after they left did we start finding more and more broken and damaged items. I immediately contacted the company, but getting a response was extremely difficult and no one has taken real responsibility or even called back to inquire and took my money and that was it. For a company that markets itself as "premium" and "professional," this was a deeply disappointing and costly experience for a local move. I would strongly caution anyone considering JK Moving and don't do what I did but to think twice and document everything before, during, and after their move! read more

After 12 professional moves, hands down the least professional company I've ever had to endure. Got lazy and just stopped packing things and loaded them on the truck loose. Zero surprise when items arrived scratched, damaged and missing. Missing as in entire boxes missing as well as items that are clearly present in their pre-move video inspection. They also reuse previous move packing materials so you can see previous customer name, contract number and other details let alone potential for hygiene issues. A lot of this is fault of the individual drivers they hire who then subcontract out to local packing crews but what shows JK's true colors is ZERO call backs or concern as you identify to them that things did not go well. Zero follow up when you let them know that none of the high value items were inspected by the driver before packing as their own documentation says is required. Pretty concerning if you are moving things like firearms, art, etc. There are good reviews by people who go lucky and got a good driver BUT JK sells themselves as premium moving service, charges premium prices, but the office is anything but premium and your expeirence is pure luck based on what driver gets assigned and what local crew you get. Final issue is instead of driving your goods from point A to point B, they pack you, drive your stuff then let it sit in a trailer while your driver does other trips. Can fathom how this is more efficient than loading, driving, unloading let alone the experience of leaving people without their household goods for an extra week. read more

JK handled my move that involved shipping some belongings to a new house and storing others for later shipping to another home. Important items were shipped to the wrong location. It took days just to get a quote for shipping the stored items. When unable to reach to the party I had been dealing with, I'd be put in touch with someone else; each new person didn't know what I'd discussed with the last one. Original artwork that should have been sent to storage couldn't be found. I was assured that warehouse personnel were searching my belongings for the paintings only to be informed later that no search had begun because there would be a charge to open the palettes. Yes, they wanted me to pay them to find items they had lost. I was told that two pieces of art were found in crates in storage when it turned out they had been wrapped in paper and shipped to the wrong location. When there were problems on the day of delivery, the person supposedly supervising the move couldn't be reached for hours. If you want your move mismanaged with gross incompetence while being ignored and lied to, JK Moving is the company for you. read more

I have moved many times. I have never had so many items broken. They say they are not responsible for the client's packing. I have never had so much bubble wrap and paper as I did with this move. No amount of packing will prevent breaking when they let a tower of 5 boxes fall to the floor. read more

I see a paragraph is missing here. JK denied my claim for damaged furniture on the grounds damage must be noted at the time of the move. That is the reason for my warning and that I regret tipping. read more

We had a fair number of issues with JK moving that eventually led us to cancel our move with them and look elsewhere. The process of receiving an estimate and the communication within that process was good. We had no issues with walkthroughs, or anything leading up to booking. It was at booking and estimation that we began to hit snags. We received an estimate that had us moving on our day of closing. I communicated to the agent that this would not work and asked her to redo the estimate. After confirming on the phone that she had changed the dates and confirming the nature of the pack/move timeline, I authorized signature on the estimate. Fast forward a few days and JK reaches out to confirm the move with the move starting on the day we close on the new house. This was the first snag. It was at this point that the pack/move timeline changed from the estimate due to the already communicated date change. We agreed to a new pack/move timeline that fit within those dates. Fast forward to less than a week before our move and JK reaches out to confirm our move -with the same dates that we already vetoed and changed- We once again communicated that those dates would not work. It was at this time that JK informed us that due to the move bleeding into a Sunday that we would be charged an additional $57/hr. JK had plenty of time to inform us of this change but instead decided to withhold that information up until the last minute. We communicated that this was not satisfactory and asked them to revert back to the already agreed terms or we would look elsewhere and gave them a deadline to respond (a business day). JK blew past that deadline without a word. We decided to book with another company. I attempted to call JK to inform them of this but they did not answer (I called at 620 in the evening after I had secured another company). I then emailed JK and informed them of our cancellation and received a phone call within 5 minutes stating that they were willing to forego the extra charge. It was already too late. Due to never coming to an agreed contract, as the estimate was improperly recorded (phone logs and email traffic supported every interaction), we requested our deposit back. JK instead offered 50% back. In the interest of not fighting anymore and moving on, we opted to accept the 50% deposit back. Unless you have a basic move, I would not recommend JK Moving services. The people we dealt with were very nice and easy to work with but their attention to detail and up-front communication is lacking. If they cannot record a date properly, I would not trust them to pack my valuables. Update: After seeing this review, JK reached out and offered the full refund of our deposit. I'll add that communication with JK was never an issue aside from the attention to detail. I have upgraded my rating to 3* due to the follow through. read more

The crew was great. Arrived a few minutes after 10:00 AM and got to work right away. They rolled out the floor protectors instantly. They all were great! Friendly, personable polite and professional. We couldn't have had a better group of movers. A group of workers that worked very well together. You should be proud of them read more

JK Moving Services - Movers Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Upon arrival, my final bill was 20% higher than the original estimate or $1,700. I compared 2 other moving companies such as Allied Van Lines and United Van Lines and I ended up spending more money with JK Moving than I would've with those two other companies. I feel like they used a bait and switch tactic to earn my business and I will be filing a complaint. read more

Had an outstanding experience with JK Moving Services for my recent move from VA to TX, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, on schedule, and professional. Dustie Fisher, the move coordinator, is very professional and communicated with me throughout the entire moving process. Ms. Fisher responded to my questions promptly and provided clear details on what to expect on moving day. She also checked in during the move to make sure everything was going smoothly. Mr. Miguel Lopez and his team are outstanding! They arrived on time and were incredibly professional and courteous. They introduced themselves, assessed the situation quickly, and worked efficiently without wasting any time. They double checked with me on a couple items on whether to pack them and also asked me to ensure everything was packed up. I was impressed by how they handled my items with care. Fragile items were adequately packed, and all my furniture was wrapped and protected to prevent any damage during transit. Protective covering waa placed on the floors to prevent damage. Additionally, they are trustworthy!! A very expensive watch and ring fell out of the safe when they delivered it to the warehouse. I had searched the safe multiple times for the watch and had been looking for it for months. Left the safe door open for them to search before packing it up. Nothing was found until they delivered my things to the warehouse. Miguel called me and told me the watch and ring fell out of the safe. I was pleasantly surprised and in tears. Immediately drove out to the warehouse to pick it up. This is integrity.. WOW! My items arrived on schedule, in perfect condition, and the delivery crew was just as professional and courteous as Miguel and his team on the pickup end in VA. Was ecstatic when I unpacked all my belongings and nothing was damaged. The delivery truck driver, Franklin, contacted me the evening before my move to inquire about the parking at my apartment complex located near busy downtown Dallas for an 18-wheeler. Early the next morning before 0600 (move started at 0700), I saw the 18-wheeler perfectly backed up into the circular driveway in front of the complex securing the most ideal place to access the freight elevator while allowing cars plenty of space to use the driveway. The security and concierge staff told me they have never seen a driver be able to do this. We were all super impressed!! When Franklin's team arrived on time to help unload the truck, they hustled while taking great care. They assembled some extremely heavy furniture for me and ensured everything on the itemized list was checked off, delivered, and assembled, if required. Before they departed my home, they ensured everything was all set and that I was happy. JK Moving Services was transparent with the price estimate and the estimated weight being moved. No surprises. The high-quality service and professionalism JK Moving provides is well worth the price! I wholeheartedly recommend trusting them with your relocation. They exceeded every expectation I had, and I will certainly hire them again for my next move. read more

Moving with JK was the worst experience I have had with any company. Some of the highlights: -showed up over 1 day late for move -over-charged by more than $4000 for unnecessary shuttle services -destroyed property, including electrical box causing a safety hazard, hot water heater, and refused to pay for damages -crew was too small for the job (3 movers for a 3000 sq foot house!) -crew members inexperienced, hostile and disrespectful to owners, neighbors, etc. The list goes on and on. We have a family of 5, and during a stressful time in our lives JK made the moving process an absolute nightmare. The worst part has been their complete refusal to accept responsibility for what they have done and apologize. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! read more

The worst moving company you could ever do business with. I moved from VA to WA on an corporate move, and they ripped off Amazon at every single turn. I had just moved from NY to VA and the weight was 3000lbs, which was high. These guys claimed it was 7000lbs, didn't intend to unpack at destination, hired a bunch of hoodlums in WA, didn't have box openers, did absolutely terrible job. they packed everything in boxes and triple boxed and wrapped, the packers were eating on my furniture, taking their sweet time to make sure the pack and load could not happen on one day. They have a romanian sweat shop that does the assessment and manages it, totally rude, unprofessional, and rip off artists. this was the single worst move i have ever experienced and I cannot believe amazon does business with company. stay away, and remember, this was a red carpet move. imagine what they would do otherwise. wish i could give them negative stars.. read more

JK moving had taken us from East Coast to West Coast in 2019, and they did an excellent job in 2019. We hired them for the return trip in 2025. We had some breakage this time around, unlike round 1--but worse was that they LOST the keys to antique furniture. And six months later I still cannot open 150+ year old pieces of furniture. I will have to hire a furniture dealer to see if they can open. read more

Update to the move from h**l. We have gotten thru the boxes and taken stock of all that was either damaged or lost. We called the customer service line that Amy shared....and called, and called, and called. Noone picks up! It's time to think about a lawyer as the final bill contained some pretty egregious charges considering everything they broke or lost. read more

Not a good moving company. I have used many professional moving companies over the years from across town moves to multi state moves. I would say this was the worst moving company thus far. First, the estimation process was inadequate. The day the moving truck arrived, it was already half full with someone else's items. The movers tried their best, but they had to end up strapping several items to the back of the truck, exposed to the elements. Then the movers had to travel to another client with our stuff on board to deliver half of the truck. This was not explained to us in the quoting process. We contacted the company to explain our frustration, and they shrugged it off stating this was common policy. BTW...this company is FAR from cheap, so I expected more for the money. The boxes they used were cheap. Most of them buckled under minimal weight. Little care was taken in the packing and storage. Heavy items were placed on top of lighter boxes. Fragile items were not treated any different. We ended up with a couple broken items and a bent corner of our TV. To top it all off, the guys who hooked up our dryer hooked it up incorrectly, failing to tighten a wire. This caused an electrical short (arc) which was hot enough to burn through the back panel of the dryer! Luckily, our dryer was a newer/smart dryer and shut itself off to prevent a house fire. This was a severe safety hazard! We had to end up getting a new dryer for which we made the company pay. I would not recommend this company as they were incompetent from the start. The estimation process was way off, driving up the cost. No care in packing. Boxes were cheap. Damage to appliances. Look elsewhere for movers. read more

JK Moving services destroyed my $1,800 wink mattress. These mattresses are not designed to withstand extreme heat for extended periods of time. JK moving lied to me and said my truck was moving across the United States stopping daily for pickup and drop off of other people's items. I had a tractor in the truck. The truck never moved for close to a week. The driver also confirmed that the truck never moved and was parked in their lot in the hot Virginia S completely closed with no ventilation. Almost everything in the truck melted to some degree. They are denying my claim because they "are not liable for damage due to atmospheric conditions". These guys are absolutely liars and crooks. I paid close to $20,000 for my move, and my truck sat "cooking" for close to a week before they ever started across the United States, and they lied through their teeth about it. read more

Narrative HHG move packing out Dominik Daul I was informed by JK Moving that the packers will come on 11/14/2024 in the morning at 8am to pack my belongings. In the house, I had prepared everything as good as I could, with labeling each item with stickers indicating : PACK or STAY and bringing downstairs crates and boxes for ease of labeling and loading . Around 11am I contacted JK Moving and inquired about the movers not being there, I was told that they are "on their way" At 2pm the van from "Wes Steward Corporation" showed up with a driver and a helper with an injured leg who was heavily limping and clearly in pain. They told me that their dispatcher had them pack out another house before mine, in Portsmouth, VA, about 90min drive from my house. I asked to reschedule and was told no they can get it done that day. The staff seemed exhausted, had no lunch break, and started packing my things, clearly rushing. I tried to keep and eye on things since they kept forgetting items that were labeled "PACK" or failed to look in cabinets . Somewhere around 7pm they ordered another truck from their dispatcher, a box truck this time, since they realized that they could not get everything packed and stacked in the wooden crates that were intended for shipping. They moved everything into the box truck. Again I asked several times to stop and come back in the morning, since I was getting worried about the quality of the packing as well as the health of the staff. I went and bought pizza and sodas so they would have at least something to eat. They started moving loose items into the box truck, assuring me that everything would be packed and labeled and prepped into the wooden crates for shipping back in their warehouse. By 9:30pm it was fully dark when they started with the garage items, I had to provide light with my car so they could see what to pack - they finished by 11pm. There was no itemized list or clear labeling what was in any given box, except some boxes from the beginning of the packing in the afternoon. Upon delivery in February 2025, it turned out there were at least 11 boxes without sticker or item number, no way to cross check or assure that nothing was missing. Looking at the long list of missing items, it was clear that someone went through the shipment at any given point . The pictures from GrosJean Delivery taken at port in France when they took charge of the shipment showed that the Wes Stewart Corporation" had just tossed everything in the wooden crates- thus resulting in way more space than initially planned by JK Moving and I had to pay a surcharge . When unpacking the boxes I found several items that I had labeled clearly as STAY have been packed and shipped. These were heavy, bulky items like electric household appliances ( microwave, toaster oven , mixer, kitchen machine etc ) that cost even more money to ship and to dispose off and that are completely useless in France due to the different electric current . Not one single box arrived undamaged, tools, small items, personal items were rolling around loose , many boxes were ripped open, my document bins were not marked not sealed and clearly opened, and I was standing there looking items that were precious to my late wife, wedding gifts or birthday presents, tossed together, glass packed with cast iron cookware, books bent and ripped, unique precious items with memories attached, that I had even labeled "FRAGILE", broken and damaged. Lots of the items are not even replaceable anymore , so even an insurance claim payout would not really fix the greater problem. JK Moving holds the responsibility for choosing their contractors, and I hold JK Moving responsible for the damage, the financial loss and the pain and distress that this has caused me. I feel strongly that JK Moving should take responsibility for choosing a bad contractor, and compensate me on top of the insurance claim for losing items that can not be replaced. The response from Bridget Walsh, "Global Client Services" was a 3 line copy and paste reply referring me to the insurance company. No acknowledgement of wrongdoing, no offer to compensate me for the loss of really emotionally precious items from our marriage and my late wife. no compassion or empathy. Just " File the insurance claim. The process from the insurer was extremly difficult, tedious, and cearly designed to deterr as many clients from finishing it. The payout was less than half of what has been stolen, and of course there is no price to be put on unique items that have been acquired over decades of marriage and travel from all over the world. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE JK MOVING. The quality of a company shows when things go wrong ,and boy, it showed in my case. JK Moving - worst ever. read more

I have moved internationally 7 times, and countless times domestically, and JK Moving is hands down the best experience I have ever had. Reggie and his local crew did a stellar job. They were the most professional, organized, thoughtful, careful, and kind movers I have worked with. Reggie went out of his way to anticipate what would be helpful, and I was deeply impressed with his work ethic and skills. It was a complex move, and everything arrived in excellent condition. I would highly recommend this company, as it came highly recommended to my family. read more

This is a moving service you can trust. They have been in business for decades and have topnotch training for all staff. Last month, on short notice, they came through with a reasonable quote - and stuck to it - and an efficient and capable crew (Miguel and crew) to move our daughter for the second time. The first time was over 20 years ago when she was a toddler and our family was moving to our first house. Just as before, we found JK Moving to be highly professional, transparent and communicative (welcoming instructions and coordination) and careful. I also see JK Moving's work at my office building, where we regularly use them for office moves, and know that they are consistently professional and service-oriented. Sending thanks to Miguel and crew! read more

After a bad initial experience, management made a sincere effort to fix their mistakes. Kudos to JK Moving.

I had a very disappointing experience with this company. They broke my handcrafted wooden desk--literally broke it in half--likely to make it easier for them to move. This desk was not designed to come apart. Between the damage and the lack of transparency around fees, I would not recommend this company. read more

UPDATE: this company is absolutely criminal!!!!! They mishandled our belongings and told us that we can't add BROKEN AND MISSING ITEMS to our claim because they'd only honor one claim submission. After moving across the country. So they expected us (or really one person, named Ivan) to unpack the mess they made and assess all damages within a day or two. I look forward to "Amy H's" boiler plate "apology" If I could give this "company" less than -10 stars I would. Their services are an absolute joke and while we received our items on time, several were broken because of improper packing and handling. We were told we needed an extra day of packing due to the size of our move. At first the packers were delayed and then straight up canceled. They showed up 30 minutes later than their promised window and told us they could pack everything in a day - three hours max the following day. As I'm sure you can assume, they spent the entire day at our old house, delayed our cleaners and junk removal service, and complained about the state of the house. NOT TO MENTION they destroyed our electrical box at the end of our driveway, bumped our hot water heater causing it to not produce hot water, and ran over our neighbors plants. I just received an email that even though the driver admitted to breaking an electrical panel and exposing wires, this wasn't JK's fault. Not sure on what planet this insurance adjuster is living on but the air must be thin. In addition to this insanity, JK forced us to use a shuttle service at our old house and new. At our old house they loaded it and moved the "shuttle" which is a U-Haul van ten feet and unloaded it into a semi. This severely delayed the schedule for no reason at all. JK moving then went on to bring our belongings to another state and then to our new home over 200 miles away. Things started out better at our new home when the crew arrived. This was only because JK contracted outside crew for basically no money what so ever. The driver was asleep the entire day both at the stop he chose for the U-Haul shuttle. He came in for less than an hour to find two items I was missing. Then left us with to reassemble all of our lamps and chairs. Another worker complained the entire day while I watched him drop fragile boxes off the semi and place boxes upside down. It took six hours and one of the outside movers to call and scream at the driver to tell him to bring the semi for it to be brought closer to our house. He was told that we told him he couldn't bring the semi. We said no such thing. So long story short, JK moving is horrible, they're only out for their inflated pay and they call asking for more money because they forgot to charge. Please feel free to hire them if you hate yourself or your belongings but don't expect them to take any responsibility for anything ever. DON'T DO IT. read more

What a disaster! The first time we moved with JK, several years ago, things worked well, but this tmove was a nightmare. One big frustration was that several of the packers did not use the parts box. Parts to assemble one of the glass stereo shelving systems were lost, but since we did not notice this when the unit was delivered, the JK people decided the claim was not valid. They also used tape to hold blankets in place that were used to cover tables. And due to the high temperatures in the climate controlled facility, the glue from the tape and material from the fabric were deposited onto the corners of the tables (see photo). However, they again decided that this did not represent a valid claim since they were not responsible for the weather. I will never use this mover again. read more

Not a good experience. We used them for moving and for storage. When it was time to have our belongings removed from storage and moved to our new home, we were given an estimate for that service. Once the items were already en route, we were told the amount due was $1,000 over the estimate and the explanations they gave for this were insufficient and dismissive. The movers themselves were fine but it's the company I would not recommend at all. read more

Terrible communication from the office on scheduling. They were supposed to deliver in a specific day which I confirmed three times. Didn't show on the day. Didn't call me until I called twice to find out what happened and where my stuff was. My "contact" did not apologize for their error. Instead she made an excuse stating the error was not her fault. Delivery guy finally just called me to tell me he will not be "unpacking the boxes" even though that is a part of the service that I paid for. read more

JK Moving moved us four times to three states. The gentleman who arranged each of the moves was great. On each of the moves, something broke - a knob on a piece of furniture, dents and rips in lamp shades, a few broken plates. We never filed a claim for these items because we know things happen. But this last move was different. In May, the company moved us back to our home state. The load and unload crews were friendly, but they were rushed. I watched as one of the guys hastily grabbed an heirloom Item. I could hear it crack as he packed it. Days later, when the crew arrived to unload the truck, I watched again as a crew member ripped the plastic wrapping off of my wooden coffee table in a way that makes it impossible to repair. This was on top of the fact that the crew did not lay down floor protection on what was a rainy day, despite me asking them to do so. Again, they were rushing. They tracked water onto my wood floor and carpet. I informed the company of this when my facilitator texted to check in that day to see how the unloading was going. The facilitator's response was "thank you for the feedback." I filed a claim and provided documentation of what it would take to replace the damaged items as requested by the company. I was disappointed that my settlement did not include the full cost to replace the item because of the deductible. I wrote the company and told them I was disappointed in the settlement, which is just a few hundred dollars. The claims person said the company must uphold its standards and policies of the service agreement. What about the standards that we customers expect from the company? I give this honest review to warn people that JK's crews are tricky. You could get a good one or you may get a sloppy one. Either way, I can no longer recommend this company. read more

Beware of JK Moving!! "What matters most to you, matters most to us" is merely their slogan. My husband and I hired JK Moving assuming that a large national moving company with almost 500 employees and $300 million in annual revenues would be able to implement a fairly simple, local 18 mile move without the horrific process that ensued. My travertine marble table top was shattered and the crew refused to remove debris from the broken table thereafter. Every piece of our bedroom furniture was dented, dinged or scratched. My grandmother's china, our crystal, and Thanksgiving platter was shattered despite boxes that were clearly marked "fragile" and "priceless". Every move is challenging but this one was especially so!!! When my husband and I proceeded to file a claim, the JK Moving Claims department refused to share the amount or extent of their proposed insurance reimbursement unless we waived our right to dispute the American Express charge. Nevertheless, we decided to do so given the excessive amount of property damage, lack of professional oversight of the moving crew, and the lack of transparency by J.K.'s claim processing team. Unfortunately, American Express advised that a legal process would be necessary as this was considered a "tort claim". Despite $15,000 insurance that we purchased from JK Moving, we ultimately received a proposed settlement of $499 months later. Following extensive correspondence with the claims department and then the general manager, we received an additional $300. We never received credit for the 2 1/2 hours we were overcharged for including: 1 hour for the crew's lunch, 1 hour for their failed attempt to reassemble our bed which they ultimately damaged, and a 30-minute call by the crew to their supervisor at the conclusion of the move. The general manager confirmed that a credit would be forthcoming and then later reneged. His final response was that my credit card dispute "caused complications regarding the refund process....and based on all our records, these credits and debits to and from your account are complete." Not so! My second American Express dispute is now pending. I would strongly suggest that you hire another moving company!! read more

We have used this company before, about 6 years ago. There were no problems. This move, August, 2024, has been a nightmare. They misdelivered( lost) over $6,000.00 worth of our belonging. 2 months later we are still not getting any answers about what happened during the transport. We finally received the manifest from the move. Someone had FORGED our initials on every page. The list was incomplete. For example: we shipped 8 expensive area rugs. NOT ONE was listed on the manifest. The most expensive rug disappeared during the move. So did my Brother Sewing and Embroidery machine. Art work, gone. Bicycle taken apart and bent beyond use. DO NOT USE JK MOVING UNTIL THEY IMPROVE THEIR SERVICE RECORD! read more
