I had an excellent experience with this moving company during my recent 1-bedroom apartment move. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and handled all of my furniture and boxes with great care. They were professional, friendly, and made what is usually a stressful process feel smooth and easy. Nothing was damaged, everything was packed and transported securely, and they completed the move faster than I expected without rushing or cutting corners. Their communication was clear from start to finish, and the pricing was fair with no surprises. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and stress-free moving experience!

Unfortunately, I had 2 no-shows for a job today that was scheduled in advance and luckily I found this amazing company who were able to come within a couple hours the same day I reached out to them. I was quoted a great price for a Bedframe I needed assembled and it was reasonable and within my budget. Plus same day service and quick response, nothing can top that. These 2 gentleman came earlier than the confirmed time and got the job super quick and professional. They did an amazing job and I'm extremely blessed and thankful for them. I will definitely hire these guys again for things I need help with in the near future. Everything happens for a reason and I am thankful things worked out better than I expected. Five Star Service!!!!

Heavy items? They can do it with care.

VAL and his team are probably the best budget movers in the DC metropolitan area. They have their own equipment, provide you all supplies, and make sure that you are heard. We've moved several times and this was by far the best move and all because of local motion. They take care of your items as if it was their own and are patient every step of the way. All of our furniture arrived intact, and was carefully moved. They even went the extra mile to wrap fragile things. If you're looking for a moving company, do not look elsewhere. Call them and you will have the best move of your life.

It had been a very long time since I last moved and the last company was all booked up on the date…read moreI was looking for assistance. So after receiving a few quotes from a handful of businesses, I went with Potomac Moving due to the speed of their response, clarity in communication, pricing and overall warmth and professionalism. In our first phone call to walk though my needs, they were very assuring and accommodating, which is a such a relief in the midst of stress and coordination that comes with planning for a move. They were also always very responsive in the few times that I reached out between the time I paid the deposit and the actual move. A night or two before, I sent at email regarding wardrobe boxes, since I was debating whether or not I should buy and have a few delivered to me. The owner responded quickly, assuring me that wardrobe boxes were tried, true and if I wanted to buy any directly from them that I could. That ended up being a great call, because they were able to properly enforce the boxes so that even the boxes filled with my heaviest coats remained in tact. On the day of the move, the movers were communicative regarding their arrival time. They were also very nice and hard working. I had a few large furniture items that needed to be disassembled and they ended up being quite beasts to tackle. But they worked diligently to break them down. Once it came time to move things to my new place, that was a breeze. One gesture that I thought was just so classy, was the owner called in the middle of the move to check-in on how things were going - I really appreciated that. Overall, would definitely recommend PMC - they're easy to work with, fair and transparent about pricing and you're sure to be met with professionalism!

After going through a pretty traumatic break up and having to move unexpectedly, I immediately…read morecontacted Bookstore Movers through Yelp. I had had a great experience with them just last year when I last moved and knew they'd be able to get the job done again. My project was immediately responded to and they were able to help me move two weeks later on their soonest available date. The three movers, Pat, Renaldo, and Kevin were incredible. Communication leading up to the move and theday of was great. They were able to move all my large furniture within 2 hours. Everything was wrapped carefully and efficiently. They were kind and thoughtful, helping me make adjustments to the furniture layout once we got to the destination. Their positivity through one of the hardest situations I've ever gone through was much-needed and made me feel confident in entering this next chapter. I even had a last minute change to the destination (originally everything was going into storage but I ended up finding an apartment just in time), and the professionalism and patience from the entire Bookstore team through this change was excellent. Pricing was reasonable yet again and came out to about $500 (excluding tip) for the truck fee and moving of 16 large items. Thank you Bookstore Movers for helping me when I needed it most!

We were disappointed with our recent experience with Bookstore Movers. The crew was polite, but the…read moremove felt much slower and less efficient than it should have been. We had a dedicated elevator, yet workers often brought items down only one or two at a time. I also saw team members on their phones or standing around in rooms and hallways instead of actively moving things. These delays added up quickly. The crew also misplaced parts of our bed frame, and the pieces had to be found before it could be reassembled. That alone added nearly an hour to the move. Because the move took much longer than expected, the final cost was significantly higher than the estimate we received. We were also charged based on an arrival time that was recorded as ten minutes earlier than when the crew actually arrived. The team was courteous, but given the inefficiency, added time, and higher final price, we would not use Bookstore Movers again. This is unfortunate, because we had been happy with them in previous moves.

Sasha was good to work with from the moment that I requested a quote to the actual move in date. She made the experience one of ease. Also, they have the ability for you to estimate an inventory of your items online as oppose to manual. This is helpful in planning your move. Affordability and accommodating are the main selling points and delineation with this moving company. NewRay accommodated my move which required transporting and moving items from my home as a first stop.......to making an additional stop to an UHaul Storage facility to pick up additional items as part of the move before heading to my final destination. On the move day, the movers arrived during the time window expected and were great. I must admit though, I was a bit frustrated with the size of the truck promised and offered for my move. 2 Star deduction for not offering the truck promised nor communicating /updating me on the change. It almost felt like a bait switch move. The truck was unmarked (no company logo) and too small for the number of items and stops I knew we had to make, but we made it work despite items being crammed in the truck.....not to my satisfaction. Also, we had to carry a number of items in our cars to alleviate over-cramming the truck and/or causing any damage to expensive--special items from my home. Between packing items in our cars and their smaller truck, we were able to handle the move needless to say. The workers most of all deserves a "high-five!" They put up with a lot from me that day and understood my frustration. They were efficient, fast and worked very hard. They were even patient and accommodating to assist in the packing of items, as to I was still packing when they arrived. Upon arrival to my new home, they took great care and attention to moving items into the house and assembling furniture. Everything arrived safely, with an exception of minor scratch and ding to a bed frame and large standing floor vase. In all, the decision to go with NewRay movers was not all bad. Despite the misunderstanding on my expectation of the truck size expected and discussed with Sasha, my move was handled competently. Scheduling was easy and the entire process in all honesty was seamless. Not to mention, the price point (hourly rate) was one of the better rates offered in DMW for my move. Although they do have a 6% credit card surcharge which is bit steep, this is something that was made at least clear upfront. Would I recommend NewRay Moving or use them again? I must be honest, I am on the fence but would consider them as "an option" if there was a need for another move at least due to how nice the workers were and how accommodating they were to our needs.....despite the management and Sasha's mishaps.

We opted to receive their services with a truck and it was a great decision. They were on time ( actually a little early) and helped move stuff from 2 diff locations into our new place. Mike came with 2 other guys who didn't speak much English ( but Mike did). They worked so so hard, I was very impressed honestly. They didn't take random breaks and this work is back-breaking honestly. We provided tons of cold water and pizza for lunch to make sure they were fueled enough. They were super, super careful about everything they moved, very professional, courteous, places stuff where we asked them to and were generally nice and smiling throughout the process. They took care and time when moving - took them 10.5 hours to get the job done. I'd highly recommend them for anyone wanting to move honestly. I have zero complains or notes. They are very reasonably priced in my opinion and excellent value for money, given how much effort this job takes. We surveyed about 6 different movers before we finalized win-win and they didn't disappoint. Thanks for making the process so seamless for us, Jay and Mike!

These guys are 100 percent legit. 3 guys show up on time…read moreand ready to work. No messing around - saw the truck, asked to see the apartment. They did not stop for a break that I'm aware of. No playing or checking their phones. Actually asking where large items needed to go. Did not mind moving things from one room to another. Was charged fairly. Paid with Zelle - got the cash discount. Honestly - no complaints.... I have used movers previously, this is by far the best (6 lifetime moves) I've used. Speechless- I have no speech.

Moving day was made far easier with the best moving team, "Bay, Garcia and Nahun." We were so fortunate to have had their help and muscles. Bay's communication keeping the move on time was outstanding. Upon arriving at the "Public Storage" facility at Seven Corners in Virginia, my daughter and this patient moving team were welcomed by a serious issue not previously disclosed. The elevator was out of service, and the storage unit was on the third floor. The gentleman could have requested a reschedule right then, but no. The BoxStar Super Stars jumped into action. They moved my daughters one-bedroom apartment out of the storage unit and into their truck in record time, including a very heavy sleeper sofa, down three flight of stairs in a narrow stairwell. From the storage unit, they moved her belongings into her house, placing every piece of furniture with expert care. We estimated a three house move time and despite the elevator snafu, Bay, Garcia, and Nahun delivered on time. Working with BoxStar Movers was perfect. The whole BoxStar team is absolutely wonder, polite, kind, and so many great words to describe them. Thank you all.

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid…read more We had a small portion of items remaining at our house, sent pictures ahead of time, and they sent out a three person crew. The items were mainly consolidated into main areas, anticipating that it would make it easier for the moving crew to quickly pack and move the items to the trailer. They were here for over 9 hours, packed the truck half full vertically, but filled the 28 foot horizontally. This is something I would expect from college kids who have zero experience as you get charged every foot horizontally you take up in cross country moves. So now, not only are we out $2300 for these movers, we are out an extra 3k because they used twice the amount of space that was actually needed if they had done it correctly. Military and families and federal employees- go anywhere else. This was an absolute disaster.
