They were amazing to work with!! We were so nervous about a state to state move and we were INCREDIBLY PLEASED with MT from beginning to end and the same crew packed us on day one, loaded the truck day 2, and delivered and unloaded. Cullen, the team captain, along with Michael from Mobile, AL were 5/5 on service, attention to detail, respect, professionalism, friendliness, and thoroughness. They picked up Jack in Montgomery to help with the unloading in Atlanta and he was just as good. They made a very stressful experience go smoothly! We couldn't have asked for anything better! read more

I've used McCorquodale Transfer twice now. Both experiences were stress-free and efficient. The movers followed instructions with fragile items and valuables, and everything arrived in good shape. The men on the job all worked quickly with a good attitude. Relocating is stressful, but this company made the actual move easy. Will definitely use it again next move! read more

We were moving our 90 year old mother from Birmingham to Richmond, VA. Bart and his team packed up her house with incredible efficiency and delivered her furniture to her new retirement apartment the next day. They were not only extremely polite but very respectful to her and all of us. They are hard working and professional! Highly recommend. read more

Excellent movers and people. Many of my friends have used them in the past and recommended them to me. They showed up right on time and nothing was damaged. I can't say enough good things about this group! read more

I worked here as a summer job and I've got to say the professionalism of these guys is outstanding.

They broke two expensive pieces of furniture and assured me multiple times that the damage would be taken care of. I spoke with the owner who confirmed that the damage would be addressed. Then, they stopped communicating, finally calling to tell me that they would not fix the damage, instead offering me .$.61 per dollar value of weight, which did not apply and would not be nearly sufficient to fix the damage. Dishonest and unprofessional. read more

Scheduled moving 3 days prior. They arrived 15 minutes early. We're very professional, fast, and clean. Didn't take 1.5 hours. Prices are very reasonable. Would highly recommend. Next time I move, they will be my first and only phone call. read more

The same EXACT thing that McCorquodale did to Mary C and Ellen M, they also did to us. They refused to repair or replace a brand new $2,000 upholstery item after they dropped it and ripped it. Our story is basically identical to the others. This company claims to be insured, but they refused to file a claim for us. We were actually told that they would prefer to settle this without contacting the insurance company. They sent us a check for $199 and expected us to go away. That check is now in the hands of attorney. If there is anyone else out there that they have done this to, please contact me. read more

I used McCorquodale Transfer because I had some valuable antique furniture that I wanted to receive special care. They damaged several items (some looked like water damage though it was not raining that day??!!!) and broke the marble top on an antique chest. They did not want me to get an estimate on the repairs--oh no, they had their own special guy who could repair everything. He came out and started running all over the house spraying something out of a can on all the furniture with water damage and some things that weren't even damaged, before I stopped him. Then he took my marble top, which was in two pieces, and returned a few days later with it glued back together. There was glue all over the marble, the two pieces did not line up and all--it looked like a 6 year old had done it. It would have been comical if it had not been a cherished heirloom. I tried to contact the owner numerous times during this period and when I was able to get through to him he gave me the complete runaround. It finally took a letter from an attorney to get him to pay for a new marble top, but of course the same type of marble is not available anymore which was a huge disappointment, and the water spots are still on my furniture. Run from these people! read more

I have used McCorquodale Transfer on a number of occasions when I needed to move some high end furniture moved to a few locations in the Birmingham area. The movers were always prompt and very professional. Nothing was scratched, dented, or even rubbed the wrong way. What I thought would be an all day move just turned out to take about 5 hours or so saving me time and money. Their office is conveniently located within Cahaba Heights so they can get to almost any area of Birmingham in very short order. These guys come highly recommended and will do a wonderful job for you, your family or your business. read more

They did such a great job! They showed up on time and were so friendly! I have never experienced such an easy and stress free move! Love them! read more

Some friends in Liberty Park sold us their dining room suite, treadmill, and stationary bike. While David and a friend planned to move everything with a rental truck, I hired McCorquodale to speed up the time. David and Robert were prompt and hard working. They got the job done in 2 hrs and my husband worried it may take 3-4 hrs!! All of our new furniture was well taken care of and I have these guys to thank for it. Don't look any further Birmingham, these are the locally owned movers you will want to hire!! read more

Let me just say this...moving is super stressful, we all know this!!! I found this company through a business associate, and all I can say is WOW! These guys were on time, super fast, and did an excellent job packing all of my valuables. I am a huge collector of antiques, so I was super impressed with their attention to detail. I HIGHLY recommend these guys! 5 stars all the way read more

I'm disgusted. Broke my grandmother's table, showed no remorse, ignored phone calls, offered $30 on the $1200 estimate we got to fix the table. Details below. McCorquodale was recommended to me, and I used them on 2 occasions. The first was to move a piano - no significant issues, but I felt like the movers acted almost irritated with us, and that they dragged the move out to take more than the time necessary (the piano was moved 1/4 of a mile, involving no stairs or difficulties, and we were charged for over their minimum charge time of one hour - by my clock it took 1 hour and 10 minutes from the time they left headquarters). I have no idea why I used them a second time, I should have listened to my gut, but we were moving things that were important to me and I didn't have any problems with the way they had actually handled my piano. The second time the movers seemed careless. One of the items we had them move was a table, handed down to me by my grandmother. The movers turned it on its side, allowing the slate center to slip out and break. No apologies, just mention of how he had thought it was glued in and that it was charcoal, not slate. We were told to get an estimate to fix the table, which we did by taking a broken piece to a stoneworker (who confirmed it was slate). After providing that estimate to McCorquodale we were offered $30 - the estimate was for $1200. My biggest issue was in how things were handled after the break. I understand that things happen (especially when you are careless), but I expect people to stand behind their actions and to demonstrate integrity when things go wrong. One mumbled sort-of apology with a shrug of the shoulders as the workers were leaving, being told the table wasn't worth anything by the workers, and such an insulting amount offered to fix the table by the owner. AND, the workers had me sign something saying that the damages would be covered at 30 cents per pound AFTER it had been broken. The worker said that signing was to indicate that the move was complete, that they may be covering damages at 30 cents per pound but that if we got an estimate and it was worth more the owner would handle it. He was callous enough to mention that it was only "nicer furniture" that was covered over the $0.30/lb. I was devastated, and shouldn't have signed - that's on me, but I'm disgusted that the owner did not even attempt to fix the problem. He didn't even return any of our phone calls for MONTHS. So disgusted. With the carelessness and the apathy. read more

My wife and I moved from the Nashville, TN area to the Birmingham, AL area. We have moved 5 times prior to this move and this was by far the best experience. Leading up to the move, Seneca was always quick to respond to any questions. On moving day, David and his crew were on time, worked hard, and worked efficiently. I highly recommend these guys for anyone needing the services of a moving company. read more

I have very little to say positive about my interactions with McCorquodale Transfer (MT). To begin, I moved to the Birmingham area from the midwest as I began grad school Aug 2013. Having trusted MT with unloading our truck, we initially chose an apartment that was unacceptable (it looked nothing like the pics). When the MT movers showed up, we informed them that we were not going to move in. They then wrote us an invoice and stated "did not unload" and included language along the lines of "apt was unfit to move in". After this, one of the movers told us that we needed to pay him and that they'd work with us (and credit us when they actually unloaded us) on the time. After the "lead mover" spoke with his manager, he said he had to accept payment. Soooooo we trusted him and what he told us regarding "working with us" and paid them. What a huge mistake. Not only did they receive around $250 of our hard earned money during a highly stressful move, they received around $250 for services unrendered (ie they did not unload the truck as noted on the invoice that they wrote). Now, I'm a reasonable person and understand that there are "minimums" and what not. However, this transaction eclipsed reason. In a fee for service business, why does some deserve to be paid when they've done no work? I can understand a base $50 if they show up and do nothing to cover gas, etc. However, they knew within 10 minutes of showing up that they were not going to be doing any work. They could've left if they were going to charge an hourly rate to just "hang out". To add injury to insult, the wife phoned them and they pretended to have no recollection of this (ie we'll work with you and credit for the time upon actually unloading the truck). The lead mover spoke with "his manager" and the manager said that he was not going to work with us and that we had to pay him for his time. I asked her "WTF, he say?". I then said we'll cancel the check and take it up with them later. We canceled the check. After they moved us, we paid them and gave them a generous tip. We expected to hear from them regarding the canceled check. However, we never did and they just charged our credit card without any notice or contact. They then also charged a ridiculous $35 fee, so they got $292 for NOT UNLOADING A TRUCK. I then went in to attempt to reason with them and got absolutely no where besides treated rudely (ie given the runaround and subject to harsh tones by "the manager"). I wound up speaking with a David Lang and a Chris (believed to be "the manager"). I initially spoke with Chris who had some tone problems as I thought he was yelling and being extremely disagreeable. David Lang came around and mentioned something about their "bonding" and that they couldn't not charge for their "time". He said that their governance, regulations and governing/licensing org does not allow them to issue refunds or not charge for time. I asked him to demonstrate where in their bylaws this is expressly stated. He said that he'd get back to me on the following monday (keep in mind that this inquiry happened early to mid Sept). He also said he'd mail out a copy of the regulatory manual and point it out. It's now Thanksgiving time basically. You think I've heard from David Lang? No. Let me give you more perspective. I also phoned Bart and their accountant. I got no returned phone calls. I phoned Bart and spoke with him on the phone on one occasion and he expressly said he'd check into it and call me back.... did he ever call back? NO. Was Chris concerned with the fact that two customers essentially were misinformed? No. I remember Chris telling me that he doesn't know what his "lead mover" may have told us but it wasn't that (ie they'd work with us on time). Now why would wife and I need to lie? We both know what we heard. Maybe we should've just not paid them for showing up and let them chase the payment. We phoned them every week from August to November essentially. In sum, Bart and David and Chris are not trustworthy or professional. I would not and will not recommend them or the MT brand to anyone. They think so much of their company that they should be the "movers" who are paid to just stand around and literally move nothing into the building. Would I trust them in the future? Absolutely not. They beat us out of $300. Then they became evasive and tried hiding behind ambiguous regulations/bonding reqs. Not once did they apologize for the possibility of misleading us. They seemed to sort of cloak it all under a miscommunication, and one resulting in our fiscal loss. They exercised no discretion and had no sympathy or empathy at all. We essentially paid them around $900 to unload a truck (emphasis added to "unload truck"... not move or anything else). Seem reasonable? MT movers are crooked, scandalous and shifty/slippery and UNtrustworthy. I would give them .5 star at best. read more
