Mighty Men moving made our move so easy! From getting a quote to moving all of out boxes and furniture, they were efficient, polite, respectful, and thorough. Not to mention, they even finished an hour and a half quicker than the quote! Highly recommend! read more

Very professional and efficient. Very careful packing. Pleasure to work with Emmanuel and his team. Also value priced, particularly for local moves. read more

Emmanuel the owner and his team were fast, hardworking, and a very good value as movers. They adapted several time to changes in my plan, helped me out with needed supplies and labor to finish my packing and carefully wrapped and packed fragile items. Aaron, Virgilio, and Cruz took care of my belongings and helped move and reassemble things in the way that I asked. Everyone was friendly and good humored. These guys are experienced, professional, and reasonably priced. I did two moves with Mighty Men this summer, and they are now my movers for life! read more

Mighty Men moved my furniture and household belongings. They also packed all my glassware, including delicate wine glasses. My estimator was thorough, listened to my concerns, and responded promptly to questions. The service was reasonably priced and everything arrived safely. The moving staff was not only competent, but friendly and personable. I would definitely use them again. read more

We hired Mighty Men Moving to move the contents of a one-bedroom apartment to a new apartment in the same building. I called several movers with good reviews on Comsumer Checkbook. Mighty Men's rate for a three-person crew was reasonable, and Emanuel, the owner, was easy to deal wih in making the arrangements and seemed to very knowledgable in answering my questions. He was able to schedule the move to happen during the time when we could get the freight elevator in the building. We were very happy with the move. The three person crew -- Daston, Howard and Max -- were careful, efficient, friendly and courteous. They arrived on time and cleaned up before they left. We did most of the packing ourself, but I'm confident they could have packed the kitchen efficiently if we had asked. They completed the move in three hours (which is the company's minimum plus travel time). Daston, Howard and Max made this a low-stress move. We were happy with the performance and the price. Highly recommend Mighty Men Moving. read more

Fantastic moving company. I used Mighty Men for a local move, they were priced fairly and did a great job as movers. The movers were very friendly and gentle with my belongings. Unlike most movers who throw everything around, they took great care of my things and provided an overall great experience. They were also easy to work with logistically and very easy to work with to schedule/customer service. I highly recommend Mighty Men read more

I'm so glad I didn't read the yelp reviews before hiring Mighty Men Movers or I never would have hired them. They have great reviews at Washington Checkbook where you have to be a subscriber to leave reviews. MMM was so great that I want to leave good reviews for them everywhere I can. What we did: first, I was ready for them. We were moving from a 4 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment, with a stop in storage for a drop off and to pick up a couple of items. There were only a few steps here and there -- no flights of stairs -- but there was an elevator at the storage facility. We were packed up, had moved some of boxes to the apartment and put them in the closets so that the movers would have room to put the furniture down. Pretty sure they could have worked around this for about the same price, but this was more so we knew exactly where critical items were in the first days in our new place. Second: I supervised them. Since we had stuff going two places, I made sure the truck was loaded properly. It was nice to sit and watch for a while, actually. Third: because we had sold our home recently, a fair amount of stuff had been moved out to stage it (favorite tchotchkes, almost all the books, paintings, etc, etc) so there was less to move then there would have been otherwise). The crew arrived on time, they were polite and friendly, and worked efficiently. They wrapped all the furniture, and took special care of three fragile-ish antiques. All of the furniture arrived in the same condition it departed it. Well, one arrived in better condition, actually. One cabinet had a door that wasn't closing right from the last movers. I had tried to fix it, but couldn't figure it out. One of the movers knew the trick, and now the door is perfect. The quote was for 3 men, 5-7 hours with a 26' truck at $180 per hour. I paid a $100 deposit to secure the date. Communicating with Emmanuel was by email and he was responsive. The total move was estimated at $1,339. Total actual cost was $1,252 (plus lunch and tip). Definitely hiring them again for the next move. read more

I was quotes for 150 for 3 movers for my move day. The day off, only 2 showed up, and when I asked them about the rate, they claimed it is 150 for 2 movers. I proceeded to explain the quote I already had, and when I asked who can I talk to, the guy said there is no one you can call. After I showed him the contract I signed, he ended up calling his boss, and then gave me a quote for 130 per hour, which is now too steep for what they were offering. One of the mover kept insisting that this is as low as I can get anywhere. During that time, I kept trying to call the guys who originally gave me the quote, but they would not answer my phone calls, although they were answering the movers who were already at my apartment. This was a bad experience, because they locked me into a price that I did not agree with, nor did I have time to shop around. I never heard back from Emmanuel, the guy who originally gave me tho quote. And I ended up telling the movers that I will not use their services for that move. These guys might be good at what they do, but they faced with a problem like the one I had, they sure do not know how to act, nor are they able to figure out some way of making sure the customers needs are well met. Sure in hindsight they might have the perfect response now, but when the issue was happening, they were complete amateurs that had no costumer relation skills And for all their claims that no one can do it better for lower, I ended up getting a different company that showed up at my door steps 3 hours later, and did the entire job perfectly for 400USD, way less than the price that I was quoted for for 3 movers. If you choose to work with this company, make sure that you check, and double check how many movers are going to show up at your front door, and what it the hourly rate. read more

TL;DR: Nothing was damaged (if you don't count scratched walls). Still, I wouldn't recommend these movers. No uniforms, no booties, and overall we felt we had to supervise the entire ordeal, in general professionalism was really lacking. One mover (who refused to tell me his name) was actually aggressive towards me! I couldn't belive what I was experiencing after reading the other Yelp reviews. However, in hindsight the negative reviews do call out movers who become aggressive, and the positive reviews are a little dated. Summary: 12 PM - 4:30 PM was spent loading/unloading a 2bd/2ba apartment with 3 guys at $150 an hour. Total was $790ish. We paid in cash, supposedly there's a 6% discount for that. We were so tired, and anxious to be over this ordeal that we paid $800 in cash, and said goodbye. Experience: When they arrived, 5 min after the meeting time, they called me, and asked for a walkthrough. Expertise: After a walkthrough of the apartment I was most disappointed by the lack of moving expertise, or knowledge they could provide. For context, this moving company has wardrobe boxes and mattress covers in their truck that can be "rented" for your move. We took advantage of their moving boxes, instead of buying our own ahead of time. We hoped to pack our closests up, while they wrapped and loaded the other boxes and furniture. During the initial walkthrough, after seeing our closets, I guessed we'd need 8/9 wardrobe boxes. They brought up 4. Between their experience and guess work, it was really a waste of time for them to bring up 4 boxes. While they loaded furniture into our freight elevator we could have been packing our wardrobe, but instead we had to wait for them to decide to bring us more wardrobe boxes! Professionalism: There are no uniforms, it'd be impossible to tell them apart from people walking on the street. Also they didn't wear booties, and they didn't have booties to put on at our request, we have hardwood but carpet in the bedrooms, so that was disappointing. At one point I came in the living room to find the mover who (literally) refused to give me his name sprawled across the couch to retrieve pillows. He could have walked around the couch and retrieved them, but instead with his street clothes and shoes on, he mounted the furniture? It was so disappointing. The same man that mounted the furniture was antagonistic towards me. I thought he was just a disgruntled employee because he'd mutter things under his breath the entire move, but I did my best to avoid him. But in our new apartment I asked where the box was going he was carrying, he responded by sarcastically telling me "I don't know, I didn't label them, can't you read?!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. After giving him a few seconds to calm down, I asked if he was okay to continue the move. It was such a terrifying experience to have someone so angry for no apparent reason in my home! AJ switched places with him, so that worker stayed at the truck. I'm sorry I can't include his name, he wouldn't tell me his name at any point during the move. Drive time: To continue a somewhat disappointing experience, they took a full 60 minutes to drive from Reston to Arlington. Of course, sometimes that timeline is accurate BUT my boyfriend left when they did and arrived a full 25 minutes before them. I got gas, and picked up food before making the drive to Arlington, and I arrived at the same time as them! It was really a waste of our time. Maybe they go really slow, maybe they stopped for something, maybe they know they charge you for an hour of travel so they want to take up the entire hour. Staff: AJ was nice, he was the driver. He must have been responsible for the loading/unloading, because we didn't see him, except for the very end when he took the place for the aggressive mover. Vincent was super professional, he said yes ma'am, no ma'am, and was a really hard worker. There was another mover who never introduced himself and was so unpleasant to be around! He was so unfriendly and aggressive that AJ actually switched places with him and began to do the moving/unloading so that the antisocial mover could stay at the truck. read more

My husband and I are so grateful for Mighty Men Moving with our recent move. You really don't realize how many things you have until you start packing and putting your whole life into boxes. Even though we were moving down the street, we wouldn't have been able to do all of the big item moving on our own (and didn't want to trouble our friends). I inquired through their website on an estimate and I received a response by the next day from Emmanuel. When I inquired on general information and questions, Emmanuel answered within 24 hours. FYI, they provide wardrobes for hanging clothes ($5 each), which was a lifesaver for us. There's also a 5% discount when you pay in cash. On moving day, the movers (Walt, Jose, and Franklin) came an hour earlier than scheduled - which would've been nice if we didn't have our loading dock appointment setup for the scheduled time that we provided. After that hiccup, we got started with moving. They were able to take apart our desk and bed and put it back together at our new place. All of our items were carefully moved (and covered if necessary) and nothing was damaged. They were very efficient and friendly throughout the whole experience. I'd definitely look into using them again for our next move. read more

We downsized from a house in Arlington to a condo in Reston right as covid was hitting in March 2020. Mighty Men packed all our fragile dishes, glassware and art glass collection. Not a thing broke! They did a great job wrapping our furniture and moving everything carefully. A dresser drawer did break and Emmanuel came, took it away and fixed it. He offered to reimburse us if we didn't like his fix, but we were quite satisfied. Movers were quick and respectful with our things. Planning on using them this summer for my son's move. read more

DO NOT USE THEM!! The day before the move they canceled because I questioned their charges, and told them it was only going to take one day. He wanted to do the move in two days to make more money. That same day, I hired another co. and they were wonderful! AND, did the move in one day! Charged less, too. Mighty Men Moveving Co. is unprofessional and unreliable! read more

I contacted MMM on short notice for a partial move. The price was competitive to others with no hidden fees, as I found out quickly after speaking with other companies. The movers were early on the day of the move, fast, efficient, and polite. Highly recommend MMM for any size move. read more

I cannot say enough how much I loved and appreciated the efficiency of these guys it was hot out and they were hustling! Pretty sure I witnessed one of them carrying my couch up by themselves. They don't dilly dally or waste time since what your paying revolves around how much time it takes that's a big factor. We have used them twice each time far exceeded expectations. Always refer my friends and family to them. The best of the best. read more

What a positive experience! From Getting the quote to actually moving my furniture, they were professional, friendly, and efficient! They seriously blew my socks off. Emmanuel really did a standup job getting me what I needed at the right price where we both were perfectly comfortable. I appreciated his sincere approach and promptness. The 2 guys (John and Morgan) that helped move everything were such sweethearts. They wrapped all of my stuff carefully yet quickly in those thick moving blankets and secured it with tape. They were extremely cognizant of walls and corners, nothing was scratched or dinged and they were moving a king size bed frame! I would highly recommend this company for their amazing customer service, price point, and stellar performance on job. read more

I am always hesitant to leave a negative review, especially for a company with whom I have yet to receive services. This will be my exception. I called for an estimate on moving a 3-bedroom townhouse which is fully packed. I am moving less than 2 miles away, mid-week and this is not a last minute move. The person I spoke with told me that it would take 6-8 hours. I tried to explain that I didn't have much furniture and how close the locations were to one another, and maybe 2-3 hours was a more reasonable estimate. The gentleman hung up the phone on me. Unprofessional and rude. read more

These guys were great. Seriously. Call them, get your quote, hire them, pay in cash. Rest assured in the knowledge that the quote is accurate, and you will not have any hidden charges tacked on at the end. Treat them nicely, let them do their job, tip them well, and they will get it done without damaging a single item, including the walls in the place you're moving out of and in your new home. If you hired them to work on a day that ends up being as hot and humid as Cerberus' three mouths, run out and get them a six-pack of coronas because they'll deserve it by the time their work is done. And tip them a bit extra. For me, it was worth it - I hurt my back a few months ago, and the medical bills if I'd hurt myself again would far surpass an excellent tip to the movers who saved my spine. I first contacted Emmanuel for a quote to move from a 3-level townhome to a 2-level single family about 15 minutes away. They quoted me 6-8 hours for a 4-man crew to get the job done, at a rate that was very competitive amongst the 5 companies I sought quotes from. They also offered some day-of-service add-ons if needed (eg. you can rent wardrobe boxes for a much lower price than buying them). Emmanuel was very responsive to emails and phone calls when I had questions and scheduled the move. On the day of the move, the crew arrived with their truck a bit early, which was fine with me, and after a quick walkthrough they set to work. My wife and I stayed out of their way. They broke down any furniture that could be disassembled, and wrapped everything that needed it with care. We have a very heavy marble table that other movers didn't even want to touch (one company asked for 200 extra dollars to put it in a special shipping crate), but these guys moved it without any damage at all. The same goes for several pieces of antique furniture, a glass-topped table, and more. After we were done loading out of the townhome, we all took a quick lunch break, and we met them at the new home where we directed the moving crew where to put everything. They reassembled all the furniture they took apart, and even helped move a few items around when we changed our minds. They were done the work just within the higher end of the time quoted, and there were no surprise charges added on to the bill. For reference, in the past, other companies I've hired ended up padding their bill with stunts like wrapping the boxes I'd already packed and taped in additional packing tape, then charging for every roll of tape they used at roughly 100% markup from the retail price at Staples; or charging extra for furniture pads despite saying "we have furniture pads on the truck, they're included," and charging again for the tape or plastic wrap used to secure the furniture blankets, etc. But with Emmanuel and the Mighty Men, I did not feel like I was the victim of Thénardier the innkeep from Les Miserables. I do not regret hiring these guys, and I've regretted some of the moving company choices I've made in the past. Next time I move, if I ever move again, I'm going right to Emmanuel. Thanks! read more

I had to move a 2 bedroom apartment with fairly big furniture on the 3rd floor to a new 2 bedroom condo that I purchased on the 3rd floor. In addition It was also a daunting task to get big furniture up to my condo because the stairways were somewhat narrow. MMM accomplished my move and did it both quickly and efficiently. There was ZERO damage done to my furniture and ZERO damage done to any of the structure. I have nothing but great things to say about Emmmanuel's group they were friendly and communicative and did the job perfectly and at a good price. If you are moving, I highly recommend you try out MMM. Two thumbs up! read more

Emmanuel was a pro from the start of this process his quote was right on the money. The movers Walt, JT, and one more (who's name I didn't catch) worked like crazy all the way though the move. Very professional, very quick, and very careful. They walked in asked what needed to go and BAM they were working right away. The move wasn't easy either, they moved out a basement of a house with annoying stairs to a 4th floor walk up. I was amazed how quickly they worked especially considering they charge by the hour. If you need movers this is your company. Hands down the best moving experience I have ever had. Will use again when I move next. Shout out to Jorge for the referral and the recommendation! A++++++ Keep up the great work over there guys! Thank you for the great move! read more

I never thought I would give 5 stars to a moving company, but Mighty Men Moving deserves it! From the timely response with an accurate quote, to efficiently and safely moving all of our items, they couldn't have done a better job. We have some very heavy, fragile items that my husband I am were concerned about moving. MMM listened to my concerns, and handled the items as if they were the owners. Super super pleased. Move successful! read more

Great movers, good price for the service. They are really nice and really fast! they pad everything with blankets and then walked everything up a 3 floor walk up without losing anything! We would definitely use them again and again read more

First let me say, in the past I've always tried to move myself, so when we decided to upgrade to a larger apartment in the building one over we figured we'd have no trouble moving it ourselves.Gigantic mistake. See what we didn't consider is that it was going to be down three flights of stairs, over a block, and up three more flights. So we struggled, for two days managing to move the bulk of our possessions. But by mid day the second day we admitted defeat and decided to get some help with the last 20 boxes and three book shelves. I did a Google search and came across Mighty Men Movers, I did a little bit of research then called up and talked to Emmanuel. I explained our situation, that we'd mostly moved, but needed help to get the last bit left. He gave me a reasonable quote for two guys to come help us out and we set a time for them to come the next day. The original time was set for 8:30, I received a called from Roger at 8:00 letting me know they were running behind as the vehicle had suffered a flat and they would be there around 9:30 instead. We weren't on a huge time crunch so I used the time to snag some breakfast. They arrived at 9:30, the guys were polite and incredibly professional and after watching them move stuff for us I will never again try to move myself. Not only did they knock the last bit out in 45 minutes, but I've never seen two people work so efficiently before and without any complaint or even inkling of discomfort. They quickly moved the items downstairs and into a van and then over to the new building and up into the spare room of the new apartment. That last bit would have easily taken us hours to knock out and it was done with the rest of my day available. I'll definitely hire them to help us moved the items in our storage unit in February and when we move again I'll be calling them first. They definitely made me feel comfortable with my first experience using a professional moving service! read more

I was extremely pleased with Mighty Men Moving for moving my (small, 1 BR) apartment from NoVA to Columbia Heights. I signed my lease on a Sunday morning, filled out the request form on Sunday afternoon, and got a response back from Emmanuel that day. By Monday everything was confirmed and that Saturday I moved. Although I didn't have a lot of furniture or other stuff, there was a flight of stairs in the building I moved out of and they had to carry everything from an alley around the block to the front of the building where I was moving into. Both movers were professional and extremely fast--which is especially impressive when you consider that they charge by the hour. Ultimately, Mighty Men cost less than half of what one of the big moving chains quoted me. I can't recommend these guys highly enough! read more

My most recent move with Mighty Men Movers was the worst moving experience I've ever had, and I've moved a dozen times in the last 15 years. I used the company in 2013 when moving from one apartment to another in DC and had a very smooth and efficient experience, so I booked them for another move last month. Similar to the last time, I had about about one bedroom's worth of stuff and packed my own boxes. This time, we emailed back and forth about some specific size requirements for the truck, which was required by the neighborhood I was moving into (to avoid getting stuck, hitting trees, etc). I was told that they would send the right size but they did not, which caused a lot of issues. Not only did they have to send a van to ferry my things to the new place, but one of the movers berated the staff and asked that they just lie to allow the truck in, not thinking about the fact that the staff's jobs would be on the line if they did. Furthermore, they decided to cut corners by not disassembling some of my furniture, which meant they scraped both the furniture and my walls and ceiling when moving my stuff in and trying to get it up the stairs. When I pointed out the damage and asked that they take the time to disassemble and assemble my furniture (which has always been done with this furniture, which I've had for at least the last 3 moves), the mover glared at me and said, "This is the least of your problems. It's hot and we need to get this done, and you don't want to make me angry." As someone who was alone in a new place at the time, with three men coming in and out and having some of my stuff still out in their truck, I was livid but couldn't say anything until the end when I felt safer (with my parents now around, and my stuff in my place) to let him know that his comments came across as a clear threat. It was unacceptable, unprofessional, and inappropriate. I waited to write this review to ensure I was not overreacting, but in sharing this story with more than a dozen people, they all agreed that it was threatening behavior and completely unwarranted under any circumstances. I wanted to share this review to make sure others are aware of what happened to me. read more

Mighty Men was great! I received a call within hours of submitting a request online, and I had to give a short notice due to the circumstances of my moving (lease was cut short). However, Mighty Men was available on the date I needed which was fantastic. The estimate was great, I spoke on the phone and detailed what needed to be moved. I actually spent less $$ than the estimate, and accidentally gave the guy an extra $20 which he gave back. We used 3 guys, and they were great. Friendly, athletic, etc. If you need a move, Mighty Men is for you! This was for a local move, and I would definitely use them again. I would also take a look at them for a long-distance move if I ever need to move out of the area. Thank you, Mighty Men for making my move smooth and less worrisome! read more

I used Mighty Men Moving back in early August. I had searched for a moving company that could do a move from Fairfax to Bethesda, with a second pick-up location in Silver Spring. Emmanuel kept in touch via email and was very helpful. He estimated that the whole move would be about 6 hours, with an hour of travel time factored in. This company charges by the hour, with no extra fees on heavy or unexpected objects. This is a thing I really liked and one that helped me make my decision on a moving company. I might have been able to go with a cheaper company, but the risk of not having a concrete pricing structure was too much for me to take. On the day of the move, two men in their 20s showed up right on time. It was perfect. They came in, assessed my boxes and furniture and began working. They were very quick and efficient. I had a lot of items to move and they got it done in about 1.5 hours. They made sure I didn't need anything else and even had wardrobe boxes available for me. I knew before and was again informed that there were $5 each. I was going to move all of my clothes in my car over the next day or two, but this was so easy and was a good enough price, so I took 3 boxes for all of my clothes. When unloading, the movers had to bring our items up an elevator and down our hallway. They did a great job. I know how hard they worked and I would not have been able to do this on my own. At the end of the day, the bill was about $1,000. This included the labor from the two movers and their truck, which was huge. It might be expensive, I'm not too sure about prices for this, but it was so worth it to have less stress and more time to do other moving tasks. If I were to move within the area again, I would definitely choose Mighty Men Moving. read more

Mighty Men moving just moved our stuff from Herndon, VA to Gainesville, VA. Having used many movers before, I have never seen any moving company as professional and making moves as painless as possible! Emmanuel gives you no-nonsense estimates and that's exactly what you pay! Nothing more, nothing less. They take extremely good care of your stuff! Highly recommend them anytime! read more

This is the second time that my husband and I have used Mighty Men and they were once again fantastic. They were on time, incredibly polite, and they worked very efficiently. Nothing was broken or damaged during the move and they made the whole process super easy and stress free. Thanks again! read more

Mighty Men Moving - Movers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

After reading the reviews on Yelp and other sites, I decided to hire MMM for a local move figuring I'd rather support a local vendor rather than a national chain. I'm pleased my decision - the moving crew showed up early, hustled to get things put on the truck, and seemed to take reasonable care with the items. When they arrived at the new place they unloaded the truck quickly and asked where I wanted things. Despite their care in packing one bookcase got damaged. I pointed it out and they took some $$ off the move. All-in-all I'd recommend them and would definitely consider using them again. read more

I actually used them twice, since I had to move twice and I must say I am very pleased with the job they did. During the move out, they did great job of packing furniture to prevent any damage, and I especially appreciated the care they took. During the move-in, they unfortunately knocked a couple of small holes on the wall... BUT IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. Blame must be placed on extremely tight space... and considering horrid job the movers hired by the previous home owner that left bunch of large glaring holes, Might Men did fantastic job of protecting the wall and stair case from damage. Crew that did the moving were fantastic, very professional. I would definitely use Mighty Men to do the moving again. Owner also deserves credit for checking with me couple of times before the move. read more

Emmanuel was great at communication in terms of explaining details ,following up a day prior to moving and most important great prices and super efficient staff !No hidden charges,very transparent and great service !I did a lot of research and zerod in on Mighty men moving ! I'm so glad I did ! The price quoted was $130 per hour plus additional price for travel time ! (Ranges from $75-130) based on distance and that is fixed price ! Loved their service !highly recommend read more

Great experience from start to finish. Emmanuel came out himself to give a quote , was accurate and efficient. The guys were organized and moved quickly. The move into our new home was done in 35 degree weather and pouring rain. They worked hard to make sure nothing got wet and everything was done with excellence and the quote was actually more than we ended up paying. HIGHLY recommend MMM for any move local or cross country read more

Emmanuel took the time to look at all our stuff before giving us an estimate. The guys were nice, polite, and sooooo efficient! It took 2-3 hours less than estimated with travel time and going to 2 locations! My husband and I just stayed out of their way and they were great!!! Tip-it helps to have everything packed and organized so they can just load up and go! read more

The team was fantastic- on time, attuned to detail, and had great attitudes. The price point was average for the move.

This was the third (and hopefully) last time using MMM. Another excellent and efficient job.

Hired two movers and a truck. They were on time and were very friendly and efficient. They wrapped up all of my furniture for transit and even took apart and put back tighter my bed and box spring. Would recommend and would definitely use them again. read more

Great company from the owner down! I sent an email when I was thinking of using them and the owner, Emmanuel, replied promptly with what he recommended and the costs. We emailed back and forth since I had some other questions. He was always quick to reply. Move day came and the two movers showed up on the dot at the scheduled time. They were very fast, but also very careful. Everything arrived at my new place in perfect condition. They were very strong (possibly had superpowers) and would carry 3-4 heavy boxes BEHIND THEIR BACKS like they weighed nothing. They wrapped all the furniture to protect it and also any framed pictures or mirrors. Money was not asked for until they were done for the day. When it's time to pay there is a 5% discount for cash, 5% fee for credit cards, and no fee or discount for checks. Be sure to tip! read more

It may interest yelp users to know that I recently wrote a lengthy, factual, negative review about this company that met all the yelp guidelines for content. This afternoon, I received a notice that there had been a response to the review. So, I checked it out. It was a Saturday afternoon. Shortly after I read the company's response (I'm talking about minutes), my post vanished. I found it--it's in the filtered section, which means it does not factor into the total rating the business gets on the site and it's not front-and-center when someone searches for reviews. So, just an FYI, a perfectly reasonable and factual review was inexplicably filtered. You may want to make a habit of reading those filtered reviews. Interestingly, there are also some positive reviews in the filter area. And just to let you all know, my male friend and I were both working just as hard, possibly harder than the mover that came from MMM--he spent most of his time arranging things in the truck while my friend and I brought boxes to him! So, it was far from a one-man-move or a hardship. When I called for the quote, I explained to Emmanuel that the reason I wanted just one person to come with a truck was to save money and that my friend and I would be helping. We discussed a specific total for the minimum charge--it did not include the travel costs. I now suspect that this was a deliberate omission. I was totally up front and held up my end of the deal. He didn't. I called the company because of the high yelp rating. Regardless of what may be on their website, a verbal quote should be a complete quote. The reason I didn't realize right away that things were missing is that the mover came with a HUGE truck that was half full of boxes and moving pads and even a very large box that was full of unfolded moving pads. This made it difficult to tell if the truck was totally unloaded. But, I told Emmanuel that everything would be pre-packed--I packed myself to further make the move more affordable. Not sure why all the boxes and pads were in the truck because we discussed this at the time of the quote, as well. And when items seem to be missing, the company staff should stand up and take responsibility for that instead of denying, denying, denying and patronizing, patronizing, patronizing until they finally give in and go look. When I wrote my check, I had every intention of honoring the payment. But, my experience and discoveries after the move were what changed my mind. read more

I recently ordered a marble top table and the dealer suggested Might Men Moving. I was impressed when they arrived early but it went downhill from there. They didn't have tools to open the crate, they were surly and refused to place the table where I asked in the room. The table was damaged at some point in transit so the seller asked me to check the packaging for punctures, tears or evidence of the broken pieces to determine whether the damage may have occurred before the table was packed. While I was doing this the mover became irate, screaming that he "didn't have time for this" and was "too busy for this" and wanted to know "who I thought he was." When I followed him downstairs to the courtyard to continue checking the packaging, he continued to scream the entire time calling me "woman" and waving the borrowed hammer in his hand so threateningly that a coworker came and stood between us. When we called the supervisor to complain, he did not seem concerned and didn't bother to apologize for his employee's insane behavior. You should literally be afraid to use this moving company. read more

I reserved a small move at 1 pm on May 31, 2012. This was for a business move. The movers called at 10 a.m. to say they wanted to start the move early. I told them that I would not be ready until the start time of 1 p.m. The movers showed up at 1:30 p.m. The two representatives of the company that showed up complained that I disrupted their schedule by not agreeing to complete the move early. One of the movers named Walt was surly and used profanity. He was aggressive and disrespectful. He also could not figure out how to park the company truck in the rear of the building! I had to cancel the moving services and hire another company for the following day. This company was very professional and did the job for a cheaper price. Do not use Mighty Men Movers!!! I have never had such a negative experience with a business. The owner did apologize for the actions of his employees, but then tried to rationalize Walt's behavior by saying he had a "bad temper.". He offered to do the move himself. I told him that I did not want to do business with his company. read more
