    There were two key things that I learned from attempting to hire Elite Movers. First, demand that…read moreany moving company you request a quote from completes an onsite visit to your home when providing the estimate. Second, ask the moving company specifically - will your team work in the rain? Key take aways for Elite Movers: - Do not hire this company if you are selling a home - Do not hire this company if you have a contract with a buyer - Do not hire this company if you are on a schedule - Do not hire this company if a rain delay will impact your sale - Do not hire this company if you want to work with a professional organization that will go the extra mile to make things right and ensure that the job is finished. What a disappointing experience we had with Elite Movers. The day of our scheduled move, I received a call from the foreman around 8:00AM stating that they were concerned about moving us that day because it was raining. They stated that they did not want our items to get wet. Understandable and greatly appreciated, but unfortunately, we did not have a choice. I explained that we were on a clock - the final walk through with the buyer was scheduled for 4:00PM that afternoon. The goal was to have the house empty before the final walkthrough and be ready for closing the next morning at 11:00AM. The foreman was totally understanding and said they would come to the house to see if there was a way to move us and keep our items dry. I was concerned that maybe this was the opinion of one person and that the company might not even realize this was the direction the conversation was going in. I called the company's phone number and spoke to Sean. I explained the situation and Sean immediately started side stepping my concerns and stated I needed to talk to a team member with Elite Movers. I realized that the 'sales team' that answers is actually an answering service that does not work for Elite Movers. They are booking agents. I asked to connect to a manager or owner with Elite Movers. I was transferred to Luc, who is a local Tallahassee resident and one of the founders of the company. I walked through the situation; we talked about the timeline, and I explained that our closing was approximately 24 hours away and we were under contract to sell the house. Luc explained our items would get wet in the rain and that if we wanted to move that day, we would have to sign a damage waiver. Not ideal - but better than nothing. The team arrived with two moving trucks and four movers around 8:30AM. They attempted to back the truck up the driveway and realized they did not have sufficient clearance to make it to the garage door. They told me they would not be able to help us. And left. I called Luc back and said 'your team just left'. Then the story changed. Luc explained that Elite Movers does not permit their employees to work in rain due to the potential for liability from a slip and fall. Keep in mind that now we've been told they can't move us because they don't want our stuff to get wet. Then it was signing a waiver. Now the story has changed a third time and they can't work in the rain. Red flags everywhere, but I'm getting that desperate sinking feeling in my stomach and trying to hold this deal together. My next thought is let's give them a chance to make this right. We started chatting about the options for moving during the afternoon. The weather app showed a break in the rain after 3:00PM. Luc explained that his weather app showed rain all day. Luc also explained that their team can't work past 5:00PM so they wouldn't be able to start a move out that late in the day. Luc offered the day after our closing as the next best option (entirely skipping over the day of closing). After we agreed that wouldn't work, it was very clear that Elite Movers was literally backing out of their agreement the day of the move. They were not willing to make it right, not willing to work late, not willing to start early, not willing to find a solution. And they seemed quite comfortable simply walking away. I asked for and received a cancelation notice from their system. Luckily, after 3 hours of making calls, we found out that there ARE professional moving companies in Tallahassee. These companies are NOT locally owned, they DO work in the rain, they DO work past 5:00PM, they WILL start a move late in the day, they WILL arrive early the next morning to finish the job, they CAN add extra movers, extra trucks, and extra equipment on short notice, and they ARE professionals at what they do. If these are the qualities you are looking for, call Browning Moving and Storage. They are a United Van Lines company based out of Lake City with an office in Tallahassee. Also - their trucks had sufficient clearance to back into the driveway up the steep hill. If any owners of Elite Movers read this, I would love to receive a phone call and talk through how poorly this experience went.

    Used their service to move my house and storage unit and found them to be highly professional,…read morecourteous, reliable, and very cost effective. I would highly recommend Marquis and his team! Best moving experience from the quote to delivery and updates using a moving portal - and have moved many times.

    I am writing this as a public service announcement: Do not hire New Chapters Moving Company. What…read morestarted as a $579 quote turned into a $1,200+ disaster that left my belongings broken, my apartment half-empty, and my storage unit a dangerous mess. 1. Property Damage & Negligence The most devastating part of this move was the complete disregard for my electronics. I provided professional TV boxes with foam corners; instead, they shoved my TVs into two-piece boxes with the screens exposed. Now, both TVs are ruined. One screen is visibly shattered, and neither unit will even power on. They took "professional" equipment and treated it like trash. 2. Price Gouging & Bait-and-Switch This company practices predatory pricing. I was quoted $579. Once they had my items on their truck overnight, the owner demanded $1,260. I felt completely extorted. He offered a measly 10% "discount" when I complained, but the final price was still double the estimate for a job that wasn't even finished. 3. Chronic Unprofessionalism The movers arrived 1.5 hours late and spent the first 30 minutes on the phone with their boss. Despite having a reserved freight elevator and a storage unit only 4 miles away, they moved at a snail's pace. They went "radio silent" for over an hour while I waited for them at the storage facility, later claiming their phones "died." 4. Incomplete Work & Reckless Packing * Abandoned Items: They left numerous boxed-up items sitting right by my apartment door, forcing me to deal with the move myself after paying them over $1,100. * Storage Disaster: They packed my unit so poorly that I can only open the door six inches before items begin falling out. Sentimental items were crushed and broken because they lacked basic stacking skills. 5. Zero Accountability When I sent the owner photos of the damage, he spent 30 minutes on the phone defending his "professionalism" rather than offering a refund for the damaged TVs or the unfinished work. He is a smooth talker who takes no responsibility for his crew's incompetence. I had to hire another company to fix the mess he made. Save your money and your sanity. This company is dishonest, overpriced, and will break your expensive belongings.

    Let me begin by saying that I am probably one of the most difficult clients out there. I'm picky,…read morehave way too much stuff, and never have as much help as I need. I despise the entire process of moving. From packing to storage, it is the worst experience I can imagine. That being said, I can only sing the praises of New Chapters Moving Company and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR TEAM!!! From my first encounter with Bridget and constant organized follow-up from Emily, I knew that I'd made the right choice. After so many nightmare companies and irresponsible, rude and uncooperative movers, I was prepared to revisit the moving nightmares of my past. What an incredible surprise when I was graced with THE BEST movers that I'd ever encountered. David, Brandon, Everett and Greg were absolutely the friendliest, most helpful, patient, kind hearted, easy going, FAST AS "F", organized, efficient, movers that I have EVER had the pleasure of using!!! I had everything put in to storage and the packing job they did was EXEMPLARY! The owner George, was extremely generous and offered a discount on the final costs (thank the heavens) and to assure all was going to plan, was in constant communication with me throughout the entire move. He even came out at the end to introduce himself and make sure that I was OK with everything. I haven't a single complaint with New Chapters and if you are contemplating moving and looking for a company that you can trust and afford, I STRONGLY recommend using them!!! They are not part of a chain or franchise, but locally owned and operated!!! Thank you New Movers for making the chaos of moving bearable! 5 Stars!!!

    Hired the company for a short move, they responded within the half hour, available for last minute,…read moreprovided an estimate based upon the information provided to them, they were a bit late arriving but did call to give an arrival time. Upon arrival they surveyed the area, mapped out their strategy, and began working right away, they were efficient and moved rather quickly so as not to waste my time, upon completion of loading they ensured all items requested to be moved were on board and ready to transport to the next location. Unloading was as efficient, everything was placed where I requested, and the items in need of assembly were completed, the cost was in line with my estimate, reasonably priced, great group of movers.

    Disorganized and unreliable from start to finish…read more I clearly explained multiple times that this was not a full house move, only remaining items left by another company. That information was never documented, and I had to repeat it in every conversation, which caused ongoing confusion and an inaccurate estimate. I was told the movers would arrive sometime in the afternoon. Around 2:30, I texted for an ETA and was told they would call when they were 30 minutes out. Later, I was told their prior job ran long and that due to driver hour limits, they could only do part of the move. Shortly after, I was informed they were not coming at all due to a truck accident and would need to reschedule. No confirmed time was ever provided for the next day. Because I needed everything out by the 31st, I booked another company and attempted to cancel. I first texted my move contact and was told to call, but when I did, it was 5:42 PM and the office was already closed. I waited on hold for over 30 minutes and then sent a cancellation email. Only after I had already tried to cancel by phone and email did I receive a text saying they had everything ready for the morning, despite never giving me a confirmed arrival time. Poor communication, poor documentation, and inconsistent scheduling. I would not recommend.
