Moved two pianos up and down from 2-story building. Very conscious professionals who knew how to safely move very heavy and valuable instruments. The total cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend PDS for your moving needs! read more

PDS Moving Delivery & Storage - Moving a studio upright piano down the stairs. - Movers Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

They did a good job loading everything up, but when they delivered to the new house they left things in the garage that were clearly marked where to go basement bedroom, or store room and I didn't realize it until I came upstairs and both crews were gone. They didn't put all the cabinets together where they took out shelves, they lost the bag of screws that were to put the patio table together, lost the power cords for tv's, had a couple of mops missing. I called the owner and he said they may have left the missing items on the truck and he'd check....never received a call back from them, that's not good business. Unfortunately I don't think I could recommend them, without better supervision read more

PDS was easy to communicate with and schedule. I called 4-5 movers and PDS had the best prices. Oli and Aidan were friendly, and worked efficiently. They were easy to work with. The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because my mattress wasn't wrapped as I thought I was told it would be. This resulted in minor snags. I will use them in the future. read more

Owen and Jerry from PDS were great! My company needed some furniture and equipment moved from Lawrence KS to St. Louis MO and they took care of everything for us. They were efficient, neat and wonderful to work with! read more

Very nice and efficient, I used this company twice already and no problems. I just recently had Vince and Owen, very courteous and helpful.

These guys were great. Period. I wish they could be everywhere and move us when we need to be moved, but alas, we are no longer in Lawrence. We used ABF U pack, and had the PDS guys come and move our furniture and boxes into the ABF truck. We used 3 guys. They were all very friendly and very careful with our things. With ABF, you pay per foot used, so it was important that they were thoughtful when packing the truck. Two of the guys carried our things to the truck, while the third stayed in the truck and packed our things like a puzzle. We had several persnickety pieces of furniture that they handled like a breeze. They were quick and efficient. When we arrived in Seattle, our next set of movers commented on how well our things were packed into the truck. What a compliment! read more

PDS Moving Delivery & Storage - Mover in the truck. - Movers Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Perfect intown move. All my stuff was moved carefully and arrived without damage. Movers were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

We recently used PDS for our move from Lawrence to our storage unit in the Kansas City area. The crew we had was outstanding and we were impressed with their service and professionalism. Ian, Orion, Oli, Joachim, and Jacob were fantastic! We will definitely be requesting them again when it is time to move from storage to our new home! read more

Very impressed with your crew - hard workers and good attitudes.   Fortunately it was 77F in West Des Moines so that was a relief. Also liked the move was broken up into two days.   This did allow me to say a few goodbyes before heading north. read more

I will forever praise this moving company--even though we moved to Rhode Island. We had hired a large moving company to move us from Kansas to RI. They never showed up. In two days, we had to go rent a Uhaul and hire movers. I legit called P.D.S. Moving a day before we were supposed to leave Kansas to book some movers to help us pack a truck. They showed up and did a great job. If you need movers, you should hire these guys. We had hired them twice before and they were great. Once when we were moving furniture within Lawrence, and once for packing and moving to Topeka, and unpacking while in Topeka. Every time they were great! read more

Moving stresses me out! But moving with PDS relieves about 75% of that stress because they all have this very good-natured, relaxed attitude, like nothing can faze them! The team of workers with PDS is incredibly friendly. They moved my office in downtown Kansas City and they took the time to learn our names and ask us individually if we needed extra items moved to our new space and if we had everything we needed. Easy tear down and move of the old office and fast set up at the new office, including reassembling all the office furniture. Moving is never fun or easy but PDS took care of all the really sucky parts! We had lots of extra items and furniture we no longer needed in our new space and PDS took care of that all for us too! Thanks PDS. read more

I moved from Atlanta to Overland park. I scheduled and paid for two hours of service. They stayed a little longer and helped me with my move, and made it extremely easy for my family. They are beyond nice and professional. I would recommend them to anyone who is moving, best moving company i have ever had. Sad to say the owner might be retiring soon, hope you can schedule them before they close. read more

Moving is the worst, there's no way around it. You're stressed, exhausted, surrounded by boxes, and everything is chaos. Scott, Aidan, and Luis were the best part of an otherwise extremely stressful moving day. They were on time, flexible, responsible, fast, and very pleasant to work with. They met every hiccup with a reassuring "We'll figure it out, don't worry," and I felt 100% comfortable leaving them to take care of my belongings while I did other moving-day things around the house. Hiring PDS was money extremely well-spent and I will use them for all my moving needs in the future. I really cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

PDS took all of the hassle of moving and turned it into the smoothest experience I have ever had. I contracted with PDS to move the contents of my house and a storage shed at the end of the summer of 2015. All of my dealings with Chess (owner / operator) were cordial and professional. In our initial discussion, I told him the size of our house and approximately how much stuff would be moved, and from there he gave me an estimate of manpower and time, which gave an estimate of overall cost. I don't remember the exact figures, but PDS works on a system where each worker costs $X, and they are billed out in 15-minute increments. While this might seem like it could add up quick, I can assure you that PDS does not mess around when it comes to efficiency. My wife and I had already packed up our old home and had it waiting in boxes in the living room and basement. This was the accumulation of 10 years of living in a 950 square foot home with a basement. We kept a few things separate that we were going to move on our own, but for the most part had everything broken down to boxes and furniture. In addition to our house, we had an off-site storage shed at a storage business because we had been clearing out the home in anticipation of a move and we were putting it on the market while trying to showcase the available room within the home. When we talked to Chess, we expressed that we would need the storage and the home moved to our new home, and he said that would be no problem. We worked it out so that PDS arrived at the storage facility early in the morning while we were at the title company signing the mortgage documents. After we were done with our portion and we were waiting on the keys, I headed by our old house to make sure everything was in order. Not only had Chess and the crew packed up the storage locker, but they were also finishing up clearing out our old house when I arrived. This was probably about 90 minutes after they started overall -- and this included the drive time from the storage to our house. Through proper planning and efficiency, PDS had planned on two big trucks (what they estimated we needed from what I described) and they packed them full in record time. I left to return to the new house and arrived just before they did. At the new house, the move went just as quickly. We had pre-marked our boxes with locations, so they were delivered quickly and efficiently. Furniture also distributed through the house very quickly, including some moves of large pieces up and down stairs. Chess and his team had also done some extra packing work on some of our larger furniture pieces to ensure they were not damaged in the move, which I found both thoughtful and very professional. In the end, our entire move was done in about 3 hours 45 minutes, and everything from our old home and storage was in our house in less time than it takes to watch two Star Wars movies. We were very impressed with PDS's speed, efficiency, and care, and we would recommend them to anyone considering a move in the area. read more

I recently moved a short distance in lawrence but because of my oversized furniture and living in a complex that was fairly difficult to move furniture out of I decided to hire some movers. I searched around and read reviews (which weren't many for lawrence) but I saw that PDS seemed to have more and they all seemed good to me so I went with them and am now adding this review because they do deserve to have great reviews and be known for what they do. I scheduled months in advance so I didnt have a problem with scheduling a time that was good for me. I liked that I could text them if I had a small questions about moving/packing and they would get back to me within 24 hours. On the phone he was really nice and all about helping me out time wise and money wise and gave me all the information I needed to know. During the moving process they (Adam and Brody I believe were their names) took good care of all of my things from boxes full of breakables to just furniture/ glass that I was concerned about and they didnt mind or complain about working in the rain we got that morning. I was happy I could keep all but one piece of furniture with drawers packed. The guys were very nice and punctual with their time. It took a little over two hours to pack up the truck and about two hours to unpack all my stuff since I was living in an apartment with a lot of extra storage so my things definitely added up. I was very greatful for all they did, I couldnt imagine doing all of that ourselves. The only difference I would have preferred was if I had gotten a message or call earlier in the week to confirm the date and time they have in their books after scheduling so far out; but I easily fixed that with my own text to them to be sure I was still in their schedule. read more

These guys are truly amazing! Having never used professional movers before I was highly apprehensive about hiring movers. After an exhausting search I stumbled across PDS. These guys were very well reviewed which most of the other companies in the KC area certainly can't say the same. I called up and spoke to Chess who answered several questions I had. After researching them online and speaking to them on the phone I had a really good feeling about this crew so I decided to go ahead and make an appointment. They charge by the hour so you don't have to worry about the weird flat rate pricing structure some other companies use which requires you to make an inventory of what needs to be moved. On moving day Chess and Jeff were in touch with me via phone and showed up when they said they would be there. I showed them what I wanted moved and they immediately started taking items out to the truck. These guys were incredibly careful with everything they touched! All furniture was carefully wrapped in blankets and plastic wrap in a super careful manner. After loading everything up they made the drive from Lenexa over to Fairway and started unloading. I couldn't have been happier with the job these guys did. Nothing was damaged which wasn't a shock since these guys were super careful. You can really tell they actually care about doing a good job. When they were all done the bill ended up being LESS than what some of the flat rate guys were quoting me, the rate was incredibly reasonable especially given the quality of the work this crew did. I would definitely recommend these guys! Although they are located in Lawrence they don't charge extra for KC customers since they do so much work in the metro. Also, you can go to their website and see the exact guys who work for them so you won't have to worry about some temp workers showing up on moving day like other moving companies use! read more

PDS Moving did a great job! We had a piano and a truck-load of furniture they had to move down a flight of stairs, so it was a lot of stair climbing and heavy stuff to haul. They moved the piano with some type of electric dolly, which gave me much more peace of mind than if they tried to muscle it down the stairs. They guys who did all of the loading/unloading were very friendly, efficient, and trust-worthy. They were just a group of good guys, which, unfortunately seems to be a rarity in this line of work. I have had items stolen or broken in previous moves, and not once was I worried that this would be the end result of this move. They were conscientious about wrapping certain pieces of furniture to protect it for the move, and the guys really hustled, but not in a careless or hurried manner. Honestly, I cannot think of one negative comment to say about them. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND PDS MOVING. I truly believe you'll be a happy customer, too. (: read more

I emailed PDS to get help with unpacking my Pods container. When they gave me the price, it turns out I had to pay for 30 minutes of drive time for their truck to come to my house. Thing is -- I need manpower, not a moving truck to unpack my Pod. I emailed them back trying to see if I was able to get the help without paying for driving because it didn't make sense but I never got a reply. So, be warned, you have to pay for drive time or plan to be ignored. read more

Used them for an in town move and everything went great. Reasonable prices. On time and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Thank you! We were in a bind due to our help cancelling very last minute (last night at 11pm) I called on behalf of my sister to help us get her moved on the busiest moving day in Lawrence. He texted right back and although they were booked solid he kept in touch and called as soon as they were done and were there immediately making time for us! Quick to load and get everything we needed them to move that we couldn't. Amazing service on such a short notice. Thank you doesn't even cut it. read more

First I must say that I have moved all over the U.S. The last 7 years and hope to high heck I never have to move again. No movers are perfect. Anyone that's moved a lot knows you're going to get some dings here and there in your stuff no matter how careful the movers are. That's just the nature of the beast. Having said that, during our current move I wanted to avoid the big guys. They are NO better than a good local company. And I wanted to support a local company. PDS had great reviews on Yelp so I called them up. The company is owned by a great gentlemen and family man. Very polite as well. After our initial contact, through my own stupidity I somehow put his business number on my blocked call list. I still don't know how I did that but regardless the owner called me numerous times over the two weeks I had him on call block. I finally called him back after a couple of weeks when I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting a call back from him. Well I finally discovered why, because I had him on call block. When I fixed that I saw that he called several times over those two weeks. I finally got him on the phone and explained what a tool I was for somehow putting him on call block. He was very polite and said he understood but I know he must have been thinking "What a dumbass". I scheduled a day and time for his movers to come to our new house in raytown, pick up appliances the previous owner had left for us, and drive them to our old home in wichita 3 hours away and swap them for our newer appliances at our wichita home and then pack up our stuff and haul all our stuff from wichita to raytown. The movers were very fast and polite. Much much faster than the big guys like Allied or American we have used in the past. Plus the PDS movers treated our stuff a little better than the big guys who don't really give a crap about your stuff. So even though I know dings and dents are going to happen during moves it was nice to see movers TRY and keep that to a minimum. So to sum up: The owner is a very polite, understanding local business owner and family man. His movers are fast!, polite, hard working guys. I have a lot of respect for blue collar workers. So I ask you all, if you use PDS please tip the movers well. His quote was not only reasonable, it obviously was under the big guys. Small and local are much hungrier for your business than the giant don't care corporations. In fact after the move was over the movers had come in under budget! Bonus! I think it helped a lot that we had almost 98% of our stuff already boxed up and ready for them to just load onto the truck. So if you want to save time and money spend the time and energy to box up your stuff in advance so they can simply move everything and don't have to run up your bill taking time to box everything. PDS is a fantastic local moving company and well worth giving a call in your search for a moving company. If I ever move again I'll shoot myself in the head, but if I don't die, I'll be calling PDS for sure. Thank you PDS! read more

We cannot say enough good things about PDS. These guys knew exactly what they were doing. Showed up on time, handled everything with efficiency and care at the same time (hard to find such quality!) If you are looking for moving services in Lawrence, look no further than PDS!!! read more

This is a great moving company - I highly recommend them. We have hired movers before and especially given the price and quality, this was definitely my best experience. They sent two guys that moved very quickly and took better care of my furniture than I do. They didn't break anything (and I've always had at least one item break with past movers). They loaded the truck quickly and efficiently and wrapped, covered or strapped in anything that needed it with care. I didn't have to bother with the hassle of getting a truck, dolly, pads or anything, they brought it all. They arrived on time and did not move slowly (even though it was warm outside and they had to go up and down stairs). Ches was also really great in handling the booking and payment. Good luck moving - these guys will help make it so much easier. read more

Bailed on me 3 days before my move day. Had another job that "spilled over" so I guess my quick $300 move wasn't important. Recieved a call back after canceling where he shifted the blame to me saying I just gave him the address which "confirmed the appointment". Nine days ago I sent that email with my address. read more

The move was fine and the movers were great. However they damaged the door to our apartment while moving a desk. We had it repaired for only $50, but could not get anyone at PDS to respond to our claim. No returned phone calls, no explanation for the failure to respond and no apology. The customer care is horrible. We will be moving again in a year and will need to use another company. read more

Needed our grand piano moved. They were on time, very well equipped, careful, and excellently staffed. The move from north of Topeka to Lawrence went very well. They are also fully insured so that offered peace of mind. read more

My husband and I were both SO impressed with PDS Moving! Not only were they courteous, kind, and professional, they went out of their way to help us. They took extra care with our antiques, and moved all of our heavy items for us. They were awesome and we would recommend them to anyone! Thanks so much Guys, Linda Wedman read more

Called alot of other moving companies, big and small, also priced out do it myself avenues, but this company beat them all. They showed up on time, loaded and moved our apartment in the time quoted and then unloaded at the new location. Professional work ethic and great service. Recommend highly! read more

Excellent service! They were on time, worked quickly, and were very careful. When a box accidentally fell and broke a couple plates, they promptly reimbursed us. Their rates were very reasonable, even for the beast of an antique piano we had them move. They handled it with ease. These guys are the top of the line in professional moving. They have our trust and we'll be referring them to others. read more

It has been over a year since I moved. I hired Moovers thinking they would be professionals. The company gave me an arrival time between 10am to 2pm. We waited and waited and finally I called. I talked to a helpful lady a couple of different times telling me they were hung up on another job. By the time 5:30pm rolled around I was extremely mad and asked for a manager. I got a VERY snotty manager from St. Louis who told me that I got too big of a discount... Like that was my fault. I even asked if they had another crew they could send. The answer was no. I had to turn over the keys to the new owner of my old house by the next day. No time to find someone else. Our movers finally showed up around 5:30pm and it took to almost 11pm to finish. In the move, they broke the headboard from my bedroom set, along with the corner of my dresser. Things happen, I get that. I filed a claim, as I was told to by the movers, and have followed up a few times. I have NEVER received one phone call back from the company nor any money for my loss. read more

I have used Chess and his crew three times over the past 2 years. Each time was due to a family emergency needing to get elderly parents relocated quickly. His crew were very professional and understood the sensitivity in the move and respected the distraught elderly parent being moved. I will alway use them and tell everyone how great they were during the entire process. Their pricing was perfect and I try to support local vendors as much as possible if they are great! So call Chess and he will take care of you! read more

Some national movers moved our stuff from the coast to our son's garage in Overland Park. I needed some movers to move everything out of the garage and into storage less than 3-1/2 miles away. Through Yelp, I requested 5 quotes and the quote from PDS was the best. In the end, PDS kept to the quote with no sneaky add-ons nor hidden charges. Our moving guys were Dylan and Jarad and let me say they were FAST and professional with the way they handled everything from providing extra cushioning where the last mover's cushioning was inadequate, to carefully filling in every nook and cranny in the truck to make sure our 3-4 bedroom houseful of furniture and stuff could fit in to the 20' truck and make one trip. Success! All done in one trip and under the estimated time (thanks again Dylan and Jarad!). The billing in quarter hours really helped save some money, too. I have another partial move and then a full move coming up and you can bet I will use PDS again! I highly recommend them!! read more

These guys did a great job! They came and loaded up my apartment very quickly and even unloaded everything in the rain. They were careful with my belongings and happy to move things where I needed them to go .They were very friendly and did an excellent job. I would definitely use them again! read more

Our family really appreciates the effort put in by the entire PDS team throughout our move! The whole process was genuine and professional - it's fantastic to be able to deal with real people, who care. I would gladly work with PDS again, and will recommend them 100% to anyone I come across! read more
