It was Bookstore Movers' excellent customer service that earns them 5 stars. The 3 movers showed up early and worked very quickly and efficiently. In that haste, some items were damaged and I offered that feedback in the follow-up survey. I quickly received a call from the company offering to discount my move and send Walter Davies, a furniture repair person, out to make furniture repairs. That concern for customers and making things right earns Bookstore Movers 5-star service. Walter Davies was excellent and thorough in repairing my furniture. If you have a move coming up, call Bookstore Movers. Lisa C.

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.

When looking for movers I knew Yelp wouldn't STEER me wrong. It was easy to request a quote from…read moreseveral Yelp guaranteed moving companies then communicate with a few to get the best rate. Charm City Movers was professional from start to finish. I completed a Moving Quote Request on a Saturday, and they called me on Monday with some questions. Andrew was very friendly and professional. My move included moving furniture from White Marsh to Mount Washington, with a stop in Timonium to drop off and pick up more items. A three stop move with lots of stairs at each location was quoted at $750. This was reasonable since I had anticipated spending about $1,000. Their window for a Friday move date was between 10-12. They called when they were about 20 minutes away and met me promptly at 10 AM. Four guys in a huge truck arrived and got right to work. Within half an hour we were on our way to the second stop to drop off a bed and retrieve the rest of the furniture. Off we went to the third and final stop to unload everything. I was nervous about large items fitting up a narrow stairwell, but the guys assured me that if I had measured right, they would have it all fitting in the apartment in no time. That they did. When everything was unloaded, the driver went over the listed items and made sure everything on the list had been moved and put in the apartment. The price quoted was the price I paid, and they were done in exactly two hours. I tipped each guy in cash and felt a huge sense of relief when they drove away - knowing moving day was successful and complete. Great customer service and fast and efficient movers.

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!

That was a big mistake. This time I went right to Doyle. You get what you pay for, my friends. Ryan, the owner, was very responsive and we made an appointment to do a video walk-through of our condo. We did the walk-through, he asked a lot of questions and then he promptly sent an estimate. We have a lot of things so it took five guys and two trucks. The crew leader contacted me the day before to confirm the details and they showed up promptly the day of. They were incredibly friendly, fun, and energetic the entire time. And very polite. They treated all of our things very well and didn't have a problem moving any of the weird odds and ends we couldn't find a way to pack. When we arrived they put everything in the new house where we wanted it and even though we could tell they were suffering from the extreme heat and the weight and amount of our things, they never lagged or complained. They put the beds back together quickly and correctly as well as the dining room table. I'd be in hospital if I had to move all my stuff. At the end, the crew leader went over the paperwork, explained all the final charges line-by-line, and took payment. Very professional. We could not be happier. They were a great crew of guys. Ryan has a great company and I couldn't recommend them more.

There were two men on the job who handled my items with care and asked me questions about what was suppose to go the whole time.

The starting prices are reasonable and my only complaint would be that if there was at least another person it would have went by faster.

I am extremely happy with the results and will definitely be using and recommending them to friends and family in the future. Thank you Carlos and Jonathan for your help! Overall, my move was a little over $800 (took about 5 hours with 2 movers for a local move from a 3-story townhome to a 2-story condo ) and I gave a generous tip considering the amount of work they did.

Beyond satisfied with Bulldog Movers!…read more We used Bulldog Movers for our move today and are beyond satisfied with the entire experience. Even before moving day, the office team was great to work with. They easily accommodated my request to change to an earlier moving date with no issues or concern, and Serena's call‑back and confirmation were timely and professional. On moving day, the crew arrived looking uniform and professional in company t‑shirts, and even their truck felt refreshingly understated - no over‑the‑top "we are moving" advertising, just a clean, confident presence. Our inventory was not light: an upright piano, riding mower, granite table tops, and heavy bedroom dressers. Pricing was fair and reasonable for the amount and weight of what we moved. Carlos, Donald, and Aaron (spelling?) wrapped our items with real diligence and care. They were respectful, informative, and even took the time to show us things we didn't know about our own furniture - like how to disconnect a recliner for easier transport. Their combination of shrink wrap and fabric blanket on every piece (except the mowers) was a master class in swaddling our "babies." The team worked within their estimate, stayed pleasant in the hot weather, and delivered truly professional moving services from start to finish. Plus, Bulldog's website is appealing and the online service request process was easy to use. We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend Bulldog Movers to anyone looking for a careful, courteous, and professional moving company.

Having moved 9 times over the past 40 years, my wife and I have considerable experience with movers…read moreand moving companies. I found the staff / office members at Von Paris who I spoke to be mostly responsive and professional. I had numerous interactions with them, because the crew members who actually packed and moved us were lousy. All nice folks, but the crew members who performed the packing, loading and moving did so with far less care and proficiency than ANY of our prior 8 movers. The worst we've had out of 9 different moving crews. Maybe Von Paris has better teams of movers. In my experience, the performance of the crew chief determines how well the crew performs. For our 3 day move the crew chief's role seemed to be limited to delivering and picking up trucks --- we barely saw or spoke with him and never saw him provide any supervision. Absent on-site leadership for 3 days, the crew members worked at a slow pace, with little urgency. Long lunches --- that we brought in for them on 3 separate days. Packing of our household items was very random and inconsistent --- lots of paper wrapped around items that were not fragile; while a number of fragile items were poorly protected, some even placed at the bottom of boxes. While the randomly poor packing suggests a possible lack of training, it seems more likely a lack of caring. Von Paris did honor our claim to repair or replace 7 items we submitted as damaged. Meanwhile, our contract required us to submit our total damages within 2 weeks ---- and we only learned of other damaged items after that point. Most significantly and important to be aware of --- I brought to management's attention a major fabrication in the bill of laden. At the end of the move I was provided a "moving contract" to sign ....that had NO entries for the number of containers that were packed. All were empty. A few days later I asked Von Paris to explain how they determined the number of size of the boxes/containers they had packed and for which I was billed. They sent me a copy of the "moving contract" I had signed after delivery ---- but with numbers for the boxes/containers entered where none had been entered when I was asked to sign. Why does this matter? They billed me to pack the very same number of boxes / containers they had used for their original estimate. Meanwhile, to reduce that cost my wife and I spent a month packing and moving MANY boxes, knowing that by doing so we would reduce the number of boxes we would pay Von Paris to pack. Despite that, Von Paris fabricated the number of boxes they packed, later entered those numbers on a contract I had already signed, and then billed me for more containers and packing than they performed. In bringing this to Von Paris's attention I received a modest admission this was a departure from their procedure, but there was no acceptance of the vastly lower number of boxes I counted them as having packed. Instead, they represented they "uncovered the actual number" of boxes they packed - lower than the fabricated number they billed me for - but appreciably higher than what I counted. I was billed for their new number. Being so grateful to no longer have to deal with this company, I resigned myself to move on, while also committing myself to sharing this experience for others to be aware of. Long story short: you are not hiring the people who are running Von Paris, but the crew members they send to actually pack and move your stuff. If you hire Von Paris as a moving company, I wish you better luck than we had with the crew that packed and moved our stuff.

I can't say enough about the Abingdon, MD. location of Von Paris Moving & Storage Company. The…read moreestimator was extremely accommodating and professional. Mark McMahan, a 5th generation family member came to my house and did a very thorough walk-through. I'm not sure how, but he was able to closely estimate the manpower and time it would take to move all that I pointed out and told him I was taking to my new place. On moving day 5 polite and professional men arrived at my house right on time. They worked well as a team and seemed to know exactly what each of them would get to work on, ie: one guy put together all the special hanging clothes storage boxes, one started to break down beds etc. They began at 8:30am sharp and I believe they did not finish until about 5:30pm taking only 2 brief 10 min. breaks. When we arrived at the new place, I noticed they took each hanging clothes box to the specific closets which I designated but did not open each box and actually hang the clothes. When I mentioned that I thought the estimator, Mark had said they hang clothes in the closets, they began to open all the special boxes and hang my clothes. I was curious and asked one of the guys what they normally do and he said they are only required to leave the boxes in the correct closets. Without saying a word, these guys began opening all boxes and actually hanging the clothes in closets. When I realized that was not what they ordinarily do and told them it wasn't necessary and that I'm sure I misunderstood the estimator, they were quick to say "we can do it, we can do it, no problem at all" it was obvious this crew went the extra mile! They were a pleasure to deal with, in fact so much that I felt compelled to write my 1st review EVER on Yelp!! I signed a contract stating the possibility of it taking longer than the estimated time and was quite pleased that the estimate was right on.

Scheduling this company and receiving a quote that was SPOT on, was amazing. The communication from Ana was perfect. She kept me in the loop about arrival time, send out a confirmation about my booking, and even helped me change my original date to something sooner. Originally, I was quoted a timeframe between 1-5pm, they showed up an hour EARLIER! To some this may have been the part where you panic, especially if you are running small items back and forth to your new place, to me?? This was PERFECT, because I was able to have a headstart for my long moving day. The truck was large enough, both movers came in and were polite, patient, and did not make me feel uncomfortable when handling my items. They wrapped all dressers, tv stands, coffee tables, and TVs and ensured everything was delivered carefully. No frills, no stalling for extra time (you do get charged hourly if you exceed your allowed time), and just straight to business. All in all, I do recommend booking for your next move, the price is unbeatable and the workers are great. Once again thank you very much!
