From the beginning, this move was stressful and poorly handled. My scheduled arrival time changed…read morefrom 12 PM to more than an hour later, despite this being an emergency move with an added fee for expedited service. Given the extra cost, I expected better communication and timeliness. When the movers arrived, the main gentleman (Ronald Calle, who I later learned was the owner) appeared irritated and unfriendly from the start. Once I explained the job, Ronald became visibly frustrated while the female worker handled most of the communication and initial work. Midway through the move, he told me he did not speak English and directed all questions to her. Overall, the interaction felt rushed, tense, and unprofessional. Because I was already under a strict deadline to vacate my apartment and return keys before the leasing office closed, the delayed arrival, slow start, and communication barriers created unnecessary stress and caused me to miss my deadline and incur additional costs. Unfortunately, this was not a positive experience, and I would not use this company again. So, I am submitting this to warn others... since I regret not listening to others reviews.

They did all this without a word of complaint, in an impressive timeframe, and for a price that beat every other estimate I got. I would recommend Delmarva Moving to anyone. Well done and Thank You!

When we unloaded I just directed where things went and they placed everything right where I wanted it... They would offer to help do extra stuff but I felt I could handle it, but it was very nice of them since it wasn't in their job description. I will always use this company and I recommend them 100%.

I wish I could give them ZERO stars!!!! So, we get an estimate for a move that seemed very…read morereasonably priced, so of course we jumped at it. We gave our information about the move itself and was quoted the job would be done with 2 men and would only take 2-3 hours. Sounds great right? WRONG!!!! The movers came with 3 men and packed items that we did not want to be packed and at their own sweet time no less. When we noticed the time it was taking, we tried to ask where they stood in the cost and time. Well, here's where it all goes left... The price has now doubled!!! Wait...what??? And they weren't even done yet? Let alone taking the property to the new place. So we call the cops because we can not believe the price gouging that is taking place. Oh wait, did I fail to mention how one of the packers made a statement about the kind of car we drive? Insinuating that we had a lot of money or something. I'm sorry, but what does our car have to do with you packing up the items in a timely manner? NOTHING!!! Now back to the police, they finally come only to let these individuals take the items anyway. Despite the fact that they jacked the price through the roof. We are in utter disbelief as to what just happened. So in return, we took to Yelp to let it be known...DON'T DO IT!!!! In the end we were charged for a third man that was not agreed upon in the beginning right along with the jacked up price because the time it took. Also, let it known, this company has been in business for 30 years...supposedly. But they don't give you anything in writing. Not a quote, not an inventory sheet...NOTHING! So, they have taken the items and we have nothing but an empty house. I bet we know better next time. Now on to the BBB!!!

They kept me informed throughout the process and were extremely trustworthy and personable, especially when I had to run out of the house to handle something leaving them alone and when I ended up having more items than originally planned for the move. 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. Services: Furniture disassembly and reassembly, small furniture moving, wrapping pictures, mirrors and frames, moving storage boxes.

As I read all of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I have to wonder how I could have had the…read moreexperience I had. Could I have avoided the stressful outcome I endured by just asking them upfront if they would move all of my boxes? If they would stay on the job until it was finished? It may sound silly to ask this of a moving company, but read on. I'll start by saying that the three men who handled my move were mostly professional and careful for the eleven or so hours that they worked. Also, I significantly underestimated the number of boxes I had to move. Serena was very helpful when I initially contacted the company. I provided an inventory of my belongings and some photographs and she worked out a quote that was agreeable. On moving day, her team showed up on time. They were all personable and receptive to my requests. By early afternoon, the moving van was filled up ... but there were still about a hundred boxes in the old house. Suppose the new house didn't have enough room for everything? I asked if they could help me take the remaining items to a storage facility. They pointed out that by the time the van was unloaded, regular offices hours at those facilities would be over. The new house was about a 20 minute drive from the old house. I left in my car and the movers left in their van at around the same time. I arrived at the new house expecting them to be right behind me. For quite a while, they didn't show. I tried calling them but they didn't answer. After about 45 minutes, they arrived. They took a break for lunch. That's fine. Why didn't they just tell me? I labelled each of my boxes with the name of the room where I wanted it to go. For the most part the movers put the boxes in the correct rooms. However, the next morning I could not locate my toothbrush, razor, and a number of other items so I had to purchase replacements. They also dented a wall when moving the couch. They compensated for this by deducting a credit from my total bill. Sometime between 7:30 and 8:00 pm, the men had finished unloading the moving van. The boxes were distributed fairly evenly throughout the house and there was still free space remaining in each room. The team leader started preparing my bill, so I thought they were done for the day. I settled the bill and anxiously tried to figure out how I was going to get the rest of my boxes moved. Was I going to call another moving company? Rent a cargo van? Over the next week and a half, I made ten trips, usually after work, from my old house to the new one, squeezing as many boxes as I could into my little sedan. I finally got the last of the boxes moved. Not fun for an old guy with a bad back. The entire episode left me exhausted and wondering if somehow things could have been handled better. A few days after completing the second stage of my move (and nearly two weeks after the first stage) I received a voice mail message from Serena. She wanted to know how things went. She already knew there had been an issue with me having too many boxes for one trip because one of the movers had called the office on the day of the move to advise her. In her message Serena said that the office was currently closed for a holiday but that I could call her on her dedicated line. Unfortunately, she didn't realize that her line had been switched off for the holiday and was not accepting messages. A day or two later we did manage to connect. Serena was careful to ask me just a few general questions so as to avoid suggesting that anything had been handled improperly. At the same time, she wanted to know what had happened and what options, if any, I was given. I eventually told Serena that none of the movers offered to make a second trip to collect the rest of my boxes and I believed that was because they did not work after 8:00 or 9:00 pm. Serena assured me that sometimes they worked past midnight. They keep working until the job was done. Except in my case. She also agreed that the three men could have moved the last set of boxes within 90 to 120 minutes. Serena told me she would discuss the matter with the movers and get back to me. But I never heard back from her. I still don't know what to make of this entire affair. I work in customer service and I use all of my resources to ensure the all of my clients' needs are fulfilled. That's what they depend on my for. Of course, if I knew there was an option of making one more relatively short trip to complete the job, I would have gladly taken it. The company would have gotten more money, the movers would have received larger tips, and I wouldn't have faced the ordeal of moving a hundred boxes a dozen at a time by myself. Ouch!

Beds, sectionals, and other furniture that had to be broken down, was broken down by the movers and reassembled at the new location.

Attentive and made sure furniture and items were placed where they belonged and oriented the way we wanted it...even if the wife was wrong about it the first time, they did not hesitate to get it the right way.
