I've moved MANY times - even from the east coast to the west coast and back - and I've never had my furniture damaged. This was a simple Philly move and these guys dented and chipped a few pieces of furniture. Sad about this experience. Moving is stressful enough. Now I have to look at this beat up furniture that look ugly as hek. read more

We lucked out with this company. They are TRULY stellar. Tom, Corrado, and Bob did a fantastic job with our move. These guys know exactly what they are doing. They are responsive and knowledgeable, and they are also good-humored, easygoing, and kind. I stopped worrying after the first five minutes, when I saw how they were working, heard the questions they asked, and saw how carefully they listened. That truck looked like a perfectly done puzzle. Our stuff was moved expertly, and we could communicate easily. These guys take pride in doing a really good job. Also, moving is plain stressful, and these guys bring some good karma with them. They are just super calm and thoughtful. The price was very reasonable (another local company wanted twice the price!). Sam (in charge) responded promptly by phone and in emails. I contacted a lot of moving companies, and did a lot of homework. Still, I didn't know anyone who had used Stellar. They had been recommended by another moving company that had no availability. I could not have been more satisfied with Stellar! They lived up to their name. I HIGHLY recommend them. read more

Truly stellar. Great price. There's really nothing else to say! Flawless experience will use again.

I can not say how much I love this moving company. After they starting moving me out of my south philly home I was at ease. They are professional, courteous and efficient. Troy and his team got the job done and have smiles on their faces in 90 degree weather. I definitely would recommend this company for any move you may have. If you need overnight storage of your furniture they have that as well. I will use them in the future. read more

Stellar Movers - Movers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hired Stellar about a week ago for my move from South Philly to Manayunk. It was a 3 bed/3 floor move to the same and these guys took it in stride! I had everything from furniture to boxes. Mack, James and George were efficient and friendly. This was the first time I've hired movers and was very happy with the service. Everyone followed COVID safety precautions including masks even though it was possibly the hottest day of the year. Can't thank these guys enough! read more

I would not recommend Stellar Movers to anyone. These guys are atrociously slow. I have moved about 3 times now with honestly the same amount of stuff. So I had an idea roughly what to expect. This time I even had everything packed and ready to go. A local move 10 minutes away that should've taken no more than 6 hours ended up taking around 10 hours. They sent 3 guys and a truck and we had negotiated an hourly rate upfront with all the specifics of elevator access and how many floors at the destination. On 3 separate occasions when I didn't see either of them in the house I go down to the loading bay to see the three of them either taking a smoke break or on their phone (I paying these guys by the hour!) then when we get to the destination with all my stuff on their truck, they increase the hourly rate (after they have my stuff on the truck). What the heck?!? I would certainly not recommend these guys to anyone. Very disappointed. read more

Stellar Movers was great. I used them recently to help me move into a 3rd floor apartment with no elevator. I called 4-5 moving places in Philadelphia, and Stellar Movers had the best rate. On moving day, there was a small issue where only 2 movers were able to come instead of the 3 that I was initially promised, but because of this they charged me a lower hourly rate, and they said that even if they went above the 2-hour minimum window (because of there being less movers), they would still only charge me for 2 hours. They worked very hard and quickly, so that even though there were only 2 movers, they finished well within the 2 hour timeframe, and I got a discounted rate because there were 2 movers. I ended up giving them the difference as a tip anyway because they did such a great job. read more

We were very satisfied with Stellar Movers! Troy, Robert and Dave were very professional. Our move consisted of two pick-ups (one in New Jersey and one in Philly) before getting to our final move in location. They were on-time, efficient, and the move was completed quickly. Not a scratch on any of our furniture or belongings. They pointed us in the right direction on how to get all the correct permits secured from the city of Philadelphia to ensure we had no issues. Highly recommend! read more

The name says it all, STELLAR! These guys are truly outstanding movers, and I truly cannot recommend them enough. Due to a set of ridiculous circumstances, I've hired these gentlemen 5 separate times in the last three months. Moving is exhausting and tedious, but Stellar Movers saved the day every time. ON ALL OCCASIONS, it is my absolute pleasure to report that the movers were always on time, if not early. The movers are always courteous, respectful of my home and belongings, efficient yet careful, and last but not least, they take pride in their work. ALL FIVE OF MY MOVES HAVE GONE SEAMLESSLY. 5 moves, and not one single broken item. The reservation process couldn't be easier, and my requests are always answered within the hour. Their prices are very competitive, with no hidden fees or anything like that (that nonsense drives me up a wall). The quote they provide is comprehensive, as is the "pre-move email checklist" they send prior to the move. I truly cannot recommend -- or THANK -- Stellar Movers enough! read more

These guys were awesome! So careful and efficient, was amazed at their speed and ability. A friend was here with me and she was just as impressed and plans to use them for her move. Will definitely recommend! read more

Although I did not select stellar movers as they were not available on my preferred date, I do have to commend them for the professionalism and very quick and thorough responses to my inquiries about scheduling a move. Sam was very accommodating and had we used their services I'm sure we would have been just as impressed. read more

I will never not move without these guys again! They were early and called ahead. Once on site, they were super friendly and asked exactly what was moving. What they did in just over 2 hours would have taken me all day. They were careful, meticulous and quick! Total cost was super affordable, especially as it relates to other quotes. Thanks for everything! read more

I looked online and saw that STELLAR had four five-star reviews; it didn't occur to me to look at the fact that many of those reviewers had written ONE review for YELP, including the ones that YELP doesn't recommend reading. Other good things: Dave got back to me re: availability within an hour of my request for movers, which was June 8th. On the day of the move, the movers Justin and Greg were mannerly and polite. I moved out of a condo where I had resided for two years. I discovered, during the move, that STELLAR movers had smashed a hole in the wall behind the entrance door to my former apartment. When I told Dave, who was in charge, he replied that the building should have stoppers behind the door. To quote him, "It's partially our fault, but 99.9% of apartment buildings in Philadelphia have stoppers behind their doors." In other words, it was the building's fault that Dave and his team smashed a hole in the wall. My mother happened to be there helping with final packing and pointed out that the movers who had moved furniture in two years prior hadn't smashed a hole in the wall. In addition, the Stellar team had placed keys in between the door to keep it propped open; they were aware there wasn't a stopper. What shocked me was the lack of contrition. Dave was annoyed with my concern - not apologetic. I said, "I understand accidents happen," but I still had difficulty with his apathetic attitude. He said they could knock a few dollars off the bill; specifically, $25. Or his partner, Troy, could spackle drywall on it if he was available later. "I'm a mover, not a carpenter," Dave said. I understood that he had a job to do in moving; my concern was how much money was going to be taken from my security deposit and he simply didn't care. That night he and his friend did return to the apartment and spackle the wall. I don't know if it's acceptable to my previous landlord and what she will deduct from my security deposit, but I want the record to show that Dave went back to fix it. I needed a bed disassembled and sent the directions for this the night before the move (in addition to having a hard copy of the directions there). Dave was having difficulty with a stripped screw - understandable - and another part of the bed that the original assemblers had put together. This, fortunately for him, wasn't a problem when it came to reassembling because the headboard couldn't be moved into the bedroom door of my new house. The other piece of furniture disassembled was an IKEA dining table. There were times during the moving-out process that the movers were nowhere to be seen for up to 15-20 minutes. Perhaps they were arranging and rearranging boxes in the truck. When it came time to move from area code 19106 (Penn's Landing) to 19127 (Manayunk), the movers took 90 minutes to get here. The street on which I live can be hard to find and I saw the moving truck driving across the street from the railroad tracks - circling around the neighborhood! (that's more money on the clock! I was told - and agreed to, as I was desperate on June 8th to get movers - that 20 minutes on the clock and $15 in fuel would be added to the move because my move was "not within Philadelphia city limits" - as if Manayunk is in the suburbs?) - twice. Finally, Dave called and said he couldn't find the street. I had written in an email to go left on "the hill going up Main Street" though, as Dave told me, "you probably meant Ridge Avenue" (he was right about that) and they couldn't find the street or its sign to turn in (it's clearly labeled across from a train station - again, no apology for taking over an hour and no money deducted from the bill). At the end of it all, a two-bedroom apartment moved from the above zip codes to a small two-bedroom house cost $855. They did not reassemble the furniture because (a) they could not get the headboard into the bedroom and (b) the 90 minutes it took them to travel 8.9 miles cost so much that I did not want to spend one more minute or dollar. I was shocked at how long it had taken. I was also taken aback that Dave didn't deduct an hour - $120 - for the time they wasted riding around Manayunk. Stellar Movers likes to tell people what they should do. They definitely lack humility and manners. I expect to have a response to this review telling me what I did wrong, but I have been completely accurate and given props where deserved. I hope that this review prevents other people from choosing their company. I did it because I was duped into thinking they were good based upon reviews - again, all written in May of 2015 - on YELP. I was also desperate because this was a last minute move for me. My thoughts are that if you're working with the public, especially during a stressful time in their lives, be polite. And you "should" plan out your travel routes better, in addition to familiarizing yourself with the furniture you'll be working. read more

They were totally unprofessional! We had a move scheduled at 1 pm and they underestimated the previous move and weren't able to show up until 4pm! We are unable to move after 5pm bc of building rules so had to cancel them. The didn't try to make us the first move the next day or try to fit us in! We got an iffy story about maybe they could the next day if they ended their moves early. The next possible time they could move us was a week away!! It left us in a huge bind for end of June moving!! Totally unprofessional and unreliable! read more

We couldn't have had been a better moving experience thanks to the Stellar movers crew! We moved from a 1 bedroom walk up in central PA to a 2 bed two floor walk up Philadelphia. Troy called the morning of the move and asked if it was OK if they arrived a little early. Yes! Once arriving the team quickly mapped a plan before efficiently getting to work. The apartment was empty in less than an hour. After arriving in Philadelphia, everything was carefully placed in the appropriate rooms. All the while the crew couldn't have been friendlier. They truly made the moving experience a delight. We would use them again and will highly recommend them to friends & family in the future. read more

If you need to move, this is the company to use. After obtaining estimates from several companies, we choose Stellar. Their prices were clear, Sam responded quickly and was very helpful, and there was no drama (And doesn't just the task of moving create enough drama?). Their prices were very competitive and their service fantastic. They called me the day of the move to confirm arrival time. They showed up when they said they would and quickly began moving all of our items. Each of the three movers was friendly, personable and worked incredibly hard. Unlike other movers I have had, these guys didn't take their time. They worked hard to move us quickly knowing we were paying by the hour. Great experience from start to finish. We would use Stellar again without hesitation--and so should you! read more

Just used these guys for a move from the city to the suburbs- couldn't have been happier! Arrived early- got the truck set up down our tiny street and THEN started the move clock! Got everything out and in the truck fast, even the huge couch which involved a lot of finagling. Went so fast we added another stop before the final destination and they were fine with it. Nice, hard working, fast. Best rate around (I called everyone). Highly recommended!! And discount for paying ca$h! read more

Quick, easy, and professional. This company has a two hour minimum vs the three hours I found while searching competitors. No price hikes for the end of the month, and they come prepared with all covers, bands, etc. Well worth the money. read more

They were excellent! On time. Professional. Nice. Super happy!! I admittedly had wayyyy more stuff to move than I anticipated and they didn't mind at all. Also didn't break or scratch a thing! read more

Great experience with Stellar Movers. The crew called to confirm the morning of the move and came on time. Very professional and efficient workers. Quickly mapped out a game plan and started loading up the truck. I had not 1, but 2 locations for pick up, and Stellar movers tackled both with ease. They were able to work around schedule of a closing/settlement and moved my home out of the city and into the suburbs without a single scratch/break of an item. They turned a very stressful day into a happy one! Would definitely recommend these guys to my friends. read more

We had a great moving experience with Stellar Movers! We just moved from our third floor walk up apartment in Narberth to a 5th floor walk up in NYC, Scheduling and getting a quote was straightforward and easy. On moving day the guys were friendly, professional, and efficient. It was an all day move in the heat, up many, many stairs and they had a great attitude! They carefully wrapped our mattress and other furniture and there was no damage to any piece at the end of the day. The cost was very reasonable considering the labor!!! It was a stress-free move and we were very grateful for a job well done. We would highly recommend Stellar Movers ! read more

I was so happy with these guys! They were fast, professional, and everything arrived without a scratch. Thanks to Dave, Koof, and the rest of the team! read more

GREAT SERVICE! We needed to move a VERY heavy piece from store to our house. They did an awesome job, very simple to contact them, great service (extremely careful to not damage anything), very friendly and great price. Couldn't ask for anything better! read more

Three guys came. They were all business and moved us up to Upstate NY. We just finished unpacking. Out of a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment, not a single scratch on anything. I'm amazed. Do yourself a favor and go with these guys. read more

Easiest move ever!!! The guys were very professional, friendly, and efficient. I was in a third floor walk up with very narrow hallways and they didn't complain at all (previous movers did the entire time). I needed them to make three stops and they had no problems. The price is fair and I would recommend and use them again!! read more

Fantastic movers! Quick, Friendly and constantly kept telling me to stop helping. I'm actually referring them to a colleague as I write this review. Def will use them in the future. read more

Simon & Don moved me from Philly to Charleston, SC. They did an excellent job of packing & unpacking. They arrived on time both days, departure & arrival. They worked fast & efficiently. Both really nice guys, respectful & courteous. They set up a couch, my bed & a couple other things for me. I called over 10 moving companies for this long distance move. Stellar had the best price & quickest delivery. Note- I did ensure to book this move well in advance. Highly recommend them! read more

First time using a moving company and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. I reached out for numerous quotes and I liked how clear and concise Sam was when putting the quote together. Obviously, the final number was based on how long everything actually took but it was very close to what was estimated. They called the morning of to let us know they'd be arriving slightly early. (Fine by me!) Upon arrival the team looked over the space and what was moving and quickly got to work. Took about an hour and ten minutes to clear the apartment out. They disassembled any furniture that called for it. Once we arrived to the new location it took a little longer to unload because of the elevator. However, still done in under two hours. They placed everything into the appropriate spaces and assembled the furniture that was taken apart earlier for safe moving. No damage was done to any of the walls or furniture. The staff was extremely friendly, efficient and moved quickly. Hiring Stellar Movers saved us so much time and probably a few disagreements ; ) What they did in 3-4 hours would have taken us all day! Worth every single cent! read more

***Update. After posting an honest review, Stellar posted my email correspondence with their company which included my full name in it. The point of Yelp is to give your review of a business so someone else can learn from your experience, which is why I posted. Not as 'blackmail.' If you read the emails, all information in the email is reflected in my post so I am not ashamed of it being included. If anything, it solidifies my point. Although they are trying to show my "true character", I think they are showing their own character. We had to contact the business directly to ask them to remove my full name from their post. (Which they did, thankfully.) It is absolutely crazy to think that they felt it was appropriate to include identifying information, which goes against Yelp policy. I still stand by my opinion that being four hours late is unacceptable. I will not be bullied into removing my post. Pros: 1. They were easy to get in touch with and were responsive to emails/calls. 2. None of our items were broken/damaged in the move. 3. They were only $120/hour, which was cheaper than some of the other movers we investigated. They also charge to the 15 minutes, which is appreciated. Cons: 1. Much like the previous reviewer, they told me on the phone that they would be there between 12-1. (Later they told me I was scheduled in the book for 1, but I am positive that they had told me between 12-1.) They called at 12:30 stating that they would be running late due to the fact that their first move underestimated how much stuff they had and that they were running late. They did not arrive until AFTER 4:00pm. In my opinion, this is not acceptable. As movers, they should have known immediately that the first move had too much stuff. Why was my move sacrificed because someone else filled out a form inappropriately? This clearly is an issue for them because this is the second review on the site with this same problem. 2. Due to their extreme lateness, they had to move on 76 during rush hour which increased the time, therefore increasing the amount I spent. 3. I had hired cleaners to come at 4:00 due to the fact that they should have been moved out by then. They weren't, so the cleaner had to clean around my items. This made the cleaner take longer, costing me more money. (The movers' response was that I should not have scheduled cleaners that day, per their website suggestion. They made reference to their movers having to work around the cleaners as well. I am pretty sure that out of anyone, movers should understand that most people don't have flexibility on the dates they move in and out of places. If I had the option I wouldn't have had cleaners come the same day but I couldn't get in until then and people were moving in the next day.) 4. I sent them an email asking for a discount based on the fact that being that late was inappropriate and unprofessional. I received a rather long and lengthy email back spinning the issues back on me and basically insinuating I should have appreciated the care they took of my items becuase it rained, that their movers had to work around my cleaners, and that they had to deal with fresh paint at the house. (I wasn't aware of any painting that was occurring. I'm a renter and was told painting occured several days prior.) I am pretty sure that none of those issues had an impact on how late they were. Talk about blame shifting. They also stated that this was normal practice for movers to show up that late because it is difficult to know how long a job will take. Although I understand that it is impossible to get an exact time, showing up multiple hours after it is scheduled is not appropriate. This isn't my first time at the rodeo- if movers were always 3-4 hours late, they wouldn't be in business. 5. Check out their response to the last person to post a negative review. Even if the person wasn't providing all of the facts, I can't imagine that a professional would be that snarky to a paying customer. Being condescending to a person giving an honest review is not how your gain business. If that review would have been posted prior to when I booked, I wouldn't have gone with them on just that alone because it is a waste of time to deal with people who are unprofessional. Overall, I would not use Stellar Movers again nor would I recommend them to anyone. I hope that they realize areas that they can improve because small businesses are hard to keep afloat and their current practices aren't going to help them any. read more

Showed up on time. Initially very friendly but one of the guys got into a verbal agreement with my front desk which was very unprofessional. Damaged a couple of my things but very quickly took care of reimbursement. Thought it was odd they didn't show up with hand carts to help move a 26ft truck. read more

Mack, Tom & Mike helped us with our move last weekend. They were amazing! So polite and helpful. It was the hottest weekend of the summer and zero complaints. Just genuinely helpful and also very careful and did not rush through the move just to get it done. They made sure we were happy and satisfied throughout. Very reasonably priced also! Highly recommend! Leslie P. read more

Thank God for these guys. They moved my stuff on very short notice, everything was perfectly placed for maximum space in my new studio. Huge adjustable bed, very wide screen TV, massive desk somehow put together nicely even though it had been broken in a previous move. Not a scratch or ding even though I had no way to box the wide screen TV. They were very nice and knowledgeable; the manager in my new building recommended them and they really came through. read more

Outstanding and cheerful service; stellar indeed! These lovely guys helped me out in a very stressful situation, collecting my shipment of possessions that had just arrived from London. I'd booked another recommended moving firm but after two delays with customs, the week of the Pope's visit and that ensuing traffic mayhem, the original firm couldn't fit the new date into their schedule and actually recommended Stellar. So glad they did! Even though my things arrived somewhat beaten up from their transatlantic crossing, Troy and his team were very reassuring and a short while later when they arrived at my Philly apartment they set everything up quickly and cheerfully even bringing me a much-needed cup of coffee. They bent my lovely old iron bedroom back into shape (though they hadn't done the damage) and could not have been more efficient, reasonable, or delightful to work with. The best welcome to a new city imaginable. read more

I highly recommend this moving company. They were true to their name and did a stellar job. Easy to schedule, great communication and very responsive with all inquiries along the way. They showed up on time, called me when they were about 15 minutes away and didnt waste any time. We did a brief walk-through when they arrived and Chris explained exactly how they were going to get this done. We moved our entire, 3 bedroom home and had/have A LOT of stuff. It wasnt a problem and Stellar navigated the wildly narrow streets of South Philadelphia with ease. It was also pouring rain for the first 2 hours of move. They were very careful with our belongings and managed to keep everything dry. Most importantly, nothing was damaged. They were meticulous in assuring that our walls, floors were left unscathed and furniture was carefully placed where we wanted them. They worked their tails off get the job done by 2pm. I would use them again and again and will be recommending them to anyone who asks. They know what they are doing. They were also very cool guys who were friendly, respectful and polite. Lastly, the price was fantastic. read more

I recently hired Stellar to move me out of a rowhouse, and was very satisfied with my experience. Dave and his crew were fast and efficient as you would expect a moving company to be. They were also super friendly, punctual, respectful and logistical-thinkers. I would recommend these guys to anyone moving. read more

Unbelievable! These guys were amazing!! They worked with us on a multi-part move that other companies said could not be done. They were well-organized, planful, and extremely helpful. They really were talented movers and very nice guys. I can't say enough good things about them. BOOK THEM NOW! read more

I had a great experience with Stellar movers. First off, setting up the appointment was so easy. I was lucky to get the time I wanted with just booking 4 days ahead. The movers kept me posted when they were running a few minutes behind and were apologetic when they arrived. They did not waste even a moment of time with moving and packing and getting everything settled. All three of the movers worked very efficiently together and they were very friendly and reliable. They looked at each item with me before moving it to ensure that if something was wrong with it (scratch, wobbly, etc...) we were all on the same page about it. They were honest if something was damaged because of them. I had a couple of shoe boxes with inexpensive water glasses in them which were shattered (one from the move to storage and one from this move but they brought it to my attention). They packed everything in the truck very securely by wrapping things in blankets and tightly securing them in the truck with belts. They provided EVERYTHING which made the experience so much better and stress free considering quite a few movers in Philly don't even have a truck and charge the same amount just for labor. These guys even assemble which is the cherry on top of the sundae. I got 5% off my total bill for paying in cash. Added bonus... They prorate to the nearest quarter hour! One last thing, their base fee was for THREE movers and two hour minimum which I felt was a great deal. Most places I called had only two movers and two to three hour minimum. These guys are professional and they are not out to get your money, they genuinely are here to help. There were no hidden fees (some people conveniently forget to mention the $100 service fee on top of the hourly charge) and this experience surpassed my expectations. I will definitely hire them again and will recommend them to others! read more

Stellar came and moved me from Manayunk to a third bedroom apartment in Old City. Worked extremely hard and fast. Couch was almost impossible to fit up the narrow hallway, but they finagled it in. Worth every penny! read more

I used Stellar Movers to pack my possessions and also to move me to my new apartment. The guys did a great job packing my stuff and labeled everything very clearly so it was easier to unpack and nothing was damaged. The move itself went quickly despite the freight elevator acting up. Troy and Dave and the rest of the guys who packed and moved were very efficient and worked hard. They came on the time planned for the packing and the moving. They were very professional and I highly recommend them. Not only did they move everything, but Troy hooked up my TV, cable connections because I was not sure how to and he also fixed a drawer for me that the bottom came out of. I think that shows what they are like better than anything else. read more
