Photo for size/scale: 10' uHaul contents fit into the uPack unit.
Simone K.

I moved from San Francisco to Washington DC in May for graduate school. Rather than be gouged by uHaul's bidding $$$$ to move a one bedroom apartment, I tried U-Pack. For $1350 I was able to include all my boxes and furniture to make the long trek across the country. Bear in mind, I did not have sofa and some furniture was in boxes to be built but we were still left with some space when loading the unit. It seems smaller than it is, but it is also sufficient for smaller moves -- eg. studios, single person. I opted to load the unit in the San Jose ABF location (it is a bit more expensive if they bring the unit to you, but the option is available) and unload in Maryland. The personnel were accommodating in both locations and it was such a good experience. The only "cons" and they aren't really cons, just FYIs: - required to bring your own lock and the system itself is not the most secure -- that said, everything stays on the ABF property so I do not think they have a big issue with theft (or attempted theft) - the unit is moved on a forklift so there will be minor shaking and shifting even with the most cautious driver -- secure your goods! We did a bush league job of that but none of my items were damaged! - only open on the week days (long hours, but not available to retrieve on weekends) - you have to load 2wks out from your arrival (I loaded May 1st for a May 15th unload across the county) I would/will use this service again. Especially if I want to load or unload on-site and know I can store at an ABF facility. This company knows what they are doing and has a solid product.

Delivered neatly and on time

See all

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!

After going through a pretty traumatic break up and having to move unexpectedly, I immediately…read morecontacted Bookstore Movers through Yelp. I had had a great experience with them just last year when I last moved and knew they'd be able to get the job done again. My project was immediately responded to and they were able to help me move two weeks later on their soonest available date. The three movers, Pat, Renaldo, and Kevin were incredible. Communication leading up to the move and theday of was great. They were able to move all my large furniture within 2 hours. Everything was wrapped carefully and efficiently. They were kind and thoughtful, helping me make adjustments to the furniture layout once we got to the destination. Their positivity through one of the hardest situations I've ever gone through was much-needed and made me feel confident in entering this next chapter. I even had a last minute change to the destination (originally everything was going into storage but I ended up finding an apartment just in time), and the professionalism and patience from the entire Bookstore team through this change was excellent. Pricing was reasonable yet again and came out to about $500 (excluding tip) for the truck fee and moving of 16 large items. Thank you Bookstore Movers for helping me when I needed it most!

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.

After we listed our home for sale, I started getting incessant texts and phone calls from them at my UNLISTED phone number. When I asked how they got it, I was told it was in the MLS listing! That is an obvious lie and very easy to disprove, and yet they thought I would believe them. I have also gotten multiple pieces of physical junk mail from them. I would rather move all my furniture myself than hire this company.

I strongly advise anyone considering Doyle Moving Services to review their contract carefully, as…read moreit contains highly predatory and legally questionable clauses for Maryland consumers. Most concerning is the inclusion of a "Confession of Judgment" clause. This aggressive legal tactic attempts to strip consumers of their right to due process in court, and it has been explicitly illegal in Maryland consumer contracts since 2020. Furthermore, their opening paragraph states they "in no event function... as an interstate or intrastate common carrier." This is a massive red flag, as it appears to be a deliberate loophole to dodge the state's mandatory cargo insurance and liability protections that legitimate movers are required to carry. Upon requesting that Doyle strike these clauses from their contract, they refused to do so, because they "do over 1,000 moves a year and send the same contract to every customer we service." Unfortunately, that contract contains illegal and predatory language.

"White glove" customer service began the moment I called about services. Cecelia took my call and guided me step by step, she even allowed me to do a FaceTime tour so I didn't have to fill out forms on how much furniture, how many boxes etc. I received email, text and phone calls to confirm service and given status update on arrival. The entire crew was friendly, respectful and efficient. When we learned our house had "too much" stuff they quickly (and behind the scenes) brought a 2nd truck for moving day. The problem solved before there was a problem! Top notch moving company!!!

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. I had a great experience and the stress that it eliminated was well worth the money. 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 did end up paying for an additional hour, but it was WORTH it! I would recommend them and I would use them again. The next time I will be more realistic with myself about the time it will take and plan accordingly.

I spoke with someone on the phone who gave a low quote, had immediate availability, and I understood the terms of the quote which were they charge a full hour just to come to your house for travel and then a two hour minimum. Our move went two hours over the minimum. This was not helped by the fact that they insisted on taking their time to wrap everything in plastic wrap even when we had some cheap stuff that we said just throw it on the truck we don't care, and disassembling things that really didn't require it. Our house was only 900 square feet and we did not have all that much and were moving less than a mile away, not across the state or country. We had to finally stop them and say this is getting to be too long and decided to dismount and move our TVs and bed frames by ourselves the next day. We were fine with paying for the extra two hours. Then comes the surprise: A $400 FEE FOR MATERIALS. What materials? Plastic wrap and packaging tape, and I suppose depreciation on their moving blankets? Seriously folks, this company will get you one way or another. Make sure that you have wrapped up everything yourself. Their workers were personable and hard-working, but the business model here is to ensure you go over the two hour minimum and to charge an exorbitant rate for materials. Do not be deceived on the phone when making the initial appointment by their very knowledgeable and reassuring booking staff. That's why I thought a two star rating must have been a mistake. I was talking to a real person. The text messages that were sent seemed to have prepackaged responses and I ask if I was talking to a bot they said no. They claimed their Yelp rating is low because they "don't pay for reviews like other companies." Well, I'm a real customer and have paid dearly to provide you, the unwitting consumer, with this review. Moving is stressful enough. Getting ripped off is just insult to injury. Their phone number will come up as spam on your phone, and if you've made it this far reading this review, you can understand why. If you're desperate and have lots of cash to burn, this company will be great. However, avoid if you can!

From start to finish, the entire experience was excellent. Everyone was extremely professional and genuinely great to work with. Calvin arrived at my home and walked through every room with me, took inventory of my items, answered all of my questions, and assessed my needs. He was very responsive and had a quote back to me very quickly. On moving day the crew showed up right on time and took such great care with everything. Every piece of furniture that needed to be disassembled was carefully taken apart, wrapped and protected, and then reassembled in my new home. They were especially impressive considering the challenge they had at my new house -- they had to park at the top of the street and carry everything down a very steep driveway. Two full trucks and several hours of unloading. In spite of the circumstances, what really stood out to me was how positive and pleasant they were throughout the entire move. They were always smiling, joking with each other, kind to me, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They made a stressful day so much easier for me. The price was also very fair and reasonable for the level of service provided, and much lower than other quotes I received. I would absolutely recommend 1st Class Moving and Storage to anyone looking for a professional, careful, and hardworking crew. I am grateful for the outstanding service they provided and truly could not be more pleased!
