UPDATE, 10/16/2018: I was contacted by Wolley Movers to resolve the claim regarding my TV -- I am happy to say the company (Wazeer, specifically) went above and beyond what they insurance policy allowed to resolve my claim. Thank you very much. I am appreciative of the effort. I'll likely use their service again, because I do think the moving team is great. I'll expect a better experience next go round. I still cannot and will not give 5 stars because while they did resolve my claim, working with the office staff was the most unprofessional encounter I've ever experienced as a consumer. Seeing in more recent reviews that the lady I had an issue with (and so many others) is STIILL at it, gives me pause. Such a shame for an otherwise awesome team. INITIAL REVIEW: I've moved with Wolley Movers 3 times -- they have a very good moving crew. The guys are fast and attentive (Eddie's crew rock). BUUUUUUUT! During my last move, however, my 6 month old TV ended up cracked. I notified the company as soon as it was discovered and after much back and forth and no returned calls, I finally received a call from Denise, who is the most unprofessional, incompetent, secretary if you will that I've every worked with. She advised that their insurance only pays 30 cents per pound (be aware) for items and went on to tell me that I did not notify the company immediately and signed a waiver. I advised that the guys left my house with blankets still on the TV and they were notified of the damage upon discovery. Simply put, the crack is not that big of a deal. This review is more so aimed at the unprofessionalism of the office staff -- their unwillingness to communicate and lack of skill when it comes to conflict resolution has left me baffled. I literally had to advise Denise that I am not one that is easily intimidated and I do have an attorney...she proceeded to hang up the phone (also saw this in a review on yelp), but not before in so many words advising me to kick rocks (I'm of course paraphrasing!). I was going to go through the motion, but then I thought, you know what...not worth it. I'm pretty objective and balanced in my approach/thinking, so I'd say...absolutely thee best moving crew, but worst office staff (such a sharp contrast). Choose your movers wisely, especially if you have expensive stuff! Good day!!! read more

My experience with Wolley Movers went above and beyond the excellent service they provide. I injured myself during the move - accidentally cut myself on glass - and the movers were there for me every step of the way. They calmed me down, wrapped my wound, gave me advice and ultimately put my concerns / well-being above their own. Wolley's movers not only gives you quality moving service for an extremely fair price, but they are genuinely kind people that care about the people they provide that service for. I'd use them again and again! Highly recommend. read more

Terrible experience from the beginning. Starting from the lady on the phone who had an attitude. Ending with the completely incompetent movers who were sent - these movers were YOUNG BOYS who couldn't lift anything. This resulted in them not being able to lift our China cabinet and take apart our dining room table into the building. We had to have these items THROWN AWAY into the alley because they couldn't lift them up a few stairs. We had that dining room table for over 30 years and because of these incompetent people, were not able to have it brought into our home. Not to mention all of our items which were scuffed up and scratched due to their sheer unprofessionalism. Please go use a different company, save your money and personal belongings. read more

This company Scratched My walls trying to Fit My couch in the Basemen. Instead of Stopping when it didn't fit. My walls have Red scratches and scrapes that I have to now PAY for someone to paint over. It's ridiculous and unfair EVEN if I signed a contract about Damages. This was my first new house and it should not have been treated this way! Disappointed highly. read more

Denise made it easy to get a quote, and book the time and date. Rob's crew was timely, and efficient with bringing all my studio amount of belongings from A to B: from all the way on the South Side to all the way on the North Side! I packed everything myself, but it was worth the rate for booking the movers so I didn't have to do it myself! read more

I really wished I had read the reviews before hiring this company. Literal scammers with their hidden fees. I was originally quoted at $400 for a 2man crew for 3hrs for moving 4 pieces of furniture; a bed frame (no mattress), 2 small night stands, a dresser and an armoire from an estate sale. I was told I would be receiving my a copy of my contract in my inbox, never received it. Crew shows up and instantly they are a bit rude. They sit in their truck because there's too many people even though I told them they were expected and to park to the side of the house. They charge me for sitting in their car! They tell me they need a 3rd man to move the armoire, I told them that is not what I was quoted for and I was told I only needed 2 people. They said they wont be able to move without the 3rd man, I said ok, because I really need these things moved. They then leave the armoire and I still have to pay for the 3rd guy!! On top of that they started moving very slow. The agents at the estate sale told me the crew was being extremely uncooperative and moving extremely slow. They move my item to the storage where I wanted it, but they are now telling me they have to charge me for long distance walk because my unit is too far from the entrance!! WHAT? I have never heard of this. I told them I don't want my item wrapped in seran wrap, and just to wrap it in blankets, and they seran wrap the items and charge me for each item!! They're speaking spanish so I can't really understand that they're saying but I know they're talking about me because they would look at me then say something then snicker. They took the bedframe apart but I don't know where the nails are. I was originally quoted at $400 and my final move charge was $720!! They REFUSED to tell me how much the extra charges were literally until they got to the drop location. Literal scammers. Stay away and save yourself the headache and wallet. read more

I used Wolley Mover last year in August via recommendation of one of my friends. They were everything you could ask for in movers. They were early which worked for me because I was early and they immediately got to work. They were organized and very careful with my things. Even a few items that weren't packed properly they brought boxes to throw everything in so we could keep it moving. When we arrived at my new place the move went smooth. No dents or bumps to any of the walls or furniture. Even when they saw me trying to move certain pieces they would stop me and move it for me which I thought was so kind. Typically movers are focused on getting the move done and moving to the next appointment. Yet my move was done quickly and didn't run over. I will definitely use them again when I need a mover. read more

I had a less than pleasing experience. There were 3 guys that showed up. One of them sat in the back hallway of my building playing music videos on his phone. I caught him sitting back there while I was loading my car with wardrobe bags because the movers refused to move them. You know what else they refused to move? MY TVS. When I called and they did the quote, the TVs were part of that. Also, they didn't want to take lamps or my large rug. I seriously have never had movers refuse to move items. That is what you are paying for. I work for a very large property management company and I will make sure that NONE of my clients or any of the properties we have downtown, ever use Wolley movers. Ps- they broke my mirrored vanity table and then proceeded to argue with me about it. read more

Very professional fast on time on budget hard workers courtesy friendly. I with use again recommend to everyone.

This was our third time using them. Rob's crew was great! Lara and Chico were very helpful and made sure our move went smoothly and our personal items were well taken care of. They made good decisions on our behalf. Would use them again on our next move!! read more

DON'T USE! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR BELONGINGS! They moved me last week. And I've noticed SEVERAL items missing. When I called they said nothing was left on the truck. BS! So where is it??? We only went from Point A to Point B. I should've used Big O Movers or Reo like last time. I guess you get what you pay for!!! NEVER AGAIN! #PettyThieves read more

I moved yesterday from Lincoln Park to Bucktown. 3 stars to the customer service side; The reason why I gave the review 3 stars though is that the person I spoke with on the phone was not the best. She quoted me very high the first time I called. Then when I called back and she quoted me a high price than the first time. I also felt she left out alot of details about the company policies that I found out after I already booked the move. Also, my time frame was from 1-3pm. I called to see where the movers were because I moved some stuff by myself and she told me about 1 hour and 20 minutes out. After about 40 minutes, the movers were at my house, so they had to wait about 20 minutes for me to drive back. 5 STARS TO MY MOVERS! Overall my movers were AWESOME, polite, and very helpful. First time using movers in general, and my movers Monkey & Carlos (I think those were there names) were super helpful and careful with my stuff. They were polite and made me feel 100% less stressed with my move. I was impressed with how much they could carry and how fast they got my studio moved out. Thank you so much for all the help! read more

The move went well until they broke my $175 lamp and then refused to pay for it...I was offered $30 for a $175 lamp! I would not recommend them because if they break anything they will not take responsibility!!! I used them twice and I referred them to others and can't believe that this how they would treat a loyal client. read more

These guys are amazing! They hustled from the minute they walked in to the moment they finished. They carefully wrapped everything, and didn't scratch a single thing. Ronaldo was the lead guy and was pleasant, eager, and unbelievably helpful. My quote was over the phone, and needless to say, they under quoted how much it would cost by a little bit. Ronaldo carefully explained to me line by line what the discrepancies were and how much additional I was looking at without pressuring me at all. I highly recommend this company for their service and price. Even after going over the quote, they were extremely affordable and I will use their services again. read more

They were quick and flexible but a lot of my stuff would end damaged and broken. I used them twice but will not be using them again. The cost is too much for anything to be damaged. read more

My roommate and I scheduled a move for a 2 br apt and had Rob's crew. Rob and his crew showed up promptly and made sure that they recorded the start of the move once they started moving stuff into the truck. We were so genuinely impressed how quickly and CAREFULLY these three guys moved all of our crap. I never knew how much one guy could move at once it was truly amazing. Along with how well they moved our things, they were all very polite, professional and did not complain at all. They were even able to take apart an IKEA bed frame that we didn't have the tool for. All in all, the move took about 5 hours and they successfully moved everything with no issues. My roommate and I are very grateful for Rob and his experienced crew because there is absolutely no way we would have been able to move all of our belongings from one third floor apt to another third floor apt. $$$ well spent and would definitely recommend Wolley to anyone!! read more

We had Erick and Brandon for moving from Chicago to South Bend. Although they were late for around 50 minutes because of the traffic, they were SUPER FAST and finished loading in 30 minutes! The same movers/driver came to South Bend, and they finished unloading in 40 minutes. Movers were nice and professional. They new what to do. I strongly recommend Erick and Brandon. The email communication with Elizabeth at the company was also enjoyable. She was professional and very responsive. In overall, this company is very affordable, but their service and quality of moving were awesome! read more

This is the second time I've used Wolley Movers, and I will continue to use them for all my future moves! They are so fast and efficient; they made moving a breeze. It was amazing to watch them stack four boxes on their backs per trip, especially compared to my new roommate's movers, who were moving one lamp at a time. We moved from a lofted second floor apartment to another second floor three bedroom apartment, and it took three movers from 9:30 AM (they were a little late to our 9:00 AM move, but we didn't mind!) to 3:30 PM. One of my boxes also broke, and the movers immediately brought it to my attention so I could assess any damage. They wrapped all our furniture well, though, and dis- and re-assembled our dining room table and my canopy bed with ease. Wolley Movers are well worth the price - professional, quick, and everything else you'd want from a mover! read more

I hate to do this, but I'm going to crash the party here. I hired these guys because of all the positive Yelp reviews, but I will *never* recommend them to anyone. When I booked them, I explained very carefully that we had A LOT of boxes. I gave them a damn near perfect estimate of how many and what size, and they told me that 3 guys should be fine. The guys showed up and almost gasped in horror when they showed up and saw how many boxes we had. They said they hadn't realized that there would be so many. My only worry at that moment was time. They informed me that they had a 1:30 appointment, so I figured they'd try their hardest to not go over the estimated time. Unfortunately, they tried a bit too hard to finish up in time. Not only did they break a few very nice crystal items, but they completely destroyed our dining room chairs. When I arrived at our new place, I saw that they had strapped several very heavy boxes to each dining room chair. The chairs are now in HORRIBLE condition and I'm a little afraid to sit on them. They also stacked boxes full of heavy items onto the boxes marked "fragile". Oh yeah, they also went about 1.5 hours over, so this mess cost us far more than I was anticipating. I'd only recommend them to someone I can't stand. read more

This company has STOLEN a few boxes with valuables and new items in them. Thinking I could trust a moving company to move my belongings without foul play was a mistake! I didn't notice they were missing due to not being able to follow the movers while they were on route! And having such a busy schedule which has only allowed me to unpack little day by day. For anyone moving please count and write down all if your items like inventory and check/ or have someone check that list when they move everything in like you are doing inventory. Take pictures as well. I didnt think I would have to do that since I and my family members had seen these boxes were LOADED ONTO THEIR MOVING TRUCK! But most important, NEVER CHOOSE A MOVING COMPANY THAT STEALS! SOME THINGS ARE IRREPLACEABLE. I had lost things from my childhood, items given to me from lost loved ones, expensive decorations. WOLLEY MOVERS HAD DONE ME A DISSERVICE. read more

I selected Wolley movers because fellow Yelpers had good experiences, but my experience definitely wasn't great. For starters, the crew showed up nearly 40 minutes late. If you've ever tried to move in or out of a Chicago high-rise with a 2-hour elevator time, you'll understand what a nightmare this is. The company sent 3 guys instead of the 2 I had booked to make the job go smoother-- but it didn't really help since guy #3 spent the first 20 minutes chatting on the phone. I wouldn't say that Wolley was exactly careful with my furniture-- my Crate and Barrel leather sofa has a huge scratch on the front of it now, and it's not the only item that sustained damage. My TV nearly got dropped when one of the movers' cell phones started ringing-- these guys stopped every 5 minutes to take a call or stand around and text. At the end of the day, I handed the "head guy" a cash tip, and asked him to share it with the other guys. The bills I gave them weren't evenly divisible by 3 (I had originally planned on 2 guys), so instead of figuring it out, he had the gall to ask me if I had any more money. Needless to say, I won't use Wolley again. read more

I am being nice by giving one star, but only because they didn't break anything. However, they chose the only thing I have with value and lost an integral part of it.... The antique, marble, top was "lost" on a beautiful antique wash stand- rendering is useless. I didn't even get mad, thinking it was merely an oversight, until contacting the management. They simply told us we signed the form saying the truck was empty, and hence they were not liable. Even after several phone calls, they took no further action. What really chaps my ass is that we spent $30 on Gatorades to hydrate them and tipped each one. read more

I decided to move at the last minute as I usually do. The good thing is that I decided to only move a block south of where I used to live. I called every mover around to move on April 30th...that day was so booked up it was ridiculous. I saw a last minute movers thread on this site whereas someone stated that these guys are usually available. I gave them a call as some of my all time faves (The Professionals & New City Movers) were all booked up. The good people @ Wolley told me they could have someone at my place at 8AM as I requested. I had everything boxed up and ready to go. These guys showed up 33 mniutes late! Usually when I hire movers they are usually 30-40 mins earlier...go figure. The leader of this 3 man group was great and effective..I was told that he had been moving people for over 25 years. The 2nd guy was a little young and took a huge interest in my shoes...good guy though as he worked his ass off and made sure my things were wrapped right. The third guy was a little younger, had on sagging jeans and was virtually useless and in essence caused my 3 hour quote to go up to 5 hours. Now, I have moved from Bronzeville to Wicker Park and from Wicker Park to Lincoln Park and both times that took a little over 3 hours. I moved around the corner and it took up to 5 hours due to an inadequate mover and then the weather stopped cooperating (a little drizzle came into play). It got to a point the kid sat down and watched the other guy reassemble my bed and I looked at him and said, "hey, do you know how to put the legs back on the couch" and he goes, "oh yeah". The 2nd guy even said it was sad that his buddy was standing around in the truck at certain points not doing a whole lot. I guess this kid doesnt understand that people are paying by the hour. Of course I called and complained as that third guy was just unacceptable. The guy that answered the phone (I think Norm was his name) was nice enough to give me some money back due to the issue with the part time kid. I would use these guys again but would make sure to let them know to send me some serious guys and not some kid that weighs 130lbs that is a part timer for last minute movers...oh and by the way he took a dump in the place I was leaving and smelled up the joint read more

We hired these movers to do a small apartment move from one northern suburb to another. They were affordable and very friendly, though some of their tactics were... interesting? Their method of tying all the boxes together with big straps and carrying them on their backs led to a few broken boxes and a couple of dropped boxes-- none of our items broke, but it was pretty nervewracking-- we ended up transporting some of the more fragile stuff ourselves. overall, our two-man team was pretty efficient. We ended up using 2 guys for 4 hours, but we think 3 guys would have gotten it done faster for the same price, and it would have been a little easier on all of them. Next time (oh god I hope there is never a next time) we will probably go with more movers for a shorter time. But for a small, local apartment move, these guys were pretty good. read more

I used these guys yesterday to move my one bedroom on Clark to another one bedroom on Sheridan. They were great. It was the first time I've ever used movers, and sure, it costs a little bit of money, but these guys were great. They were very efficient, funny, and all around fun to work with. We came in just over the 3 hour min, and total, I think it cost us about $345. It was such a good idea to hire these guys, because well... I drive a Saturn. read more

Based upon Megan G's and Kate B's reviews, I hired Wolley Movers to help me move from a garden apt to a 2nd floor walk-up. I told them that I had about 30 boxes (9 of which were books, so give me a break) and some furniture. They didn't even blink an eye. They managed to get most of the boxes in the truck within the first 20 minutes! They ended up spending an hour at the apt I was moving from b/c they didn't have plastic shrink wrap or enough tape in the truck and had to wait for it. When they got to my new apt, they quickly started unloading and bringing my stuff up. Here's where a problem happens. The Chicago Commerce Commission Police (no, I'm not even kidding) pulls up and starts to ask questions. It seems that because the truck is unmarked, they would be getting a citation. This basically stops the movers for 30 minutes. Once it was all settled, they continued to move me in again. All in all, they charged me only the 3 hour minimum due to the snafu from earlier, 6 pieces of furniture to wrap ($10 each) and 1 roll of tape ($5). I also tipped them. My only other annoyance was the fact that when the job was done, one of the guys asked if they could have some beer to take with them(!). This was after I gave them some water and a 12 pack of soda. I might use them again, but am hoping that's further down the road. read more

I've used Wolley Movers twice and I've been impressed with both times. Pretty much the typical setup like most moving companies. You call, they give you a quote and you just pray that the final price falls within that price range that's been quoted. Both times they have been the exact price. Always a plus. Very professional. The woman who quoted the price called and verified my appointment the day before. And both times when the movers arrived, they were 15-20 mins early. Make sure you are ready to be moved when they arrive. These guys don't joke around at all. Soon as they walked in, they started strapping themselves up with boxes to carry down. They are capable of carrying almost up to 4-5 heavy containers at a time with the way they strap themselves up. Amazing. So if you are worried about some movers just standing around, trying to milk the clock, don't worry about that at all. They even asked us beforehand did we prefer to add an extra guy to cut down for an extra fee to cut the moving time down. 1 time I took them up on the offer, the 2nd time I declined. No big deal. Moved everything with no problems at all. I may have had 1-2 boxes with some broken stuff but I think thats to be expected with anyone you use. And their fares are extremely reasonable for time and work these guys put in. Will definitely use again... They prefer cash but for large orders they take CCs. read more

Wolley Movers did come back and set up my entertainment unit I was also advised that I will be getting. Some of my money reimbursed. I will use this company again if they honor there promise great company just miss communication. Thank you Wolley read more

I called Wolley Movers to make an appointment and was informed of the price for 3 hours with 3 movers. My appointment time was on a Friday between 1 pm - 3 pm. Well, I received a call on moving day at 1:45 pm stating that they would arrive between 5 pm - 6 pm. I was a little annoyed about this since I had to cancel a few appointments in the evening to accommodate this new time slot. Also, who wants to move until 8 pm or 9 pm at night? I would have just canceled the move but had already scheduled a Funeral Repass at the new place for Saturday and couldn't turn back now. First and foremost NONE of the guys were wearing masks or face coverings in a time where Covid is on the rise! I was moving from a second floor apartment into a house that is located 2 blocks away. The movers had an attitude as if they didn't even want to do the job! The crew supervisor stated that the charge time was starting as of 5:30 pm while he was inspecting what needed to be moved and while explaining Wolley Mover's policies and procedures. So, I said "let me get this right. You are starting your charge time before you have even started lifting one box?" He replied that "the time starts as soon as the truck pulls up to the location". This was startling to me, but again, I have an important event the next day, that I just can't cancel, so I continue to proceed. The Crew supervisor informed me that he is estimating me for 6 hours, instead of 3 hours. Who wants to be moving until midnight, since they are starting at almost 6 pm? I asked him "what can you guys move in 3 hours, since I was quoted for 3 hours". They also were unwilling to take items unless they were shrink wrapped by them, although I had already bubble wrapped them. He made the comment that "this isn't my stuff, so I could care less". Very unprofessional. But after 15 minutes, I reassessed the time frame and asked how much more would it cost for 1.5 more hours. The crew supervisor immediately got an attitude and replied "Look bro, make up your mind. You already told us 3 hours." I had to look around to see who this guy was talking to as if he was out of his mind. At this point, I'm thinking that this is way TOO MUCH back and forth negative dialogue for someone that is PAYING for a PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. The supervisor then informed me that the rest of the payment is due in cash (which I already knew) and that they would need payment in full BEFORE they would take anything off of the truck! Again, they would not unlock the truck doors until FULL PAYMENT IN CASH IS RECEIVED at the new residence!!! The supervisor stated that some folks try not to pay at the end of the move. Well, guess what, I am NOT one of those people! Wolley Movers wants people to pay in full before the entire process is complete to satisfaction and trust that they will hold up to their end of the bargain!?! This sounds utterly CRAZY! The truck pulled to the front of the new residence and is blocking the entire street while a couple of cars were honking to pass by. One of the movers replied "Well, they will just have to wait!" Again, the most unprofessional people you will ever meet. They reluctantly moved the truck after I firmly asked them to park in the alley. Why would they think that blocking the entire street for over an hour is ok? They were willing to show NO RESPECT for the community. Now keep in mind that I added on 1.5 hours for my move and these guys were still behind on time. The ONLY way we were done in time is that I had 2 of my friends over that began helping unload and bring in boxes from the truck. My final price was double what I was quoted! Also, I haven't even touched upon their moving techniques. They were pulling my dining room table by the legs and were like bulls in an antique store with other items. Some of my furniture has scratches even though it was shrink wrapped just goes to show you how rough they were. They never used a strap to carry anything. I would NEVER use Wolley Mover's again. They are RUDE, SLOW, and UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I will tell ALL of my friends and associates to NEVER use Wolley Movers also. Again, if I was not pressed for a deadline I would have cancelled the move over the delayed time and DEFINITELY would have KICKED these UNPROFESSIONAL guys out of my house. DON'T USE WOLLEY MOVERS! TIP: Use movers that you can pay the ENTIRE balance with a credit card. Most people don't carry that amount of cash on them, especially if you find that you need to pay for extra hours. read more

I gotta find my receipt, I had the 3 guys write their name down. I promised this Yelp! JUST THE BEST! DON'T be like me, I work 24/6 I wasn't ready. The guys plowed in, helped me organize it and get moved. I should have hired them in earlier to prepack me. Lesson learned. They made pit stops at moms and Kev's to pick up other storage pieces. True professionals, go go,go... No damage. Excellent. Great price. Thanks Men. read more

I called Wolley Movers on a recommendation from a friend. A couple Central American guys showed up on time and were absolutely booking it. I didn't have too much furniture(studio) but I thought taking apart my IKEA bed might be difficult. I had lots of little boxes, bags, and random stuff I forgot to pack and they threw almost all into one giant box(@$15 ea). My closet went into the other two of those giant boxes. They didn't have trouble getting stuff down a flight of stairs in my new place. They put the furniture where I wanted it and bed back together but left the boxes, which was perfect in my mind. They completed the job in under the 3 hour minimum even though took a ~20 min detour getting lost on the way out to the burbs(~45 min from initial apartment). They allowed me to ride in the truck with them, which made it much more convenient for me. Nothing was broken except for one crappy plastic plate, which was already cracked and broke straight down the crack. Price seemed okay. I believe it was a little under $400 not counting tip. It was cash only for moves under $500, which was not a problem for me since I had an ATM nearby but could annoy some people. read more

I called Wolley movers to get an estimate a month before my move. I provided them with a very detailed estimate of my boxes and furniture to be moved. As a smart shopper, I checked the BBB and Yelp to see if they were a reputable company. I was happy with my research and booked the move with Wolley movers. Two weeks before and the week of, I called to confirm the date and time. I wanted to confirm that they would have wardrobe boxes as promised and that they would arrive on time. I spoke to George who assured me everything was all set. The movers were scheduled to arrive at 9am, but at 9am I had not received a call and there were no movers at my door. I called Wolley's office and the guy said, we have you scheduled for a 12pm move. I explained that is impossible, I called twice to confirm, I have an email to confirm, and I will be charged an additional $500 if I move out passed my scheduled slot at the apartment. He agreed, that he saw where I called to confirm multiple times, but it's human error and there was nothing he could do. So that was it.... I was furious, they provided no solutions, no customer service, no remorse, and no real apology. His response, "well there is nothing we can do, we will be there at noon". I asked if there was any other possible solution and he got rude and threatened to cancel my order all together. Needless to say, I called around and found another mover at the last minute to get the job done. I would never go with Wolley movers and suggest others don't either. read more

Excellent price and hard-working movers. These guys stopped first at our condo, then our storage unit and packed their truck full with our stuff. They were perfectly punctual, quick, and very careful with our valuable electronics and bulkier furniture items. I would recommend them! The only strange thing is we found an empty box under our ol deck in the new house. It was one of ours, but what was in it, we don't know. Odd. read more

On the upside, they're REALLY hard working. I was amazed at the amount of boxes they were carrying down four flights of stairs on such a hot day. Not only that but they were so nice and didn't stop for a moment. Such troopers!!! HOWEVER, I don't think I would use them again. I have some nice things (like old family furniture and heirlooms), but they weren't very careful with them. The next day I noticed that a table leg of mine was broken (and it's a sturdy table so they must have really banged it around). PLUS, a box that was specificlly marked FRAGILE had another HEAVY box piled upon it, so it was being crushed under its weight. I was lucky nothing in there was broken. So overall, I highly recommend using them, BUT ONLY if you don't have any nice breakable valuables you're moving. read more

Juan and his crew were on time, professional and quick. All items they moved arrived in perfect condition. Office support was also efficient and professional. I had seen reviews on Yelp about their pricing having unexpected charges. My original was $650 and my final was $885 to move contents of a one-bedroom apartment (and we had a lot of stuff). They charge an hourly wage ($130) for the crew to move or pack up your stuff and then additional charges for supplies they use to pack these additional items. There was also a charge for travel time. We had rented 30 plastic boxes from another company so most of our items were in those boxes. Our bigger items (like the couch, queen bed, etc.) had to be wrapped to protect them (charge for wrapping material) and our other assorted items that we couldn't fit in the rented boxes, the movers put in big cardboard wardrobes (we used three of those). It all went smoothly. As long as you realize that your estimate is not your final, no problem. read more

These guys were amazing! We had a ton of stuff, lets put it this way I have been in my previous apartment for three years so the crap has piled up. We asked them if they thought that they could do it in the 3 hours it was estimated with three guys, they said they would absolutely do their best. They were running, i don't mean being quick, but literally RUNNING with our boxes to get the job done in time. It ended up taking just under 4 hours which was pretty impressive. They didn't take a break once. I won't use anyone else if we move again, and i certainly will recommend them to everyone! When moving all of our stuff in to the new place they even set up our beds and put the furniture where it needed to go. It cost 382 total split between two of us. Their rates were 85/hr. 3 hour minimum plus a $42 travel fee for them to get from and back to their office. I would pay that again in a heartbeat. Ask for Ramon, Manuel and Alex! read more

I made a lot of mistakes preparing for this move. First, I underestimated how much stuff accumulates for a family of six over a four year period. I also forgot how much stuff our parents had been bringing out on each of their visits. Second, I suffered from "Mover's Mirage" - even though I had been packing for three weeks, it wasn't until I started moving stuff out to the front of the house that I realized just how much stuff I had - unpacked. Last, I waited until the last minute to book movers. I know, I know, but cut me some slack. Have you ever moved with four kids, two of whom are infants? (I'll be playing that baby card as often as I can) Factoring all of these issues, I was panicking the night before the move. There was no way all the stuff was going to get moved! There was no way it would happen within budget! There was no way the truck I got was big enough. No way this was going to go smoothly! Jaime and his crew showed up right on time and while things did NOT go within budget, and they did NOT get all of our belongings onto the truck, the crew could not have been more professional, efficient, and accomodating. They were not as careful as I would have liked. I would use Wolley Movers again, but I would definitely make sure that I did a better job packing and I would make sure to shrinkwrap and protect my belongings before the big day. read more

Whooo boy, I'm moving in a week and just got my new address? Who the heck will be available on such short notice? I tried calling about 15 different companies, nearly all not able to accommodate my ridiculously short notice, but Wolley said they had one last slot at the perfect time. I had originally scheduled Midway but after finding their reviews (which didn't come up immediately when I searched movers on Yelp), I got terrified and cancelled them. I'm glad I went with Wolley. Reasonable rates, the 3 guys were friendly, and they showed up exactly on time. They did take longer than I expected and anticipated but ya know, so be it. Though I won't be unpacking the majority of our stuff into this temporary shoe box we're living in, it appears nothing got broken. We got the guys some beverages and my hubs also bought them some lunch to help keep them going, though they may have been pissed later as it was White Castle. I thought my upright freezer got busted so I sent them a non-angry email after a week of trying to figure out what was wrong and they offered to come take a look which is a good thing. I ended up figuring it out - turns out it's the house wiring that is the problem, so all is good, well, minus the weird wiring. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend them. Moving sucks so spare your friends and hire Wolley. read more

I have used Wolley Movers 3 times over the past few years and they just keep getting better. Thanks to Robert and his amazing crew for doing such a great job as always. I was moving out of a 1 bedroom apartment, picking up items in my storage unit along the way and then moving into a new condo. At the very end I decided that my queen size bed was too big for the guest room and I asked Robert if they could take a few items back to storage and he kindly said no problem, just the hourly rate will apply. It added an additional hour to my original quote, however it was completely my fault and they were willing to accommodate my needs. I still have more items in my storage unit and once those are ready to moved out I will definitely be calling them again! I can't thank them enough for such a great experience. read more

The unfortunate thing about making this review is the last experience I had with them was much better. Both times they reeked of weed but this time one of the guys couldn't even contain himself, his eyes were so bloodshot and he was laughing nonstop. To each their own but pretty unprofessional i would say. They are hard workers and they were efficient for us. The price ended up being much higher than we were quoted. They broke 2 of our items, one being a tv. They did not mention that they broke the tv. I was wondering what the substance all over the screen I couldn't get off was. Turns out they broke off the tv leg and super glued it back on without telling me (see picture) and then got glue all over the screen which will not come off. Guess I should just be glad they gave me 50 bucks for it instead of the 30 cents per pound listed in the contract. Really strange to not just tell me you broke it but whatever. Will not be using them again. read more
