Least scammy moving company for local move

[Anonymous]

I’ve had good experiences with JK moving. Initial quote was huge), but they came down when I mentioned we had a lower quote from a smaller company. Went with JK because the insurance coverage and terms were much better.

Meant to say initial quote was high.

Avoid Express Movers. Ripoff.

JK moving

Oh the other thing I recommend for a local move is Lend a Box, you can rent plastic crates like they have for an office move. They drop them off and pick them up two weeks later.

JK has done several moves for us, including packing, and they have been great.

Bookstore movers

I had mixed experience with Bookstore, they always get hyped on this board so I'm suspicious of the recs. Of course, I may have just been unlucky. As prior poster said: use something like checkbook for more accurate reviews.

Do NOT hire 'Two Marines and a Truck'!

I’ve had excellent experiences with Moyer and Sons. My last move (2 months ago) was local. They said for local moves they charge hourly and said it would be about 2200. When they arrived I had them move a few more things that weren’t in the original estimate. The workers were so fast and hardworking that they finished hours early and it only cost me 1600, even with the extra items.

I had a good experience with Helix movers - they shipped and stored our stuff with zero missing or broken items.

We’ve moved twice with Town & Country Movers and had no issues.

On the other hand, I filled out an online estimate form with 495 Movers and they would not stop calling me.

Prince Movers run by Jon Prince.

I would hire them again. They can do small or large jobs, which worked great for clearing out an older person's home.

I also haven't had the best experiences, nor have a few others that I know; I think they have alerts for themselves on here and Reddit. They looooooove to yap and increase their charges based on that (bc the clock keeps running while they're being "so friendly" and chatting with you). Scheduling with them is also a pain bc they're "soooo busy" whenever I've called; I'd always have to work around them by a matter of weeks if I wanted to move, when other companies were able to get you in based on your schedule.

Have also only heard horror stories about 2 Marines.
