The crew arrived on time and looked very professional. Doug was the crew lead and made sure everythig was done corretly. We had moved the majority of boxes ourselved but had a lot of furniture. No damage, no scratches and they were done loading driving and unloading in the 3 hour time frame agreed to even though I thought it would take 4. Great job and I would highly recommend the company and especially the crew to anyone. I tipped each guy (3) $50.00 after the job and they were very pleased.
Description of Work: I had a four bedroom house moved to a three bedroom house

The office person did not give me all the information....luckily I remembered it was cash or cashiers check only and verified with them before the move. They did show up on time and got to work. The first move from house to condo was about 2 hours. The move from condo to house was over 3 hours and I was charged. The condo was a temporary place and I never fully unpacked. My son and I moved 90 percent of all the boxes, clothing and kitchen items. The movers only did a few boxes and the large items...mostly in the garage. This move took twice as long to do, and there was less to move and a shorter travel time. They also broke the shades on my granddaughters lamp and did not put it on their report until I requested it. I requested they put my bed together and they refused. They said they did not take it down....but they did on the first move and I just stored it in the condo garage. Overall I felt they were not as careful with the furniture or items as they could be. I would not use them again.
Description of Work: This is the second time I have used Discount Movers. The first move was from a house to a condo and then from the condo to a house. The first move (house to condo) was great, they were quick and completed the move in under 3 hours. The move from the condo to house was not so great.

Response from Discount Movers
I first would like to say I am sorry you were not fully satisfied with your move. Regarding the longer time spent on your move the second time we moved you. Different locations have different challenges (i.e. stairs, long walks, etc...). So the length of time can vary greatly for the same items being moved based upon the logistics of each location.

I booked this company three weeks in advance, talked to Paul the manager several times to verify this move. Told him I wanted them to pack and move, but I had done most of the packing. June 1st comes around they show up about 15min late. They walk in the apartment look around for about 10 min and said we will be right back we have to get supplies. 1/2 hour goes by, i call their cell phone no answer i call the office no answer, i do this every 1/2 hour. At 12:30pm i finally get the office the manager Paul. Paul said the mover's told me they couldn't move my apartment because it was to messy. FIRST it wasn't messy i packed most of the boxes and their were packed boxes everywhere SECOND, they didn't tell me they couldn't move me they said they had to get supplies and would be right back, THIRD, Paul said well sorry I can't make them work. I had to be out the first, I had this scheduled for three weeks and confirmed the night before that this was going to happen. I tried several companies to get me moved that day but by then it was already 1pm. I looked on Angie's List and found Acme Mover's, they were able to fit me in the next day at 8am but could only devote three hours because they had a job at 11am. Well they did it, they packed the rest of my studio and moved me, unpacked me and all before 11am. So if you need a mover I suggest you goto Acme Mover's they are also on Angie's List.
Description of Work: None were performed they showed up late and never came back.

I have no record of this move to respond to. I am not sure how we charged more than the estimated price being you stated we did not move you.

In all, a pleasant experience. Will certainly use their service again.
Description of Work: 2-bedroom apartment move. Most of the fragile items were moved by self including the complete kitchen/dining. We let Discount Movers take care of heavier/larger items (couch, 2x queen beds and mattresses, bookshelf), crib, books, wardrobe. The initial estimate was for a 4-hr minimum move of about $370 - 2 men + truck (excluding tips). It was a rainy day, and I was anticipating it to cost a bit more. In actual, we had 3 men + truck showed-up half-hour before my scheduled time. The professional/quick/no-nonsense crew that did a good job of moving out/in. They finished the job in a little over 3-hours. They took care of dismantling the beds and re-assembling them as well. Dismantling/re-assembling the crib was our responsibility.

My experience with Discount Movers was incredibly positive from the first phone call to the last box delivered into my new home. Friendly, professional, well priced, and an emphasis on EFFICIENT! I love these guys!
Description of Work: Discount Movers arrived at my home as scheduled, and were incredibly efficient, fast, friendly, and professional. All of my belongings arrived at my new home in great shape and the movers unloaded the truck so carefully and quickly ... it was AMAZING.

IT sucked. The movers were arrogant.
Description of Work: The movers were rude. I paid for four hours, but they spent only about an hour and a half. They were not willing to move anything inside the unit once they moved it in. I was moving out, another roommate was moving in and used Affordable Movers. They were much more helpful, and willing to work for the full 4 hours helping us arrange things. The Discount movers were only speaking to each other, and actually rather distainful of any extra effort. The men were apparently too cool for my rooms. I had to confront them about helping to unload my car, even though they had not even worked a full 2 hours, and I paid for 4. They actually dragged a featherbed. I had to walk behind them and pick it up"!" I don't know how they got the stars with Angies List. It must have been a plant. I will never use them again.

This review seems more like an advertisement for another moving co. If this is a real review, please call the office so we can discuss this further.

The arrived on time and got to work immediately. They filled a 16-foot van and the entire evolution took 4 1/2 hours. They only took one 10-15 minute break. They were fast (sometimes a little too fast), and got the truck loaded in about 2 hours. They followed us to the new house and off-loaded everything. One of the movers left his tools behind. He came by to pick it up later and offered to help me unload my car before taking back his tools. So far as we can tell, most everything is undamaged.
Description of Work: Picked up pre-packed boxes, disassembled furniture, moved appliances.

The movers, Yuri and Eric, were friendly and efficient. They seemed to know what they were doing, didn't waste a lot of time and did a good job overall. An Ikea dresser was slightly damaged (some wood cracked) even though they wrapped it in shrink wrap. We didn't notice this until after they'd left, but the insurance is like 60 cents a pound so it isn't worth calling to try to file a claim over. I don't think anything else was damaged or lost. They inflated the drive time -- it took less than 20 minutes and they said it took a half hour, and because drive time is doubled that made a difference -- and also told us it was customary to tip 20-30 percent, so it ended up costing more than expected. Otherwise, we were happy with the job.
Description of Work: They moved our stuff from a two-bedroom apartment to a three-bedroom house. It was a cross-town move, about 7 miles.

Description of Work: They moved us 45 miles from a 3000 square foot home, so there were a lot of boxes and heavy furniture that they moved.
