Student Services Moving and Storage Company was started in 1973 by college students working while they attended the University of Virginia. Their idea of a business supplying general labor while enabling college students to earn money for their tuition has evolved into the company as we know it today; a full service household goods mover offering nationwide service. Student Services Moving and Storage Company movers are bright and hard-working. Many of the college students who apply to us are working their way through school, so their jobs are important to them. Our moving crews are fully trained. They average hundreds of hours of moving experience and earn bonuses based on their safety record, care for your belongings, and evaluations completed by each customer. They understand the importance of your home and furnishings.
the two young men were fast, polite, and did the job well.

We had a great experience with Student Services Moving from start to finish. The only negative was their original estimate of the time involved was way off (5-7 hours compared to an actual 11 hours) due to having to make two trips; however, when my wife called to discuss the situation and how it could have been avoided by using a larger truck, they immediately discounted all of the driving time and brought the total back down to close to the original estimate. The three guys who performed the move could not have been more respectful and helpful. We've used professional movers previously, and it was nice to have strong, young men doing the work and not having to feel guilty because the movers are older and in worse shape than you!

Before the move their people, during phone and in-person contacts, were friendly, courteous, responsive and helpful. During the move the guys were punctual, courteous and efficient; very careful while prepping, handling, loading and unloading; helpful in placing things during delivery. It all helped greatly reduce the stress of Moving Day. I would highly recommend them to others, and would definitely use them again.

Two young, friendly gentlemen came to our apartment on the day agreed, arriving five minutes early. Both gave their names and shook hands. I showed them what was to be moved (all our worldly goods) and they spent a few minutes planning their sequence of removal and loading into the truck. All went as planned, and the first apartment was emptied out in two hours. A third member was added to the crew for the second half, as the apartment is on a high third floor, and we had several heavy pieces. The third member was also professional and cordial. We suggested for the heaviest piece that they use the moving straps they had in the truck with them. However, they said the straps weren't necessary - too inconvenient - took too much time - "we've done this a hundred times without using them". When they were heading up the last flight of stairs, one mover was holding the entire weight of the armoire by one leg. The leg snapped off, shattering the molding and veneer covering it, and rendering it completely useless as a piece of furniture. They brought it into our new apartment and were going to leave it on its side in the MIDDLE of the living room. One guy said that he felt it was better left here where they could remove it from the apartment easily. I told them to put it where it belonged - getting it back out wasn't my problem. They complied reluctantly, and put it in place, upright. Now, 48 hours later, I am still waiting for a reply from the company as to what they intend to do. I have to say, though, that other than this incident (which will cost more than twice the price of the move to repair or replace), the folks were all hard workers, professional, and polite. The estimate given before the job was stated as an estimate only - and I anticipated paying whatever the job cost to complete. The estimate was around $620, using 4.75 hours with two men. The final was around 5 hours using three men for the second half, and totaled $767. Will I use them again? Yes - but with rules set out beforehand that they will USE THE MOVING STRAPS PROVIDED for the bigger pieces. Also, I would have preferred seeing them use back supports and gloves - and not having them scheduled for a second moving job immediately following mine. It's just a shame that the men couldn't spare a few minutes of their time to use the straps instead of trying to save a minute or two - and in the process ruining a $1500 piece of furniture.
Description of Work: Student Services provided personnel, a truck, and moving supplies to relocate our furnishings from a second-floor apartment to a third-floor apartment in Charlottesville.

Extremely fast, direct moving service. Rather than hold our belongings hostage for 7-10 days, Student Services was willing to do a 300 mile move in one day. I particularly liked how the same crew who packed everything also did the loading and unloading. While we weren't moving any particularly delicate furniture, we haven't noticed any damage to our items. The free quote we received even matched the final cost of the move. Overall the service was prompt, courteous, and effective.
Description of Work: Packed and moved 3 bedrooms worth of furniture from two separate locations over 300 miles.

It was an excellent experience. They surpassed our expectations in their professionalism and hustle. We would recommend them to anybody. The experience on the day of the move was fantastic. They went above and beyond from killing spiders in my new house to moving things into the proper rooms. We couldn't be more pleased. We would absolutely use them again.

The movers were polite, thorough and careful. Absolutely nothing was damaged. Very professional, courteous and well-mannered. If there is a downside to Student Services, it is the price. It cost me $500 for 4 hours of work and I only have a 1 bedroom apartment. I think that's a bit much since it cost me $1100.00 to move over a thousand miles. Local moves with Student Services are pricey, but at least they were good movers.
Description of Work: I hired Student Service moving on short notice (1 week) and they came through for me. The company sent two movers to help me move my 1 bedroom apartment.

The move went very well. It was completed in a single day which meant we did not have to arrange a night's lodging for the transfer. All item were brought to the 2nd-floor aprtment via the stairs. Packing was especially good. There was only on item broken -- one leg on a dresser. (This was repaired at the mover's expense to our complete satisfaction.) The young men doing the job were neat, polite, and professioal.
Description of Work: One day local move from one-story 3 br house to 2nd-floor 2 br apartment. Move was approximately 6 miles and was completed in 9 hours (including lunch). Company provided three workers and a truck and handled all aspects of wrapping, packing, and moving items from house to apartment. Move included all furniture, clothing, and decorative items. We remained at the house during packing and loading and were at the apartment for delivery.

Students Services came on time to give the estimate. They were right on as to how much time it would take to take apart dresser mirror, and beds, and do the move of all items to the storage unit. The two movers that came to do the job arrived on time. Without blinking an eye, they changed their loading route to accommodate the wishes of the independent-living facility's manager. This route was much more difficult, requiring them to load into an elevator, but they made the switch with smiles. They were friendly and careful with each piece that they moved. While packing the storage unit, they were most helpful in arranging things so that I could get to things that I would need. Every phase of the process went smoothly, and I would definitely hire them again. They were great!!
Description of Work: Student Services gave an estimate for the job, moved all the furniture, and was able to direct me to the correct size storage unit to rent that would fit all the furniture and boxes.

Service was excellent. The packing was carefully completed, and nothing was broken in transit or during delivery. The team leader was oversaw the packing, drove the truck, and managed the delivery -- we found it advantageous to have the same person in charge of all phases of the move. The team members were all very courteous and very responsive. This was a relatively painless move!
