Description of Work: They drove from Burien to Kirkland to move my son's apartment into storage in Kirkland. This group always does a careful and precise packing/moving of furniture and fragile items. The tough issue for this move was the 24 mile distance between Burien and Kirkland plus an hour time delay due to traffic. Consider those issues when booking on a 4 hour coupon.

Description of Work: This was a local move, paid by the hour. Having done many moves I had an idea of about how long this one should take. The estimate I got from Express Movers was for 1/2 hour longer, close enough to my estimate that I didn't have any issue with theirs. The movers showed up right on time. They wrapped and padded things, moved them, and finished up in less time than my estimate. Everything was put exactly where I wanted it.

My experience with Express Movers was good from start to finish. Toni in the office gave me a detailed explanation of the estimated charges and what to expect on the day of the move. She concisely explained state regulation of moving companies and how that is reflected in procedures and billing. She also warned me about low-ball estimates and the fact that charges, by regulation, must reflect the actual time involved regardless of the original estimate. On moving day, the crew called the warehouse to coordinate their arrival, then they called me to say they were departing for the warehouse. They called again when the materials had been loaded to let me know they were on the way to my house. When they arrived, they worked efficiently to complete the delivery as quickly as possible, finishing in about 2/3 of the time they estimated for the job. On the way back to their base, the crew made an extra stop to deliver the railing for refinishing. Last but not least, Toni retroactively revised the final billing when I told her that I am a senior so that I would receive the 10% senior discount. I would definitely hire Express Movers again. They are competent,fair, and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Express Movers moved hardwood flooring material from a warehouse where it was in storage to the second floor of my home where it will be installed. The total weight of material moved was about 1.5 tons. They also removed a 10 ft x 4.5 ft steel railing from the second floor of my home and delivered it to a company for surface refinishing.

The company responded promptly and were thorough about trying to understand the job we needed done, and offered to squeeze us in on a Friday between a couple other jobs. My partner was moving the contents of her office in one part of Seattle to a new office several miles away. The total job was estimated to take just 2-3 hrs, and once the movers arrived, they were professional and got the job done promptly. However, the movers were *more than 4 hours late* in showing up to move her stuff. Moreover, the company never offered to lower the final price based on their tardiness, which I felt was unreasonable. All in all, I don't think I will call them again.

Response from Express Movers Inc
I'm very surprised that even after noting what a great job our movers did and mentioning that we went out of our way to accommodate her, this woman actually complained about the arrival time! We added this move after another to accomodate this client's very last minute request. We advised her that the arrival time was tentative, being entirely dependent upon completion of the first job; that the crew would call her to let her know when they were on the way-which they did. The movers arrived around 5:30 and finished at 8:30, making a 12 1/2 hour work day for them. The client was told in advance, in writing, what the cost would be. There was no reason to offer a discount when we'd gone out of our way to accommodate this client and did a great job for her, nor was there any reason to give us a "D" for the price which she'd agreed to in advance. (It should be noted that most moving companies would not even consider doing such a tiny move, much less squeezing it in at the last minute.)

I had a very expensive bed, which I advised and provided information to them how to store and transport it. They damaged the bed to the point that it had to be replaced. They also broke an antique glass light fixture, the glass out of an antique hutch, and a desk. A leather chair was spotted, torn and faded from being left in the sun. The clothes that they took were thrown into a corner, so were filthy and stunk when I got them back. All of the hanging clothing containers were broken. They promised that they would keep things safe and clean, but they were covered with dust, filth, and grime. I had an expensive piece of exercise equipment that was ruined because a part was lost. They also got spots all over my brand new white carpet and gouged the brand new walls. When trying to contact the provider about my damaged possessions, they were very shrill. They said that they would send me forms, which I never received. They never advised me of the different levels of insurance. The most amazing thing was that they had absolutely no interest in trying to rectify their error, regardless of the time frame. They like to pride themselves as being such great movers, while they did this to my house and things. I feel that they prayed on me when my life was upside-down; they just took advantage of it in every way that they could. I would avoid them like the plague. Do not use this company.
Description of Work: My home was flooded in 2006. Express Movers moved all of my belongings out and then moved them into storage. They prohibited me from going to look at my things in their "private storage" facility.

Response from Express Movers Inc
Our records show this was the second move we did for this lady. Each time she signed for receipt of a consumer guide book. Each time she also signed for her choice of "valuation" - the coverage is clearly described in both the consumer guide and on the contract. On the move in question she inspected her things as they were delivered. She signed off three times: on the contract, and on each of two inventory forms, confirming that everything was delivered in good condition, noting the only exceptions were a small pane of broken glass and a missing peice from an exercise machine. (A claim form was promptly sent for these items.) This customer then filled out a quality survey answering "yes" to 10 questions such as "Did the crew do a good job", "Would you recommend this company to others.". She added a handwitten note: " So kind, decent and professional, thank you!" and signed the quality survey. She tipped the crew $250 in cash. We keep meticulous records: Copies of these documents have been forwarded to Angie's List, are available to be sent for review on request! A short time later the client called, said she was having financial problems and asked for a partial refund because she "couldn't afford the move". This request was declined. On November 17, 2008, two weeks after her move, she confirmed receipt of the claim form, calling to ask questions about filling it out. At this time she said there was a "dent" in her mattress from pressing against a box in storage. She was advised to take a photo and include it in her claim. Each claim form notes that a claim may be filed up to nine months after a move. Though she called several times after her move, this woman never filed a claim. As to the other "damage" that she seems to remember only now , two full years after her move: This woman's goods were wrapped in stretch wrap and moving blankets, or neatly packed in boxes, all of which were placed in sealed wooden storage vaults, behind a locked security gate, inside a locked warehouse. It is simply not possible for her things to have become "filthy" or "faded from being left in the sun". Her clothing was hung in brand new, cardboard wardrobe boxes, sealed and stored in vaults. The worst that could have happened is something slipping off a hanger to the bottom of the box, but she checked them on delivery and signed for reciept in good condition. Notes in the job file indicate she had covered her carpet entirely with cardboard (not necessary since we always provide runners and carpet mask) which she then insisted the movers pick up and dispose of (at no charge). Her bed was not damaged at all, much less to the point of requiring a replacement. Because we are responsible for the condition of stored goods and it is a private storage warehouse, no one is allowed to rummage through things. We pull items for clients to pick up or have delivered, on request.

Overall, the team managed by Myron on site did an excellent job. They worked extremely hard and were very professional from the upfront proposal and throughout the moving process. They showed up on time and other than one damaged item (an office cubicle wall) they were extremely careful with our items. I have used other movers before and found them to be excellent to work with and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and use them again in the future.

Express Mover (Myron's team) did a good job overall. The excellent: 1) hardworking group. They only took a quick lunch break and only a few "breathers" in-between. 2) strong and fast. 3) relatively punctual Areas for improvement: 1) Estimation mistakes. Length of time needed for the move was longer than expected. Consequently, the cost was about $200 higher. Not such a big deal. However, the miscalculation on the truck-size required to move our belongings was a bit more nerve-wracking. The truck was slightly too small for the amount of belongings we had. However, to their credit, they made things "fit." The down-side was that a number of our furniture were dented and scratched. 2) Speed vs quality. The team rapidly moved our boxes and furniture. The compromise was a broken shelving system, dented walls, and scratched wall and floor.

I would like to thank this member for posting her comments here. Since it's been four months between her move and her post, we reviewed our records of this job and found: The estimate for the job was $1104 The actual price paid was $1129.90 So the difference was $25.90, (not $200) State regulations allow the cost to exceed the estimate by up to 25%, maximum allowable charge in this case would have been $1380. Though things do occasionally get damaged when moving an entire houseful of goods; She did not note any damages in the space provided for this purpose on her bill of lading, but she signed off that "all goods were received in good condition." I'm pleased to see that she was happy with her move overall, and hope she will remember us the next time she needs to move. Sincerely, Toni Powell President

Express Movers was absolutely professional from the start! The move was less than two weeks away when I called them, but the friendly staff secured an appointment for estimate right away and also the moving date that I preferred. During the time of the estimate, Myron was courteous and explained my rights and everything else in detail so to avoid any surprise later on. The conversation left me the impression that Myron was faithful and loyal to his employer yet at the same time, was considerate to the customers and had their best interests in mind. On moving date, Myron gave me a call to inform me of the team's departure and the estimated time of arrival. It was the Saturday of the week of record breaking scorching heat. Other than a couple of brief breaks, they worked non-stop. I had a lot of boxes, most of them books, and some heavy furnitures and appliances. They took extra care in wrapping and moving them. While working hard for 6 hours, the team-Myron, Keith, Daniel, and Jose-was respectable to their lead(Myron)and to one another. They made the job fun! I moved quite a lot and have never seen a team so professional, courteous, efficient, and made moving a fun and pleasant experience for everyone around. I have to say the moving day was the best highlight in this rather stressful move. I would highly recommend this team/moving company without reservation. In fact, if and when I move again, I would no doubt go to them for a fun and professional moving experience!

Thank you so much for this lovely review. You're so nice, we'd like to move you twice! Our movers do work hard and take great pride in what they do. They love to hear that they are appreciated. In fact, we hand out quality surveys at the end of each move and the crew is in a friendly competition to see who brings in the most effusively positive reviews each month. The surveys come back greater than 99% positive, which, in itself is quite an accomplishment. Sincerely, Toni Powell, President

On Moving day they arrived on-time and gave a complete written estimate, which I found out is the law in WA state-they must give an estimate. And informed us that they could not charge more than a certain percentage more than the estimate regardless of how long the move took. Myron, the lead guy, was an excellent communicator and let us know everything up front- including when they would take breaks. We were very happy that we decided to use them.

Each time, Express Movers has been incredibly professional, friendly, and helpful. We have a massively steep driveway that makes any move precarious, but the guys (each time) moved things in and out without a complaint, and without a stick of damage. When we asked them to move our storage items (furniture and boxes) into our onsite garage, they carefully wrapped all of the furniture items and packed the small space so efficiently that everything fit, with room to spare. They even managed to move an insanely heavy folding treadmill down a set of garden stairs to the lower level. We always felt our items were well-cared for, and we have recommended Express Movers several times to friends.
Description of Work: We have used Express Movers three times in the last two years--from the Eastside to Seattle, then out of our home and into an apartment prior to a major renovation, and then from the apartment back into our (almost) completed house. We also had the company move our belongings into our onsite garage for storage prior to the apartment move, in addition to moving a small set of items in and out of the downtown apartment.

They had attention to detail, carefully wrapped antiques and other delicate furniture items and were okay with my husband helping with the unpacking/unwrapping process. We had to book for a three hour minimum, with an estimate of the job taking five hours. It actually took eight, with my husband's help at the end. We had a lot of delicate stuff to move, not just boxes of books.

This was a great company to work with; from scheduling my move to placing my furniture in my new home. This was the first time I have used a moving company and they were very helpful explaining the process when I called. Then on the day of the move Matthew, Myron, and Bill were very nice even though I was nervous. They wrapped all my furniture very carefully and covered the new hardwood floors of my new home to protect them. Every thing went smoothly, nothing was broken, and the total bill was $50.00 less than the estimated price. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
