Long-distance move from Charlottesville, VA to Florence, KY

Buyer BEWARE!

The personality of the movers were the only bright spot of the entire experience.

1. The packing aspect is terrible. They'll put anything in close proximity in your home together in a box with minimal packing paper and wrap it up. Glass, frames, light bulbs, food, it didn't matter. If it was close, they "packed" it. Luckily, I packed the majority of my own boxes.

2. I was told by "Charles" (I think that's his name) that my vehicle would be shipped. I was also told by one of the movers that, "the truck to pick up your vehicle will be here between 2 and 3pm. They never showed. Finally, when the "packing" was over they said "Yeah, we're going to drive your vehicle to our storage facility in Maryland to be loaded on the truck for shipping". That was a lie.

The whole purpose of me having it shipped was to AVOID putting 100's of miles on it and what did they do? They drove it from Charlottesville, VA to Rockville, MD and then from Rockville, MD to Florence, KY where I relocated. When asked WHY!!?? It was said "Oh, well, the transport company didn't show up and we had to drive it". This is AFTER the movers showed up to the new address! I also asked for a refund because the service wasn't performed as in the contract, it was said "Well, if you look at it, we saved you from having to wait an extra month to get it shipped".

I'm sorry but, it's a scam because I don't think they planned to ship it in the first place. They came prepared to drive it from start to finish now that I replay everything in my mind. The plates were expired and there is no insurance on the vehicle so, if there was an accident or it broke down, I would've been responsible for any deaths and/or damages. I was told "We have umbrella insurance so we're good". My fiancé is in insurance and says that that's not how umbrella insurance works. I could've been on the hook for thousands of dollars in damages because of their scam. There was no communication until AFTER the vehicle pulled up to inform me it would've been driven or to ask if they could drive it. They also left the gas tank nearly empty upon arrival today!

3. I have 8 packing blankets because they never unwrapped and put together the items that they took apart.

4. There was an attempt to put the bed frame together but, on my inspection after they left, I saw that it was worse than what a 2-year old would've done. I had to pull everything out and redo it myself. This was part of their service that wasn't completed per their contract.

5. The place was left a mess after they left. Boxes scattered everywhere, tape thrown and left on the floor, trash left outside the door.

6. I asked for an agreement to review and never got it. This leads me to believe that they are really into scamming and scheming people who put their trust, time and money in them to actually do what they're paid to do.

I will be requesting my $500 back for the shipping of my vehicle that never happened. I have 2 tires that are flat from the driving their movers/drivers performed without my permission. If my money is not returned I will be filing a lawsuit. My best friend is an attorney and said he will GLADLY accept the case if a refund is not processed immediately.

A total scam of a company and I wouldn't trust them to move me across the street! Never again will you get my business or anyone that I know or who will read this! You should be ashamed of yourselves and your practices.

Long-distance move from Maryland to Washington DC

Excellent full service.

This was my second moving and it was too much better than I expect. The first time it was terrible I paid a lot more than the other company quoted by charging really crazy prices in moving supplies. This time I asked to the seller in Bugget how much do they charge for the same and he offered me a great deal wich included all the supplies that my moving needed and the services. I didn't pay more than he estimated to my moving and also the service and the guys were really professional. I really recommend them to perform any moving.

Long-distance move from Maryland to California

Very professional and courteous.

From the beginning John was very professional sales person from start to finish. He answered all of my questions and concerns with packing, moving costs, and times of pick-up.So far , it was the best experience I had ever had with a moving company. The moving crew were very professional and courteous . Wrapped all of the furniture very carefully and placed on the truck without damaging or scratching a single item. Delivered in the same condition as when they picked it up. Would recommend them to anyone.

Long-distance move from Pennsylvania to Maryland

Great move experience.

We are extremely happy with choosing Budget Moving and Storage as our moving company! We moved from Philadelphia to Maryland and had to keep our belongings at a storage
place for a while. We got first month free storage. That was enough time for us to complete a house purchase and to get our furniture and personal items transferred to a final destination. We saved on storage! We have been informed what our options are and were advised on how to make our experience as smooth as possible. We have been offered a variety of packing options that fit our budget and save us time.The overall process was free of headache and each step of the move was clearly explained. Our estimate was close to origin price. The charges seem fair and well-explained so we know where every penny goes. The moving team showed on time, worked professionally, fast, and very careful. All the fragile items were moved with special care. I did like that they customized our move to our needs and were easy to work with! I would recommend this company to those who are looking for honest company, fair price, team professionalism, and smooth move.

Local move within Maryland

Good workers, but bait and switch prices.

I was quoted $75/hour for three movers and a truck, and promised that this covered "taking furniture apart, wrapping, and putting it back together." I should have known this was too good to be true. The movers arrived promptly and were very professional (Jose and Mario especially, the other bearded guy who's name I didn't get seemed a bit unmotivated and at one point I looked out the window to see him roaming the woods behind the house). However, as soon as they started the walk-through I was informed that the cost I was quoted did NOT include wrapping anything glass, wrapping mattresses AND box springs ("required by the insurance company"), or TAPE? $120 for TAPE? Seriously?? I ended up moving a bunch of glass stuff myself to save $28 each (one of those mirrors wasn't even worth $28). Each bed ended up at least $44 to move because the mattress and the box spring are $22 each. One of my beds had two box springs so that cost extra. On top of this they charged me another 10% for "fuel." The worst part was that I talked to John, the owner, two days before the move and he assured me that it was only $75/hour. If I had the ability I would've told them to pound sand with their bait and switch, but I suspect this happens a lot. On the day of the move your price DOUBLES, you don't have much choice but to pay. I will say that Jose was absolutely excellent and did a great job. Mario was also very good as well. The third guy was only so/so. They literally packed the truck so full that they had to put the mattresses on the lift gate of the truck, along with their ladder and dolly. Jose was very accommodating with my sensitivity to cost and they really hustled at the end to get everything done. All that being said I cannot recommend this company due to their bait and switch tactics. I still have a bunch of stuff to move because I couldn't afford to get it all moved with another trip of the truck, and a bunch of stuff was put in the wrong rooms due to the fact that they were trying to quickly unload the truck because of my sensitivity to cost. Had I not been blindsided with all of the extra fees I would have asked them to make another trip to move the rest. Other than the blatant bait and switch, their communication was very good, and two of the three guys really hustled to get it done. I would not recommend this company and look elsewhere. If you do use them, double whatever John tells you it will cost.

Local move from Villanova, PA to Haverford, PA

Rip off Moving Company.

Do not use this mover. I booked this mover and was scammed. The estimated move was to cost $693.00, They then hit you with their "materials" list for packing materials if needed, IF NEEDED. They then have you sign the materials form along with your other relevant documents and go gang busters utilizing all their packing materials at inflated costs without your consent. The move was projected to take six to eight hours and ended up being 18hrs. This was with the assistance of my bf and a contractor who I paid to assist said movers. Otherwise it would have been 24hrs as they were very incompetent. They broke furniture and hid it from me as well as lamps and accessories. The final bill was $4079!! The labor was doubled as well to $1300. The packing "materials" they used without consent totaled $1927!! They then hold your items hostage on the truck until you agree to pay the unauthorized expenses. This company is bad news.

success move on a short notice.

It was the best price he gave us. Really very thankful for everything Budget moving did for us.

We wish them good luck and great success .

Long-distance move from Springfield, VA to Fort Lee, NJ

Move from Virginia to New Jersey.

We moved last weekend and it was a breeze with Budget Moving.

From to start to finish, they were professional and the workers were diligent. I felt comfortable and confident in dealing with John and his crew.

We used the full packing service. Everything came in tact except for 1 glass. Nothing damaged or broken.

The packed and loaded my 3 bedroom town home and delivered the next day.

Highly recommend this company. Will use them again for sure.
