      Moved home across the street.

      I have moved about 12 times, this is by far the worst ever. They damaged 6 pieces of furniture, had about 20 marks on my brand new walls, broke 2 pictures and a metal storage rack. One guy was not mentally stable. The guys were having a party and not too interested in doing things right. The guy putting together the furniture was the only one working for the last 2 hours as the other 4 guys sat there and watched him. A disgrace! Sent in my packet for damage. I did not get insurance. Big mistake. Nor have I heard back from the company. Its been over a week. I just thank god i carried over all my expensive items from my family or they would have been destroyed. If you value your belongings do not use this company.

      Worst Movers in Pgh.

      In January 2020, Don Farr moved my parents from one apartment complex in Monroeville to another about four miles away. Farr was expensive. Its employees were careless; they damaged the cane backs of three mid-century Modern dining chairs (and claimed “they were like that when we got there.”) They also broke two mirrors and two glass tabletops as well as chipped wooden trim from three dressers. The best part, however, is the loss of two pieces of furniture stored in their warehouse. This time the employee claimed, “Oh, your dad didn’t want them and gave those pieces to our crew.” Yes, I paid $1300 for storage and delivery of those items to my home in NJ because my dad gifted them to the moving crew. And here it is, months later, and nothing is forthcoming - not a suitable explanation, not the furniture, not an apology, and not a refund to either my parents or me for any of the loss or damage.

      If you value your belongings, your money, and your sanity, you will not hire Don Farr Moving and Storage under any circumstances.

      Worst movers ever.

      They get a zero star. Movers didn’t show up on the day of the move. They gave excuses, lies. Didn’t bring boxes; lied about how many people they were sending. Trying to charge us 2200 for moving a 2 bedroom apartment when we were quoted 700, which we will NOT be paying. Turning them in to the BBB. They should not be allowed to be in business.

      Cost more than the quote because of their mistake and extensive damage

      I took out insurance from Don Farr, made a claim involving two damages bookcases, three damaged outdoor cast aluminum chairs, chipped picture frames, etc - all of which had been moved safely by other movers in four other moves. The company took months to process my claim and sent a check in exactly the amount of the premium - $500.

      Also, months AFTER the move, they charged my $300 more than the final bill because they had to rent a straight truck which they KNEW beforehand. Stay aware and away from Don Farr.

      Move from PA to FL.

      I will start by saying this was our third move with Don Farr and the first two moves were great with minimal problems. Because of that we trusted that things would be the same on this move so did not buy the extended insurance. The move was horrendous, no other words to describe it. They brought a truck that was too small. The move took hours longer than estimated, and another truck had to be brought the next day to finish up. Four movers on a Saturday and one fellow was so surly and unpleasant with complaining the whole time that he wasn’t supposed to work on a Saturday. He would not use the television boxes we supplied, but rather wrapped the three TVs in blankets. Two flat screen televisions disappeared and never made it to our new home and the third was delivered with a cracked screen, rendering it useless. I additionally lost a box of kitchen items. Many boxes were delivered crushed, upside down. Beds weren’t put together, just a fiasco. I will say that the two men who delivered our items worked very hard. Things come in so fast that you are virtually unable to cross off every item on the inventory list and have to sign it before they leave. We discovered the televisions…

      Don Farr moving HORRIBLE.

      I used Don Farr moving to move from Pittsburgh, PA to State College, PA. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Be prepared for very expensive pricing, profanity from the moving crew directed at me the customer, smashed items, scratched floors, the "crew manager" Ty ruined and broke a window frame, he also told me " I don't know what I am talking about" when I told him how to move a large leather sofa, hence the broke window frame. The estimator gave me a repair bill of over $1200 and Don Farr will only cover $180 of damages. Sara in the claims department is one the rudest people I have ever met. Stay away from Don Farr Moving Company!

      Don't do it. They sell you insurance and they pay for zero damage. This company practices insurance fraud. Collected $464 zero deductible insurance from me and had damaged furniture and they don't pay. Everyone is soooo nice it's just an act so you don't bother them. They lie. Their crew is horrible.

      Terrible experience with this mover. Every review on here is correct. After our stuff was loaded we were told we were over our weight and they charged us another $400. They didn’t pack things carefully and damaged my furniture! Look at the way it was put in the truck!! They don’t send enough guys or trucks to do a job properly, they are dishonest and underhanded.

Long-distance move from Charleroi, PA to Leesburg, FL

DO NOT use this company.

The movers arrived and began using our bathroom..all the men did their morning duty within a short time after arriving.
My husband had a large amount of change in a container on his workbench..after the movers were in the basement for a short time, he noticed that almost all the change was gone. He went to the guy who seemed to be in charge and told him that he didn't care who took it, but they better put it back. A few minutes later one of the guys brought some (not all) of the change to my husband in a plastic bag and said he put it in the truck for "safe keeping."
On top of all that my beautiful and expensive furniture was ruined..scrapes and scratches in the wood, leather on the recliner was rubbed off on the corners, pieces of antique furniture lost, and several things broken. We still have many boxes in storage and who knows what condition those things may be in.
Plus, after ordering pizzas and sodas for everyone.. the guy in charge told me that I should tip all the men because they don't make much!!
This company is absolutely horrible..a group of dishonest individuals who just don't care. Be smart and find another company if you value your furnishings.

Horrible Experience.

The guys are not trained on safely packing your precious belongings on the truck so every piece of furniture that I had taken care of for 30 years in perfect condition has been ALL DAMAGED in just one day..I am devastated..and they rush you to write a review as soon as you go in the door before you have a chance to look around and see the damaged..I am just so sad as I sit in my new place and look around at all the damage of furniture and walls..please use another company and save your self some heartache..

This was our first experience using movers. Was very nervous but Stan, Cobey, Jim and Charles were an awesome team. Couldn’t ask for a more professional pleasant group of guys working in 90 degree weather. They worked as a team and with caution to avoid hitting walls and not 1 mark. Would request this group again. Great experience.
