Optima Moving Company

Optima Moving moved out small 5 x 11 storage unit in Gaithersburg to our home in Rockville. There were a few very large antique electronics and a considerable number of heavy boxes. All items were being moved to the downstairs using a set of French Doors in the back of our steep property.

We set up the appointment with Marius quickly via email - hassle free and professional. He quoted us the minimum time of 3 hours, plus 1 hour travel time ($120/hr) for 4 men, which was what we needed given the weight of some of our items and the time we wanted to devote to the job.

The four professional movers were courteous and careful. The movers arrived early, but waited until the agreed upon start time. They took care to tape hanging electrical plugs and put down a mat onto our new off-white basement carpet (not our first choice of color!). In total the move took under 2 hours and we had plenty of time to start unpacking. The price was reasonable given the number and size of items. The movers were polite and efficient.

We were very happy with the care they used and their efficient move. We would definitely use them again!

We have moved a lot and used many big-name moving companies, but never the same one twice. That changes with Optima. The service and professionalism were exceptional. They came on time and informed regarding move details and went straight to work. We had four stops to take furniture from storage, then from our home, and then two drop off points. Everything was done so efficiently including coordinating loading to facilitate efficient unloading at each stop. Optima's website states that they take the stress out of moving, and they absolutely lived up to that promise. When the move was finished, we thought, wow, that was fantastic! Took great care with our furniture and pulled off the move without a single glitch even though there were a few obstacles, such as competing with commuters for the elevator because the freight elevator was the only one in service. They worked everything out themselves. We have other things in storage for a separate move and will look no further than Optima because stress free works for us.

I Weill definitely be calling them for my return. .

The bad reviews about this company are true, and I wish I would have checked before I used them, they charged me double of what they quoted. In particular the guy who was unprofessional did not speak English, he was very sloppy, I.e. he left screws for my bed on the floor after taking it apart, after using tape he just left the empty tape tube on the floor. and he broke a picture and said it was already broken, I put my stuff in storage so I most likely will be back to give an update. HOWEVER BE WISE AND BELIEVE THE REVIEWS HERE THEY ARE TRUE! STAY AWAY DO NOT USE THEM.
