AQMS was the movers we settled on after getting three other quotes. They came in with a good price and a great reputation. The crew protected flooring, wrapped furniture with blankets and plastic, and delivered everything without damage.
We scheduled our move with Ben and they were so responsive. They provided a full list of fees and an accurate quote. Mike and Diego arrived on time, worked carefully, and Ben called a week later to follow up.

Nancy Corradini, Google
My laptop, printer and Kindle never made it to my new location. The packers did not finish packing, and the movers arrived at a different time than scheduled. I received no response after 24 hours.
Chantal Bovberg, Google
Many boxes were crushed and expensive wood furniture was damaged after our belongings were packed with three other households. We paid nearly $17,000 and had more than $3,500 in damage.
Melania Jackson, Google
We were not told our cross-country move would be contracted to another company. The receiving company delivered missing and damaged items, and making a claim was nearly impossible.

In May I had this company move me from my home to an apartment less than a mile away. They did a good job, but screws were missing from my new bed set. After I called, there was no follow-up.
Yelp
The representative was responsive and the movers worked fast and politely. Afterward, several items were missing or broken, and customer service did not clearly explain the reimbursement policy.
Yelp
The movers did a good job and none of our possessions broke, but administrators and movers had repeated miscommunication. We were charged more than the contracted amount, and getting a refund was difficult.
