We hired Express Movers (after a great review from a friend) and I was truly amazed. My first contact was with Tony. After I submitted my request for a quote, she called me with...

If you have a straight forward move, Express Movers might be a good option. The guys are fast, friendly and accomodating. However, we moved off an island and one thing after the...

Great Movers 2/16/2009

Everything about this experience was wonderful. The friendly helpful customer service in setting up the move, the skilled, efficient (amazingly fast), careful, professional movers, all made this a worthwhile experience. I will never move myself or children again. I will always call Express Movers. Pros: Efficient, competent, careful, professional more

Professional, courteous, and kind to your stuff... 11/11/2008

I highly recommend Express Movers. They arrived on time, were courteous, professional and came in very close to the estimated price. Myron and Kenny were very careful with my possessions. Nothing was broken or scratched. They listened and followed through on all my requests. This company made my moving experience a lot easier. If you need some help with your move, you won't regret calling them. I'll be calling them again the next time I move. Pros: Professional, on time, conscientious more

Great guys...great company to deal with. 10/30/2008

The crew we got was great, they were on time and careful. Nice guys and real efficient. If I move again I'll ask for Chayn and Matt. Pros: Efficient. Nice guys. Cons: Can't think of any. more

Polite, hard working movers! 10/30/2008

Daniel and Shane worked hard the whole time. We appreciated the quick follow up on the small ding in our dresser which was addressed quickly. Overall, a very good experience and I'd use this company again. Pros: On time! Hard working. Good value. more

Would definitely recommend them. 10/30/2008

These guys wrapped everything well and showed real pride in their work. Even after schlepping heavy stuff up lots of stairs all three of them finished with a smile. The little box of necessities made the first night easier - no digging for toothpaste. Other businesses should be so thoughtful. Pros: Fast, efficient and friendly more

WORST MOVING COMPANY IN SEATTLE 10/14/2008

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I had a terrible moving experience with this company. They damaged every single piece of furniture that they moved for me. The company is not concerned with their reputation or customer service. They were completely unreasonable when it came to getting repairs completed. Do not be fooled by other reviews, I feel victim to their ?great? reviews as well! Now I have over $3,000 worth of furniture that is extremely damaged thanks to Express Movers Inc. Cons: Damage done to every piece of furniture they moved more

great experience moving! 8/19/2008

Myron and all of his crew were just excellent! I appreciate how careful and fast and courteous they were.\r Thanks! I will use Express again and reccomend them to everyone. Pros: professional, concerned and very efficient more

NO CALL, NO SHOW, NO JOB..... 7/28/2008

I am not one to get on here and bash people, for the sake of feeling better, but I do feel the need to pass along my experience with ths company. I am using a moving company for the first time, I have been a lttle apprehensive about the whole thing but saw good things on here about this company. I called and spoke to a gentlemen he promised that they would have someone at my house at a certain time in two days. I gave my number and address and came home to make sure I was there. I called three times got no response and have now been waiting for over an hour with no call. I will have to say that in most business that isn't a very good way of making a first impression. Cons: not responsible, and timely... more

Movers who MOVED their tails 7/8/2008

We used Express Movers on June 30, 2008, on a very hot day, and yet, in spite of the heat, they worked their tails off, literally running back and forth. We were done as quickly as humanly possible! Plus, the crew was polite and fun to work with. We had boxes packed ahead of time, and they came in, the lead (Chao, a great guy) looked over things for about one whole minute, talked with us a bit, and then bam! off they went, with blankets and tape and a LOT of brute strength. We were very appreciative. more

Excellent local moving company! 6/28/2008

We were looking for a local moving company for a challenging, short notice move. 5 bedroom house, we'd been there 20+ years. I have used commercial movers in the past and the results have been mixed. These folks were great. Very good estimate, and the actuall price ended up lower, because the movers were more efficient than expected. Should be noted that the moving staff were all company employees, not temps. During this 2 day move the movers were friendly and quick, even when we threw them a few last minute curves. The estimater had planned well. Moving foreman was excellent! As a logistics proffesional myself with some 30 years experience, I would strongly reccomend this company to anyone. Moving ones home is a very personal experience. These folks exceeded expectations, met all commitments, and were a pleasure to work with. more

Disorganized Late Dishonest 6/13/2008

Horrific moving experience. They showed up 2 hours late with a truch that was too small! They spent hours trying to figure how to get everything in ths truck. It didnt all fit so that actually asked us to move some of our own things. Unbelievable. Of course we had to pay them to get our things off the truck.\r The office was unwilling to make it right. We also had some broken dishes. We filed a WDSOT to have violated several rules, including not providing a bill of lading and incorrectly billing a move under 35 miles. These people should be ashamed of themselves for making libelous accusations and claims. I never gave them positive feedback. The piece of paper they showed Citysearch was falsified Pros: Cheap Price Cons: Disorganized, Low Ballers, Careless more

Best Movers in town! 4/17/2008

My husband and I moved to Fife from Des Moines recently and I did some reserach into moving companies. I had a bad experience last time, and wanted to make sure I hire BETTER movers this time. When Choe and his crew arrived we were less than ready. Woops! I was a little stressed about it, but they were so kind and nice saying things like ""this is normal, it's not that bad, moving is the most stressful thing next to a death in the family"". This just put me at ease. The estimate came to 8 hours and after it was done it was 7.5 hours. It's obvious they have experience! :) They were litterally running at times, they were SO fast! My husband and I speculated that if we had our friends help us, we would have been there until 3am. My husband was VERY skeptical about hiring movers, because he had never done that before. He'd always have friends and family help, but our experience with Express Movers was eye-opening for him and he was VERY impressed with the efficiency of the crew. They were all very very friendly and hard-working! I have already recomended Express Movers to a hundred of my friends since we moved. It's funny, when I read all of the positive reviews here on city search, I was convinced that someone from the company had written them. But I can tell you, I'm a REAL person and these guys are fantastic! A+++ more

Great customer service 2/27/2008

I have not yet moved, but so far my experience with Express Movers has been great. I have been price shopping and Myron came to my house and gave me an estimate. He arrived early and was extremely courteous, professional, and thorough. He came prepared with a packet of moving information. When I asked for various estimates, depending upon how much I left for the movers to pack, he was very helpful and patient. I was so impressed by how much he knew that I called the next day to reserve Express Movers for my move. This company obviously takes a lot of pride in their work. more

Careful movers but very slow 1/30/2008

Movers were on time & were very careful in handling in handling all the items. But, they were extremely slow & inefficient. If you plan on using these movers, get a written estimate before the move. These movers are good if you have a lot of expensive items that need extra-careful handling or special attention. more

You Must Call Express Movers Before You Move in the Puget Sound Area 12/24/2007

This was far and away our best moving experience, and no small thanks goes to Express Movers. There were excellent. They provided prompt, professional, quality service. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family without reservation. \r \r Please note that I think this is only the third review I have written on citysearch in over seven years of living here and the other two I only wrote because I was trying to save others the pain using a specific company. Now I am trying to save all of you the pain of using another company to move other than Express Movers.\r \r We moved from Cap Hill/First Hill to West Seattle. We actually had a good deal of stuff to move. They came over on a Friday and packed up all our stuff. Then, they showed up on time (frankly, a bit early because I told them they couldn't be late) again on Saturday and got everything moved out. We had an angry neighbor who tried to slow up the trip as much as possible, some awful weather, and some other unlucky events happen but...Myron and the guys at Express Movers made it happen. Myron was the leader of the guys and he was awesome. Everything was top notch.\r \r PROS: punctual, professional, courteous, trustworthy\r \r CONS:none\r \r PRICE:very competitive, maybe slightly higher than one or two quotes I got but the 10% off citysearch coupon made it as good or better than most.\r \r Conclusion: At least give these guys a call before you move. Even after we moved, they were still responsive after they had already been paid. They aim to please. And, the only thing of note that was broken (they broke a wine glass and coffee maker) was replaced. Toni, the owner, is also great and will make sure you are happy. From Myron to Toni to even the receptionist (forgot her name but very nice), they won't let you down.\r \r If you are moving anywhere in the great Puget Sound area, call Express Movers. Feel free to contact me if you have questions as I don't write reviews of any kind very often. Pros: Prompt, Reliable, Professional, Corteous more

Stress-free moving! 12/19/2007

We approached our move with more than a little apprehension. Although we were excited about our new home, we had heard nightmare stories from friends and co-workers about their experiences with moving companies. We are collectors and have quite a few pieces that needed extra special care. We were nervous to say the least. When our moving day arrived, we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised with the staff at Express Movers! They arrived on time and with smiles on their faces. They treated us and our belongings with the utmost respect and could not have been more organized and helpful. Myron, our lead guy, was so courteous and knowlegeable that our fears were soon put to rest. Not only did they treat our belongings with extreme care, I was impressed with the measures they took to protect the floors and walls of our present and new homes. It was clear that these guys were well trained and took their jobs seriously. The fact that they were uniformed, pleasant and friendly was an added bonus. \r We have already recommened them to friends who will soon be moving their small business and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for dependable, hard-working movers. Pros: hard working, friendly, efficient Cons: no more

Slow, unprofessional, misleading, and careless service 11/29/2007

We were extremely let down by their lack of service. The estimator got lost, arrived late, and gave us an extremely low estimated price. On the day of the move they also arrived late because they ""did not have a truck available"" and took a very long time to get organized. For much of the morning the movers stood around and didn't do much work. They broke two solid wood pieces of furniture due to carelessness. The lead mover spent much of the day training other staff, while we were charged by the hour and passed off his duties to someone with little experience. We were mislead that the time to unwrap the items the movers had packed was included - thus costing us more time and more money. It was so bad that my husband had to start moving furniture into the house himself as they were going so slowly. We've moved multiple times and have never dreamed of a ""professional"" moving company to be so ill-prepared and poorly trained. We felt cheated, overcharged, and frustrated by the vast amounts of time wasted. Cons: Service, speed, honesty, experience, everything really more

EXCELLENT SERVICE FROM EVERYONE! 11/5/2007

I highly recommend this very professional, service-oriented moving company. From the beginning of our move to the end we got the feeling that they truly wanted our business and wanted happy, satisfied customers. As I watched the crew, I could tell they really took pride in their work. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful and the move was well-organized and efficient. As a bonus, they are locally owned...a fact we like to keep in mind when using companies. We will definitely use (and recommend) their services again! Pros: Highly professional and courteous. more

Very Professional, highly recommended 8/17/2007

Everybody I dealt with was excellent from the lady on the phone who set up the time to the movers who did the job to the thank you letter sent afterward. Matthew, the crew lead had great organizational skills. He and his crew exceeded all expectations. In short, these guys rock. The next time someone asks me who to use for moving, the answer is easy: Express Movers. Pros: So good moving again doesn't worry me. Cons: can't think of any more

Worse moving experience ever. Didn't even bring a hand truck. 8/10/2007

Well I moved again and this time to Portland Or. After the last experience I called and setup an appointment with Express movers. It was a disaster. All they were doing was the load out to the rental moving truck. They were suppose to be there about 9 AM. The first guy showed up at 10:00 and it was only his 1st day on the job. Then Adrian showed up at about 11 AM. They had a no show but didn't tell me that until Adrian got on site. They only brought tape and pads but I rented the pads since this was a one way move. NO Plastic wrap NO HAND TRUCK (they had to use mine and only 1) NO dollies NO Mattress bag I was given 20% off but was told I would get 10% off anyway. On top of all this nightmare and causing me to be in both Seattle and Tacoma rush hours (2 hours to Olympia). This should have been a slam dunk with an elevator and short run to the truck. I called and asked for another $100 discount but haven't heard back. I guess since I have left the area it doesn't matter. Save yourself some grief and don't use them. Toni said she would call me back. Well it has been 11 days and no call back. I guess since I left the area they don't care. Pros: None on this move Cons: Charged me to much for a hung over and a rookie mover. Didn't bring anything to the move other than tape. more
