I can only think of one word to describe them: fan-freaking-tastic. They’ve handled our last two moves, and I can’t imagine leaving our stuff in anyone else’s hands.

These guys are 5-star all the way… Kris, Jason, and Matt (who I dealt with on the phone and via e-mail to set up the move) all seemed like really good guys in addition to being a tremendous help with our move…
Every time I see their trucks I grin because it was such a positive experience.

Bookstore Movers made relocating my 90yr old mom so easy. The reservation process was easy, and the recommendations from Kate were helpful. Greg, Russ, and Maurice showed up at the appointed time and got right to work, grabbing the boxes and wrapping delicate items in blankets they were very careful with my mom’s things and very sweet and courteous to her. A move at any age is hard, but this was emotionally and physically jarring to leave her residence of 43 years. The guys were quick, and they made the whole experience about as painless as it possibly could have been. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We recently used bookstore movers to move from a difficult to access Capitol Hill row house with lots of narrow stairs. The move exceeded our best expectations. The reservation and estimation process was friendly and easy. The reminders and requests for an updated move inventory was helpful and professional. The move itself was remarkable. Three young men showed up on time, politely introduced themselves and then turned into a moving whirlwind. Although they very carefully wrapped all items, the move from the old apartment was complete in less than an hour. Despite having to wait for the loading dock and elevators at the new apartment, the move was completed 15 minutes before the estimated time. Again, at the end of the process, the three movers shook our hands and thanked us for the opportunity to be our movers. Additionally, Bookstore Movers supports its local community and is a great business citizen on Capitol Hill. All in all, VERY impressive experience and worthy of recommendation without hesitation.

I used Bookstore Movers for a small office move, involving three separate locations in Virginia and Maryland. They definitely earned their 5 stars every step of the process ran smoothly. The schedulers provided very helpful information on how to prepare for the move, and they checked in twice in the days just prior to moving day to make sure everything was on track. The crew was prompt (a bit early, actually), friendly, and very efficient. I highly recommend them!

There’s a reason these guys get 5 stars. They are organized, courteous, efficient and careful with your stuff. Renting bins rather than buying boxes that you have to recycle is also helpful because there is a lot less trash which helps with the chaos on the other end of the move. I have moved many times and this is the best and most pleasant experience as far as moving goes that one can possibly hope for. Moving is never fun, but these guys make it less painful.

Have nothing but good things to say about Bookstore Movers. I really liked the useful bin rentals (they rent you big, sturdy, stackable blue bins for packing your stuff, deliver them before your move, and then pick them empty a few days later at your new place). The company also works with you to get very detailed information about your move, answer any questions, and make sure that everyone is clear about what’s happening, when, and how.

There’s a reason this company has over 400 five star reviews. Truly professional moving services with a personal touch. Reliable, intelligent and careful is how we’d describe them. Don’t know how we got along without them! We run a home staging company and move frequently, so quality and care with furnishings is important to us. We haven’t been disappointed. They offer packing and labor as well as moving crewsso you’re always covered whatever your needs. Communication is a breeze and the teams at Bookstore Movers are the best! Great fellows : )Do yourself a favor and call this company for your next move. You’ll be writing a 5 star review, too!

From my initial request for a quote to the communications day of, everything (and everyone) at Bookstore Movers was professional, polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Even when different people passed off the communications, it never felt like I had to restart the conversation. For lovers of system and process (guilty!), watching the crew work was super impressive. When you see people good at what they do, you just gotta love it. It’s tough to do backbreaking work like this, folks. And for people to do it with good cheer is lovely to experience.
