Philadelphia Mover Reviews
The guys were very courteous and punchual. I was told it would be four guys for four hours but somehow that wasn't conveyed properly. Although, everything was done that I paid them to do and I'd use the service and those guys again. Thank you for your service that you provided.
Great movers! On time, careful, and nice.
The guys did an amazing job getting all of our stuff into a single 16ft POD and they even had a few minutes to spare. HIGHLY recommend!
Dre and his crew were awesome- arrived early and finished quickly! Would use again!
Arrived on time. Knew how to take apart my furniture and refrigerator to get it out of the house. Chaz, Antoine and Tae were efficient yet careful of the walls and furniture when loading. Very friendly on top of it all. Can’t recommend them enough!
Very quick, professional and friendly
I can honestly say these were the 2 best movers I’ve ever had. Both were fast and yet careful with packing. Also Hector helped me make a decision with storage for my move and gave some great advice. I would highly recommend this mover to anyone.
Excellent work
They did a wonderful job, were on time and very efficient. Thank you!
They were very carefull with the loading of the truck and the movement of my items from storage. They were on time and very curtious as well.
Great job. On time and professional. The team really packed it to the ceiling and saved linear feet. Would highly recommend!
Worked hard, very respectful, very efficient
Great team. Organized hard working and personable.
Denise Dunn
Movers-R-Us did and excellent job with our move! They confirmed in advance, showed up on time, and were super efficient with everything. They handled our items with care and were very thoughtful with space when loading the pods. Both gentlemen that came we kind and respectful of our home. I would highly recommend them for any move!
Dexter and Kyle from Moving Hands did a great job unloading our pod yesterday. They were timely, courteous and worked hard. They wrapped up the unloading of our 16-foot pod in 2 hours. Lastly, though they were set to unload our pod a day later, I called Moving Hands when our pod arrived earlier than expected. Dexter shifted the move date as per my request and unloaded our pod a day earlier. I truly expect their flexibility.
They did a great job. We were very pleased. They went above and beyond. We would definitely hire them again.
The young men arrived on time, were exceedingly polite and extremely well mannered. They were respectful of my belongings and cheerfully obliged my preferences. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this company.
They did a fabulous job-my bed frame needed to be disassembled to get upstairs, and they both disassembled and reassembled the frame before leaving. Very nice folks-would use this for another move.
Fantastic!
I have moved 8 times in my adult life. I have never used a moving company before. Every move would have been so much better if I had! These 3 gentlemen are so thorough and kind. They were so much fun to be around that my stress melted away! They completed the move in the suggested time and thanked me! I couldn't thank them enough! So Jamal, Eric G. and Harry thank you again! You're the best!
The guys were friendly, amazing, and fast! I will absolutely recommend Hire a Helper and IJC Logistics to everyone I know that needs to move. I am very impressed with their professionalism and how rapidly they completed both ends of my move. Well done!!
Last Minute Movers were on time and very nice. Nothing was a big deal for them. I will definitely use them again.

Real Advice from Philadelphia Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Philadelphia. (They’re really nice!)
"If moving in the center city/downtown area of Philadelphia get a permit for your truck, because parking is nearly impossible down there. Also from my experience in the moving industry in the Philadelphia market its a little easier to book a uhual truck."
- Residential Power Services"It’s always best to plan your move during days and hours that has less street traffic if it is an inner city move. This will help cut down any unforeseen delays."
- ManPro"Whether you're moving to or from the east coast, most places are good for driving moving trucks and PODS. There are some small streets, but you'll be fine for the most part."

I initially had a lot of frustrations with the subcontractors who completed my move but when I made the company aware of it they quickly reached out and provided a refund and apology for my inconvenience. I really appreciated the follow-up and good customer service. I know moves don't always go smoothly, but it was great to have such a kind and responsive company follow up with me.
The staff was hardworking and emptied our 16' POD container into our second floor apartment in under 2 hours. I would definitely recommend Moving Minions.
They were very communicative, chill, and quick! Not all of my belongings ended up fitting in the truck I rented, so I actually contacted them a second time as well for the next day. Both times went fantastic. Very hardworking, respectful, friendly guys.

These guys were great! They arrived early, worked hard, took excellent care with all my things and finished under time. The elevator at Public Storage was broken and they had to bring my very large and overly heavy furniture down the stairs and absolutely nothing got damaged. I would use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Hector and his crew were absolutely outstanding. Everyone was very kind and respectful both of our property and our family. There was zero damage to any of my items. Hector is a true professional and I would absolutely use H&M again.
The helpers were on time, respectful, communicative, and worked very hard to get everything moved as quickly as possible, with great care. I would highly recommend you go with these guys!
Excellent service I was so pleased with the job that the two gentlemen that came to put things in my storage pod would recommend them highly wonderful job.
They arrived on time and finished within the two hours. They were extremely polite and offered to do anything they could to help. I'd absolutely recommend them!
The crew arrived on time. Completed the load expeditiously, neatly, professionally, and within the base time frame. The team lead Hector and the assistant Louis were both exemplary. I would be glad to use H&M Movers and this particular crew again.
Wow! These guys moved all of my heavy, awkward furniture up a narrow staircase on a hot day. Hanif and Chuck were efficient and friendly (and patient with my chatty father, besides…), and I am so grateful for their help. I will be so glad to hire them again next time I need help with a move!
