AJ Moving and delivery did a great job with our local move. They arrived on time and prepared. They took great care of our belongings. I would highly recommend,
Was on time moved every item efficiently and with care.
Ben and Darius were outstanding. They had experience packing a POD, hustled throughout the process, were careful with every piece. By careful packing, they filled the POD right up to the closure door. It was a tight load, just what we wanted and needed. I am requesting both men to help us unload when we move back in to the renovated apartment in December. I’m insisting on it!
Everthing went very well.
Incredible team!!! Highly recommend Corey and his team were competent, efficient, polite and professional. Will definitely use them again!!
I would recommend this mover over and over again. We had a very urgent move due to a family health emergency. Ken and his team took tremendous care of our family's items - whether it was furniture, or our treasured memorabilia. I thank them for how kind and caring they were as well as efficient. They are awesome.
The movers were professional and courteous throughout. They demonstrated high level of experience while loading the PODs ensuring each item was secured and unharmed.
Chase and Kerion were fantastic. They busted their tails to get the job done carefully and right.
Great work. Thanks.
Haul of Fame Movers? What can I say? Nothing less than excellent! On time, prepared, and best of all, ready for the job at hand. Both men were professional and truly helpful!! I'd rate more than 5 stars!! I'm grateful for wonderful service. Receiving great customer service is a value! Thank you for going the extra mile!!!
Mark and Jordan were fantastic! They were quick to help and keep things moving. They moved my mother in law’s items quickly and carefully. They were life savers!!!
The two-person crew, with Milton as the lead, were outstanding. They arrived on time, prepared, professional/friendly, and respectful. I would hire them again.
Excellent and professional and very nice
They did an excellent job of unloading a pod and taking about half of it to an apartment and half in storage.
Couldn’t ask for a better service , They were quick , efficient , and very considerate
Super great - hard working and personable!!
Wonderful crew On time and polite. Careful with stuff
Francois and Eli were fabulous! Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Ty. He is very strong, experienced and respectful. His good humor and joyful dispositions makes me believe in humanity again. He was on time, which is rare nowadays. I will use his services again without hesitation.
I had an excellent experience with Precise Carriers! From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and friendly. The movers arrived on time and handled my belongings with great care, ensuring everything was safely packed and transported. They worked quickly, yet meticulously, and were always respectful of my space. The whole process was seamless, and the pricing was fair with no hidden fees. I highly recommend Precise Carriers to anyone looking for a stress-free move. Thank you for making this transition so easy!
Great Team. Great attitude. Hard working.
These guys We’re excellent ! The first company we hired never showed up and this company showed up within a couple hours to take over the job and they had our pod completely cleaned out for us in about an hour and a half and they did an excellent job and didn’t damage anything I would highly recommend them to anyone else
Carlton and Gia were professional, arrived “early”, and delivered services above expectations! We really appreciated their manpower to move our personal belongings. Thank you again!!!
All in all they did a good job. Only complaint is they packed all of the boxes first and all of the furniture second and did not tie down as they went.
These guys were excellent! Arrived on time and completed the job on time. Worked very hard the entire time. Wrapped my furniture and packed the pod - terrific job! Highly recommend. They know what they are doing.
Very nice and did a great job
Both the movers and packers did a great job and would highly recommend them.

Real Advice from Richmond Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Richmond. (They’re really nice!)
"If you're in Richmond city, make sure you double check street signs. It can get really tricky and there are lots of no parking zones to abide by along with specific parking times. If you're moving from out of state use the google map to check the area or if you're local drive by the place a few times to get the scope of it."

Major Neighborhoods in Richmond
As the capital of Virginia, Richmond is a metro with a lot to offer. While not strictly a college town, Virginia Commonwealth University fills many parts of the city with students and the vibe of being on an extended campus. There are also a lot of landmarks and buildings that have history built into the foundations, but the top one is probably St. John’s Church, where Patrick Henry gave his famous “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. Art buffs have a place to love in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which features pieces by local artists and rotating exhibits. If you're planning on making this your new home, you’ll want to enlist the help of local movers who have experience with the city's roads, parking, and eccentricities.
The Fan District
Also known as simply “The Fan,” the Fan District is centered on the busy VCU campus. As you'd expect from a neighborhood that serves a lot of students, there are plenty of coffee shops, boutiques, brewpubs, and live music venues. Try the open-air concerts and festivals hosted on Brown’s Island, an artificial island in the middle of the James River. You can also stroll along that riverfront or check out a tour of the John Marshall House, the former home of Chief Justice John Marshall. Of course, being a neighborhood with a university means that the traffic conditions change seasonally in The Fan, so consider hiring local movers familiar with the patterns. Their know-how helps them get you to your new home stress-free.
Church Hill
Church Hill combines the city's history with a restaurant selection that's any foodie's dream. Even better, it's incredibly walkable, which is great for day-to-day errands and exploring popular spots. As for where to begin, try 8 ½ for Italian takeout or drop by Alewife if you're craving mid-Atlantic seafood. You can hang out with a miniature-sized Statue of Liberty at Chimborazo Park, or take a walk through Libby Hill Park, which offers some incredible views of the city lights and the riverfront. In fact, it's said that "Richmond" got its name because the view of the James River is the same as the Thames from Richmond Hill in London. So if you want to live by that iconic view yourself, rely on local movers to make your relocation a breeze.
Carytown
Carytown is a hotspot known as “The Mile of Style”, undoubtedly because of the bright murals painted on the sides of some buildings and the unique stores that call the neighborhood home. Plan 9 Music is one of those shops, and you should absolutely visit if you're a music lover or vinyl collector. You can also do a grocery run at Elwood Thompson’s, a locally-owned organic market that has a juice bar too. Byrd Theater (aka "The Movie Palace") has been around since the late 1920s and still screens modern movies — the architecture and history alone is worth at least one visit. Planning to join the Carytown community? Then check out our list of local movers who will help take over the logistics for you.
Shockoe Bottom
If you like to live right next to history, then Shockoe Bottom is a perfect fit. This neighborhood sits on the riverside in the Northeastern part of the city, and is home to places like the Edgar Allen Poe Museum, where fans can learn more about the famous author’s life. There's also Tobacco Row, where you can see the facades of old warehouses that have since been repurposed into apartments and other buildings. The neighborhood hosts the weekly 17th Street Market, which is one of the longest-running farmer's markets in the country. Before you start packing, though, be sure to check into hiring local movers to help with your relocation. They can navigate around the area's traffic and older streets with ease.

They were exceptional! They showed up 30 minutes early and worked very hard for the duration of the move. They were also very fairly priced comparatively. Would highly recommend working with them.
Alex, Tony, and Nate (Little Turbo ??) were fantastic! Highly recommend. Professional, respectful, and great attitude!! Fortunate to have this team in your company!
These guys were AWESOME!! I have never hired movers before and they put my mind at ease. So efficient and professional. I was running behind and they worked with me and did such an amazing job. Would absolutely recommend to anybody in the area. Thank you so much!!
Our moving crew crew arrived a few minutes early. They were friendly and professional. They inventoried the job and got to work. I highly recommend John and Marshal!
Friendliest and most professional movers I have ever seen! These guy went above and beyond and treated my house as if it was their own. I highly recommend this group for your next move!!
Devin and Darius did a super job! A duo that works extremely well together; professional, polite….here to get the job done, and most willingly assisted client when she was not 100% ready for their pack out service. Also, kept client appraised of their arrival time…a courtesy I greatly appreciated!
They were so attentive, kind, efficient and…..EARLY! Loved working with them through my moving process they were wonderful and I’d recommend them to anyone!
Alex and Nate were on time, extremely professional and courteous, and exceptionally hard workers. They went beyond my expectations. Outstanding job! Don Pagliaro
Demetri and Mohammad were both fantastic at their job. They worked quickly and carefully to move everything from my storage unit to my house. They even moved some items I already had in my house to areas I could not do myself. 10/10 service and would recommend hiring Affix movers.
good job. would recommend that in the future that the workers wear shoe coverings when going in and out of the home, as well as up and down the stairs to prevent spot from shoes causing dirt marks on carpet and floors. overall d a great job. be cognizant of the amount of time on cell phones throughout the course of doing the job.
We secured unloading a Pod storage unit with an 2-day window. The price is very affordable and Our movers were on time , professional and courteous. I would highly recommend this company for your move and will be using them again soon since this move was only temporary.
These two are brothers and are amazing people! They work hard and really pay attention to protecting your things during the move. We highly recommend them. Mark & Jenny H.
