American Budget Movers

this is the second time I’ve use this company and they’re efficient and affordable. We had to move three bedrooms and a living room area a storage unit. We were very concerned everything wouldn’t fit, but these guys stacked and stored everything in the unit with ease! The only complaint is I had a 2 – 6 window and they arrived a little after 6, but I expected this and was prepared. Regardless these guys keep it moving and get the job done well. I will definitely continue to use them.

I used these guys due to a recommendation from a friend who had used them twice in the past. Scheduling was super easy and their rates are great. My appointment was scheduled for 9am, and they showed up right on time. Another plus! But that’s about where it ends, upon moving my furniture into the new place, they put multiple gashes in the wall (that required spackling, sanding, and repainting) and almost every piece of furniture is scraped along the corners/​edges. I’m not sure if they didn’t use blankets in the truck or what, but the furniture was only moved 0.6 miles down the road.
My roommate moved in a few days later and his movers (different company) didn’t seem to have the problem with marking up the walls, even though we have the same sized furniture/​bed.
I’m assuming that my movers were either new, or just didn’t try that hard. They were friendly, but not the most knowledgeable. I even had to suggest a way to get the couch upstairs.

I am shocked that the woman who books services is the owner. I called this afternoon to ask some clarifying questions with the full intention of handing over my credit card info, regardless of the answers. The owner was rude, unhelpful, and entirely flippant towards me. I asked twice if she needed my credit card info, and I got none responses. When I asked if she would prefer I called back tomorrow, she was again very rude. After explaining that I felt she didn’t want my business, to answer my questions, or to even speak to me, she got angry and apparently she couldn’t even hear me for the majority of our call! Rather than telling me at the start that she couldn’t understand me and asking me to call back, she was rude and dismissive. Why continue a phone call when you can’t understand the other person?! I have never been so horrified by how a business owner treats their potential customers. If you’re having a bad day, hand the call to someone else. If you can’t understand the person on the other end, have them call back. If you don’t want someone’s business, definitely do what this woman did and actually tell them you don’t care. I’m extremely glad that I haven’t booked this woman’s services and referred her to my family members who are also moving within the next six weeks. I only hope she treats her employees better than her customers.

Fantastic experience! I was cutting it a little close making the appointment (I called on Wednesday for a Saturday move) and they said they only had the 12 – 4 window available. I took it, and they called at 12:00 to tell me they were 20 minutes away. They loaded up all of my stuff from my basement apartment (including an unwieldy couch, lots of books, and some big bedroom furniture) and moved it to my new (upstairs) apartment in under 2 hours. They were efficient, quick, pleasant, careful with my stuff, and did a great job! If I move in the area again, I will definitely use them!

These guys were awesome! Showed up 15 minutes early and worked quickly and carefully. The initial quote was much cheaper than other companies that I looked into and the $ 55/​extra hour is unbeatable. The condo unit I moved to had double cooked the loading dock and they were very accommodating in waiting the extra 30 mins to unload. Only draw back is that they are cash only, but totally worth it and will use them for my next move!

I can’t say enough good things about ABM. The two men who moved everything were prompt and efficient, and took half the time (and half the price!) that several other moving companies in the area had quoted us. They took everything we asked them to, and even set up our beds for us without us even asking, which we weren’t expecting. I was unsure about hiring movers at first, but after our great experience, I will definitely be returning to ABM for our next move!

This is the second time in two years that ABM has moved me. Each time they’ve been quick, courteous, and efficient. They are extremely nice from the time I made my appointment to the time they finished moving my belongings. This time around they moved half of my stuff to my new home and the other half to a storage facility.
Next time when I move to my forever home, I will definitely use American budget movers!

These guys were really great. Our old landlord decided to move back into a house I shared with 3 roommates so we got the boot and were tasked with moving our entire house into a new townhouse. None of us had ever hired movers before but because it was such a big move we pretty much had to– thank god we did because it would have really sucked to do that move ourselves.
They moved a 4-​bedroom house worth of stuff into a 3 level townhouse a couple miles away which ended up taking a total of 6.5 hours (3 guys + 24 ft truck). They were cheery, hardworking and didn’t complain or slow down despite having to haul an absurd amount of unwieldy stuff up two large flights of stairs. They were very careful with our stuff and as far as I know nothing was broken or chipped in the process. They know what they are doing and have all the proper materials to prevent damage. They have maneuvering large furniture through tight doorways down to a science.
And last but not least, their prices are unbeatable. I chose them based on a recommendation from a friend who had similar budget constraints and I too will be recommending AB movers to friends without hesitation.

I use this company a couple years ago and I didn’t have a good experience. I decided to give them another chance, and they did outstanding job, perhaps they went through a re organization I’m not sure but the guys moved my condo on the 4^th floor and into storage in 2&a half hours awesome. Carissa handled my reservation and all my questions… Extremely professional and customer service was on point. Price is reasonable… I would use them again.

Very reasonably priced, extremely reliable and careful with contents, these guys showed up at least 15 minutes early and were very professional. They laid down mats leading towards each room so as not to track in dirt/​water on a very rainy day. The three men finished the job in record time without sacrificing quality or breaking anything. I will definitely call these guys again!!!

Wowzers!!! I have to write in defense of Tisha W. regarding the response made by Carissa from ABmovers.
I as well used ABmovers August 30 2013. I was so happy with them I just remembered I wanted to come on Unilocal and write a great review. But woah did Carissa’s response bring that rating down one star.
About my move: they were extremely professional. 3 movers came to my house right on time! (including one woman who I thought was only going to do the guiding, boy was I wrong she was a beast! She was carrying things I would never have been able to lift). That day was the hottest of the summer and they had to move the things up so many flights of stairs I was feeling so bad for them. But they did not complain or even get angry or rude. They stayed nice and professional just asking me where to put the different things. All I could do was keep offering them water. I also loved that they wrapped everything without being asked and were careful with my things.
@ Tisha’s comment: I wanted it done in two hours because I literally lived 10mins up the road and everything was packed except the big stuff. It took maybe 2.5. The thing is, 3 people came and about one trip into moving into the new place I lost a man. My sister and I were like where did he go. But we never asked we just were too concerned with everything else. So it is very funny that Tisha and I shared the same experience of losing a mover. Tisha just had the sense to go looking for him. I think before Carissa jumped to get so defensive about that situation she should really think about the amount of people that don’t complain for so many reasons, they just don’t use that company anymore. For me the most important things were courtesy to me and my things. But everyone has different priorities and if three people come to do a move three people really should have been working.
Nevertheless, I will def. be using this company on my next move. hopefully they are still in business!

Literally the worst customer service experience I have had in as long as I can remember. I would give «0 stars» if I could. You truly get what you pay for with this company.
The short and sweet version of the horrendous experience I had includes:
– Never hearing from the office when my appointment window of Noon-​4 had expired and the movers had not yet arrived nor contacted me to say they were on their way.
– Never receiving an answer to my calls to the office trying then figure out what was going on.
– The only reason I found out that the truck intended for my move had broken down was because I called the number to a different moving company (Two Men Moving & Storage) from a different phone because I suspected the companies were connected since the prices and voice of the woman answering the phones were the same. I also wondered if my number was flagged since there was an issue with my appt.
– I finally received a call 2.5hrs after my appt. time had expired to let me know the movers had arrived. However, I was 15min away because I never received a call or voicemail letting me know they were on their way.
– I was then bombarded by calls from the impatient movers and staff as it took me 19min to arrive home.
– Once the move began, the movers caused damage to the frame of the storm door to the house. — They decided to scoot the truck back a few inches so the loading ramp would be flush with the threshold of the front door, but the truck jerked back causing the mover holding the extended ramp to slam into the door frame.
– Once I refused the nonspecific «discount» they offered for the damage, the movers then said they were no longer going to do the move and threatened to leave (which would have left me with few options as I had one day left to move before heading out of town for business and no flexibility in my schedule.
– Once the office spoke with the movers and returned my call complaining about the damage and their threats to leave, I was informed they were choosing to end the job b/​c they didn’t think they could finish in 2hrs as I had requested.– Mind you they were comfortable with the time-​frame when I first arrived and they began setting up for the move.
– The «customer service agent” – and I use this term very lightly– proceeded to, among other things call me a liar about the timing of the calls when I pointed out I never received a call saying they were on their way, literally yelled at me on the phone when I suggested the movers were dragging their feet to get setup and started, treated me as though I was being ridiculous for being so upset by the damage and threats to leave, and hung up on me when I didn’t engage in her juvenile, disrespectful behavior on the phone and instead said «okay, fine» when she conceded that they would move me and wouldn’t start the charge time until the current time (7:15PM).
IN THE END, the move only took an hour and 35min once it finally officially started (under 2hrs like I knew it would) and the movers did a great job with getting everything to my new place safely minus the damage they caused at the old house due to their negligence. I wasn’t charged the additional $ 10/​hr they typically charge for afternoon/​evening appointments but I was emotionally drained from the whole ordeal. I sent a detailed e-​mail to both companies associated with AB Movers and have yet to hear back on how to proceed with a claim for the damage to the storm door.
I had recommended the company to three friends getting ready to move because the price was so low and quickly called them all to make sure they didn’t put down a deposit.

The guys at ABMovers did a fantastic job. I live in a condo that is three floors and we had a ton of boxes and packages. They did an amazing job of bringing everything down and packing it quickly and efficiently. They were moving 3 – 4 boxes each and every time they went down A lot of the boxes were heavy and full of books. Also the temperature was high eighties and like 90% humidity. And when we got to the new house — they moved boxes to the right places — all the way in the basement or up to the second floor master closets. These guys made sure not make any dings or marks anywhere. They definitely did a good job and I recommend them. I guess a lot will be dependent on who you get — but these guys did a great job.
