Abba Moving

(5÷1÷2015) I spent a lot of time looking at moving companies b/​c for one reason or another, I move almost every year. WE are long past the have your friends over and move your stuff stage of life so were the only real option. In 2013, we used movers and had a very very bad experience. At that time, we learned how much control movers can have over ruining your day and how little control you have.
Based on our previous bad experience, we wanted 2 things:
1) A contract that clearly stated any foreseeable fees– mileage, time alloted, what they would or wouldn’t move, whether they would «HAVE“to pack certain things to move them or were we allowed to, etc 2) decent Better business bureau grade w/​RESOLVED complaints (if any at all).
We got lots of quotes and everyone said the right things…2 man job vs 3 man job, yes we are insured, oh yeah it will be great and easy and cheap and of course we will show up with the right amount of people and work hard and not break up all your stuff. But when i started checking BBB ratings, most fell more than just a little flat… like D’s and F ratings.
Oddly enough, Abba had good Unilocal ratings, good BBB ratings AND there was a Unilocal discount (nominal, but something).
They showed up (a big deal for us since our last movers failed to do that). They had 2 guys and a foreman…3 very nice respectful strong healthy guys who didn’t take smoke breaks on our time or drag their feet. They wrapped up our stuff they way they liked to for easier moving while they worked. They didn’ move certain fragile things if we didn’t let them wrap it their way but they were all things we didn’t want moved in a moving truck (big screen tvs) and they were very respectful about it. They were fast but not in a way that lead to our stuff begin damaged. They rolled up our rugs and put stuff down in the new place how we wanted it (kind of awesome). They showed up when they were supposed to. They didn’t haggle w/​us about the price. They accepted our coupon. They did their jobs.
For movers, they were spectacular.

Didn’t get past the first phone call. Staff was not helpful and borderline rude. Went with other movers recommended Unilocal

We checked out a few moving companies for our office before choosing Abba. On moving day they came right on time. The crew was curtious and very accommodating. I’m only giving a 4 because we did have a small issue. The issue was resolved to my satisfaction. I would absolutely use them again. The price was great, the move was smooth. Thanks

Called to get a quote today. Person who answered phone laughed at me because I didn’t meet the minimum. Seriously? When I’m moving a bunch of stuff that meet the minimum, I sure know who not to call

My Family and I just move from Woodlawn to Pasadena MD. The guys came on time and ready to work. They did a great and careful job loading our belongings, Kids toys, and Furniture. I could not ask for a better crew. They unload everything just as well and sorted the boxes to the right rooms. They were also great about protecting my NEW floors and walls. I will recommend them to everyone. Abba Moving gets a A+.

I just moved using these guys this past weekend and they were absolutely the best part of our move.
We hemmed and hawed between moving companies and ended up choosing Abba. (My husband «had a good feeling») They were top notch with communication: following up, answering all my questions and concerns, spending more time than probably necessary on the phone with me going over our inventory, and confirming everything.
Day of, we were given a 9 – 930 arrival window. They didn’t show up til 950 but the apartment IS downtown and there was a big accident on 83, so who knows what contributed to their lateness. It didn’t really matter though, within 10min of being at the apartment they already had items in the truck. These 3 guys were quick, efficient, and careful with our belongings. Did I mention we moved out of a walk up? 57 steps, each way. Not one complaint during the entire move. Completely polite and professional the entire time.
They arrived at the house and had the truck unpacked in an hour. These guys were like the most gentle tornado ever. They never stopped. Not one break. We had a case of water on hand for them, and let them have as much as they wanted, but they drank as they moved. I asked them to place the items in one spot, then asked them to move to another. They smiled and assured me it was no problem at all. (Genuine smiles, too. Not like «Im smiling because I cant smack you» smiles) Again, completely polite and professional.
In the end, the move ended up costing us $ 300+ LESS than what we were quoted, a direct result of these guys banging out this move like a bunch of animals. I had a question about the final cost (moving brain confusion) and I emailed them thinking I would hear back from the office on Monday; Abba responded immediately. I hopefully wont be moving again anytime soon, but if I were, Abba would certainly know about it. 100% recommend Abba for your move.

We just moved from Lutherville to Towson and these movers were great! They we punctual, fast and extremely cautious with our furniture and our house. I would definitely recommend this company to a friend or family!

These guys moved me twice. Once from Pikesville to Rockville, once within the Rockville area. Of all my stuff, they never broke a thing. They’re hard workers and quiet, even on the hottest days, and give you extra guys at no extra charge if they think your move is beyond what they initially quoted you. They will charge you additional for moving materials (boxes and tape) on the day of. Also, be prepared for them to bang up your walls in your staircases. Overall though, I’d use them again. Especially since they’re cheaper than a lot of other movers in the DC area.

We moved from Frederick to Germantown Md this week and called around to get estimates from several companies. Abba was by far the cheapest… usually I assume you get what you pay for, but based on the reviews here, and the fact they have an A+ BBA rating I booked them. The guys were awesome and very quick. Nothing in our house was damaged, they wrapped the furniture and moved it all safely. Needless to say we are very pleased with them and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Wow were these guys great, they showed up early and worked efficiently and hard all day long. They took extreme car of all of my furniture and valuables without them this would have been a horrendous day. Very professional, couldn’t believe they only took 1 real break all day as it was very hot out. I would recommend them to anyone, they were tremendous.
