Eversafe Moving Co.

I was having a hard time finding a moving company that would answer my phone calls, let alone give me a reasonably detailed quote. In fact 2 other moving companies I found were downright rude to me. One of them sounded like — I kid you not — a Russian mafioso that really didn’t want to deal with the hassle of moving my «small townhouse».
Then I found Eversafe via a Google search, and I am SO glad I did.
The agent (I forgot his name) on the phone was detail-​oriented (I guess they use a software program for their estimations). He was clear, forthcoming, and followed up via email. He promised that they bill based on the in/​out time, and they don’t round-​up. I was skeptical at first, but there was something about his candidness and transparency that appealed to me. He called me again the day before, to confirm the move across town (1 hour drive).
On the day of the move, the moving guys (Derek, Justin, and Jon) arrived almost 20 minutes early. They were fairly low-​key and professional (as much as muscular, sports-​loving, strapping young men can be, at any rate). They wrapped/​padded and loaded my property up with the necessary TLC to ensure that nothing would break. They drove off in the big-​ass truck and arrived at the destination *LESS THAN 5 MINUTES* AFTER ME!
Let that sink in for a minute, folks. After all, we’re talking about a moving company, here.
Without further ado, they checked out the house layout, then proceeded to offload our property with efficiency and care. Even though my wife and I sometimes accidentally misdirected them on item placement, they accepted the changes graciously and with ZERO GRUMBLING (at least within our earshot, hahah).
At the end, they marked time accurately, and invoiced me for a cost that was slightly lower than the original estimate. I gave them the maximum recommended tip, and they seemed really grateful. But later on my wife was like, you shoulda given a little more, because they were so hardworking and accommodating.
In summary: EverSafe’s agent AND their moving guys communicated honestly, fully and professionally… moved my belongings swiftly, were hardworking, and kept their promises. This is literally the most non-​BS experience I’ve ever had with a moving company. Hopefully they keep up the good work, keep hiring good movers, and their positive reputation spreads.
When I move again (because unfortunately I am in a rental), I will definitely call EverSafe, and ask for Derek, Justin, and Jon if they are still available. And next time I’ll be sure to tip more than the recommended amount!

Hired this company on a tight timeframe and a tight budget — received a reasonable estimate so I booked Eversafe. The crew showed up earlier than scheduled, took excellent care of the furniture, and did an excellent job all together.
Final price and time to complete the move was exactly as quoted. I cannot complain at all about my experience — it was a great relief to have this aspect of the move go so smoothly. I’d highly recommend this company to my family and friends.

Arrived on time, worked at a good pace, were friendly and did not damage anything. What else can you ask for? I would definitely use them again.

OUTSTANDING! I had to orchestrate a local move from a distance on behalf of niece in Philadelphia and EverSafe Moving Company was one of the companies I contacted. They were professional and quite responsive to my requests for information from the initial phone call to the day of the move. It was a pleasure to work Rob/​Ian and if we have to do it again, I would work with them again.
The day of the move the team arrived as on-​time, came in assessed the number and amount of items to be moved and executed the game plan. The care they took in wrapping the artwork was noted by my niece and mother and much appreciated along with the paper laid down on the floors to protect them. I can’t thank you enough for a JOB WELL DONE! Would I hire EverSafe Moving Company again ABSOLUTELY!

I don’t understand the negative reviews on pricing. First of all, EverSafe does take credit cards. I just moved on Wednesday and they took mine. I have used EverSafe twice. My quotes were reasonable and definitely in line with the other quotes I received (after all, who doesn’t comparison shop). I work in the transportation industry and you have to account for fuel and insurance. Just like anything else, you get what you pay for. I had movers who arrived early, began moving immediately, finished ahead of schedule and my quote was adjusted to reflect that. The guys, each time, were professional, courteous and handled my expensive furniture as they would their own. I would definitely use them again and would definitely recommend them! Be weary of the cheap movers unless you don’t care if your furniture is damaged.

I used them to move from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom house. They quoted me at around $ 535 for five hours of work. The guys came right on time, and were quick to carefully wrap everything up and load it onto the truck. The men were very polite and barely took any breaks at all, only here and there to rehydrate (it was a little warm that day). When we got to the house, they unloaded quickly, stopping only to ask where furniture or boxes went, if it wasn’t clearly written. It took them well under 5 hours to move, and they adjusted the price to reflect that. Everything was in very good condition and not a (new) scratch was found. Definitely will be using them again.

I had a very similar experience to Betty K, who posted on 6÷22÷14.
Very nice fellow (Angelo) contacted me back, but asked for information I had already placed in the email to Eversafe. That was a little frustrating.
I asked for references, too, as they indicate you can request the most recent from them, with no «cherry picking». Never got them from Eversafe.
Also, the round trip from their office to our apartment, to our new house, and then back to their office was well under 45 minutes. But I got a transportation fee estimate of 290 dollars. Unless your insurance is astronomical, I cannot see how they calculated this fee for such a short trip.
When I contacted Angelo to ask for a more detailed explanation (after pointing out how close all three locations were to each other), I never heard back from him.
Went with another mover that was cheaper and upfront about costs (and actually got back to me). Sorry guys, but you need to communicate with your prospective customers better! You are leaving money on the table!

I called EverSafe in early June 2014 when looking for quotes for a move to take place in late June, and spoke to Ian a couple of times by phone and e-​mail. I ended up going with a different moving company mostly because they had availability and took credit cards, and Eversafe didn’t. However, I still wanted to leave a positive review for EverSafe because out of approximately 10 moving companies I called, the only ones who bothered to call back timely and be polite and helpful on the phone were Ian/​Eversafe, and the other company I ended up using. The responses I got from the other companies ranged from disorganized to rude to simply no response at all to my contact. So based on the positive initial impression, I felt that EverSafe deserved a few stars.

This review is only about getting pricing and availability, not about their actual moving services.
The guy I talked to on the phone was very nice and answered all my questions. They sent me an email later on in the day with a quote and it was crazy expensive! My move was for a one bedroom apartment from Philly to an hour away and they quoted me at $ 1349. Since the guy I initially talked to was so friendly, I thought I would at least get more info on why they were charging so much (4 men and $ 350 travel charge). I’ve always had 2 or 3 movers for moves, so thought maybe they would think 3 movers would be enough. He basically responded with that they use a program they created etc etc and basically said our move will require 4 movers. He then basically said in the email «it’s probably more than you figure it should cost.» Okay fine.
Anyways, I called around to other movers in the area and everyone quoted us at much less (the next most expensive was $ 999). All quoted us with 3 movers. We ended up with movers that had 3 men. They finished in 5 and a half hours (EverSafe estimated it at 5.75) and the total move (including fuel charge) was $ 712. These movers did a great job and were incredibly efficient (they have 5 of 5 stars on Unilocal).
Maybe they are amazing movers. And he is right. It is more than I figure it should cost. And actually, they are just outright more expensive than other movers. There are many movers in the area that do a good job and are less expensive.

I have called this company on several occasions to get pricing and availability. Each time their quotes have been exorbitantly high, and if you ask why, they explain that ONLY THEY pay their employees a living wage. Sorry, I’ve personally known movers for Mastrocco, Wayne, and Mambo, and they all make good wages. EverSafe has a janky business model, pure and simple. If they have no availability and you ask for a recommendation for another moving company, they say «We don’t trust any other moving companies.» Here’s a tip: you should be well-​versed enough within your industry to be able to throw a reference to another company. If you think everyone you meet is dumb, chances are you’re the dumb one. If you think yours is the only company worth a damn, most likely the opposite is true.

Great company. Stuck very close to my quote and helped me out a lot along the way for myself being a first time user of a moving company. The movers that came in were both courteous and professional. Very cautious with our items. Highly recommend and I would use them again in the future.

BEST MOVING EXPERIENCE EVER! They were exactly on time, professional, friendly, neat & clean, and right on with their estimate! No hidden fees, and very friendly professional customer service and communication! Rob was great and so were the two gentlemen that helped move me! I’d use them again in a heartbeat!

I used Eversafe for my move yesterday and I am so happy with their high quality service. The movers were prompt, courteous and true professionals. I still can’t believe how quickly they were able to pack all of my stuff into the truck and get it to my new place. They were quick but very careful. All of the furniture was wrapped and protected and once at my new place, the movers managed to bring big furniture through tight spaces without scratching or denting anything. Final cost of my move was lower than estimated. Awesome job! They really took the stress out of my move. Thanks, Eversafe!

These guys are amazing. Rob was so professional and helpful over the phone. Due to the horrific weather conditions we had to reschedule at the last minute and he was able to accommodate us without a problem. The movers showed up early. I think that’s completely unheard of. They were all the most pleasant and polite people, everything they did was with a smile. The price they charged us came in SO much lower than what was originally quoted, I almost fainted. Their website is so straightforward and they really mean it when they say no hidden pricing! I would ABSOLUTELY use them in the future and have already recommended to family and friends!

Fantastic service! Rob and Ian were incredibly forthcoming and honest with pricing and details for my move from North NJ to Philly and my move came in very close to my estimate despite being a little longer than expected. The price lock guarantee put me at ease that I could plan to pay a maximum of 10% higher than the quote, which I felt good about since it eliminated any guessing on my part. The movers were incredibly fast, kind and courteous, which made my move super smooth. Bottom line – eversafe is a no nonsense moving company that you can trust to get the job done. I will definitely use them again!

My wife and I used EverSafe this past weekend to move from South Philadelphia to our new home in Drexel Hill. They were — hands down — the easiest and best movers we have ever had.
A group of four clean-​cut guys showed up on time and ready to work. We had most of our belongings packed in cardboard boxes and most of our furniture already disassembled. They were able to clear out our entire two bedroom row home in under two hours. A few reasons that led us to choose EverSafe:
— They pad and shrink wrap all large items INSIDE of the house before it is moved to their trucks. On a rainy day this would be a big benefit in that there is very little chance your items will get water on them. This also lessens the chance of damage.
— Out of the handful of companies that we had called for over-​the-​phone estimates; Ian at EverSafe was by far the easiest to talk to, most helpful, and most professional. First impressions are everything and we were sold.
— They will bring multiple smaller trucks rather than a large moving van. Street parking was an issue in our old South Philly home so we saw this as a big benefit. For city dwellers like us TAKE NOTE: reserve temporary no parking signs through your local police district well in advance. The closer they can park to your front door the better! It saves them time and you money!
The gentlemen that we had moved fast, were in good spirits, spoke english, and were the hardest working movers we have experienced. Both my wife and I will recommend EverSafe to anyone we know who is moving.
Great job guys — this was the first time we have ever moved and my wife and I were still on speaking terms by the end of the day! A+!

I CAN’T say enough about these guys! 1^st of all I’ve moved plenty of times before — never have I had such precise & detailed questions asked of me. What’s that about? Whatever it is– THESE GUYS KNOW what they’re talking about! They had our move timed almost to the minute! The quote we were given was right on the money with a $ 5 difference! If you’ve ever moved you know that NEVER happens! Usually $ 100 or so more!
Ok ok no one wants to be overcharged — we weren’t. BUT on top of that they were very inexpensive & more than reasonable. This is the FIRST set of movers I dealt with that didn’t want «small talk», «cigarette breaks», «snack time»,. These guys were young clean courteous men that treated our home & belongings as if they were their own. They even wrapped & protected everything! I can’t say enough about them ! Pleasant experience all around. Look no further. I found them thru Unilocal & I hope other people do the same as they won’t be disappointed !
Ps they even said «Good luck in your new home» at the end. What great guys!

Excellent, professional movers. Booked a huge move at the last minute and they were extremely accommodating. The only problem I had was minor damage caused to an admittedly VERY heavy and cumbersome piece of furniture. To be honest, lifting that thing is so inconceivable to me that a little damage seemed inevitable. However, they could have avoided it by covering up the piece more thoroughly.
Minor damage aside, these guys are AWESOME. Reasonably priced, friendly, and efficient. I definitely recommend them.

They arrived early, moved my things swiftly, and came in with a final cost that was lower than their well-​communicated estimate. In addition to these excellent qualities, the guys are innovative. They took apart a window to hoist a box spring up through it because it wouldn’t fit through a certain staircase. Brilliant.
These guys are going to ruin the stereotypes of movers everywhere if they keep up this high quality nonsense.

Safe Guard made an otherwise annoying experience much less better — I hate moving, it usually sucks but they definitely helped.
We used them to move from the City to the suburbs.
Booking was pretty smooth.
Move day was fine, came in time, moved what needed moving and were prompt about it. None of the movers had any BO which I really appreciated. I am a big fan of deodorant users.
Everything arrived in the same number of pieces as it left our old place. No scuffs or marks anywhere no sticker shock at the end of the move.
We tipped the movers and bought them lunch after and they were very grateful.
