John Moving Company

too bad the option for 0 stars is not available… So I called and set up an appt for 7am. The movers were 1.5 hrs late with no call. When i called for an ETA the guy who answered sounded as if he was sleep and was rude. When the movers arrived, one spent about 20 mins in my restroom, on my dime. The move took about 5 hours total. the guys moved fairly quickly but on a few occasions I had to address them sitting down on the truck. I realize it’s a labor intensive job but I am not credited for any time they sit on their butts. They were very reckless and broke a few things, and only offered a $ 5 discount. After unpacking I discovered more broken items. I will NEVER use their service again.

Charged me way more than agreed upon. threw stuff all around… very rude… in short,
TERRIBLE SERVICE, beware of these guys…

I scheduled weeks in advance & today, the day of my move, they are not here. I called 10 minutes before my appt & was told they were going to be 4 hours late. When I complained, he said they will be 2 hrs late. Moving from one apartment to another takes coordinating elevator times at both residences and timely movers are crucial. I called many times & nobody answered. Finally, I got a call that they were on their way. Three guys showed up and finished moving me in two hours. I only requested two movers but I guess to make up for their tardiness, they sent an additional guy. I’d think twice before hiring them again.

The service I recieved from John’s Moving… moved ME to write my first ever Unilocal review. When my doorbell rang, I was greeted with a good olé” fashiioned firm handshake, a direct gaze and the widest happiest smile from John himself! He and his team were efficient, hard working and moved quickly, but definatelt took detailed care of my furniture and my walls. They navigated a complicated staircase with ease that only experts know how to do. They were a blessing on me, and they will be on YOU too.

Used these guys for my move. They were very prompt and professional. Very reasonably priced and got the job done fast! Would highly recommend them.

I work in customer service and rarely am I impressed with other companies. But these movers are outstanding! I tend to move often and after my normal moving company fell through I took a chance on these guys and they came through at the last minute! So efficient md thorough they handled the job with ease. When I move back to the area, Theres no doubt who I’m moving with. Simply Exceptional.

I sent a web form requesting a call back and instead I got an email that seemed very unprofessional with misspelled words and punctuation a few hours later, with just a rate, no introduction, nothing. He gave me a rate without knowing any details. The rate was cheap and I asked to setup a consult. He arranged an appointment with me not knowing anything about where I live or reading the address as properly entered since he has to ask me about it.
I rush home from work to meet with him at our scheduled time and about 15 minutes prior I get an email, again with bad grammar saying that he is still in New York and can’t make the appointment and asked if I can meet later. When I asked when, he quoted a time in the evening about 3 – 4 hours after our appointment time. I said no and he begged for another appointment. I said no.
Here are some tidbits. Very unprofessional writing.
Is 1pm work for you? (day before)
Am sorry I can’t make it at 1pm, I was coming from NY but am stock in traffic. (day after)
Are you goin to be home later?
Am sorry .Can we reschedule for tomorrow please?
Again am sorry.
Also… (yes this is on email)
Me: I live: city name:.
Him: :states half of the city name:?
Me: No, :city name:
My friend told me she loved using this company but the unprofessional nature is a kicker for me. If he doesn’t have the courtesy to read an address correctly, call or inform of a cancellation more than 15 minutes out then I’m wasting time here.

Do not use these guys!!! They gave me
a price quote and promised to be at my house at 10:00am. They never Showed up and Would not respond to my calls and emails. They completely left me high and dry with a moving truck that I rented and a house full of furniture but no movers. PLEASE never use these guys. They completely wrecked my move and my entire weekend!!!

John’s guys did everything I asked them to. We had a big move, and they finished the job in 8 hours and it was hard work and a hot day. He stuck to his word and charged me what he quoted me. Almost everything was taken good care of… he doesnt know this but my plasma tv got cracked in the process of the move… being a small company there is no way I figured he would be able to pay me back.

This company assisted me with a move on September 2, 2011. I was very generous with them; fed them a big lunch, got them cash when they asked, and tipped them all quite well. They did not actually finish the job; one of the rooms in the house was not done, nor were any of the bathrooms packed. But my real beef was in the way one certain issue was handled.
In the process of moving, they broke my microwave oven. The owner said he would either file an insurance claim or just send me a check. I emailed him with a replacement link and cost and he said he would send me a check. That was back in September. I have called and written him over a dozen times; first he claimed he sent me a money order, then he said he was out of the country, then he said he sent me a check. It is now almost December and I have still not received anything. I don’t believe he has any intention of reimbursing me.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
