A & B Movers

I've now used this company at least four times. Every single time they outperform themselves. I have never had a bad experience. Everyone I've spoken to in the office has been helpful and friendly. The moving crews are extremely efficient, careful, and polite. They were even able to accommodate a last minute move with a few days' notice.

Most recently, my move start time had to be slightly pushed back due to scheduling issues, and without any prompting, the company offered a discount and also included an additional mover at no cost to make up for it. The office was in prompt communication with me about the updated start time as well. As I said in my previous review, the negative reviews I've seen on here are completely inconsistent with my experiences with the company. As long as I remain in this area, I will continue to use American Budget and recommend you do as well.

I hired them to move from a townhouse to a SFH. Jose and his team arrived on time and they started quickly. We had two temurpedic mattresses and an upright piano, among other heavy can imagine for moving. The team tried their best to protect our furniture and the property. Their crew members were friendly and courteous. They were able to dissemble and reassemble our Tempurpedic power foundation. There were just a very few damages to the wall, but minor, and acceptable. We had a very good experience with this moving company! I recommend them without reservation!

Very efficient and prompt. They made moving so much easier even at the last minute, less stress.

American Budget Moving was super to work with! This is our 2nd time using them. They are prompt, friendly, and do a great job in a timely manner. Daniel and David are hard workers!

We just used their services and are very pleased. Prices were reasonable as movers in this area are super expensive. They arrived at the time scheduled and with the proper equipment. But Daniel, Antonio, Emmanuel, and Marcus were simply awesome! Handled our stuff with care and were quick. Would definitely use them again and recommend them. Thank you guys!

I can't say enough about how impressed I am with the move done by the team at ABM. Today they moved me (and all of my large amounts of stuff) over to my new apartment. Not only is my apartment on the 4th floor, my apartment is also a two story unit which added to the amount of stairs they climbed. The three men who assisted were polite, nice, respectful and hard working.

They carried up loads of 2-3 boxes at a time and carried my furniture like it was nothing. Got it done in under 2 hours with only a few seconds to spare (note: myself and my two friends assisted with carrying items to speed up the move, but this was not required by the team). Something else that made my move successful was requesting the 3 movers and larger truck.

I have a ton of stuff so having the extra guy and truck space was essential even though I was moving out of a one bedroom. Long story short: I highly recommend using this company for your next move. Reach out to Cris the manager and she will be able to assist with anything you need and make sure you are all set for your move day. She was great!

We just moved on Friday with four movers and a 26ft truck. The movers were incredibly hard working, they were very careful, they worked quickly and were super efficient! This was my third time moving using this company, and I highly recommend! They wrap everything securely and carefully, but do it lightning fast, and are super strong. Very grateful for things going so smoothly, as I have a lot of delicate antique furniture and it went very well.

The prices seemed to be cheaper and pretty reasonable at first, but in the end turned out to be the same about of money we would have paid with most other moving companies due to the number of hours it took them to do the work. We had a medium truck with three guys as was recommended and it took us somewhere around 4 or 5 extra hours to complete the move (on top of the min two hour upfront). Obviously, since the crew is paid hourly they tried to stretch it out as long as possible.

All of that is fine and dandy and is it the nature of the business. We are not upset by that. They did show up on time and were polite. They also took alleged half our lunch break that lasted more like 50 minutes. No difference for us as the break wasn't supposed to be included in the price. There were a couple of drawbacks with this crew nonetheless.

Let me tell y'all. I take my sleep seriously. Therefore, I have invested in a 3,000$ tempur-pedic mattress. It was my baby, my heart and soul. The movers BENT MY CHILD IN TWO and have ruined it by doing so. Now the mattress is caved in and is impossible to sleep on without crazy back pain. I am not sure what mover school they went to, but I insist on mover class 101 to include the lesson DO NOT MESS with the mattress. Jesus Christ take the wheel.

I am heartbroken. To make matters worse. One of the members of the crew has asked for my number (and I assure you it wasn't for future reference or any other innocent reason), the dude was hitting on me with my husband in the other room. Um, hello, you are at work, child. Don't shit where you eat. It might come back and bite you in the ass. Would I Hire them again? I am not sure, I would say no. There are too many other options out there.

Daniel & David are awesome, I had the move late Oct, they came on time and get everything done within 3hrs. They wrapped the my furniture with plastic wrap throughly, covered TV with blanket before wrapping it. Non-stop moved all our stuffs to different locations in our new place (3-stair townhouse). I'm truly satisfied with their move service, and not to mention the very reasonable price, even my realtor said, "you got really a good deal!"

See all the Negative Reviewers Below. Absolutely worst company ever, PLEASE STAY AWAY! Please, please review all the reviews to save yourself a headache. The girl who answers the phone is the most unprofessional individual I ever dealt with. She attempted to book my move for next Saturday between the hours 12-4pm and then told me never mind. She proceeded to tell me there are other moving companies out there and that her guys will be too tired to do my move. I'm still speechless.

I used this company a total of three times for my recent move. Before the final move I would have rated them 4 starts. The crew of 5 guys was an hour late showing up. The were asked to leave the old house and drive to the new one which should have taken 12 minutes but somehow took 45. They left the roof deck door wide open which I didn't catch until two days later (because I'm no longer living there.) I was being very generous and offered to buy them coffee and lunch.

They chose to take a 30 minute lunch break (which I never approved of), eating the lunch I bought them in the back of their truck but still CHARGED me for those 30 minutes. The driver was very wishy washy about how much time the move would take, he said max 2 more hours but charged me for an extra 3.5. The cost was outrageous for the service I received.

I even had to take off the plastic to some furniture and my grill because they forgot/ didn't do it. When I called the company to report these issues, there was "nothing they could do now." Don't hire these people.

Be incredibly careful with what you sign and what you agree to. My amount paid seemed high, called and requested a copy of the receipt- never got one. So finally when the things from moving where a bit more settled, I called and said I had found my invoice- Their customer service is just someone telling you that you requested things you didn't, explaining higher charges that you didn't authorize.

I wanted an account credit to move more things because I felt like that was fair for everyone- after their lack of respect for my time and finances will never recommend this company to anyone.

In around 3 hours these guys had everything moved from one apartment to the next. Victor was super nice and the crew took good care of our stuff. Will be using these guys again for our next move.

Movers were very dishonest and tried to steal my items. I had to go into the truck myself several times to make sure they took everything out. They hid stuff under blankets and behind other boxes and then got upset when I went inside the truck to check. I was in a rush but if I had more time, I would have called the police.

If I could give no stars I would. Multiple pieces damaged. Then the owner called at midnight saying he was bringing the police because I did not pay. Bank had recently sent new debit card due to fraud so card on record was incorrect. A simple mistake blown way out of proportion. Crew chief was not at all understanding when I pointed out the damage and suggested we find another company to finish our move. Stay far, far away.

We hired a two man team plus truck, and were extremely happy with the service we received. We had Daniel and Selvin, who were wonderful; very efficient, worked hard, and quite friendly. They were able to get our one bedroom apartment loaded into the truck and unloaded in what seemed like record time, with nothing damaged and no issues whatsoever. They also provided some shrink-wrapping material and covers for our TVs.

As for price - American Budget Moving is amazingly reasonable. I got estimates from a number of local moving companies for our move from Arlington to Charlottesville, VA, and American Budget Moving ended up being less than 1/3rd the price of most of their competitors - with tip included! Keep in mind, of course, that your price will be variable depending on the size of your home and the distance of your move, since they charge on an hourly basis. I cannot speak highly enough of this business, will absolutely use them again for moves in the VA area.

Two men were polite. My gripe is with management. I was promised 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. then an update mid-afternoon saying it would be 4:00 p.m. Truck arrived at 5:30 p.m. In the interim no one would answer the phone. No one would return my voicemails. I was left in the dark not knowing if anyone would actually show up. I was beginning to feel that no one would ever come.

Finally got a call from the driver at 5:10 p.m. announcing 20 minute arrival. The two men were polite and helpful but the customer service from the office / management was nonexistent. I told the crew of my dissatisfaction even as I gave them a tip. They hinted that this was business as normal. Ended up missing my nephew's birthday dinner. Extremely dissatisfied.

I used American Budget Moving company back in February to move. They gave me a time span of when they'll show up, and kept me updated along the way. The movers were quick and efficient. They helped me move out of my townhouse into an apartment on the second floor in less than 2 hours! I was very impressed. The move only required 2 men and 1 truck for 2 hours, which came out to about $235 ($117 service fee + $59/hr).

It looks, however, like their pricing may have gone up. It now costs $295 for that same service. They keep your credit card on file when you make an appointment and charge $100 in the event of a cancellation. Some negatives: -They only accept cash payments -The receptionist on the phone was rude when I called to inquire about pricing -The movers can be careless when walking through your house so you may find yourself cleaning up after their footsteps

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.
