Meyers Movers

I had an outstanding experience with Arpin this spring. They were prompt, efficient, careful with my goods, responsible, reliable, good communicators, supportive, and friendly. I can hardly give them enough superlatives. I recommend them to everyone!

Overall the experience was great. Not a single broken item or any damage to our belongings. The movers were fast and professional. I would hire them again for future moves.

I sold my house last month. By the time it got to packing and moving I was pretty burnt out. I had received a mailer from Arpin and called them for a quote. As I mentioned, I was burnt out so I had them give me a price on packing and moving the whole house. Tom came out and took a look at the house, gave some recommendations on how to make it a little cheaper and I got a quote the next day.

You get what you pay for, so when the quote came in I got sticker shocked and amped myself up to no longer be burnt out. They give you FREE BOXES and packing material if you are using their service and they helped SO much. Even wardrobe boxes and pictures boxes. So I did all of the packing and moved most of the boxes. I reached back out and they easily gave me a new (more manageable) quote.

I decided to go ahead and book the date. Then my date had to change and they had no issues with it. Come moving day, I had a team of 3 men (Scott, John & Pierre) and 1 truck. They were 10 minutes early and did a phenomenal job. They worked hard -- at one point I heard John say to Pierre "if you are going outside, don't go empty handed"-- were SO delightful and very respectful to my beloved possessions.

They even finished before the quoted time and my rate was even less then I expected it would be. I don't plan on moving again anytime soon, but would definitely recommend them to anyone who is.

Silicon Valley movers/Arpin moved us from northern Ca to Idaho and we had an excellent experience. Upon doing research on moving companies and hearing horror stories, I knew that we had to go with Silicon Valley Movers. The saying 'you get what you pay for' is so true. Interstate moving is not cheap but we had peace of mind with our belongings making it to our new home completely and on time. Cheri and Joe were excellent to work with from a coordination perspective and the actual delivery of goods. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking at making a move.

I recently relocated my family from upstate NY to Charlotte, NC. We had contracted with a local moving company, but they were unable to move us due to a health emergency. Arpin was able to step in at the last minute and move our stuff (4 bedroom house). They picked up our stuff on time, and delivered it ahead of schedule 2 days later. The guys who loaded up the stuff and the guys who unloaded it were professional and took good care of our house and belongings. John D. (RLD), the driver, was super professional, communicated all the details effectively, and really gave us a sense of being someone we could trust with our stuff. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience and would work with Arpin again.

My experience with Arpin Van Lines was excellent. I moved during a high demand time and a pandemic with a shortage of labor. Despite these obstacles, my agent kept me informed of the delivery status. The driver was the best. He was efficient, friendly and quite professional. My possessions were well packed and arrived in good shape. No breakage, dents or scratches.

These folks are the best! I have used them three times in the last six months -- once to move things out of my house to stage it to sell, once to move my possessions from my 8-room house to a new location, and once, a month later, to put furniture in its final spot. All the men who came out were experienced, professional, courteous and kind. They worked in a focused and diligent way.

My multiple price estimates were clearly communicated and ended up be very accurate. And Brian came out to do an on-site estimate for the big move, and provided advice on how to prepare. Other companies I contacted required me to do all the work online, no human interaction, listing all furniture and number of boxes room-by-room. During the 8-hour full-house move, there was minor damage to two pieces of wood furniture. Afterwards Meyers sent out a company to repair the damage on site.

I especially appreciated that the company is built around human contact rather than technology. Special shout out to Amy, who usually answers the phone and handles scheduling. She was so helpful and kind.

We had a wonderful experience with Arpin Van Lines moving from New Jersey to Florida. Everything arrived safely and the guys who unloaded our stuff were amazing would highly recommend them!

We picked Arpin Van Lines over two other moving companies. Their service rep estimated our home and they were great at quickly answering all our questions. The day of the move the driver and three workers were busy loading and packaging all our items. The halls had paper rolled out and the walls and doors protected with mats. They cataloged everything and when we went to the weigh in we were several thousand pounds less.

That saved us on moving fees and fuel costs. The truck arrived on time in SC and when promised! The Driver who loaded us, hires two local movers to unload the truck. Nothing was damaged or missing! The move was very easy for us and Arpin did a fantastic job from start to finish. We give them 10 Stars!

I absolutely DO NOT recommend this company for moving. This was not our first move with a moving company, so we knew what to expect. But the experience with this company (Transtar out of Moorestown, NJ) and its specific #1 team(that's what the agent said) that showed up was HORRIFIC. It made our move that was supposed to be exciting to heart breaking with anger.

Our specific team came into our home like bulls in a china shop. We were CONTRACTED 3 days of packing, the team wanted to do it in 1, slightly 1 and a half days. So if you value your items you worked hard for and love and don't want them broken, damaged, or sweated(bodyfluid) on. DO NOT USE this company. They in no way will care if your items are broken or damaged.

All they are worried about it is getting into your home as fast as possible and throwing it all in the truck so they can leave. They say they will work room by room BUT ours did not!. All 4 people went all different directions, so if you didn't pack it they packed it, and what I mean by them packing is throwing items into a box and sealing it with tape so you will have no idea what's in the box until you actually open it.

Finally we were given a quote, we agreed and signed. When the truck was weighed the AGENT & Drivers bullied us to pay more because it had more weight then the AGENT quoted. The CONTRACT stated we wouldn't pay over what the Agent estimated us but if you want your items then you must pay. Total hogwash!. HORRIBLE DO NOT USE. DO NOT USE!

We hired Wm. Meyers Movers for our recent move from Chicago to the north suburbs. We couldn't have been more pleased! The process was very simple and easy. We quoted out our move with them and two other movers. Their quote came in between the other two movers, and we initially tried to hire the less expensive movers, but the other company NEVER picked up the phone or returned our messages, so we decided to go with Wm. Meyers.

Their quote wasn't that much more and we were impressed by their professionalism, follow-up and open communication. They ensured we had the proper city permits in place ahead of time so we had parking blocked off for their truck the day of our move. We ended up moving during the winter snow storm that kicked off the polar vortex at the end of January.

It was the worst day to move and they were pros! We had pre-packed most of our things so they were able to move us out of our 2nd floor, 1-bedroom condo into our house in a little over three hours. They even came prepared with shovels to helps us clear out the snow as it fell down. They came in below their initial quote, nothing was broken and the three men who moved us were courteous and efficient. We will certainly hire them again to help us move a few larger furniture pieces we left behind in our condo until it sells.

I moved from Chicago to SF and had a great experience with Meyers Movers and their affiliates. Bryan was very responsive and helpful. My move went seamless, though patience was important for this cross-country move.

We had 12+ boxes lost, serious irreparable damage, and they took no responsibility. Arpin Van Lines, West Warwick, RI, was contracted by the Army to move us as our final move after a 26+ year military career. Arpin subcontracted Thomas Transfer & Storage of Emporia, KS. The movers hired were DAY LABORERS with little to no prior experience, at their own admission.

These men had access to 100% of our belongings without a background check. They damaged furniture, shoving dressers through door frames, rather than remove the doors, ripped off a dresser leg, and dropped a Sleeper Sofa out of the back of the moving truck, causing irreparable damages. Our goods were stored in their warehouse before delivery. Once delivered there were over a dozen missing boxes. Now, during the claims process, they're denying a fair settlement and low-balling the offers.

My husband is a 100% VA disabled Veteran. They "lost" the expensive Cal King Sleep Number Mattress he needs for his bad back. I know, there's always another side to every story. Their side is they don't want to take responsibility because the damages total over $60K. We wish there was a NO STAR option for our review.

Second move in 2 years. Meyers was great! Front office & scheduling was easy and businesslike. Larry and Bob were very, very good at their jobs and easy and calming to work with (at a stressful time). Last item was one very difficult piece which required much ingenuity and strenuous effort. Very much appreciated. Reasonable price and terms too. We will use them again FOR SURE.

Crooks! This place moved our home several years ago. They over-charged and totally under estimated the truck space. Our buyers of our home were waiting to move in while these jokers took 6 hours longer than they said. When we FINALLY got to the new home they tipped over a huge media center crushing a dining room chair and damaging the table, and drywall of the new home. Wait. Don't worry.

They cover you per pound.so a 4lb chair did not cover the wall damage. By the way. We had one of the sons on the crew. And the owner (father) was just as much a jerk. They are idiots. Buyer beware.

My family and I cannot thank WM. Meyers Movers Inc. enough for their uncompromising quality of service. Despite being a Minnesota Vikings fan, three men pulled up in a Chicago Bears truck in front of my grandmother's apartment, and it was nothing but friendly and excellent customer service from the first interaction. All three movers were polite, professional and above all, understanding of the importance of my grandmother's belongings and their value.

Every item they moved over to my grandmother's new apartment has a unique story and is special in some way, shape or form to her. The move was seamless and efficient and moved without a scratch! Most importantly for my family, it was stress free on my grandmother which was so very comforting to my mother and I during this process. Thank you again to the gentlemen who made an overwhelming process STRESS FREE! I HIGHLY recommend this moving company! EXCELLENT! TRUSTWORTHY! EFFICIENT! FRIENDLY! AFFORDABLE!

If there were a negative 2 stars, I would give it - unresolved BBB complaint on file. I have moved across country 5 times in the last 10 years and always used Arpin, had wonderful service and easy, clean moves. In my last move from Chicago back to the West Coast, I chose this local Arpin agent instead of my usual one. Brian - the sales guy - does a great song and dance. However, in reality, this agent overpacked boxes with paper to add to weight, added boxes to the billed box count that were not on the inventory, threw packing trash and a used cigarette container in my boxes.

Upon arrival, I had 2 broken tables, a 2" tear in a brand new leather couch, a completely demolished lamp and a scratched dining room table - also new. On the inventory list, they stated extensive damage to new and/or undamaged furniture - some that was still wrapped from purchase! When I confronted them on the receiving end and took pictures of the new couch that was "rubbed and worn" (NOT) or the area rug that was "soiled" (perfectly clean), they refused to respond to calls, the driver refused to answer my questions and no one would take responsibility.

These moves are billed directly to my employers. Although the moves are paid for by my employers, I am always concerned about cost and making sure things are itemized properly. They billed for unpacking services that were not requested nor performed, for crating of a TV that was not crated, for street permits that were not required since they loaded in the alley.

This is the most dishonest moving agent I have ever worked with. It took me numerous calls and messages when they refused to call back to get a correct bill to my employer. I believe they feel they can get away with their practices because they are billing a 3rd party or that most movers are naive. I have never had to file a claim before nor a BBB complaint.

I filed a $4000 claim against this agent and Arpin for damages - which was modest and took in depreciation - and was paid $900. The BBB complaint is unresolved as both this agent and Arpin never directly addressed the issues in the complaint.

I have used Wm. Meyers Movers 4 times over the last 7 years and they always do a great job. They show up clean, sober and work hard. The sales person, Brian is a good guy who gives a pretty good estimate of what the charges will be. One of the movers, John, I've had twice now. He noticed a broken leg on one of my dressers and immediately gathered wood glue, screws and a clamp from his personal tool box and fixed it like new.

The only reason I am deducting a star is because I specifically brought all 3 movers into my house and showed them the valuable items that were of concern and needed special attention. One of the items broke. Also, they took my wife's jewelry box and flipped it upside down. There were rings and earrings all over and it was very time consuming to arrange again. One of the movers was there on his first day, so maybe he didn't understand my instructions. Overall: Wm. Meyers Movers does a good job for a fair price.

I found Meyers on the Chicago Consumer Checkbook website and am very pleased I used them for my move from Oak Park to a storage unit in Elgin. They are by far the best moving company I have used.

For starters, because the company is based in Itasca I feel the need to mention that the company will do moves here in Chicago. My husband and I used Meyer's movers based on recommendations from some family members. Our move wasn't a long haul, in fact we only moved 4 miles. The sales consultant who did our in person estimate was very personable, honest and more than willing to answer any questions. I'd sum up the movers (at least the 3 that we met) as being efficient, professional and friendly.

We had Meyers pack for us and take care of the actual moving. The guys came out to pack on a Thursday and came back to move us on a Saturday. I really only have 1 complaint. 1 of the packers seemed to overlook some of our belongings. We found items left in a small corner cabinet and in the drawer beneath the oven. Upon returning to the old apartment today I found a few more small items.

There was only 1 casualty, a torchiere lamp. Apparently those types of lamps often break during a move (so we were told) due to design. The lamp wasn't that expensive, so we won't even bother to file a claim for it. 1 last thing, Meyers Movers is not cheap, so if you're looking for a bargain try someone else.
