I recently relocated from another state and used a different moving company and this was my second attempt at using a moving company. OUTSTANDING is the one word to sum up my service with Zippy Shell! The two movers arrived on time and I received a call 30 mins prior just as the manager explained when I booked my move. I had an extra pick up location in my move and the extra step was incorporated with no added /hidden charges. The movers were polite, professional, and took care to wrap my items and pack without any damages. They were fast, efficient, and placed every item wherever I asked them to once at the drop location. They put my bed back together with no problem. I will definitely use Zippy Shell again and HIGHLY recommend contacting them for any type of move!! EXCELLENT SERVICE and VERY affordable Rates!!

Hi Latoya - Congratulations on being my FIRST Thumbtack customer! Getting business on Thumbtack without a history of reviews is a difficult thing to do so I really appreciate that you took a chance with my company. It was my pleasure to provide excellent service for your move. Best of luck to you! Bill

Can't say enough positive things about our experience with Zippy Shell! We used this company for a local move in Ashburn to move items from a storage unit to a single family home. The four gentlemen that made up our crew were respectful, responsive, professional, and reliable! We just relocated to the area and found Zippy Shell based on their reviews & were not disappointed. We are keeping many boxes in storage which required the crew to sort through the storage unit to get to the needed furniture & boxes to be moved while returning the unneeded boxes back to the storage unit. The guys worked diligently without complaint and really helped reorganize the unit more efficiently. We were most impressed with the level of care and attention given to safely wrapping each piece and they even took it upon themselves to safely dismantle and reassemble a jewelry armoire that a prior company had simply moved over a long distance move as is. Also most impressed with the personal attention and exceptional customer service provided by Bill Shannon the owner which in today's day and time is a rare entity. Most definitely recommend Zippy Shell!

Zippy Shell handled our move from Virginia to Massachusetts in a thoroughly professional and efficient manner. They brought their 15 foot container to our home, loaded our furniture, held it in their air conditioned facility until we were ready to move, loaded more furniture after sale, and then delivered the goods to our new home in Massachusetts on schedule. The personnel used, Carlos and a supportive cast, were extremely friendly, business-like, and trust-worthy. We highly recommend Zippy Shell. Great job guys!

I was 100% satisfied with Bill and his crew. They moved my household belongs from a storage unit into my home about 100 miles away at a price that was in the ballpark of the other offers I received online. The storage facility had a set of my keys freeing me up to wait for the movers at my home. The storage facility manager reported that the crew was very professional and polite. I can say that they were the same when they arrived at my home. They were efficient and appreciated that I called out rooms in the house in which each item should be placed. I have no complaints at all for Bill and his crew and would recommend them to anyone.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is to speak with the customer and understand their job. We ask how many rooms of furniture they are moving, the locations we're moving from and to, and whether there are stairs or elevators at each location. We also ask if there is anything heavy, bulky, or awkward that needs to be moved. Once we understand the scope of the move, we give the customer the option of a fixed price or an hourly rate for the move.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've been running a PODS storage business for the last 7 years. As part of that business, we offer loading and unloading services to our customers. The local point-to-point moves are a natural extension of that business.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We've worked with over 2000 customers in the last 7 years - everything from small efficiency style apartments to 5 bedroom homes. Nothing is too small or big for us to handle.
