The team that Derek put together at AR Moving was outstanding! Having moved numerous times during my time in the military, I have a lot of experiences to draw from and compare. AR Moving provided one of the best moving experiences I have had. His team showed up on time and got right to work. They were easy to work with, and they didnt hesitate to ask questions to ensure you were getting what you needed from your move. One thing that was different from all of my other moves is that there wasnt an inventory matching numbers to boxes/parts. I didnt know how this would work regarding accountability of boxes and items, but it was a non-event. Derek was at the delivery and unloading of my goods, and he ensured every question was answered and all items were accounted for. Finally, the business model Derek has implemented makes his services far more affordable than all of the other movers I contacted. I saved a significant amount of money by going with AR Moving, but I didnt sacrifice efficiency, quality, or safety. I am very satisfied with the value I received. I have already contacted AR Moving for another move for my son.

What a great experience we had with AR Moving Company! I received excellent communication skills from Derek, who booked us for our move.We were worried about moving since we moved to a third floor level apartment and werent sure how movers would be able to handle the narrow staircase with some of our heavy bigger items like fridge, washer & dryer, and couch.Rick & Armando were our movers and lemme tell you, they were AMAZING! They arrived right on time to our house and got to work right away. They were super careful & QUICK, which we really appreciated. They were such nice guys and handled all of our items with care. They even finished the job faster than the estimated time and were super personable guys. I also really appreciated that they asked where to set everything down and listened exactly to what we wanted!I highly recommend AR Moving Company! They will work efficiently and carefully. And big shoutout to Rick & Armandoyou made our move smooth and quick. Thank you so much!!!

We used this company several times,we believe the quality and experience of the some of the new employees is not good.They do not take care of your furniture, they dented my refrigerator which was 2 months old, broke my fans, scratched other items. They worked slow so the hourly rate would add up. They came late both days. The reason it toke 2 days was the slow movement. Then they loaded my items and told us it was to late to deliver it at the new home.We had to rent a hotel.They had loaded our deep freezer on the truck so our food was defrosting.They came to move me with a truck that was too small and it toke 2 hours for the guy to go get another truck. Then at then end the owner never told me what the total cost would be. Then he want thousands more.I was not informed. Nice guy but not a good mover, not organized, not qualified to pack a truck without damage.They work really slow to add up costs. Then owner tells you he will fix items but you will not here from him again..lots of stress.

Im very sorry to write a one star review for this company. I have never done this before but in my opinion, the damage was too great to ignore. This company took on our moving job. We were unfortunately overseas and I did a walk through with the owner on video chat. He was in my property but I was overseas. At that time, he told me he would not be at the move, and I did feel nervous. He assured me that he would communicate thoroughly with his crew and his crew were good he said. I did say if they have any questions to check with me at any time. I also told him I wanted a list with items and boxes numbered. He told me his men couldnt do this that. So I told him Id have an assistant do that then. So the day came.The day of the move was crazy, I attempted to call the owner from my location in Europe twice. I hired two part time assistants to help me label the boxes for me for a list. They answered the phone once and said it was crazy and chaotic. I told them to tell the moving men i was trying to get a hold of their boss....he later told me he got that message but never called me back. Instead of calling me to ask questions, the moving men tried to ask the people I hired to label the boxes but they didnt know exactly what to do with my possessions, of course. So it was really chaotic as my assistant later told me. My assistant only answered one phone call. I said tell the men, I am trying to get a hold of their boss. I heard him say this to one of the workers and he they told him.At the end of the day the owner finally called back, all our stuff was not fitting in the truck so two trips had to be made,( surprise,) and more money was now needed than originally estimated. The owner discussed donating some of our items, in the end three beds with bed frames and a single bed frame was donated. In all the confusion. it seemed as if at least one nice table from West Elm was donated too without my approval. I wrote it off as partially a miscommunication - we were in Europe kind of thing and we were not thereSo, fast forward, we are moving back to the USA, first we go to our storage with a new moving company and a lot of our furniture is broken, 1) beveled glass from antique dresser broken 2). Three lamp shades were stuffed together to get in to one box ruining all of them. 3) Sadly, one wood antique vanity in pieces....the new moving company says it looked like they stacked lots of heavy boxes on it 4) An antique chair back broken, 5) another chair leg broken, 6) a table leg broken, 7) an edge of a file cabinet broken. The furniture was lacking furniture blankets for protection, and it just looked like a total rush job .All together 10 things broken, because the lamp shades were three stuffed in one box!I contacted the owner, Derek, I sent photos of the damaged furniture and also a list from the second moving company, that we used to relocate to our new home. The list detailed the damaged items that were found in storage. The owner did not respond after that.
