Positive Reviews

“Great crews that absolutely push themselves. Great value for the $$$ and take great pride in their work. As a real estate broker, I recommend Mark the Mover.” – JoeRuggles

“Also, there were no hidden fees. What they quoted is what they charged. The guys didn’t waste time, were friendly and I would use them again. ” – jman76

Negative Reviews
“If you value your expensive furniture, find someone else to move it.” – TKennesaw

“Mark the Mover was the worst moving experience I have ever had. The movers were slow and took an extra hour in moving a one bedroom apt. Maybe if they did not take 20min bathroom breaks each, they would have been done in the 2 hours I was quoted.”  – leekel

“A one bedroom condo move two blocks down the street quoted at 3-4 hours took 8.5 hours! At $145 per hour for a 3 man crew, that came as a real shock at the end of the day.” – Unit1704

Planning a move to Altlanta can be a stressful event and if you are using an Atlanta mover, it can be difficult to trust someone else with your most treasured possessions.  But if you are well prepared, you know what to expect and have open communication with your mover, your move will be a pleasant experience.

Here is a quick checklist for you to follow to ensure that your Atlanta move goes as smoothly as possible.

• In order to get the best cost estimate for your move, it may be necessary for the Atlanta moving company to visit you and have a look at what you are planning to move.  This is usually the best way to get a super accurate cost estimate.

• Always discuss how your items will be packaged, protected and handled.  Make sure you are comfortable with how large items like furniture will be protected as well as how smaller, fragile belongings will be handled.  Be sure that all of your boxes that contain delicate or breakable items are clearly marked.

• Be sure to find out from your mover if there are items that the company will not move.  You don’t need any surprises on the day of the move.

• Always be available to your moving company before, during and after the move.  You should always be willing to answer any questions your mover may have as well as be present on moving day to authorize any changes.  You should always have your movers information with you in case you need to contact them.

• If there are any items that you need to be picked up or dropped off at a different location, advise your Atlanta movers up front.  There is normally an extra cost for this service.

These are just a few helpful tips to help you and your Atlanta mover plan a successful relocation.  Moving doesn’t have to be stressful if you are well prepared and organized.  Most movers are service professionals and a reputable company will take great pride in helping you move with as little stress as possible.
