Around Town & Devonte was a life saver for me. I moved a 2 bedroom apartment on the 4th floor to a 2 bedroom basement apartment in a house.
I had originally booked another mover to move my girlfriend and her mom, but was unhappy with the contract, when I asked the company to revise it and resend it, they never did, nor did they take or return any of my numerous calls. I happened to come across Around Town on homestars and called them 2 days before they had to move! I spoke to Devonte personally and explained my story of how the original movers bailed on me. He immediately said he would take the job and being able to read me well he even said "you sound like a nice guy so I'll help you out and do your move". I was relieved that he was able to fit me in on short notice. He quoted me a reduced rate of $60/hr plus 1 hr for travel time - no additional or hidden costs. And true to his word there were no additional or hidden costs.
Moving day came and Devonte called to inform me that the move right before our move had delayed him as the client had nothing packed properly. Lesson to all - please help out your movers and your wallet by having all your stuff properly boxed and labelled and setup so that the movers can just pick it up, load and go. I was glad that he called me - shows alot of professionalism.
They showed up and did exactly what Devonte had explained over the phone. They assessed the pick up location and I did not have to sign any contract or pay any deposit before they lifted a single box. They loaded the boxes and furniture with alot of care and wrapped the items that needed to be wrapped in moving blankets. The delivery at the new location was a breeze and unloaded very quickly. At the end of the move there were no major damages to any of my stuff or broken glass. Which I'm very grateful for. I also did not have to sign or pay any additional fees for them to unload.
As a testament to their high quality/excellent pricing and efficiency we hired them on the spot for the very next day to help us move some additional boxes that did not make it in the first move. They came the next day on time and did exactly what they said they would do. Again with no additional or hidden fees.
Honestly speaking Around Town is the best moving company I've used. And I've used a few in the past. They are reliable, honest and trustworthy. There are no deposits, no additional or hidden costs. Just a solid company with great people behind it.
