JK uses a virtual estimate to provide a quote. That's a trick! It's common that the price they quote is a lot lower than what you WILL HAVE to pay to get your stuff. The process was easy, but can say the estimate we received to move across the country was $5,000 higher than 2 large PODs to start. In the end, they ended up adding almost $8,000...b/c they quoted the incorrect weight to start, as well as charging for a smaller truck that we never requested. The moving company that did the physical part, wasn't JK, and they were hard, polite, and great workers! I reached out and begged JK to help with the major increase (added 65% more to the total...and that was NOT budgeted in whatsoever! After numerous requests for ANY $ help, we were told simply "No." I worked with the physical moving company and they offered to help with some of the expenses...JK, Nope, Nadda, & basically told me TOO D*** BAD! DON'T USE THEM FOR ANY QUOTES!

Terrible. Many missing cartons and damage to items that mover refused to pay for

I moved from 1 house to another and everything went extremely well. The representative contacted within an hour of submitting a quote request on-line. The process for receiving a quote was impressive, using an app to video and narrate an inventory of everything that needed to be moved. A very detailed quote was emailed within a day with pictures of everything I included in the video. The movers arrived at the beginning of the time window and from there it was very stress free. The movers worked tirelessly, and took great detail to wrap and protect all furniture. After unpacking most all of the fragile items, everything was intact with nothing broken. I have recommended JK Moving to several friends and family and would definitely use them again!

Luis and Jorge were great and very experienced. They had to pack and load in the rain for 2 days. Moving truck arrived in GA as scheduled. Pleased that precious items arrived in perfect condition. Very minimal damage to some small items. (ie plastic storage container, clothes steamer, kitchen bowl)

Extremely well, thorough estimate, on time packing and loading, not a scratch on anything, careful customer follow up. Haved moved many times over the years, probably tied for number 1 in terms of overall quality and professionalism

First off I paid over $15k for a move from VA to PA, so I believed that my move was important to me and should have been important to them as well. Before the move things went well although I had to contact them to obtain verification of packing, loading and delivery dates. No one ever contacted us to provide updates. The packing team turned out to be atrocious as things were packed so tight in boxes that multiple item (glasses, lamps, glass table, knick-kancks) were broken. Boxes were mis-labeled as well. The movers loaded the truck fine but upon delivery they could not wait to get to their next job later in the day. Boxes were left where we asked them not to leave them, if we asked someone to put a box in a room they rolled their eyes or huffed at us. They complained that they needed to get our move done. For the price I paid their first concern should have been to get my boxes into the house and I was not even asking for them to unpack anything. Also, they promised they would come pick up all of the boxes after our move. All we had to do is break them down and call for a pickup. We have broken down all the boxes but JK has not responded to our requests for a pickup. Overall, great when they want your business but very disappointing once they have you locked in.

A crew of four did the packing a day ahead of the move. Packed all electronics and books, plus many other items. Did a very good job. The movers arrived on time on both ends of the 900+ mile move. All items accounted for. I was impressed by the driver's ability to safely maneuver the van into my narrow street and under the low tree branch and back it out again.

Excellent experience. Interviewed four companies at my house. I was nervous about hiring a mover because of a past bad move, but moving consultant Christopher Sousa was patient and reassuring, plus straightforward in answering all my questions, as was moving coordinator Matthew Bogert. One day before the move I asked if we could add a stop at a friend's house to pick up a heavy piece of furniture I was buying from her. This was no problem at all; I just paid a bit more because of the added time. We also stopped at a donation center to drop off a piece of heavy furniture. The job took the amount of time that Christopher estimated--8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No breaks or damage and nothing missing. My excellent crews were Thomas Carroll, Clifton and Lillian for partial packing, and for moving, Eli Hernandez, Tainier, Richard and Francisco. The total bill was $700 less than the estimate.

Excellent. Office pre-consultation, estimates, information and arrangements excellent. Crew of George and Author were great as was their helper Shawn. Very professional, on time, polite friendly, efficient and competent. They took the time to carefully consider best way to handle, pad and load each item. Had as much concern for our belongings as we would and took better care then we could being more knowledgeable on how and capable/able to move particularly large, heavy awkward pieces. No damage and without any problems despite some pieces had to be dissembled and re-assembled; Move was complicated by multiple drop off locations and long narrow street and drive and rain. They pleasantly took it all in stride. Pricing was more than fair considering the intrastate distance involved, two days needed and more than simple point to point.

Move went well, however the biggest issue was with the estimate versus the final cost. After the sales person walked my home he presented me with an estimate and I was told that was the highest it would be. Final cost would be that or lower. The final cost was actually over $800 more. Therefore, be careful if you think about using JK, if price matters to you. I think they underquote to get the business. Their service good and the moving team was hardworking and did a good job. So if price doesn't matter - go with them.
