The team was great. They were speedy and performed all of the moving tasks we requested with an eye to making us as comfortable as possible in our new home.

We are very pleased we used Bookstore. Josh and Deones were very professional and excellent at their jobs. They were fast while being careful with our furniture. We really appreciated their can-do attitude (particularly when we told them they'd have to carry the fridge down steps into our basement). I would definitely use Bookstore again.

Fantastic total experience - from our first contact with their office to the moving team. On time arrival, quick & efficient service provided by Patrick, Brandon, Reynaldo, Cooper & Desmond. Moving team was polite, tidy and focused. They put us at ease from the first moment they arrived; we saw our furniture and possessions being handled with care & precision. We used Bookstore Movers to move 95% of our household into storage during a major refresh of our home. The office took in stride a delay due to a family emergency & a last minute notification that I'd underestimated the box count by 50%! Definitely will use this company again when we're ready to bring our things home.

I have used Bookstore Movers twice now. Their booking form has a section where you add all of your furniture and approximately how many boxes you think you will have. This helps them determine which truck and how many movers is best for your job. The office staff is very responsive to questions and follows up closer to the move day with the names of the movers and contact information for the crew chief. I paid for 5 movers with a 26' truck. On the day of, the movers showed up on time and worked quickly and efficiently. They brought blankets and tape to wrap furniture to further protect my possessions. They even wrapped my queen-sized mattress which was already in a protector bag. I would definitely use Bookstore Movers again.

You wrote a review for Bookstore Movers A moment ago 5.0 star rating 3/9/2018 I just used Bookstore Movers to pack my condo that I've lived in for 21 years so you can imagine it was a big job! The team was prompt, professional and completely efficient. Marcus and the team were so careful with my things and I feel like the entire team truly cared about the task at hand. I would use them again in a heart beat and they came highly recommended. The recommendation lived up to the experience. I priced out my move with other companies and Bookstore was definitely the best value for sure. Always great when your expectations are exceeded!

It was a truck with 2 guys. There was a heck of a lot to move. They moved from my house and there was also a storage unit that my brother had. The rate was absolutely fair. I would hire them again.

Bookstore Movers is great. They were fast, friendly, professional and careful both times we used them, several years apart. No damage to any of our boxes or furniture, and nothing lost. Pricing was clear and upfront. I can't imagine using anyone else as long as we're in DC.

Wow. Amazing experience. The team (Jason, Sean, Wayne, Will and Ulrich) were efficient and speedy. Everyone had a role and all worked beautifully together. They cleared my apartment in 1 hour. All furniture was wrapped and well taken care of. Sean took special care with glass drawer pulls and art. In the new place, they set me all up perfectly, even taking care to help with my cable/modem situation. Having professional movers is absolutely the way to go and I would never use anyone other than Bookstore Movers. And, coordinating this with the office was some of the most responsive and efficient exchanges I've ever had. They are fully on top of their game.

Such a super job. The guys were fast, efficient and careful. Everything went smoothly. There are a ton of stairs at our new place, and they had a great hand-off system so that nobody had to climb too many at a time.

Bookstore staff arrived on time, moved our furnishings into storage, and completed the job in the time and at the price estimated. They were not the cheapest bid we received, but the quality of their work was well worth the additional cost. As we were downsizing from a three-bedroom house to a storage unit for a two-bedroom apartment, we could have used a bit more help in estimating the appropriate size of a storage unit before the move, but we were more than satisfied with their work. The crew was great.

We moved from a rented condo on the 9th floor to a newly purchased unit on the 14th floor of the same building which we had just rehabilitated. The Bookstore team arrived RIGHT on time (actually, about a half hour early), and set to work with excellent speed and even better care for our things and our newly painted walls. Efficient, polite, careful, gentle with fragile stuff. We couldn't have asked for better, and the price was so low it made us uncomfortable. A steal, actually: these guys deserve substantially more than they charge.. Perfect in every way!

Very smooth and efficient. The movers were professional and understood the time constraints (elevator) required for a move into assisted living.

This was for a different deceased relative.  Gee, that woman owned a lot of books.  He purchased a small number of books; he went through my relative's book collection, identified books that he believed had value, offered to purchase those books, and then all the remaining books in his estimation did not have any significant value.  However, places such as that sell them in bulk and then they're used for different purposes, the books, so he paid a very, very nominal fee for the remaining books.  To me, the benefit was that I had literally hundreds of books that did not seem to be of any incredible value, get out of my deceased relative's house; because there were hundreds of books.  I would describe them as a good service provider to contact if you have a large number of books that you are trying to dispose of.

They offered more than I asked for originally but I did need it. When I got there, I had a mirror on the wall. I didn't know how to get it down. I was just going to leave it in the house. They said, do you want to take this? I said, yes. They took it down, packed it up and no questions asked. They wrapped everything and wrapped all the furniture. They're just wonderful. If I ever have to go through the agony of moving again, I will use them.

The team of three did very well packing everything to prevent damage. There were a lot of stairs, but they were pretty quick about everything. Certain pieces of furniture could have been prepared better and faster, but for the most part they were diligent about it. They also were very friendly and respectful of my belongings. I cannot express enough how impressive it was how they fit everything in my truck. There were a ton of things that definitely would not have fit if it was not done professionally. Also, nothing broke on the 1200 mile trip--incredible! The scheduling department is also extremely thorough and helpful--detailed emails and near-instant communication.

It went very well and took far less than the two hours minimum. But Brad, Chris and Reynaldo were excellent and worth the cots. Funny thing is, had another moving company (Quality Services M___) not kept me waiting all day last Thursday and never arrived. After I called, they then  told me that they were not going to arrive that day and because of he holidays they did not know when they would be able to make my move, I quickly contacted Angie's List and received info on three local movers: Bookstore Movers of Washington, DC had the best price and could make the move the earliest.  Thanks you, other moving company for not doing the job you had promised..

Wish I could give this team 10 stars -- they make moving fun! (can't believe I just said that, but they do!) Worked with Jack and his team and they were polite, efficient, capable and delightful! They had me moved out of a 700 sq ft apartment in 1 hour and 12 minutes. We got to my new location and they had me moved into my new place in under an hour -- as a result, they came in under the estimate. Can't get much better than that -- nothing broken, didn't pay as much as I thought I would have to and I got to work with a delightful team. Other Bookstore teams were in my building that same week and I noticed the same level of courtesy and friendliness. This team took better care of my furniture than I did, they would not let me lift a finger and they were a blast to work with. I've already recommended them to several of my friends and I will definitely use them in the future. So grateful to the bookstore crew!
