Communication and service were outstanding. We contacted Tony on short notice and asked for an out of state move the week between Christmas and New Year's. Tony was able to move things around and accommodate our schedule. Very professional and safe move. When we arrived at our destination, bad weather was in the forecast, so Tony expedited the move in, working into the evening, to finish it before the snow arrived. All in all, a very positive experience, and would strongly recommend.

Tony and the team did a phenomenal job with our move. It couldn't have been easy. We had plenty of stuff, some tricky angles, and our move day turned out to be one of the coldest of that winter. Nevertheless, the team was careful and contentious, moving quickly, but never at the expense of our things, floors, or fresh paint. I appreciated having a partner in this process.; a team that brought their ideas to set us up to unpack and enjoy the new space. J P Barlow made the process as easy as possible, and helped to make our house a home. Thank you.

Tony was professional and went above and beyond to help me. He had great communication and was willing to do last minute scheduling when no one else would. Had upfront, honest pricing. I will definitely call J.P. Barlow for my next move and recommend to friends!

Tony Barlow estimated the move to be 6/7 hours. Tony charged me for 10.75 hours ($1720). Tony and two helper were to arrive between 8 and 9 am on Sept. 17, 2020 to move me from a ranch home to a second floor apartment, Tony arrived at 9:30, while the other two helpers arrived around 10 am. The two helpers did not eat breakfast or bring anything to drink. One stated he worked the night before, had to get his kids off to school, and didn't get any sleep. Neither helper seemed to do anything without being told. All did not seem to be in any hurry to complete the move. They worked so slowly, that I ended out assisting in the move. Tony only had one set of tools, and only one helper disassembled the bed while the other watched. After loading the truck, the three men got something to eat, and arrived at the apartment about 45 minutes after leaving the house. The distance between the house and apartment was 4.33 miles. The three took their time moving the furniture to the apartment. At one time, I went out to the truck, and only one of the helpers was folding blankets, furniture was sitting waiting to be moved to the apartment, and the other two were nowhere to be found. It took over an hour to reassemble the bed, and mirror to the dresser. At 6:15 Tony ask me where I wanted the living room furniture moved, I told him I'd do it myself. I left to grab dinner, and the truck was still stilling in front. Tony called me at 6:50, and expected to be paid that night. The two helpers were sitting around. I have asked for an explanation of the charges four times, but have not received. My new neighbors hired K&R Moving, had more furniture and a washer and dryer. K & R completed the move in 2.5 hours with 6 men and charged them $725. Tony’s fees are based on hours and number of men. I would not recommend J. P. Barlow & Co.
Response from J P Barlow Moving
"[Member Name Removed]...I am truly sorry you feel that you were not taken care of in the best way possible. My staff and I worked very hard at addressing all of your requests, on and before the day of your move. The move took longer due to the carry distance from the truck to your condo and the amount of stairs that were involved.  I understand it was a long day, however there were also services added the day of the move that lengthened the time it took us to complete the job as well.  We strive to satisfy every one of our customers requests before, at the time of the service and after. We thank you for taking time to leave your comments and will take every consideration to your concerns to better serve our customers moving forward. We value you and every one of our customers and thank you for your business! Good luck in this new chapter of your life and in all your future endeavors! "

JP Barlow did an outstanding job moving my office. They were extremely professional. They were very cautious and careful with everything. It was not an easy move (the move was to a second floor walkup), but they did it quickly and without complaint. They are incredible! I will use them again without hesitation.

J P Barlow Moving was extremely professional from our first interaction until the completion of my move. They were very through during the walk through inventory. The crew was professional and careful to make sure my items would not be damaged in transport. They worked hard from start to finish to make sure that my money was well spent. I would not hesitate to use them again and would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Tony was very thorough and transparent in the quoting process. His questions and suggestions gave me tremendous confidence in his experience. The quote matched what we discussed. The moving team were on time, very friendly, and took excellent care of our items and home (old and new). Overall, JP Barlow’s service and team were a great relief during a hectic day of moving. I highly recommend Tony and team!

Professionally done with correct procedures and safety considerations. I believe this is the only company in St. Louis who is capable of moving two 5000 lb stone Griffin statues professionally. Two previous attempts by other companies failed to even lift up the statues Tony directed a team of people with the right equipments to get the job done to my great satisfaction. I highly recommend this firm for moving any real heavy and valuable statue.

Toni was the person who insisted on doing a walk through before giving me a quote. His quote was higher than others, but I'm sure they would have ended up charging me more once they performed the work. His guys were great and Toni is a super nice guy. I would definitely give a 100% recommendation.
