This was a great company to work with, and I am very happy with their performance. The guys were great and worked very hard, moving me from a second-story apartment to my new home. They take very good care of everything, and they put it exactly where you want it. I couldn't ask for more than that. Excellent experience.

These guys are without a doubt the best. Very professional and courteous and they really listen to your needs. Do not hesitate to call them for any size move you need. I had a complicated move with a lot of heavy furniture that I inherited from my mom and a baby grand. The furniture has significant meaning to me and I was so happy to see how well everything was treated. Thank you Best Darn Movers for making my move easier than I expected.

What a fantastic company. From dealing with Joel to every member of the team there was total ownership of getting our house packed safely! They moved our stuff as if they own it themselves! Can’t wait to have them empty the Pods and move us into our new home when it is finished! Thanks guys - truly the best! James

I recently made arrangements to move my elderly father who lived in a large 3 story house for 30 years into half of a double. Included in the move was a second move of my belongings stored in this house to Florida. There were 2 trucks involved and a lot of furniture. Because of the sensitive nature of moving an elderly person together with the long distance move, the stress level was high. In fact, there was a huge argument over the cost of the movers between family members the night before the move. The argument was over the price another moving company had given me that I decided not to go with. Others believed I was using this much higher priced moving company and that I was being over-charged. However, what really happened is that the next day, 3 awesome movers showed up and professionally, efficiently and inexpensively handled the job. A great value and great service is hard to come by these days. We were drinking champagne celebrating by 3 pm the same day! I took total joy in knowing that I did indeed chose the Best Darn Movers available!

Joel from Best Darn Movers was absolutely GREAT. He sent Derrick and Zak. They were at our home exactly at the arranged time. They moved EVERY item I requested moved into our truck without incident. PROFESSIONAL, RESPECTFUL, EXTREMELY COURTEOUS. I could not be happier with the service we received. In this day and age of unacceptable Service, that certainly was not my experience...they truly took the stress out of my move and I am Grateful to them...THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU. I may need them again for a much smaller job in the near future and they can certainly Guarantee I will be calling them——Thank you Joel, Derrick and Zak...Be Blessed...

These guys get it. Picking up the phone when a potential customer calls, being responsive and invested. All of this has been near impossible to find in ANY service provider I've come across since I moved from the West Coast to NEPA. The attitude is that you're doing the business a favor by wanting to give them your $. Joel was always available and empathetic, was even so generous as to offer me the use of his van. The crew was exceedingly pleasant and professional.
Response from BestDarnMovers

"Thank you, Charlene, for your kind words. I have good guys, they do good work; I'm lucky to have them. All the best in your new place. Maybe sometime going forward you'll need the van. Don't hesitate. Joel BestDarnMovers 570.852.9243"

Very professional and efficient crew. I was moving about 2-2.5 hours away and had a horrible time finding someone willing to do it at all. Those that were willing wanted to charge more than double my budget. From first contact Joel was very professional and easy to work with. He offered several options regarding timing and logistics. Quote was easily the best I received, and ultimately the job actually came in $200 under the quoted price. The crew arrived on time and took great care of my furniture and belongings. They made great time on the drive and kept things moving smoothly the whole time. I would recommend them to anyone.

Best Darn Movers did a great job. We bought equipment in Pittston, PA and had to have it trucked to western PA. I had no way to load the equipment so I was looking for a way to get it loaded. I found Best Darn Movers on Angie's List and the owner said that although this wasn't the usual type of moving that they did, they could do it. They put everything on pallets and loaded it on the trucks for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them.

The men were quick, but careful; each very strong; polite & knew what they were doing. The job ended up being a little more complicated & another job had been scheduled. They went to that job & returned to finish up. My bill was adjusted as more time was necessary than planned, but I saved! I believe they should be the Greatest Darn Movers! Joel, change the name: you deserve it. I will refer them to anyone I know that can utilize their services. A wonderful group of men!

My appointment was for 3pm and it was after 5pm before they came but I was called and given updates as to when they were going to arrive.  The moving job that they had before mine took them longer than anticipated. Once they did arrive they were quick and careful at getting my furniture load in the truck and getting it to my new house. They brought all the furniture in and set it up where I wanted it.  I was quoted $550 and charged $591. Which I think is a little high but despite that they were quick and professional so I would use them again.  
Response from BestDarnMovers

"Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. Ya ya ya, we blew it on the punctuality. Sorry. The jobs we do are often sight-unseen; we rely on the customer's description of inventory and logistical points. Sometimes that description is not as accurate as it should be. But no matter, we get it done. We weren't that far off the mark on your estimate and the culprit was the long carrying distance from your place, to the truck. Again- sorry, but some things are beyond our control. Our work rate on a per-man basis is still about $10-$15 per hour below other similar local companies. Moving is no longer an inexpensive proposition. But when you figure in all the expenses like trucks and the workman's compensation coverage, (omg!!), we think we offer pretty good value. Thank you for indicating that you would use us again. Happy to jump in whenever you may need us. All the best in your new place. Joel"
