The movers were late arriving to my house and then it took them 7 hours to arrive at my new house that is 3 hours away. I never received a call from Adrian to let me know they were going to be3 late, I was the one who called him. While the other 2 guys were moving my items into my house, Adrian was playing on his phone and watching baseball on his iPad. At one point Adrian told me to "check my attitude" and he would "hug me" before he left. I made him aware he would not be hugging me. During the move, my dining room was damaged and my dining chair upholstery was punctured. I sent Adrian pictures of the damage and I have yet to receive a call from Adrian. The 2 gentlemen working with Adrian were excellent! They were kind, respectful and worked diligently. I can't say the same about Adrian. I was shocked to learn Adrian owns the company. Adrian provides very poor customer service> My recommendation is that you DO NOT hire Collegiate Movers!

Great experience. Polite friendly workers, punctual, quick work, and no damage. Came in under estimate. Would recommend Collegiate movers for any large or small move!

After doing a complete walk-through of the house for which my father was present though I was not, they gave an estimate that was in my budget though other movers quoted twice as much. I relied on online reviews and hired them. Upon completion of the move, they charged my double the quote saying they had underestimated my household goods. They give you 7 days to unpack when industry standard is 30, and when I had unpacked I found >$1500 worth of damage to my things. They came and assessed the damage - took photos and a copy of the letter my antique repair expert had prepared. Adrian initially verbally agreed to compensate $2000 over a few months for damage and over billing, but he did not follow through and stopped returning my calls and texts. I filed with the BBB, and he agreed in writing to pay $1000 but again failed to follow through. He then stopped communicating with the BBB. I once again reached out to Collegiate Movers, and Adrian agreed to send me a check for $1500. There was drama associated with that check, but the long and short is that I was able to recover a portion of what they owed to me for overcharging the job and damaging to my household goods.

Collegiate Movers did a great job! We moved to a 3rd floor apartment with extra stairs just to get to the 1st floor. Not once did they complain, not even about the heat! They were professional and efficient completing the move in 2 hours which was impressive going up those stairs. I was expecting it to take longer than it did because of the weather (about 90 that day), but they stayed right in the quoted amount of time. Great job! I would definitely hire them again.

Great, I would use collegiate anytime I needed anything moved whether it's from my upstairs floor to the downstairs floor or moving from one house to another. These guys are very professional there on time and They don't waste time.?

Have a minimum hourly rate that exceeded my needs and even though I was willing to pay it, scheduling was difficult. Both times I used them, movers arrived and told me they could do it cheaper if I called them privately and left their numbers.

These three men where all very pleasant and professional especially the lead man (Austin) who kept things moving along smoothly and I would readily hire this company again based on their performance. They did arrive about 30 minutes later than originally estimated but many factors can be behind this that may not have been under this crews control and I didn't ask for an explanation.

The movers were running a little late, but they called to let me know. They were very pleasant, professional, and efficient. There was only one small ding on one of the walls, but otherwise, they did a great job keeping the walls, floors, and doors from getting damaged. All of our belongings fared well, too. We ultimately chose Collegiate because they were less expensive than the other moving companies that gave us quotes and because of their good reviews and recommendations. If I were moving again, I would hire them.

Their price was competitive. I was talking about an guy for an appointment at 9:30, and they guys came at 9:00. The guys are paid by the time they leave. So, it started at 9:00. They were punctual, they were there pretty early. One of the three guys were really nice. The other were not really good at their jobs. They broke a couple of pieces of furniture. Chipped the legs. Broke the bolt on the thing. The worst part about it, the whole three and a half hours, they kept reminding me to give them a tip. Every time I would pass them, they kept asking for an tip. I gave them a tip, and didn't realize stuff was broken until after the fact. Different pieces of furniture was broken. They just kept saying we going to look after you, and make sure you look after us at the end of the day. I knew what they were talking about.

The two gentlemen who moved me were excellent.  They were onsite early, which was great.  They loaded quickly, carrying multiple boxes or items at a time.  Handled things with care.  Helped me add legs to tables and set them up.  Great service and very affordable price.  I would highly recommend them.

These guys were great!  The price was reasonable, they were right on time, kept in touch with me during the trip, did a great job taking care of by belongings during loading and unloading, and were very friendly and professional.  I would most definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone for their moving needs!
