In their own words
Horrible experience. Charged me for more than quoted - and was moving from a small townhome to another small townhome. Was billed for a long lunch. Damaged multiple pieces of furniture and acted like it wasn't a big deal. Scraped the walls. Left furniture incomplete and got annoyed when I asked them to finish. Left trash and screws in my front yard. Rude and unprofessional. One worker was vomiting in my bathrooms all day.
Rebecca, thank you for taking the time to leave such an untruthful review. First, of all we discounted your move for the one piece of damaged furniture that you agreed to settle. You then did a chargeback after we settled.
It is actually disheartening that I need to write this review. Prior to our move on 4/14/2023 A&M Friendly Movers was highly responsive, quick to answer any questions and provide clarification for whatever was needed prior to my move. On the day of the move I received a message letting me know the movers would arrive by a certain time and they did arrive promptly. The two gentleman were kind, polite and hard working. Upon completion of the move I noticed missing pieces to furniture and damage to a few items.
Nicole, this is Tom O'Neill managing partner up here for the Tri-state. This is the first I have heard that the parts you needed did not arrive. Please email me at [email removed] so that we can get this resolved and hopefully regain your trust.
These are the worse movers I’ve ever worked with. Wow- the whole moving experience with this company was so bad- it seemed surreal. 1. Showed up late. 2. Insufficient man power. 3 guys to move a 3 story Victorian home full of furniture & basement. We were told that there supposed to be 4 guys but one didn’t show. Doubt that would’ve made a difference. 3. Paid Packing service- Off white upholstered club chairs from west elm wrapped with dirty moving blankets, instead of shrink wrap.
Please feel free to call the office if you would like to revisit any of teh above mentioned issues. [phone removed]
I’ve used A&M for two moves now. I’ll be honest, the first move went great. It was an easy job as I didn’t have much to move. No issues. That said, I’m sad to say that I am changing my initial review of this company from my second move after I was lied to by the owners who initially said they would take care the damages done to my couch and have it repaired for me, but now say the best they can do is give me the amount owned based on the protection plan, which barely covers the labor charges of the repair I will…
We love helping our friends. Glad we were able to get it done for you. Response to update. As mentioned above the cash settlement is enough to cover the labor for teh damages.
We hired this company for our move and were very disappointed. While the crew was careful and respectful with our belongings, they were extremely slow, took frequent breaks, ran out of supplies midjob, left material behind needed for the appliances they moved, misplaced parts when putting everything back together and even vaped in our garage while our newborn was inside the house. They also left trash behind at the old property.

I booked A&M movers for a 1 bedroom, 1 bath 900 square foot apartment to a townhouse about 1 mile away. Upon arrival the crew joked "if you care about your things, don't hire movers". That definitely set the tone for the job. No supplies were provided (contrary to the website). We offered our own remaining moving blankets. Even so, items were dragged (not lifted) through the dirty/salty/snowy sidewalks to the moving truck.
Natalie, thank you for bringing all this to our attention. We are glad that we could come to a resolution. We have addressed all the above mentioned issues and are happy to be entering spring and out of the weather that causes so many issues.
We are extremely disappointed with this company. A&M Friendly Movers came highly reviewed and highly recommended. The moving crew we had arrived in sour mood that continued throughout the day. They were very slow on the loading side, using the entire quoted time (almost 9 hours) to load our fully packed and staged small twin house, which would have been fine if it were because they were being extra cautious.
Thank you for your additional feedback on your move. Feel free to contact us at [email removed]
**DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.** I have never felt more taken advantage of or disappointed by a business. Chad, Jay, and Jimmy were friendly, professional, and the only positive part of this experience. I would consider hiring *them* again—but not this company. I hired A&M to pack, move, and unpack my family for a simple cross-town move. With four young children, including a newborn, I made it clear from the start that I needed full support. I was assured everything would be handled.

In their own words
I hired A&M for my recent move because I'd had such a positive moving experience with them in 2023. Once again, they were phenomenal in every way. Booking a slot and signing the paperwork were both easy/straightforward to do online. On moving day itself, the two guys in the crew were extremely professional: communicative, punctual, and friendly. They disassembled and loaded my items skillfully, efficiently, and carefully, and showed the same attentiveness when unloading and reassembling.
Every day everyday move we strive to get better. We are here for you and anything else you may need.
This is the second time we used A &M Friendly Movers. The rates are very reasonable and employees provide a quality service. Austin and Jim were exceptionally friendly and hardworking. They were extra careful with our belongings, and it was clear that our satisfaction was their priority. These two gentlemen never stopped working until the job was done. I would highly recommend this company to family, friends, or anyone who wants quality work for a great price.
Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Our guys are amazing and we are lucky to have them!
I cannot say enough good things about A & M Friendly Movers. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. They provided both packing services on one day and then returned to load a rented U-Haul truck on moving day. The crew arrived right on time, worked diligently and efficiently, and treated everything with great respect. Micah, the owner, was absolutely wonderful to work with.
Our team is ready to perform every day. Enjoy your new home.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a great experience with A & M Movers. I’m honestly extremely satisfied with their service from start to finish. They were recommended to us through our Facebook community, which made me feel comfortable reaching out. I contacted Tom to set up a quote, and he came out the same week. The quote was sent within 48 hours, which I really appreciated since we were on a timeline.
Thank you for the detailed review and for trusting A & M Movers with your move. We’re glad Tom was able to provide a quick quote and help keep everything on schedule. Dylan, Jordan, Jayden, Larry, and Chad will appreciate the recognition.
