In their own words
DO NOT HIRE THEM. Movers STOLE my kids dresser, after assembling my stuff I noticed some more stuff were missing including all the screws for mounting equipment. They were very careless with my belongings, some equipment were broken. I paid for packaging they complained they didn’t want to do it. Communication was horrible. They DO NOT assemble TVs or certain furniture so find some movers that actually offer that. He completely ghosted me after I kept begging them to bring back my dresser.
Miss Yelina, WE DO NOT HAVE YOUR KID'S DRESSER We asked you whether your kid's small white dresser was going and you instructed us to leave it, so we did. If you go back to the pick-up location, you will find that THE DRESSER IS THERE We never said we didn't want to do the packing for you what we…
Extremely rude and unsettling. False advertising. They condition part of the fee on receiving a 5-star review before payment, explicitly stating the service fee would increase if no 5 star review was left. See images.
Hello Meredith WE NEVER MOVED YOU but I am very sorry that you have this mistaken opinion about us-- we're actually not rude at all in-fact we're frequently praised for how respectful & polite we are!
I didn’t want to have to leave this review because the movers were extremely nice. However, ATN movers left me no choice. I recently moved 15 minutes away from one place to another. When we arrived to our new place and the movers informed us they were finished, we went in to give them our payment. When we walked in they informed us, 1, they had broken a sentimental gift and the glass and liquid was all over our clothes (seemed as if the box was dropped during transport), then they also broke our living room glass…
Hello I am very sorry that this happened. I don't think that the movers knew anything about any damage to an electric scooter? We are fully insured and all of our moves are backed with full coverage protection.
I have used ATN Movers three times in the last two years (2021, 2022, 2023). The first two times were for local moves within Northern Virginia, and the third time was for an interstate move (Virginia to New York). The first two moves were great -- it felt like my things were handled with care, and the movers worked efficiently. They charge an hourly rate but don't drag their feet to try to get you to pay more than you need to. Unfortunately, my most recent experience with them wasn't great.
Ma'am I'm sorry about this damage, I understood that this had been resolved already. Your detergent was leaked within the box that you packed it in we are not liable for the contents of boxes that we do not pack ourselves for precisely this reason.
Did not end up booking — the attempt alone was a red flag. I filled out their website inquiry form on 9/12. They replied on 9/15 with preliminary rates (nothing final). That same day, I confirmed my interest and provided all the extra details they asked for (unit photos, what I’d be moving). Then — silence. After 2 days, I followed up. Nothing. Three more days, followed up again, even asking if my intended move date was still available. When they finally replied, they still didn’t provide a final estimate.
Rachel WE NEVER MOVED YOU All of the information you kept requesting was already provided in the first template that we sent you. We REALLY appreciate the business, but we do get extremely busy here and its difficult for us to go back and re-iterate the same information over & over again We…
Beware of Top-Notch Movers – A Horrible Experience** I had an absolutely terrible experience with Top-Notch Movers. They are one of the worst moving companies out there. When they finally delivered our belongings, nearly 50% of our items were either broken or severely damaged. On top of that, our furniture arrived scratched, dented, and in worse condition than when they picked it up. The company’s name is completely misleading – there's nothing "top-notch" about their service.
Hello forgive me I'm not sure who this is but your review does not describe us at all. We train all of our men the proper way to handle boxes and furnishings and we invest heavily in the proper equipment to minimize moving damages as much as possible.
I would STRONGLY advise stay away from this moving company. I scheduled with ATN Movers on January 13th 2025 for a March 07th 2025 move. Provided all the information and pictures that was requested by Eddie the owner. Texted me my confirmation with the pricing and all that were to be included in my move. Sent text message a week before my move date and left a voice messages . NEVER responded. Also called and sent text message 2 days before my move, STILL NEVER respond.
Mr. Strickland I'm very sorry that this happened You are correct you did everything perfect we had you all booked and set to go YOU WERE CONFIRMED 100% for your move We started receiving text messages from an unrecognized phone number soliciting information about your move.
A representative called me right after I left my initial review and pressured me to change my star rating. I explained that for a standard studio apartment move within 10 miles, 2 movers should be sufficient. However, they quoted me around $600 and insisted on using 4 movers, which felt excessive and unjustified given the size and distance of the move. It’s clear they care more about controlling reviews than offering reasonable service and that says a lot about how this company operates.
Ma'am nobody called you to try to pressure you into doing anything. I personally reached out to you explain the reasons why we were quoting you $655 for your move. You were requesting that we move very high-valued heavy items around sharp corners upstairs on a day that was in very high demand with…

In their own words
I recently used Top Notch Movers for my move, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the first phone call, the staff was professional, friendly, and very responsive to my questions. On moving day, the team arrived on time and worked efficiently to pack and load everything with care. They handled my belongings as if they were their own, wrapping fragile items securely and making sure nothing was damaged in transit.
Thank you so much we pride ourselves with excellent customer service skills and even better moving services, we are so happy that you had a great experience thank you again for your business and for the review!
After having a terrible experience with movers that didn’t show up the day of I called these guys and they were able to come the next day at a very reasonable price. Super professional and communicative. Isai and Dennis were incredible and got everything done in an hour and a half and even put my bed together at the end because it was so quick. Would absolutely recommend them!
Thank you!
Affordable Top Notch Movers were exactly what we needed! They were efficient and careful with our belongings. We lost a standing mirror to the move but we weren't upset about it and everything else was delivered in great condition without any damage. They packed our entire apartment and moved us into our new place in about 6 hours and we truly could not have done it without them.
Update from 2026 - this is my fifth time ATN moved me and have moved many of my friends and family. Quick, professional, and top notch service! Just hire them. ...... Just hire them! Competitive pricing, excellent customer service, and efficient professional movers. ATN rescued me with a last-minute hiccup with another vendor for a long distance move from the Shenandoah area to Central Virginia.
Hello Sumayal thank you so much for taking the time to tell others about your experience with us, we really appreciate that! We strive hard to go above and beyond and to provide the highest quality moving service with the most affordable rates possible so your words really are appreciated, thank…
