The rating breakdown

Worked out from 35 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

1-star Google reviewJordan M.7 years ago
My experience with Bull City movers last year was by far the worst move EVER! This could have been terrible for the owner after our phone call but I decided not to make a bad situation worse. My leasing office referred me to the company - the guys that showed up were 2 hours late and to top the move off they ripped my entire suede SOFA! without paying for the damage . the gentleman ignored all my calls , the most unprofessional black owned movers I had ever seen !

They left two of my furnitures in their storage and never delivered them. They agreed to refund the value of those missing furnitures but never paid me after 3 months after my moving even if I kept asking. In addition, they asked for $150 for providing a proof of insurnace to my new apartment, even if our agreed price included insurance. I knew some other companies would provide this document for free.

Please do not use this moving company!!! I booked Bull City Movers on June 9 because my roommate and I are moving into a new apartment on July 28. After having a phone conversation and given a rate, the owner asked me to send a text message given the details we discussed over the phone including the date (July 28). I called on July 19, literally a little over a week before our move to confirm our time. Well... Nelson did not answer my phone call but he called back within the next 30 minutes.

Arranged for moving services and agreed on a price, date, and time. The day of the move (ONE day before closing and 20 MINUTES BEFORE THEIR ARRIVAL TIME) the owner, Juan Nelson, changed the agreed upon terms because he was not equipped to do the job we discussed. This left me scrambling to find movers who could properly do the job. All I needed moved was a refrigerator— imagine if I needed a whole house transported! Although the movers themselves were very kind, the owner was wishy-washy and condescending.

The worst movers ever. They unloaded the truck and move our items into our home. The dropped furniture on my new hardwood floors, scrapping them and put huge scratched into the wood. They put holes in the walls and scraps the doorways.

Nelson and the crew were genuinely helpful and understanding. They were responsive, professional, and truly made my move as smooth as possible. I am so grateful to them, and appreciative of each mover that is part of this company. My advice to anyone who is moving locally and across the country - choose Bull City Movers! I promise you’ll feel so secure and happy at the end.

The guys were great. Not only did they do a fine, professional job moving a 1936 Wurlitzer baby grand but we hit it off immediately and had a wonderful time while the diligently worked. Not only would I recommend them to any and everyone, I will use them again anytime I have something to move. Guys thanks for making our day😊
