In their own words
The moving company took advantage of my elderly in-laws during their relocation. There was no clear leadership on-site, and the crew was unprepared. They failed to coordinate truck arrivals, which caused long delays. Because the job was billed hourly, my in-laws were charged significantly more than the original estimate due to the crew waiting around with no direction. The workers appeared untrained and unequipped.

Horrible experience. Extremely unprofessional. The 3 men who showed up spent the first couple of hours arguing with each other. They didn't get anything done until their boss showed to help them. They were lazy (I'm using their own words here, as the one "in charge" said this about the oldest man in the group) and did a horrible job over all. Packed very sloppily and left several feet of space unused toward the top. They were trying to "wrap it up" and leave when I found they'd left half our dining set out.
Your employees hit the side of our building, looked around the truck, and never stopped to pay for damages. To make things worse, I've contacted the call center and receive no response after 4 attempts. My next call will be Charlottesville Police to report the hit and run. It's all on video with the company logo proudly displayed. Call Neighborhood Properties and ask for Evan, I don't need the canned response you give for reviews.
Evan Grover, Thank you for giving us your honest feedback. We want you to know our College Hunks team is committed to providing exceptional service and take all feedback, including yours, very seriously and with the utmost concern.
They were very nice on the phone making an appointment, but things went down from there quickly. My father in law had recently passed away and his house had been sold and we had only days to move the furniture out. I confirmed with the phone center that the moving day was the next day and she confirmed that it was, and received a text confirming it. I had everyone there to have everything ready to go the next day. They were supposed to be there at 11:00.

We had a horrendous experience and would not recommend. We had a quote to help us load a truck for cross country move for 2 movers, 7.5 hours, $1100. For some reason 3 guys showed up and could not load the truck in any common sense way. We had to ask them multiple times to load heavy stuff on the bottom, to use the moving blankets and use ratchet straps (that WE provided) and they couldn't do that. Our walls suffered deep gouges in them because they didn't wrap our wood furniture.
Courtney Remington, On behalf of our CHHJ team, we want to truly apologize for any frustrations or inconveniences that may have transpired during your experience. We always strive to provide 5-star service and we’re saddened to hear that we didn’t meet our goal this time.
We used CHHJ to pack our moving truck and had a terrible experience. When I called them to find out if they could pack our truck for our move, I specified that we were paying based on the space we used, and asked if their team could efficiently and effectively pack a truck for a long-distance move. The manager assured me that he would send his "long-distance moving team" who would pack the truck securely, and in addition they would bring extra supplies (moving blankets, straps) in case we needed them.
Abbey Nicholas, We always strive to deliver a 5-star experience and stress free junk haul or move and we sincerely apologize that this was not the case for you. If you could please reach out to us directly to discuss this matter further we would greatly appreciate it. ([phone removed].
Awful from the very beginning. First off, I was promised three men and only two showed up. I paid for a tv box which they didn’t have. They complained about us being on the 4th floor of an apartment complex first off when they arrived and then they wanted us to sign paperwork. We politely told them we would read it over first and then sign it. They then went back to the truck and called the office and told them we wouldn’t sign the paper work.
Mary Jean, We always strive to provide our customers with the best service possible and we’re truly sorry we did not leave you completely satisfied. Please contact us at your earliest convenience [phone removed] so that we can help resolve any other issues.
I would have not rated this any stars at all if I could. I called looking for quotes to move a large piece of furniture, which would take about 15 minutes to handle. I was told that they could give general quotes but a supervisor needed to come out and look. We set up a general time for the supervisor to come out the next day and I gave the info needed. That was almost a week ago and I still have not heard from anyone. I will not be utilizing or recommending these guys at all in the future.
We truly apologize that we didn’t exceed your expectations. We work extremely hard to ensure great customer experience and appreciate your feedback.

In their own words
College Hunks was very good at communicating from beginning to the end. The fellows they sent were on time and very polite. One of them did not come dressed to move heavy furniture: he was wearing a slide in type sandal and pajama pants! They did the actual move in a quick amount of time but when it came to setting just a few things up they acted surprised. We had to ask them to set up the queen size bed and put the box springs and mattress on as we are 73 and have trouble handling the heavy pieces.
We just wanted to thank you for leaving us this review on Google! Please let us know if we could help you with anything else.
I used College Hunks to move contents of my 3BR home into a storage unit. They were very responsive from the process of receiving an estimate to the actual day of the move. I received a call and text reminder the day before the move. Due to the bad weather forecast they added additional people to help move my things quicker to avoid getting wet. They checked with me first. They arrived in the timeframe they said they would and the person who gave me the estimate also showed up.
Lorrie Jean, Thank you for your positive feedback as we’re sincerely grateful you took the time to leave us this review. We’re so happy to continue to provide our customers with the best junk haul or moving services in Charlottesville!
College Hunks (Linden Avenue, Charlottesville, VA) came through for me when another mover let me down. I had made a reservation on line for a residential move and paid the $99.00 deposit. I later cancelled after getting a recommendation from the new residence’s property manager for another provider, DILF Movers. Subsequently Cole from CH called to inquire about my cancellation. He’s was very understanding of my reasoning, agreed to refunding my deposit quickly, and offered his assistance if needed at any time.
Thank you, Kenneth Fox, for your positive feedback. We’re happy to hear you had a good experience with College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving and hope you will turn to us again in the future for any of your junk removal and moving needs.
My appointment was easy to make with College Hunks online, and I received emails and texts to verify my information. They followed-up with confirmations the day before and the day of my appointment. The two young men were on time, hard-working, polite and efficient. They made sure my items were removed without any issues, which exceeded my expectations.
Mayer Shlomo, Thank you for the wonderful review! We really appreciate hearing about your feedback and are so pleased to hear our team was able to provide you with a stress-free experience. We’re truly so grateful for customers like you.
