In their own words
I want to start off with the good: Local Motion were very responsive, upfront with pricing, and provided what I believed to be a clear understanding of what to expect. My wife and I moved from a 1 bedroom apartment (~930sq ft) to a 1 bedroom condo (~1000sq ft). The distance between the locations was about 30 mins at most (DC to Alexandria). The movers arrived right on time, were very professional, and were very careful with our things. Now the bad: they were exceptionally slow.

In their own words
Raoul, Ruslan and Ogi were so amazing. We had an outstanding experience with our movers from start to finish! They arrived on time, were professional, courteous, and handled all of our belongings with great care. The team worked efficiently while making sure everything was properly wrapped, protected, and safely transported. Moving can be stressful, but they made the entire process smooth and worry-free.

Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Excellent communication, great pricing, professional and friendly movers. They even added last minute packing when my other moving help fell through. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you!

I gave them 5 out of 5! Lydia came to my rescue when I desperately needed help after finding out that my storage facility did not allow a PODS container to be delivered to the site. It was the night before the scheduled drop-off, I was still in China coordinating everything, and it was a Saturday. Lydia quickly arranged my move-out for August 13. Since I needed to fly to Kansas City that afternoon, my moving appointment was scheduled for 9 a.m.
We had an excellent experience with Local Motion (Valerii). Hired him to build two desks and a convertible daybed we bought for a new townhouse so we could focus on unpacking and other tasks. Communication was great, confirming receipt of product links and time of arrival. Even after he blew a tire and had to hire a tow truck, he focused on our appointment, texting to let us know and confirming he could still come the same afternoon.
Thank you, Scott! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad Valerii was able to keep everything on track despite the unexpected situation and still deliver great service.
