Express Movers

==Avoid this company==
Nothing positive to say, but here we go with a few major concerns:
1. Running 3 hrs late
2. Owner (Antonio) being rude over the phone. Crew showed up at 9pm, he calls and tell you that they’re going to count start time at 8:30. You ask why and you get yelling back «THEY WERE WAITING IN FRONT OF THE GATE FOR 30 MINUTES AT LEAST» (not even a minute wait, btw).
2. Crew tossing boxes around, you hear things braking inside.
3. Crew drag you mattress on the ground.
4. Crew don’t have tools to put bed frame apart, you give them tools, but they refuse to do it, and try to take frame out while scratching the frame, damaging the doors and walls of the apartment (say goodbye to deposit money).
5. Crew loading boxes first and then sofa and whole bed frame ON TOP of the boxes. Everything get smashed.
6. Crew refuse to load items without boxes (lamp, vacuum cleaner etc.) and tells you to take them in your car.
7. Crew unloads all things on top of each other, tossing boxes around (again), damages wall and doors with bed frame (again).
8. Crew can’t even say” thank you” when you tip them (they didn’t deserve a penny, but I believe in karma so I gave tip anyways).
Overall, it couldn’t be any worse. They are not even cheap– 3hr minimum @ $ 75 per hour.
I have damaged furniture, broken lamps, scratched sofa and eternal regret that I gave business to people like that.

I wish I can say I had an okay experience & I thought I would, but that wasn’t the case.
The owner of the business quoted me a price then went back on it even after I explained my situation and he said he would work with me.
The guys came in to move my things and they were okay but I asked several times for certain things to be thrown away. The bag I asked to be thrown away ended up in my house. Everyone know unpacking can take awhile so the bag sat there for 2 days and I had no idea there was trash just sitting in my house.
Antonio called me after the move was over at almost 9pm which is completely unprofessional and shows that he really has no consideration for others as long as he gets his money. He got loud on the phone with me & I honestly am mad that they moved me. For the quality of service I received, I could have moved by myself & saved money. I never mind paying for GOOD, QUALITY service but this was not that at all.
I wish I was making this up but I was so disappointed and I should’ve read these reviews before confirming their service. I come from a place where people honor their word and treat you with respect and I know they tried to take advantage of me because I am a woman. Oh & did I mention they scuffed up my wall and broke a handle off my dresser which cost way more than their horrible service.
Save yourself the trouble & go with reputable people who actually care about others and their possessions. The only thing they did right was the heavy lifting so I guess thanks is in order for at least that.

They never showed up. I waited for 3 and a half hours! There was always an excuse. When I finally cancelled, they tell me they will be there in 15 minutes. Don’t waste your time with these guys.

I feel fortunate to have not had the heinous experience some poor souls had with this company, but it wasn’t perfect.
We needed a two-​bedroom condo moved, pretty light stuff considering we had no appliances and little furniture to move. It was mostly boxes. Antonio seemed professional and to understand what we required. He came out a few days before the move to give us a quote and bring some boxes. All good. We liked him. The price he quoted was $ 350 plus supplies, plus $ 40/​hr for two people to come the day before to pack our kitchen and books and things and prepare some heavier stuff to move. We also have several valuable artworks he insisted they understood how to secure and move. Again, all good.
Day before he sends a tiny, tiny lady who weighs maybe 90 lbs and a guy to do all the prep. They tell us they didn’t know that we needed heavy things moved but assure us it will all be done. They did a pretty quick job of our kitchen and made a good-​sized dent in the prelim stuff, but they brought no packing supplies and ran out of tape. They actually used OUR tape for about 8 – 10 boxes, like electrical and masking tape, which didn’t stick to the boxes, just awful. They happily threw out lots of junk.
Day of move they are late late late. We get a call from the guys in the truck saying they are 10 min. away. We call Antonio who says they are ½ hour away and are late «because of the rain» (it was barely drizzling out). Er, starting to be not good, but ok whatever.
They ended up being about 1−½ hours late to start but then they did a pretty good job. They were nice and polite, and wrapped our bed and art well. Antonio seemed a little shifty about the charges, he tried to open the door for charging extra for things not discussed or in our estimate but we were on it and made sure it was plainly understood what we would be paying.
I’d say they did a good job. The entire move came to $ 830, which we felt was reasonable. They had to make two drops for our stuff (not far from where we were moving from, and about a half mile apart) and everything seemed to run smoothly. We are waiting for our new home to be readied so we haven’t checked to see if everything made it to its destination, I’m a little paranoid after reading the lady’s story of having her tv disappear, and I will follow up this review after we’re able to take inventory.
Apparently, this is a family business which had been around for several years. The tiny lady was Antonio’s sister and another mover kid was his nephew. That was somehow a plus for us. Take from that what you will, but I think probably when you’re dealing with something this important it’s maybe best to spring for a company that has bonded employees.
Also get EVERY COST sorted out in writing BEFORE you begin and read the contract they bring that they ask you to sign when they arrive. Common sense, I know, but it seems from these reviews that some people don’t do that carefully enough.

Punctual and efficient and the price was right!
They are very affordable and reliable. I like that I was able to get a lower rate by prepaying online. We got 2 guys which was all we really needed since we had already moved most of the boxes and small stuff ahead of time. I only needed the furniture and heavy stuff moved. If you are moving furniture and a lot of miscellaneous things and boxes I would recommend getting 3 guys.
They were only about 20 minutes late to arrive which I think is great. I’ve moved many times and usually wind up waiting hours for other moving companies to show up. Antonio even called to let me know they were running «late». They worked quickly and didn’t drag their feet and take lots of breaks like a lot of other movers charging an hourly rate. The movers were very polite and helpful.
I am moving again next year and will definitely use Atlanta’s Express again. I highly recommend!

Movers were great until they arrived at our new home, then scratched every piece of furniture we had, told us we could call someone to fix it, didn’t do anything he said, and also showed up himself and a young girl to unload a full household, no wonder why things got messed up. DO NOT USE THESE MOVERS THEY WERE HORRIBLE!

There really needs to be an option for negative stars.
I have been meaning to write this review since April but have not had time to really sit down and put down all the details like I wanted to. But since my experience was so ridiculous, I figure I need to at least get it out there so others can avoid what I went through. And honestly rehashing the details would only tick me off, so I will just give you the meat:
Bottom line, I should have taken Dru M’s review with more than a grain of salt and completely avoided using this «mover»
This is not a moving service, it is a ghetto ROBBERY CREW masquerading as a moving service.
Like Dru, I did experience a questionable sense of urgency and professionalism with Antoine which I did take note of, but overlooked. Huge mistake.
I proceeded with the move and my brand new 32″ TV did not make the move to my new place. Other random items were missing as well, but I didn’t even realize that until a few days later. The TV on the other hand I realized immediately, like the guys couldn’t have been down the block before I called Antoine.
He said he would call the drivers and call me back. AN HOUR PASSED. I had to call him. He was completely nonplussed which I couldn’t believe and I remember saying to him, «we’re not talking about a box of dishes here, we’re talking about a TV» he «understood» but said that the guys assured him that the truck was empty and that perhaps it hadn’t been packed from the other place and asked me to check there. At first I was in complete denial and was very nice and willing to believe some mistake had taken place. The next day as soon as I walked in I checked the old place, up and downstairs, no TV, so yes it had been packed the night before. I called him immediately. He acknowledged that he would have to replace it and said if you just got it obviously you would still have receipts so I’ll have to get those from you but right now I’m «in the field» and really am not in a possition to do anything let me call you back.
Understandable, cool.
BUT
That didn’t happen.
He failed to call me when he said he would and I had to call him back the following Monday.
Somehow by that time he had completely lost all desire to make it right and his solution more or less was for me to f*ck off. He was completely apathetic and actually had the audacity to have an attitude and told me that HE got screwed, and he’s not a rich man and I should just take what he was offering me. (about $ 60 on a brand new not even 6 month old TV, or some 2 year old TV out of his house. WTF?) I told him that was not only not what he had said initially, but completely unacceptable and he needed to rethink that as I have several options (he had essentially threatened me and told me I should take it or leave it because by the time I get through with taking him to court I’d be better off) To date he has not followed up with me in any way shape or form and I can not get in contact with him. (yet another sign of a shady business)
So yeah, in a way he was right, suing him would be a pain in the @ss. So he essentially gets away with screwing me over, but hopefully noone else.
Save yourself and keep searching, especially since he charges the same as anyone else would.

I needed something moved that afternoon. Antonio and his crew were available, quick, courteous, efficient and friendly. They got the job done and I would definitely ctc them again.

This company was referred by a coworker so my husband and I decided to use them. Let me say, you get what you pay for. Unlike other references, they were on time, however, they were not professional movers and I found out as they were loading the truck, the bulk of the workers are people «they pick up off the street» as stated by one of the movers.
If you are looking for an organized and professional company, this isn’t the company for you. However, if you are able to supervise them and basically «walk them through» the move you will be in good shape. I wouldn’t trust their moving abilities without supervision.
The owner, although nice, was not professional and was late getting us an invoice for payment. Nevertheless, the labor was cheap and was what we needed at that very moment.

My story starts over 2 weeks before my actual move date when I requested a reservation on Atlanta’s Express Movers website. I have used many moving companies in Atlanta before, but had heard that Atlanta’s Express had the cheapest rates. I should have known that you get what you pay for.
At first I requested ⁶⁄₃₀ at 1p, but said I could start as early as 11a. I also noted that I was told that they charge $ 75/​hour or $ 225 flat rate. After a few days of not hearing anything… I called and left a message regarding my reservation. The next day I received an email from Antonio Hughes, owner, saying how sorry he was that it had taken him so long to get in touch with me. He said that I was the only appointment for 6/30…so any time would work for them and that the rates were correct. I then emailed him back… saying I would prefer to lock in 11a and use the flat rate of $ 225. After another 2 days of no response… I emailed and left another message to confirm that 11a was ok and he responded with yes. He again apologized (over email) for not getting back to me quicker… starting to sound like a broken record, huh?
Since I had the 11a confirmation, I was feeling pretty good. Well… until the day before the move. That’s when I received a call from Antonio saying that he was very sorry, but he had to push my move time, but they would be there before 12n. Next came the call from at 9a on ⁶⁄₃₀ (the day of my move) that the movers might not be there until 1p. Next thing you know… it’s 130p and no movers. Now I’m getting mad because I’ve been waiting at my old house for them when I could have been doing other things to help my move. I then called Antonio to ask where the movers were… he said, «Oh…they should be there within the hour». Yup… just like that. No regard for the fact that they are now over 3 hours late. Ok… I’m not getting ticked off, but it wasn’t until 330p that I started to get really mad. I call Antonio again and he says that the movers are within minutes from my house. He then starts to blame his movers for being late… saying that they are lazy and complaining because of the heat. I don’t think that’s a great business model to blame your employees. He also says that he will take money off of my move, as well as send out another mover to help. And to put the cherry on top… he said that he would personally come out to also help. This is mostly because I stressed when I made the reservation that I needed the move to be done by 6p.
Movers finally pull up to my house after 430p, but really didn’t start moving until 5. The truck also looked large enough to maybe fit a 1 – 2 bedroom place. When the movers came into the house they were very surprised that I had a 3 bedroom house, as well as living and dining room furniture. At this time… there was nothing else I could do, but suck it up and accept the fact that my move was not going to run the way I was promised.
I tried to get through the next 3 hours as best as I could. Antonio never showed up and when the movers were done… I made my bf call to find out the new rate and he said it would only charge $ 225. Umm… that was the original rate. He then said he would do $ 200. Gesh.
I did feel bad for the actual movers. They were overworked, but good guys.
Lastly.four pieces of furniture were damaged during the move and I was not told while they were at my home. I later found out, called Antonio, but still have not received a call back.
Overall…cheapest doesn’t mean good service/​quality.

I needed a mover recently and didn’t want to pay a pile of money, so I turned to craigslist to find some cheap labor. There I found Atlanta’s Express Moving & Delivery.
I gave Antonio at Atlanta’s Express Moving & Delivery a call. He quoted me $ 225 for 3 hours on a Saturday with 3 men and a truck. I thought that was great since other companies wanted so much more (Mark The Mover $ 405, Two Men and a Truck $ 360).
The big day arrived for the move across town and I had Antonio and his crew scheduled for 11am. He called and said he was running late and would be there when he could. Him and his crew got to my old condo at 1:30, but that was ok since the price was still right.
Atlanta’s Express Moving & Delivery was able to pack all of my furniture at the old condo, pick up several heavy pieces out of storage down the street, get to the new townhouse, and unload everything within a little over 2 hours. That was great if I say so as I have a lot of heavy JUNK.
After they finished I paid Antonio his quoted price of $ 225 + a tip for each mover and gave them all a cold beer. They were very happy about the beer!
I certainly recommend Atlanta’s Express Moving & Delivery and will use them for my next move as well.
