Reviewing: Superior Moving

(9.0 out of 10 rating)

When I filled out the Imoving form I specified a pick up time between 8am and 9am. A whole list of available movers came up and I chose one. A few days later I received an email informing me that the mover was switched to Superior. I added a second pick up location that was less than a half mile from the drop off and called Superior to confirm they received the update and he said he had. Day of the move I had to have my father drive over an hour to the pick up location because I was going to miss the office hours of the complex I was moving into and without signing the lease and getting keys, I obviously could not move. The movers did not show up until after 3pm! The guys on the actual crew were great. MY BAD EXPERIENCE IS NOT WITH THOSE MEN. When I was presented with the bill by the movers it was almost $300 LESS than what Imoving charged me and when confronted Imoving and superior both claim that the team of movers don’t know what they’re doing but I argued that they didn’t write out the bill, they were given the paperwork and sent to the location. I was told it was “human error”. I’m still in the process of disputing. Be cautious.

Philadelphia Moving Services Are a Click Away

iMoving simplifies your move to Philly by offering a range of services through our trusted network of movers. Whatever the nature of your move, we've got you covered:

Long Distance Moving

There's a surprising amount of long distance moving companies in Philadelphia, but they're not all worthy of your attention. That's why iMoving made it easy to shop and choose from the best in town.

We're the only marketplace that lets you shop, compare quotes, and book your long distance movers in Philadelphia without dealing with phone calls or in-home inspections. Just tell us where you're going and what needs hauling, and we'll provide a list of moving pros that are up to the task.

You're looking for the best local moving company in Philadelphia, and iMoving can help you book them. We'll sort out all the sketchy operators to make sure you get a list of the more reliable and trustworthy options, and we'll make it easy to book once you've shopped through quotes.

Instead of dealing with in-home estimates or time-wasting phone calls, iMoving is the only platform that lets you book your local movers in just a few clicks.

Packing Services

Do you have enough boxes for all your stuff? Do you have enough padding for all your fragile items? Do you have tape, packing peanuts, furniture pads, and everything else to keep your items absolutely safe in transit?

Amazon boxes won't cut it. And neither will your old t-shirts for padding and protection. Book packing services in Philadelphia, and iMoving will make sure you'll get all the supplies you need - and the skilled hands to put it all in place.

Storage Services

Some people overestimate how much space they have. Some people underestimate how much stuff they have. And some people are a little bit of both. That's why iMoving offers secure, on-site storage for all your extra items.

Storage isn't just about square footage. It's also about spare time. It's tough to get situated at your new place if you have to weave through dozens of boxes. If those boxes are in a storage facility in Philadelphia, it'll be a lot easier to set up your new place. And if your storage providers can deliver your items straight to your door? That's even easier - and that's how storage at iMoving works.

Commercial Moving

Pardon the pun, but moving a business includes a lot of moving parts. It's more than just moving desks: It's moving your team, moving your base of operations, and moving all the equipment and appliances that makes your HQ the beating heart of your company.

At iMoving, we only work with the best commercial moving companies in Philadelphia. We make sure they offer all the specialty services you'll need for your fragile IT gear, your heavy machinery, and your mountains of inventory. And we made it super easy to shop for quotes and compare services while you're at it.
