The overall experience was good. The movers were very professional, helpful, and did a good job. IMoving experience was good, but there were discrepancies in communication at times and challenges getting confirmations or getting ahold of a person to verify information. But, overall the total experience was very good.

I was the first client to use this mover through iMoving and while there was a little bit of a learning curve the staff at A & M Friendly movers did a phenomenal job! The showed up on time and gave me calls with etas. They were great when we set up the exact pick up time, and the 2 guy that did the moving were so sweet, professional and most importantly they were fast and knew exactly what they were doing! If I ever need to use a mover again in that area, then will be my go to for it!

A&M friendly movers made our moving experience extremely easy. The professionalism from Ryan and Ron of A&M F M was top notch.. they were punctual, professional, friendly and they took great interest in keeping the stress of moving to being a stress free experience.. I will definitely use A&M for my next move and would highly recommend them to anyone and to book directly through them. Ryan and Ron are solely responsible for this outstanding review!

The movers were late and did not have wrap or blankets as I specified. We had to wait 2 hours before could start while they picked up those supplies. Nice guys and hard workers but some of my furniture was scratched up or chipped. They also did not have any of thier own tools.

I was a little anxious that morning with all that had to be done. As soon as they walked in and began assessing what they had to move and how they planned to move it, they eased my mind fairly quickly. They were professional and friendly. As the day progressed I was amazed at the amount of care they took handling all of my furniture and fragile items. Absolute attention to detail. I listened as they planned protection of my items and as they communicated the travel path and hand placement on each heavy and awkward lift. Safety, quality and efficiency, all of which are extremely important to me. They moved everything I needed moved in one (very hot) day using organizational skills and professionalism. It's rare you find anyone these days willing to go the extra mile to make it happen and their determination was apparent. As they pulled away when the job was complete, I felt like I was waving good-by to family. I only wish I could hire these 3 men full time. I have recommended them to friends since I met them yesterday.

FAQ

What is a Binding Estimate?

In the moving industry, there are three types of estimates: binding, non-binding, and non-binding, not-too-exceed. When you get a binding estimate, it means you’re getting a flat rate.

The amount on your quote is the amount you’ll pay. Binding estimates are a good sign you’re dealing with a reputable mover.

Non-binding estimates can be adjusted before, during and after a move, but non-binding, not-to-exceed estimates can only be adjusted downwards from your initial price.

Do iMoving Carriers Offer Moving Insurance?

All movers are legally required to offer a minimum level of insurance coverage. Unfortunately, this amounts to about $0.60 per pound of items lost, damaged, or destroyed.

Did your 4 pound Macbook get broken in transit? You're only gonna get $2.40. Fortunately, iMoving can connect you with movers who offer full value protection. This means if something gets damaged or broken, you'll be reimbursed the actual price.

How Should I Prepare for my Charleston Move?

To prepare for a move in Charleston, we recommend taking a few important steps. First, make sure you've got a job lined up at your destination. Secondly, downsize as much as possible before shopping for movers.

If you're doing your own packing, box up your stuff starting with the least-used items, and always pack an essentials bag so you aren't stuck rooting through boxes for your toothbrush or clean underwear.

How Much Will a Charleston Move Cost Me?

A Charleston move can cost you anywhere from $378 to $7200 and beyond. It all comes down to how much you’re moving, and how far you’re traveling.

Keep in mind, local movers charge per mover, per hour (with about 2 movers per room), and long distance movers charge by weight (or volume) and miles.

How Much Should I Tip My Movers?

We recommend tipping between 15% and 20% of the total cost of the move, to be divided up between your entire moving team.

Don't forget the driver, either! In the moving industry, tipping is usually accepted and expected.

While there are some rare companies that don't accept a gratuity, it's a good idea to have your wallet at the ready just in case.
