    Beware —- read the fine print

    Most reputable businesses stand by their own job. Difficult to say that here together with FCM.

    Had a little project where they needed to maneuver a bedroom set in the next floor and also swap a set in a POD. The movers shed a glass leading off lace down the staircase which smashed into the walls, bannister and tiles beneath. Sent quotes to fix but their contract states , they have been swift to point outthat, may only pay for 50 bucks. The repairs are more expensive than the movement of approximately 600. They show no guilt, are rude, don’t respond to mails and essentially do not really care since they’re a high volume store. Fantastic luck should you utilize them. They don’t stand by you personally.

    They’re quite considerate about the front end when they get one to register but apparently that is where it finishes.

    Not reliable!

    The contract with Five College Movers has been to get a transfer to get a Saturday afternoon at 9:00 AM. When they didn’t appear or return a few calls for their workplace we had been required to deal with different movers in the last moment, at significant cost, to be from their very first place punctually. At 11:30 among their drivers known to inform us that they’d be 1/2 hour late, and incidentally, that the transfer was compared to 12:00. We were not advised of the shift. Their contract known as a $350 cancellation charge and a 250 rescheduling charge, however wouldn’t honor either. Not a dependable business!

    BEWARE of Five College Movers

    They look like an ideal business to utilize to get a transfer but purchaser and Agency BEWARE!!! Prior to signing a contract together, please be aware that they are the top at tacking charge’s on your final invoice which you’ll be amazed about after the actuality. Additionally, be certain you inquire how much they pay to push their truck into the destination in which you own your items from where they’re coming in by. They billed me $11.60 per mile, drove from Westfield, Mass into Springfield, Mass and stated it was 145. That is 12.5 miles merely to reach my moms place. All that they did was move her things to a truck we let ourselves plus they billed us all together around $800. They did not push her items everywhere.

    They have been 5 HOURS LATE!!! If your on a time restriction, take care not to employ this business.

    KEEP ALL RECORDS AND RECEIPTS. They contacted me 6 months after and said I owed them $600. Happily I retained my bank statements and receipts.

    I don’t recommend this firm to anybody and won’t use them again. I have been in operation for more than ten decades and they don’t even speak like business folks.

    Broken piano

    The men from Five College Movers where difficult employees and did a fantastic job with the exclusion of a single significant issue. These men broke my piano at HALF!! This had been an upright piano which was in my family for 30 decades. The movers took photos straight away and reported for their own company. I filled out a damage report and a month afterwards, I’ve heard nothing in them. I eventually called them today and had been advised that Dave had been the individual to speak to and that he wasn’t in there now. I shall update this review if this matter is solved but the time for anticipating a reply from this business is unsatisfactory. Hopefully, I’ll hear from Dave about Monday 8/31/20 or else I’ll be calling back again.

    Good move, bad experience with office staff about over-billing

    In the close of the move on 4/22/2020, I asked to get a copy of this comprehensive receipt showing the fees. The Agency said he did not have a backup however, the office will ship it out in two business days. I paid my invoice via credit card and discovered it had been billed 751.25. Called the office another week after not getting my receipt and it had been advised that they would email it on. Followed up the very next day after not having it to affirm the spelling was right on my own email. Email has been confirmed right and it had been mentioned that it could be resent over. The very next day after not getting the email, I had been proactive and re-followed back up to make sure I could receive my receipt and assess over the invoice. It had been said to me that they would check with the supervisor since they’d be needing there daily assembly soon. Quick forwarding up until now (5/6/2020) once I called back in and had them re-send it again that I eventually obtained the receipt. Noticed that the bill was incorrect. I called back and talked with Corey and Pat about the way no moving equipment was utilized however, the bill said it had been. They stated that two rolls of tape had been used when the movers did not utilize any rolls out of their truck since I had everything all ready boxed, taped, and extend wrapped up. Additionally mentioned to them that my deposit was not included in the reception. The supervisor got an attitude with me concerning both rolls of tape along with the deposit being reimbursed. I advised him that I noticed two fees of 751.25 being taken from my account. As me being a former operation supervisor for a moving company in North Carolina, the office team of Five College Movers was dreadful. They did not demonstrate any possession so far as following up with the client concerning the matter and it required a glimpse of 14 days to get down the route of settlement. When a paper bill of lading was completed, I’d have observed the fees straight away and contested them but they stated because of Covid-19, the workplace does the paperwork. Following each move that the bill was conducted, the charge card credentials should be shredded. How on earth did my move becoming charged twice? After revealing in the driver that was on the go day, then the next time about the 28th of April.

    A specialist firm will constantly remain tactful rather than argue with a client, particularly if the business is in the incorrect! The movers were excellent however, the procedure and office are another story.

    Local Move

    Five College Movers assisted me go anyplace in Northampton, MA into Amherst, MA in August of 2013. They promtly reacted to a site quote form I filled out, and also direct the way from that point. I was quite impressed with the authenticity of the whole organiation and valued how attentive they had been with all of my possesions. Highly reccomend them if your moving locally!

    VERY impressed with efficient professional service

    From the beginning these men were amazing. The first appointment was suitable, fast & accurate. And this wasn’t a easy movement. It involved dividing a big family home filled with antiques and transferring the things to four distinct places some end up in a storage unit 5 College Movers found for all of us.

    The quote we had been given was exact both in cost and time – that was so critical for our preparation. On Friday afternoon it was evident the movers were well trained. They have been respectful, courteous and worked well together. They had a method which has been completely intended overriding all of our chaos. Juan was particularly striking with his capacity to maneuver fragile antiques.

    I strongly recommend these professionals.
