    Long-distance move from Austin, TX
    Extortion for services not rendered

    BEWARE. Mover showed up on meth, the”customer service” rep (sales man ) showed up on the final day of the window and was not ready so my husband needed to find a U-Haul and pitch in. Then they threatened to maintain our furniture when we did not pay an additional $1500 charge for a service we did not use. My husband looked after the men, purchased them meals and leaned royally and we have treated horribly. They destroyed our shifting experience.

    Poor accountability and manipulation of charges

    Moved 23 occasions as a career officer in the USARMY.
    Undoubtedly the very worst.

    Damaged (significant damage… broke off one of those legs) classic cedar chest and then attempted to hide it.
    I was to obtain a 10 percent US Army reduction on the real shifting price. Eric,(JK Moving) wouldn’t show me the bookkeeping to disclose any reduction… simply said that it was built to the rates
    Complete charge was 34% greater than Eric’s quote (He visited my house and saw everything which was to be moved)
    Damaged my hardwood flooring by pulling tape up and pulling up the end with it.
    Smashed a wrought iron seat
    Damaged a wall inside my new (just built)… deep estimate
    From the method of reporting it to Army IG & SJA. . should be debarred

    JK is the worst moving company I've ever used

    I have moved a great deal. I have seen some decent moves and a few awful. JK was hands down the worst. They’ll break your items, even delicate items which you need to pay additional to get hands crated by them, and they’ll not pay you to replace or fix whatever. They showed up late, with much less individuals than the contract given, broke tens of thousands of dollars worth of products. After impolite service staff could assert and lie on what occurred, they had the audacity to deliver a $100 check and assert that was exactly what they believed was fair damages. Pathetic. I will inform everyone I ever come across who’s going to never, ever use JK moving.

    Dishonest and rude

    After interviewing 4 moving businesses to move my entire family in Virginia to South Carolina, we depended on JKMOVING for a number of factors. To begin with, the gentleman that arrived for the quote was very private, professional, and more comprehensive. Secondly, the cost was fair. They can deliver our possessions fast. Ultimately, Louis reported that they would have the ability to package and load with no being present, when many firms wouldn’t. This was quite significant to us, since we don’t have any family in the region to assist, so that I had been informed by Louis I could supply them with a secret, so that they could look after it to us, although it wasn’t a normal or ideal circumstance. He explained if it meant getting the deal, they’d make it function, and these were his precise words. On the afternoon of this movement, December 26, our shifting group came 45 minutes late. I walked them through the home and had them make certain everything was great to go to get packedwith They stated that they wouldn’t have the capability to pack a few things I had left there like cleaning goods, oils, etc., and that I advised them to abandon it to the cleaning firm. I gave them a key to this home, as mentioned by Louis, and Ray, the Agency, was quite surprised. He hadn’t been advised of our arrangement, but went forward with the packaging. He told me you call me when he wanted anything and told him that my husband will return the following moment. We left for South Carolina The following morning, my husband stopped a plane to get Virginia, and he even moved back into the home. He had been given some liquids along with a few batteries to shoot that couldn’t be packaged, and that he got in the vehicle and drove to South Carolina back in another car after being told that he was no more wanted. After that day, I got a call from Ray I want to know that they had been not able to receive our queen mattress frame down the staircase and that they’d already damaged the walls. While on the telephone, among those other movers managed to get down it. I asked Ray to please send an image of the harm, which he did. He delivered 3 from his mobile phone. He explained it was not that bad and requested me not to file a claim when at all possible, since he’d need to personally cover the hurt. On Thursday December 29, our objects were delivered. We moved via the bingo sheet, and also all which was loaded was still here. You will find two boxes of nonperishable foods that they inquired if they couldn’t sew along with a box having a Christmas tree also, therefore I said it’d not be any difficulty when they left these things boxed. I moved upstairs once they stated they had been finished to see that the queen mattress was not put together, mirror was not put back to the dresser, along with toddlers dresser was not finished being placed together, so I requested them to complete this, snd they did. While they have been doing this, I discovered a different box that they had placed in a cupboard, so I began to unpack itself. Ray thoughtthe box had been vacant and threw it at the lawn with my items still inside. It was evident that they were becoming exhausted, reluctantly, and we are rushing to escape from there. I was given forms to sign up and had been advised that they had been to affirm that everything out of your bingo sheet had been current. I signed, tipped them every $20, plus they all left. Once I fed my baby, I moved into the formal living space to find 6 more boxes not unpacked or lost. We paid to get a complete unpack, and that I had been ensured by Louis that each one of the boxes and packaging materials could be eliminated, which was not the situation. Additionally, I discovered a nightstand with a knob overlooking and using a bingo decal strategically positioned on a place using a major chunk of wood lost. Additionally they abandoned our patio furniture from the driveway. I determined I was not likely to generate a huge deal about it, because the men were very nice and considerate, and that I felt so bad that they’d done a lot hard work for people, despite the fact that it’s a service we’ve paid for. I’ve got a heart for individuals. The next thing that I did was try to wash clothing in my formerly perfectly handsome, two year-old washer, however water proof from the door, since it had been ruined. I contacted JK, and they’re supposidly sending a test to the fix. I made certain to say that I expected that this wouldn’t reflect adversely on Ray or another movers. The following day, I understood that many items from our home in Virginia weren’t here. I contacted my assumptions, who also affirmed that two of these rooms in our home hadn’t been packaged or transferred. Evidently, they would not be about the bingo sheet, even since they had been dismissed. Many garage things were also left. The products were wall images, carpets, hats, hard hats, eyeglasses, laundryand toilet paper holders, and related things, which worth roughly $400 to $500. The realtor also told me that the home was abandoned a wreck together with McDonald’s cups, moveing tape all over the floors, and light bulbs anywhere. My cleaning business called to notify me that our hardwood flooring had a area of harm. I phoned JKMOVING and voiced my worries, and that I had been told someone would phone me backagain. I got a call from Patricia along with Mr. Zell, that had me on speaker phone. Rather than an apology, a supply to cure my worries, I had been advised that it’s against the law for movers to be in my own home without somebody being there snd I was incorrect for letting them be there and also for giving them a secret. I had been advised that Louis had worked there for 20 decades and that he states that he never consented to some of our agreements. I had been told that they could fire Ray for thinking me. I had been spoken to quite rudely and was essentially scolded and called a liar. I attempted to get Lous personally, but that he won’t respond or return my calls. If that is contrary to the law, then why should they get it? I had been current before they packaged and clarified the strategy before it occurring. They had the chance right there not to take action. They might have predicted the office and confirmed that it was okay for us to not be there, however they did not. Nobody drifted inside the business, and it is not my fault. It’s my fault for expecting Louis, that I guess just needed the selling. I must have had that role in composing, but sadly, I did not. I learned a wonderful lesson from that I imagine, but it still isn’t perfect! I pleaded with Mr. Zell to please just be a human being and also allow me to send all of it here, but that he will not listen to it. In addition, he stated that despite the images delivered from Ray’s telephone, that I can not prove some of those damages. He explained I also must have read my own contact. What deal? Nobody can answer this question either. All I’ve before the relocation is a quote with fundamental info, confirmation mails out of Shirley with moving advice, and Louis’sword. Certainly, somebody awakened in my cost.

    Positively Horrible - Shady business practices

    Horrible experience and might not use again. Rather large move to brand new home, they broke numerous things to incorporate a extremely costly lamp $500+,and place in promise just to have it reversed following the movers assured I’d be reimbursed. They don’t give you the choice to purchase policy until after the transfer is complete. The box to pick it had been already”prechecked” because of me personally. I didn’t have an choice to choose any policy. The moving guide said to place in writing that the bulb broke and clearly confessed that it was the error. I appealed the promise conclusion and they still refused to cover. A dependable and honest company would have at least done something tight refund or something. They refused to refund even 1 penny. I wouldn’t recommend. I hope that the $500 that they have to keep is well worth destroying their reputation and most of the negative reviews.

    No Integrity, Theft

    Movers pilfered pricey jewelry throughout my international movement. Things have been in a space the movers were advised to not touch. Rather Dwayne took it on himself to fully pack the master suite unsupervised. Six weeks after our substance is sent to Europe and the unpacking starts and lasts for months.
    The rings my husband purchased for me because of our marriage are now gone along with their response to my promise is that I must have told them that they had been missing on the afternoon that the area was packed. How was I supposed to learn if they had been stolen or packaged? With this logic I need to have demanded that they remove the boxes in the truck and also sew them till I find my own rings. These folks hold you over a barrel and they take every benefit for themselves. You’re seldom so vulnerable as if 3 strangers are packaging up your property. I’m convinced they purposely distribute and rush so that you can’t watch all of them or capture them stealing.
    If it were not for my company demanding that the movers pack everything, I would not ever tolerate packers. Since it was, I shall absolutely REFUSE from the long run to ever let JK Moving to my residence.
    Do not rely on them to your own move.

    DO NOT USE FOR PCS

    JK Moving originally impressed us with their professionalism. They came into our house using an iPad to perform the quote and appeared to understand precisely what they were doing. My spouse is really a woodworker with various pieces of heavy equipment that need particular attention, therefore we provided photographs and weight quotes through e-mail and were confident that they can take care of these and that we would be well beneath our 17,000 pound allowable. We’d taken pains to purge, so maybe leasing a dumpster to decrease the sum that we’d proceed, and they’re the specialists, or so we believed.
    I had been leery when they refused to split out my specialist equipment, but they’d reassured me that we’d be under the permitted weight, therefore I did not carry on to protest that.
    Following the movement there was no reference of any overage, and only minor harm (hidden things here and there( however maybe not as bad as preceding moves).
    The job that I transferred for did not work out and we all needed to return in our own cost within 6 weeks. That transfer price $17,070 with Complete Moving Co. of Virginia Beach, VA, such as packaging and labour.
    22 months after I receive a note of government debt. While I make queries I am advised that J K Transferring billed the government for transferring over 45,000 pounds!!! That’s almost 3 times that my allowance!!! And obviously no expert equipment. Obviously, J K Transferring has already been compensated by the authorities, but I must cover the gap, over $23,000 of the debt. As soon as I tried to get J K Moving around the discrepancy, they stonewalled me. I’ve been appealing that the debt together with DFAS for the last two decades but my credit was destroyed by the debt along with my wages are garnished.

    If you’re delegated J K Going to get a PCS transfer, all I can recommend is do it all yourself. In case you’ve had a similar encounter with this particular mover, please contact me since I feel that this firm ought to be investigated for fraud.

    Will never use again

    I’ve utilized JK for about 5 motions. The first 3 moves I was rather impressed with the ceremony. The past two moves was dreadful. Two goes before, with 4 people it required over three hours to move a little 1 BD room apt by the apt into a storage location in precisely the exact same city. All furniture has been disassembled and no packaging was required. I asked materials to safeguard expensive furniture such as padding but they forgot to deliver. The lead inspector also known as me a couple of days afterwards and explained that he didn’t charge me enough and was going to need to add a few hundred dollars to my transfer, which I predicted and refused to perform. We assessed all amounts before my touch and all was covered.
    A couple of weeks before my final move in June, I looked at the boxes and boxes clearly indicated brittle were piled under boxes of novels. I equate this to using individuals who didn’t speak or read English. This last move wasn’t any longer than 3 kilometers and the only thing left was that the huge furniture. All other was already moved. It was understood how much was to be moved and that I had been sent 4 individuals for the movement for such a little load. I didn’t whine but recognized that it would complete before the 3 hour minimum. Impact? It took them 4 hours for the entire move. The employees moved like molasses in the winter. I simply couldn’t believe what I had been searching for. On the prior move a $2k pole lamp has been broken and that I recorded as a costly product. The mover this time was leveling the lamp head part one the ground as she was wrap the lamp, and that’s really where they broke it before.
    My furniture is more pricey Italian made with timber, and also the movers put tools (hammers and wrenches) along with my wood furniture if they were building. I needed to show them how to build the mattress and the dining table. I had been told when completed that the previous group from JK have to have dropped a number of those lock screws since they were not from the tote. But once they left I discovered them in addition to the dresser at which they had put them. Additionally, they didn’t tighten half of those lock screws, but just inserted them. A glass lamp color for one of those bed-side lamps has been broken also. Unsure if in the very last movers of this new dropped the box.

    I can’t feel the lack of quality I’ve observed. I won’t ever use again.

    Terrible company

    Terrible support. I was originally impressed with the sales man pitch, yet if the movers arrived the direct inspector John was disrespectful, rude and had a very real difficulty dealing with a girl seeking to tell him exactly what had to be achieved, actual ego issue. He could not comply with the easiest directions and ended up walking off the project. I’ve transferred at least 20 occasions and this was undoubtedly the worst moving business that I’ve ever managed.

    DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH JK MOVERS……THEY WILL LIE AND ARE an Entirely DISHONEST ORGINIZATION.

    I contracted by JK Movers to get a Maryland to Florida transfer.

    Below is the chain of events together with such folks:
    1. July 13, 2018 (Friday) — This has been the streaming afternoon for JK Movers. They put down a glue tape onto the rugs throughout the home. At conclusion of loading that day, the glue tape has been eliminated, and it was evident that there was an obvious colour change across the rugs. The moving manager took photos of the rugs and commented about the issue stating he’d follow. At that moment, the manager presented me with an JK Transferring kind saying it ought to happen to be signed until they began loading. In studying the kind, this is a waiver of accountability for flooring and floor damage. I explained I couldn’t sign since the rugs already had obvious damage.
    2. July 13, 2018 (Friday) – Following JK Moving abandoned, I predicted a rug cleaning service describing a crisis scenario, i.e. the carpets had to be cleaned ASAP because of the property closing and also walk-through the next Tuesday morning. The first available cleaning period could be July 16, Monday. The identical carpet cleaner had washed them a couple of weeks before prior to listing the home, i.e. the rugs were clean. Furthermore, I made a telephone message using Mr. Richard Rehling, JK Transferring Rep, tackling the transfer. In exploring the tape glue, this seems to be a frequent issue with its usage.
    3. July 16, Monday – Carpets washed. Following the cleanup, the cleaner found some climbing in some specific places. He stated it was common as a result of moisture and generally settled following a day approximately. But because the walk-though was that the next morning, he’d come first Tuesday, July 17, to test and re-stretch if necessary. The fee was 50. The complete cleaning bill was 580 that was compensated.
    4. I filed the 580 assert to JK Movers that was refused based on a promise which JK Movers were not permitted to inspect the carpet and didn’t authorize the carpeting cleaning. This is wrong since the moving manager took photos of the ruined carpeting in the time working on the issue. In terms of not authorizing, this is late Friday afternoon along with a crisis situation because of the property final Tuesday morning. Mr. Rehling was advised. The carpets needed to be washed on Monday
    5. I’ve told JK Transferring of this issue several occasions and was advised it had been reviewed with management. Read the other articles, this type of JK Moving ordinary contingency strategy…… JK Transferring put my home sale in peril through their neglect, and compelled me to cure their issue in a couple of hours before the home closure, so, incurring extra expenses. I’m in the process of submitting a Small Claims Court action on principle.

    Unprofessional and damaged goods

    Having moved seven times in 12 years we had been marketed on the sales pitch out of JK. Regrettably, they don’t deliver. This was the very unprofessional move I have ever experienced. From begin to finish it had been bad but on arrives at Charleston the team was inexperienced (actually the motorist complained about who he’d ). They fell the TV, dropped the vacuum, broke tables. What a wreck. Afterward, having lost the TV only provided 50 percent of it’s replacement price and also refused to cover the vacuum! They essentially gave me back my insurance premium. I didn’t even cash the check. I really don’t want the cash and can purchase a new TV and vacuumcleaner. However, I do want reputable organization to move me next time. Steer clear of this cowboy outfit!

    Ps, funnily JK also solicited my company to get a relo contract lately.

    Worst Move EVER!

    Ok, I am usually not one to perform reviews but my husband sent me a pic of our storage components being fulfilled during our movement. Just how many things can you find wrong with this film? And there is no telling just how much he did not see or the legitimate quantity of harm that has been done. 

    And of course, there were scrapes on our $4k rosewood mattress, the movers left our belongings unintended from the hallways, did quite a lot of bldg harm and broke the cargo elevator. Can I mention it took 4 men 8.25 hrs to transfer 3 heaps LESS stuff compared to three man crew JK Transferring shipped last moment? They simply took 10 hours and that included traveling time from C’ville into RVA? AND we had been going inside precisely the exact same bldg so that this technically was a simpler move than previously! 

    This was our 4th or 5th transfer with JK Moving and that I might have chalked it up to a bad encounter IF a manager had not called me for the only purpose of affirming my credit card number to cover the reminder of my invoice. No reduction of any type was given or offered when I requested b/c of those lousy service/damage. She also humored me seeing my”issues with the movement” after she affirmed said payment. 

    I didn’t have to be humored nor did I ask to talk to a manager. She acted like the movers did nothing wrong even though she’d pictures which proved otherwise! She was all about getting my money rather than about maintaining a loyal client of nearly 10 yrs. I didn’t have a problem paying more due to their assumed”high quality” services. I’ve a problem once I do not get exactly what I paid for!

    I used to urge JK Moving to everybody but NEVER again!

    JK Moving

    I’ve utilized JK Transferring several times previously and have had favorable experiences. I needed to proceed in the height of this COVID catastrophe and this moment , I had a dreadful experience. The direct mover explained that my moving quotation was too low to the sum I needed to move (although I’d less furniture because I’d asked the original quotation ) and that my move could exceed the hours allotted. He invited me to transfer many things in my own and they’d simply loosely pack the furniture because I did not have far to proceed. In the very start of the movement, he had been racing and broke a seat leg away by striking a doorway frame. I saw it occur. The whole movement was rushed in a bid to finish from the quoted time. Never once did I say concerns about funding but I felt intimidated by the inspector who had been determined to complete by a certain time. When seeking reimbursement to the seat that has been busted while PACKING (not even in transportation ), JK Transferring denied my claim. I had been advised that I must have bought insurance for my transfer (which BTW was three blocks away). Horrible, horrible, dreadful policy and that I regret recommending this business previously if that is their strategy to client services. Through time, I have spend at least $3-4K in movements together and the connection finishes over a $250 seat.

    Do NOT Use JK

    To begin with, this wasn’t an everyday movement, this is a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). That comes certain duties on the part of the mover and JK neglected every part. Communication was hopeless, there appeared to be no consistancy or suitable person to manage, their website says you are supplied with a”movement planner”, we sure were not. Many messages needed to be flashed into JK during their contracted estimator and still it fell on deaf ears.

    In their own site”Trained in our very own facilities, our fulltime crews will care for your premises and your possessions as though they were there own. Critical regions of the residence will be prepped prior to the movement to minimize harm, and each thing will be carefully wrapped and put and suitably boxed for maximum protection.” The packers were fine enough, however they slammed publications in using unwrapped classic silver products , they abandoned things in desks, drawers, file cabinets, plastic boxes and where else they were able to have done faster. Furniture wasn’t wrapped and secure. The pickup driver was mad in their occupation when he came. He needed to do a terrific deal of packaging, but there was a deficiency of packaging materials.

    When the merchandise arrived at our new house the delivery men pulled off lots of broken things and they stated with a few only glue it. Not acceptable. This was mentioned about a classic harpsichord and the negative has been totally broken off, dividing up the soundboard.

    Beds should be put up too. However, in spite of my handicap which causes acute back pain, I had been made to prepare the beds. The delivery men stood and watched as I did it. I’ve been not able to locate newspapers and items like my auto title (I know I must have ensured that myself) since nothing is where it ought to be. Papers from file folders and off my desk have turned up with things from the drop and my kid’s room. Apparently where they can stuff them to use as wrapping and packaging materials.

    Several things were mentioned as damaged on shipping and also we had been told someone would call us soon about settlement or repair, nothing occurred. We registered a claim on 7-17-2011 that comprised our dining table leg broken completely off, dining chairs with legs broken off, a lamp made from rock from Mt Fuji (they cannot take rock from the mountain to produce things or for fixing things ) and also nothing. I predicted a month following the appraiser came out and got an email that by contract that they have 60 days to produce a settlement deal, but that you could be coming per week. Nothing. Now I am prepared to wager that any deal will be a low-ball one and that’ll drag on for months or even years in solving.

    Should you really care anything about your things do not use this organization. Supposedly individuals on PCS are far better shielded than the normal client, so if they’d do all these things to people suspect how they’d treat anybody else. Money can not replace or correctly mend my things, so beware of JK Moving.

    Move my archives Sept 3, 2018

    I took the help of this JK estimator for the most recent move. He gave me a quote for about $2500, which I believed was reasonable. Not inexpensive, but honest. Therefore I gave him the $200 reservation fe, also then he went on summer holiday. Terrible move.
    A week after the team showed up with a enormous truck, 4 men, and wished to know where to get started. I informed them the writings were all in the walkout basement, therefore that I laboriously (I’m handicapped ) went down to reveal exactly what was being transferred. Half of it had came from a studio that I shut for about $883 using JK, and a lot of the remainder was already boxed, since it also had came via JK rather than been unpacked.
    They started moving out things, and at one stage the team leader came up to ask about’packaging’ and I inquired what has to be packed? He stated they had to bribe tables for transportation.
    I said alright, so that he returned into the cellar and 20 minutes after, I moved down to find out what progress they were producing.
    I was looking forward to discover a man working through a heap of 28 parts of 20×24″ half inch Gatorboard by closely wrap every single slice in newsprint. The bits were employed for mounting photographs, and weren’t delicate. I inquired what he had been doing, but abruptly understood he spoke no English and that he was merely serving as a set of handson. My strategy was to outside the whole stack in one box, since Gatorboard remains mild.
    It took them indefinitely ( 7 hours) to coincide together along with my boxed substance, which was later pointed out not to fulfill their truck. I was not certain where they were moving however, as I had been waiting for a representative to return to me, so that I had them visit a storage location at Frederick approximately 14 miles off. I leased a 13×30′ unit, also as 6pm approached that they got very slow.
    It ended up being a replica of this slowpoke morning wrap etc, as a single guy delivered small boxes and only sheets of gatorboard outside to lean from the ides of this container.
    I needed to attend a conflicting appointment, therefore I don’t have any idea when they really finished. JK states that it was 9pm, and also combined with their most recent quote, has been a bill for nearly $6000, over twice the quote.
    Being an idiot, I won’t return. Another business will drain the container.
    Today JK is pushing me to your balance due in their outrageously costly invoice. I had been ready for a invoice as large as $3000, maybe not twice that.
    So beware of the real work. If they hadn’t wrapped individual things and rather place all of them in 1 box, then the procedure would have taken a good deal less time and saved big bucks. If they had been hoping to anger me, then they did a wonderful job.
    God forbid anything s damaged, since they deceive you with their own insurance – if they did not pack your belongings and they break a thing, insurance won’t pay. I don’t yet know if anything else is broken, but I can assure the readers that the Gatorboard is going to be OK, and in any instance, it can readily be substituted for about $200. Obviously my Gator is currently the very expensive mounting board ever.

    Poor Packing Service

    While the moving agency was professional, the packaging service was rather lackluster.
    They delivered over two inexperienced and untrained packers who could not speak English and they had been accompanied by an English-speaking manager who had been largely absent. About two hours to the job the manager made a whistle stop by my place and stated they ought to complete by 2:00 or 3:00 O’clock. They ended at 6:00. What’s more, the boxes were packaged quite inefficiently, which ran up the box count. (For instance, once I unpacked I discovered just one shot glass wrapped using a complete huge sheet of inspector’s wrap paper.) Considering that JK Moving prices by the hour and also the ship count, the fees far exceeded the quote. I feel as if I bankrolled a coaching course for JK Transferring’s packers.
    A fantastic indicator of a company institution’s commitment to their company is their answer when things do not go well. I’m sorry to say that JK Transferring failed miserably in this respect. Several efforts that I made to get to the decision makers at JK Moving went entirely disregarded, forcing me to submit a dispute during my credit card business. JK Moving, at a loss for a debate, resorted to lying to my credit card company and telling them which I raised the reach of the job. I suggest dodging this cagey outfit in favor of a much more reputable enterprise.

    Everything was going nicely until AFTER our final payment has been made, (shocker).
    After the driver/truck pulled up and the driver had a problem opening the doorway to where our possessions where as the truck had been packed so full with two other families possessions, we knew that this could not be fine.
    We had been right, just two of those dining room seats were defeated and were ruined, the springs had deciphered and the timber was cracked.
    JK was quickly in return to us and telling us where to locate the claim types and telling us just how sorry they were.
    Long story short, a 24 test was delivered to us because of their error saying we didn’t subscribe to the policy required to guard our furniture in full.
    What did we cover this enormous shifting fee for??
    It is a shame since we trusted this business with our treasured possessions.

    JK Vastly under quoted this move

    JK’s moving team was punctual, and professional, considerate, and helpful. The problem was that their earnings man, Albert, that significantly underestimated the amount of person hours necessary to package. The outcome? The movement has been WAY more than what had been quoted. The JK moving team said that JK must have supplied packers to package before moving day. I asked this and/or a fourth person on the team and Albert ignored my concerns before the movement and promised me that this was not essential. The day following the move once I readdressed this dilemma depending upon the number of hours above the quote that the men had to operate, Albert STILL ignored my concern. In addition, before the transfer Albert along with Renee, (JK’s sales planner ), were informed that the products were being transferred into a house which was remodeled. JK supplies a 10 day interval to unpack and inspect. As soon as I asked extra time to unpack and confirm that I had been advised no extra time could be awarded. Lesson learned: Use Town and Country Movers at Maryland. While their quotation was high, they had been obvious that a four team team could be required and the price per hour is far lower than JK. My second move from another home won’t be JK.

    JK Moving Company

    I picked JK Moving since they’re allegedly an employee owned firm with a stake in quality client services. While their administrative and marketing staffs are extremely professional, in which they fail is using the regional crews they employ to fill and load furniture. The loading team ruined the brick brink of the home dragging dollies over it, even though I was informed after that company policy prohibits using dollies from the home. The loading team was inexperienced in transferring large furniture and ruined walls coming from the staircase. Tired of all, in unloading it had been apparent lots of pieces of fine furniture had been destroyed in transit – a busted wooden table leg, table shirts dangling in their foundations, scratches and chips of wood overlooking, rub marks onto adjacent parts of furniture etc.. I had explicitly said that preventing damage to furniture has been my leading transferring dilemma (not price!) , but that didn’t appear to matter. The loading took over 14 hours (9Am to 1:30AM another day). The driver led the group and needed to steer the motion of the furniture in the home, in addition to package the truck. Certainly they had at least two people with packaging and moving experience with this particular 24,000 pound proceed. Damaged furniture has been the result of the shortage of attention and time for packaging.   A number of the unloading team was excellent and cautious, others put poles clearly marked”fragile” with arrows indicating”upward” under other significant boxes and onto their sides or upside down. At least a half a dozen bookshelves needed the help hooks to the shelves overlooking. While the vehicle driver and his main assistant were quite agreeable and tried to create things go well, the packaging of the furniture wasn’t performed well. To get a movement costing over $13,700, I expected much better maintenance. For all these reasons, I wouldn’t suggest JK Moving Business.

    Packing and moving our house!

    Working with this business was quite simple start to finish. The packers and movers were prompt, professional and the price was quite economical!
    We’ll be using them again for the next part of our transfer!
    Highly suggest JK movers!

    JK is the Best!

    JK Moving Services transferred my wife and I from Hamilton, Virginia into Purcellville, Virginia at 2018. This was the first time time JK has transferred us within the previous twenty decades. It had been another fantastic experience.

    We had been in that home in Hamilton for nearly 15 decades. We obtained quite a lot of things at the moment. Besides a 7 bedroom home, we had a garage, barn and many outbuildings of gathered possessions. Our materials comprised antiques, musical instruments, etc. etc..

    Everything was packaged with caution. The crews were superb. The group worked tirelessly to get 12 hours and that our movement has been finished in 1 day. The group was professional and friendly. Eric Vislay, our relocation coordinator was exceptional and seen throughout the movement — even brought donuts for its group.

    My wife is among the greatest selling realtors in Loudoun County. She’s only recommended JK for her customers for more than ten years.

    Due to Chuck Kuhn and each team member in JK Moving Services. We all got us through a different movement and we’re going to be eternally thankful. A fantastic value for the price!

    Excellent experience

    I came online to find reviews of different moving companies and has been amazed to discover such a negative review of JK Moving.
    I had such a fantastic experience with JK the final time I moved that I’ve asked them to come back and give us a quote for our second one in a couple of weeks.
    We did all the packaging ourselves to spend less. We’re just moving around town, therefore no long-distance or storage transportation was required.
    I requested them to ship at least 1 man on the team that spoke English well – that they did this. The 4-man team was quick and productive. They place 1 man in the kitchen to pack our items in there & another 3 worked on draining the home. From the time they had been completed, the kitchen was prepared to move – they came at 0800 and we pulled away in the old home in 1230.
    They stopped for lunch & met me in our new home in 1400. They put down things to protect the carpeting in the house and unloaded everything in about two hours.   Though only 1 man on the team was fluent in English, the remainder talked sufficient to ask questions & understand answers about where which boxes & things went. My piano was not even out of tune!
    In the Entire thing, just 1 plate has been broken.   1 plate. That is it.   The experience was exceptional, with zero problems in Any Way.   I expect exactly the identical knowledge in my next movement.

    Excellent service

    Two days past JK Movers came on time in our condo in Old Town, Alexandria. The three men began to work instantly. They functioned nonstop all day. Not only were they really considerate and cautious with our possessions, but they were amazingly fair. My husband had, a couple of days before, inadvertently dropped a jar filled with collectors’ silver and gold coins on the bedroom floor; we believed we’d picked them all up and returned them into the jar. Apparently we’d missed an whole few that had rolled way beneath the mattress. Mario came to the living room where my husband and I had been doing last minute packing of personal items and handed us the coins he’d discovered. Obviously, we were overjoyed and astonished; just how simple it could have been for him to have pocketed the change. We’d have been none the wiser. In our destination 40 miles off, the team was very patient with us if we changed our heads and requested them to reposition a bit of furniture here or there. Thank you JK Movers; you are the very best.

    JK Moving

    After being advised that our new house wasn’t prepared to move into in the last moment, I had been feeling very stressed.  JK Moving was the one thing that went directly during our movement.  Our movers showed up on short notice to package my belonging up and saved them for me until our new house was prepared.   They have been about time to pack up me and move me in. They worked fast and economically; making certain that all of the boxes have been put in the ideal rooms.  They also did a fantastic job at constructing the furniture that’s a very pain, particularly the beds out of Ikea.  Thank you a lot for all of your help.

    JK Moving is your best. They came in the time that they explained, worked hard while there, accommodated easily to a few my last-minute asks, were so careful with all my belongings, also upfront about scheduling and prices. I received a call in JK’s admin while the team was in my house, asking if matters were so satisfactory — they had been. They’ll save my things until I find my second house. There was a slight glitch about a few of the smaller prices, however they immediately corrected that (otherwise they would be ideal, and we all know nobody is). Another reason why I picked JK, aside from their excellent evaluations from Washington Consumer Checkbook, is that they lead in many different methods for their regional communities. I appreciate this highly.

    Great Experience

    My experience began back in October heading out becoming Bids on various moving companies. By the time that the salesman arrived and introduced himself, and we picked JK. By the time the team came to pack up us, until the crews brought our belongings to our new house, everything was always on stage, good communications involving moving office and team,Professional Polite, Courteous, Respectful, and on top of that, ON TIME. I’d recommend them to all of my Loved Ones and friends, Fantastic JOB JK MOVING SERVICES, I see where most of the NICE ACCOLADES FROM, MBW 12-15-2018

    JK Moving did a great job

    We hired JK Movers to transfer the contents of a 1 bedroom flat in Arlington into our house in Chantilly. They did a wonderful job. Every facet of the movement was well-executed. They came on time, dealt with a sudden delay in access to the loading dock easily, packed everything fast… what that I was most impressed with was how firmly they wrapped up furniture. Heavily bundled in blankets wrapped in transferring tape, the furniture has been super-protected. There was simply no way it might be scratched or otherwise damaged. The wrap also averted the usually inescapable dents and scrapes on the walls of the property.

    Kudos to Miguel, Juan Carlos and Carlos to get an Fantastic experience.

    Awesome Experience!

    I hired JK to maneuver my home out of Montgomery County to Northern Frederick county. I downsized from a 4500 SF home into a 1600 SF home. Even after weeks of me de-cluttering, devoting and packaging, I still had a great deal of things to handle. JK showed up on time, with 6 men and two trucks. They managed it all!! Every member of this group was friendly and helpful – and that they had been having fun!!! Not once did I find some of these diverted by their telephone or social websites — they functioned!! No product was too small, no request too big. They handled everything quickly and economically. Fantastic packaging – nothing was broken, and they required extra care to safeguard everything. It was a really long day and they really came through for me! I am hoping never to go again, but when I do, I will employ JK Moving again!
