Ed’s Moving & Storage

We had to move at the last minute, and I was able to schedule with Ed’s Moving with less than a week notice. The day of the move, there was chaos at our apartment complex — there were roofers on the surrounding buildings with a crane and large construction vehicles blocking access to our apartment. On top of that, Ed’s had a mover not show up for work — so they had to get someone else to come in. All of this initial chaos had the movers a little over an hour late — which they did NOT charge to us. From that point on, the move could not have gone more smoothly. Mike and Albert were focused, friendly, and made fast work of our relatively small move. They handled all of our possessions with obvious expertise, quickly and safely moving things that we couldn’t even figure out how to get through the door!
All in all, an extremely positive experience — which is hard to say about «moving day». I would recommend Ed’s to anyone, and will definitely use them again the next time we move.

I’ve used them twice and each time just as advertised. Outstanding service and very, very affordable. Both crews that showed up were professional and very careful with our stuff. I will never use anybody else.

I moved with Ed’s a year a half ago and they did a good job. So, I called them for this move last week. What a huge difference. I don’t know if it’s immersion in the Allstate culture; but it was obvious that they didn’t care about our belongings. They showed up with a bad attitude: rude and obnoxious. The driver, Roger, was really just interested in leaving as soon as he arrived at eight a.m. I actually felt a little bad for his crew, who did their best, but with that kind of «leadership» well, you can imagine how the day went — very badly. I especially like the way he threw my belongings into used boxes with dirty tennis shoes on top of my daughter’s earrings and sweaters (even though I requested ten boxes and a packer ahead of time). I was given used/​dirty boxes, with the items literally thrown into them. I have not opened all of the boxes yet… but am sure looking forward to more atrocities by this «certified» packer (certified to pack what? I would like to know? crayons maybe?). I will NEVER use this company again!!!

I hired this company because of great reviews I read on Unilocal.Scott came out the day after I called and gave me an estimate. I felt comfortable after talking to him and was excited that I wouldn’t be the one moving all the boxes! Our actual cost was close to the estimate. I looked at the receipt later that night and the men wrote that they came to my house at 8:00am, when they actually came at 8:30. A half hour off is pretty significant when I am paying $ 97 an hour to move. I called the day after and talked to Matt who said he would call me back after he looked into the situation. Two days later, I called back again because I heard nothing. Again he assured me that he would call me back. I never heard anything. I have a hard time supporting local businesses when the customer service is poor, and they steal my money.

We can’t say enough positives about this company! All of the communications were very professional, starting with the first contact we had with the company over the phone, to the face to face meeting with Matt when he came to give us an estimate, and then finally, with the guys who came and did the actual move. Matt went over and above what we would have expected in terms of communication and overall helpfulness. Giving a «5» star rating is nothing we take lightly, so know with that rating we would recommend this company to our closest friends and family. THANKS GUYS!

I just completed my move with Ed’s and I would have to go out of my way to find one bad thing to say!
The three gentlemen they sent were all extremely professional, personable, and courteous. I’m military and paying out of pocket to move closer to JBLM and the price was great and worth every penny. I highly recommend you use Ed’s and tell your friends about them.
Great job and I look forward to using them in the future.

By far the best moving company I have ever used. That is not said lightly as I am military and have moved quite a few times over the years. They will go beyond their way and help you in any way to accommodate you. Matt was very courteous and the movers were professional. Their rates are also reasonable even moving on a weekend. Highly recommend these guys!

Two weeks ago I sent Matt an email requesting an estimate for a cross-​country move.
Unfortunately I never received a reply. It’s hard to do business with someone who doesn’t want your business.
«Eek! MeThinks not!»

By way of contrast, I also contacted Super Friends Moving (see their Unilocal reviews) and they had an estimator in my apartment the next day.

I hired Ed’s to move me and my fiancé, from separate locations, to our new home, located between the two. When the job turned out to be far bigger than anticipated, the company manager (Matt) sent additional trucks and crews to ensure that our move finished on time. Just as important, he stayed in constant phone contact with me so as to minimize the inherent stress of the situation. To a man, all of the movers were genial and kind; and, boy, did they work their asses off.
It’s fairly uncommon to encounter such exceptional service (especially at so fair a price) as I received. I endorse/​recommend them to anyone contemplating a move.

I just made a long distance move, by myself, to a place new to me. Thus, I had no help from friends or family with the unloading of all my stuff (and I have a lot of stuff for just one person). Thankfully, I was able to narrow my search for helpers down to a couple of highly rated local moving companies due to this wonderful lil’ thing called Unilocal.Of the two companies I contacted, I chose to hire Ed’s, as they offered the best price, and were the most reassuring when working on a plan & schedule with me. Although all kinds of things went wrong with other aspects of my move, and I therefor had to change the details w/​Ed’s several times, I must say that I am quite impressed with the performance of everyone involved, from the manager to the movers. Matt, the manager, was always gracious and understanding, and met every curve I threw him with a «can do» attitude. The movers were great as well — they showed up early (even though I showed up late), and made real quick work of moving all my items, and arranging them as I directed. Incredibly, it only took two guys a couple hours to move what took me and my friends two days… They finished the job well under what I had estimated — and I must say again — they were fantastic guys to work with. I gladly gave them considerably more than they asked for payment, and assured them I would be calling them again for my next move. With that said, I highly recommend utilizing the services of Ed’s. They know what they are doing, and they are capable and willing to adapt to any issues that may surface throughout the course of your move. Note that I tend to be really picky about services & products, and I usually don’t leave a review unless it’s of something either absolutely stellar, or just plain wretched. I’m confident vouching for Ed’s — this is money well spent, people.

My husband and I recently moved and I wanted to let everyone know what a wonderful experience we had using Ed’s Moving & Storage. I got three price quotes in total and Ed’s provided the most affordable quote. Based on price and how long they have been in business we decided to go with Ed’s. We were nervous because we weren’t quite sure what to expect with our move.
We found that the staff was very courteous, resourceful, and the actual price was only $ 20.00 off what we were quoted for the move. I am so impressed with the customer service that we received all around!
I am one really happy customer and I would HIGHLY recommend Ed’s Moving & Storage!!!

Ed’s M&S was a great team to work with. Very professional and they got the job done! Everything was done right.

We used Ed’s for our second time this Spring. We’ve moved quite a bit over the years and have tried out a number of «pretty good» movers locally and a couple of horrible ones (One other company threatened to leave all of our stuff on a truck because it was «too hot to unload» the day we moved-​I had to call a friend and unload the truck ourselves). Not Ed’s. They’ve been great both times we’ve used them. Both moves ended up going a bit faster than estimated which saved us some money. The movers were professional, friendly and careful with all of our things. I’m certain we will use them again whenever our next move comes up.

I hired Ed’s Moving & Storage to move my household from Tacoma to south Seattle. They did a great job, were efficient and very friendly. They listened to me when I pointed out several pieces of furniture that I wanted them to be particularly gentle with– even taking off their belts so as not to scratch them.
I hadn’t packed as much as I thought, but the movers picked up where I left off with incredible speed — and no broken dishes!
Unexpectedly, the closing on my house was delayed a week, so they stored it for me, delivering a week later.
Moving is nerve racking for anyone, but they made it seem effortless! I would use them again in a heartbeat.
