TOTAL RIPOFF!!!!!!! It would take about 2 days for me to name all the ways this company ripped me off but I'll try to keep it short and simple. I literally moved 50 yards away from my old apartment to another apartment in the same complex. Please tell me why my total invoice was $1000+ for a one bedroom apartment!!!!! On top of that, while moving one of the movers asked for something to drink, ummm dude EVERYTHING is packed up!!! Then he asked could he run to the nearest 7-eleven, HELL NO, I'm paying by the hour!!! I was so fed up! There were clearly trying to get over on me because

This is to give you an update on Best time movers. They have changed their name to Green time movers.
The old reviews are still on Yelp
BEWARE BEWARE do not let this company fool you.
I believe that the recent reviews under their new name are fake.
The Attorney General knows about the company and their ways.
Call them or him Brad Barlow has a big file on them. They change their names and has false reviews

Where are the zero stars?
It was so bad that I took them to court. It was a hellish move and they double charged me, held my stuff hostage, and didn't even finish the job. I took them to small claims court and, after a long battle, I won and was reimbursed. Save yourself the time,money and effort and use any other moving company but Best Buy. Simply the worst.

This company is the worst ever. I moved from MD to NYC, and they quoted me $2000. When they got to NY, they would not unload my stuff unless I gave them another $1000 - in cash. They held my stuff hostage! I should have called the cops but I caved. The people at the office were horrible and the movers were clueless. I think they picked them up by the road side. Please, never ever use these people. I reported them to the BBB but it seems they are still in business.

Just don't. These people are the worst. It's a total bait and switch. The amount that they charge for supplies is unreal. The quote went up $600 from the phone to when they took a look at my items.
The time that they quoted that it would take was high, but it was the day of my move, and I felt stuck. It seemed like they were taking their time and stayed just 5 minutes into the next hour. I had to pay the whole thing.
I filed a claim with them after they snapped the leg off of my coffee table. It was conveniently hidden behind other boxes so I didn't see it until after they had

This was THE WORST moving company I have every used!!!
They DESERVE NEGATIVE ten stars!!!!!!!
I have moved a few times in the DC/VA area! They quoted me $300 to move my one bedroom apartment, which is basic. All I own is a queen size bed, a small dresser, a glass kitchen table, and a coffee table and 2 end tables. The guy who showed up, Pirvor (all I have is his last name), said that it would cost approximately $900! I called the company and spoke to Ashley who stated that would be the cost. I told them to forget it. I will figure it out and find other movers and she stated that I would have

THE WORST COMPANY OF ALL TIME! If i could i wouldnt give a star...My move they arrived late due to the truck breaking down no one called me i had to call them several times to get updates. I was scheduled for 8-9am and they showed up at 2pm. The manager i am assuming was on of my 3 guys and did just about nothing but hold a clip board and try to charge me $700 for a small move when i was quoted $300. This is a rip off. They didnt apologize for being 7 hours late or try to help me out with free wrapping of items. They instead tried to nickel and dime me after they started to move things on the truck

Words cannot describe the amount of HELL this company has put me through. Like the other reviews they deserve zero to negative stars for their lack of professionalism, rudeness, and all around inability to run a company. Calling the company was worse than getting teeth pulled WITHOUT anasthesia! We were quoted about $1100 for a piano move which was the lowest quote we could find. When the movers arrived the quote immediately jumped up to $1700! I have no idea how that happened because we only had ONE item, a piano so there should've been zero surprises. They knew what the item was, where

DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! That low bid they give you is bait and switch. My daughter had almost exactly the same experience as below. They jacked up her bid from $595 to over $1600. She is a law student and when she informed them of the illegality of what they were doing...they cut and ran, leaving her stranded. I have no idea how these people are still in business or how they have escaped prosecution.

I called to get a quote for an extremely small move, i.e. an efficiency apartment to a public storage unit less than 3 miles away. the initial estimate seemed fair enough given the circumstances. It was $365 I believe, which is their minimum of 3 hours work plus 1 for travel.
The day of the move.
I took off work in order to get everything prepared for them to arrive at 3 pm. At approximately 245 pm I get a call from the foreman saying they weren't going to make it because there was an accident on the beltway earlier and they were still moving their morning job. Rescheduled for first thing

Used this company once and had a TERRIBLE experience.
The initial estimate came out way less than what I was actually charged. There were charges for most moving materials (tape, wrapping paper, even blankets!), charge for transit time between their warehouse to where I was moving out and for transit time between where I moved in and their warehouse and even fuel surcharge.
When I got upset with the unexpected charges and expressed it to the head of the team of movers, he left trash in the elevator for me to dispose of.

I've never had the need to write a review on Yelp, but this company has truly inspired me to do so.
First of all, DO NOT HIRE THEM!
After that's been established you should know that the first time you call they will be very nice (don't let them fool you) and lie to you about all the hidden charges that will show up in the contract that they will email you.
Then the guy that goes to your place (if you get the same one I did) is going to be VERY VERY RUDE and mistreat you every way he can. After the mistreatment, you will start the paper work which will show a price more than double

I wish i could give this company ZERO stars. I should have done my research first.
On Fri. June 3, 2011, "Metro Van Lines" first arrived to my apartment stating they couldn't find the loading dock. I told them exactly where the dock was, but then the driver stated to me on the phone "Good luck with your move. Have a nice day." then hung up. I immediately called the company to complain, only to be spoken to by a very nasty and unprofessional woman who would not give me her name. I sent my family member downstairs to the dock, and when my family member went down to meet them

Simple, DO NOT USE THEIR (TERRIBLE) SERVICES.
I would have given them negative stars if possible. A terrible experience that mirrors the other reviews on this page, except that I did not have the wherewithall to call the police. I was told that for 4 hours and moving 2 miles the cost would be $375. After everything was loaded in the truck and we were at the new apartment, I was then told about $300 additional dollars in cost from materials and truck fees, and to get my stuff out they needed me to sign off -- I had no choice. The materials were used to protect such items as my mattress and couch

Should be called "Worst Time Movers."
They're basically extortionists. They showed up at my apartment with a truck that was too large, forcing them to park hundreds of feet away, which greatly increased the loading time. Before starting they rattled off a list of charges for everything they would do. I'm surprised they didn't charge me for the clothes they were wearing as required materials for the move. What can you do on move day though? Say, "No thanks, I just remembered I don't have to be out of this apartment by this afternoon. I'll just move everything

We moved with "Metro van Lines" in January, 2008. When looking for a moving company in the DC and MD area (we were moving a DC home and a MD home together into DC) we called around and Metro Van Lines and Best Time Moving gave us identical low quotes. We checked both out on the net and went with Metro because of a slightly more polished web site some other factors. We were wary because both websites had some identical language. When we asked Metro about this, they claimed to have nothing to do with Best Time and suggested that someone may have copied them. I was therefore surprised

If I could give Best Time Movers zero stars, I would. My experience is alarmingly similar to Barbara's account below.
My friend was moving from Clarendon to north Ballston. 2.7 miles. They quoted her $260. When she read through the material she was e-mailed, she was concerned about them charging her for packaging and called to explain she could package it herself. The lady on the phone said that it would just require bubble wrap and it would only be an additional $50 to package with that, so my friend was prepared to pay $310 for the move.
