Collegian Movers Inc

I can't say enough about how wonderful this company is. I gave them 3 day notice and they made the move completely stress-free. They were there when thy said they'd be and everything made it in perfect condition; including the piano. more

Collegian Movers moved us from Connecticut to New Jersey. I've been relocated five or six times in my career, and they were the best movers I've had so far. They were courteous, careful with how they moved the furniture, and on time. There were some difficult conditions for them as well, such as the weather and temperature. They kept a good demeanor throughout all of it. more

My son and I were both very pleased with Collegian Movers. The four men who moved us from Westport to Stratford were helpful, smiling, and charming. I would certainly use them again. Everything was absolutely great, and I was very, very happy! more

Movers broke several pieces of furniture, dropped boxes and broke antique china that can never be replaced. Brian at the main office was rude, and totaly unprofessional. I would never use them again. more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Bar NONE! We had a two bedroom apartment which we accessed via an elevator and were moving less than 10 miles away into a 4 bedroom house. We were quoted 5 hours for the move, approximately 600 dollars. They sent 3 workers who worked at a less than eager pace. Because we were in a city one person had to stay at the truck to guard the belongings, and another worker told us it was his first day on the job. When all was said and done, it was over 12 hours later, the legs on our dresser were broken, the wall was dented in the new house, and a light fixture had been ripped from the ceiling. They require cash payment, so I was prepared for 10 hours and was unable to pay the extra two hours. I was willing to let all of that go as the repairs were approximately 200 dollars for the damage and I didn't have enough money to pay for the extra time. As bad of an experience as that was, I wanted to move on. However things got much worse. After 2 weeks of settling into the new house, I finally got around to setting up my 64" Samsung plasma TV (paid over $2K for TV) which was in PERFECT working condition before the move. After hanging it on the wall, hooking up the cable and attempting to turn it on, it was obvious that something was very wrong. It had no picture, made a horrible humming noise, and upon closer inspection I could see a small crack in the glass in the corner of the screen. Upon learning of this damage, I have been calling the owner Matt for 3 days now, leaving voice mail messages and messages with the secretary Brian (who accused me of lying about the TV in an attempt to avoid taking responsibility), and have yet to get a response from anyone. I hired professional movers because I wanted professional help in moving my valuables by an experienced and careful crew. I am completely disappointed by my experience, but even more let down by the response from the owner and his employees. Choose a moving company that cares for your structure, belongings and takes responsibility when they make an error be it in a gross misestimate of the cost of the move, or damage to your valuables. DO NOT CHOOSE COLLEGIAN RESPONSE FROM Collegian Movers: The day before you moved I (Brian /Office Manager) called and confirmed with you (Alex). You were told the estimated price, your materials (TV Rental Box), and where the pickup and destination were. On 5/25/13 in the morning you were told the moving team would be there at 9:30 am. The start time on the job was 9:30 am. The driver/foreman of the job informed you again of the charges and asked if you wanted any additional coverage on the items. Alex decided he did not need additional insurance on his items. He had signed and dated the release of liability form, declined additional coverage, and signed I Alex have inspected all of my household goods upon delivery to my new residence. I acknowledge the receipt of all items in the same condition as prior to moving and release CMI of any and all claims.(dated and signed). I talked with Alex on the phone 06/12/13 he said the cable guys are at my residence and they said my 64in TV screen is cracked. Being a valuable item I replied that you said all items were in the same condition when we dropped them off over 2 weeks ago. Alex replied the cable man stated they didnt break it, it must have been Collegian. I stated to come in and fill out a claim form with pictures of the damage. Alex came in on 6/14/2013 and filled out a claim stating I was going to let it go but since my TV was damaged my screen door was as well. I took Alex claim and told him it would take 2 weeks. Even though people sign off declining coverage we still take limited responsibility based on the weight of the items. Based on this we issued a check to Alex on 6/26/2013. Alex if you have any other concerns please let me know. I have handled everything you asked in a timely manner, while remaining in contact with you. Collegian Movers wishes you the best in your new home. Brian Rizza Office Manager Collegian Movers more

Collegian in Milford provided us a very detailed quote to move our 2 bedroom home belongings approx. 10 miles but they did not want to come out and actually see our belongings prior to the quoting. Now I see why. In short the bill was double the original quote in the end. The initial truck was too small and the second vehicle was 6 hours late to move us in. These guys are the masters in ways of jacking the price by material usage and man hours to complete a simple move. I would never recommend them. Fortunately we packed alot on our own prior to the move or the final cost to move a 2 bedroom home may have been $6000. The enjoyable part was listening to the supervisor calculating the final bill. more

We packed a great deal ourselves and were pleased to come in several hundred dollars below the estimate. The guys were pleasant professional and fast. A very satisfactory move. more

The movers were excellent! They worked diligently and non stop. They didn't stop for chat sessions nor were they once heard using profanity. They asked questions as needed and got the job done. I have heavy and large furniture and never did I hear a negative remark. They conducted themselves as professionals and provided top quality work. I will highly recommend Collegian Movers to anyone and besides they have excellent rates! This was my first experience with movers and I was nervous but I am happy to say that it was a great one. more

Moving is a pain, but the Collegian Team made it fun. Congratulating them is a pleasure. more

Wonderful staff in the office and the three indivuduals who moved us. Professional, nice, pleasant movers who cared out us and our possessions. Wonderful to deal with. We did an in-state move and now will use them again for an out of state move in a few months. A must if you need to move!! more

We were extremely pleased with the quality of work, professionalism, and care that Clemente, Phil, and Ted showed. They showed up on time with a brand new truck that was very clean inside. They were extremely careful and we knew off the bat that we would not have to worry about our things. They were also extremely honest and when they found money they were quick to give it back to us. We thank Clemente, Phil, and Ted and would gladly have them move us again in the future! Thanks for a worry-free move! more

We were extremely pleased with the crew on site ~ they were very courteous, professional, prompt, careful and timely with the move. I would definitely recommend Collegian Movers ... an exceptional company! more

Phil, Jason, and Frank did an excellent job in moving me into another residence, with much going into storage. They came in below estimate and were very careful with everything. Well done. more

Many thanks to Collegian Movers for taking such great care of us! They did such a great job on our first move a year ago that it was a no-brainer to use them again when we moved into our new home. Once again, all of the movers were extremely professional, diligent and so careful with our belongings. Warner did a masterful job heading up the project. We will definitely recommend them to all our friends! more

my third job done by collegian. seamless moves. excellent work. more

This is an especially professional and proficient company. I needed furniture moved out of a home on very short notice and Collegian Movers agreed to my timetable. In fact, they agreed to do the move the very next morning. The movers, Phil and Claude, showed up on time, they were extremely courteous, they were creative in solving problems and they treated my furniture with the utmost of care. I would definitely use them again and i would recommend them to anyone with a moving need. more

Moving is tough and stressful and these two gentlemen were extremely professional and did a great job. They were smart, skillful movers and worked very hard, working well into the later hours of night. On the back end, I can say that nothing was broken or scratched and everything was placed very well in the new house with no issues. I hope to not move for a long time, but if I do, I don't even have to think about where I'm going. My only constructive feedback is for them to do an inspection before (to more accurately estimate the potential time involved) or add another person to the team, because the move took well over 12 hours and it was a late night. Me and these two gentlemen did the work of 4-5 guys. But they nailed it and did a great job. more

On time every time. Professional, courteous, thoughtful, hard working and sensitive to both goods and customer. more

I have never enjoyed moving, (who does?!?) but my experience with Collegian was outstanding. The movers were punctual, efficient and professional taking great care with all of my belongings. And the bonus was that they were really nice guys and I found myself actually enjoying the process! I would recommend Collegian to anybody, in fact I have already! Thank you! more

Moe and Warren were absolutely wonderful. We has a wonderful experience and will recommend this company to everyone. Thank you for making this move a pleasant experience. more
