What Customers Say About Virginia Cross Country Movers
Affordability is only as good as the team behind it. Cross Country Movers didn't offer the cheapest rate out of... read more the bunch and normally the areas I can save money I go with.. BUT! I've learned some lessons over the past years dealing with the cheap movers. Its not so cheap when things break or turn up missing. Thats a whole other story though. Getting back to what I was saying - Cross Country looked reputable online and sounded reputable over the phone but one can never be too careful these days. I asked quite a lot of questions before making any kind of appointment. Once I felt like they like they knew what they were talking about I set up the first appointment which was a free quote. A mover rep came into place and looked at everything I wanted to move. That's how they gage price here. It's better than doing the over the phone thing and getting a price that changes so I understood why they did it. My sister had loved her time in Cleveland but it was time to get her back home and I'm glad we picked this place together. They worked like they hard our best interest in mind and not theirs. read less
Cleveland5/23/2017Don't let their name fool you. These guys can provide excellent local moves too. I used them for hopefully my... read more last move into a house in Santa Ana. Had been in a condo and needed a bigger place. They handled the move well and was impressed by the initiative the crew had. Their pricing is what attracted me to giving them a shot. I will be recommending them to friends and family who need a moving company. read less
Santa Ana11/12/2015I decided to move to Florida from Southern California. I needed to find a mover. I found Cross Country Movers.... read more My salesperson was Chris L. Oh my what an angel I found. Walked me through the total procedures , helped me do my paperwork. Gave me an incredible quote for my furniture and my car. Was almost as involved and I was in my move. Today 9/23/16 I had a pick up and load my items. They sent me Robert ,David and Wifredo. They were fanominal. Professional , fast,caring and so pleasant to be around. I have moved a lot in my 58 years but never seen what I saw today. The eat they packed my items was fabulous. Never seen a mover pack and wrap like Cross Country Movers. All of my stress of getting my items to Florida intact was swept away. No stress I feel that a huge move is going to be beyond great. The best decision I have made. Thank you Cross Country movers.

Santa Ana11/17/2016I finally got accepted to a uni in WA which I've always dreamt to be enrolled to and I felt... read more like that was my chance for a successful future while there are practically no opportunities for things like that at my home town. Cross country company helped me to move my belongings from home to the dormitory, thanks to their fast and efficient movers. Loved the ratio between price and quality which s awesome for the ones who have not that much money on their account available. Now I'm ready for the upcoming semester =) read less
San Diego2/12/2016Hired Cross Country Movers for my big move to Boston a few days back, was very much surprised with their... read more professional approach All I was expecting was for 3 movers to show up at my place and to prepare myself for a whole day headache. On the contrary I got an amazing and fast crew of movers who were paying attention, were focused on the moving and loading, no extra talks or long breaks, etc. My stuff was transported to me in excellent condition, got no damages or anything like that. They actually happened to have availability on my short notice, but make sure you still call in advance cause they might be booked if that's a very close date. Also, if you chose to pack yourself - put the havier items like books or journals in smaller boxes, otherwise they offer packing service. These movers have super cool wardrobe boxes which allow you not to go through folding and packing your clothes, it is just placed there right on your hangers. I am satisfied with their customer support, very friendly and problem solving. Thanks for my easy move! read less
Boston8/19/2015Cross Country Movers handled my move from Brooklyn, NY to Los Angeles, CA with care and quality customer service. I... read more had less than a month to move across the US and choosing this moving company made my life a lot easier. The customer service leading up to the move was impeccable for someone who had no idea what to expect for a cross country move. Even when I needed extra explanations regarding the insurance and I did a conference call with my mom with customer service representative, Patrick, Patrick was kind and made sure that we understood everything. Patrick was also my point person through out my entire move which I appreciated so that I was always speaking with someone that knew all the details of my move.The movers on both sides of my move were superior. I especially give a lot of credit to the gentlemen that moved me in Brooklyn. My point person was super friendly, explained the process to me, and had delightful conversations with me. They were beyond helpful and careful with my belongings. When my things arrived in LA, it was a short turnaround to get my things into my apartment (I used the company's storage facilities in NY which was free, until I found a place in LA). The movers in LA were also super kind and made sure that I had all of my items.Also, I used this company to move my car from Georgia to LA and everything was done speedily and with proper handling.I found Cross Country Movers on Yelp and I found that they had the most competitive pricing by a few hundred dollars.Overall, it was a blessing that I found this company to handle my move. I definitely recommend this company by far! You will receive kind and quality service. read less

I'm always moving somewhere so I... read more can say I'm a moving specialist ;) This time I moved from Los Angeles to Chicago and everything went so smooth!! All the objects were packed carefully and professionally so that nothing got scratched! The customer service was on a high level and I'm sure everyone's gonna like it! 5 stars from me! read less
Los Angeles5/15/2015I am one of those individuals who are very choosy when it comes to people handling my property and stuffs.... read more I have invested much in buying my stuffs and when moving I loathe people who break of destroy them. Due to this reason I have always stuck by Local Movers because they are professional in what they do and they are extremely cautious in everything they handle. I appreciate the moving my family. I am grateful. I will and shall use them again and again and again. read less
San Francisco10/06/2016Two weeks ago, my biggest concern was how I was going to get my properties moved from San Antonio to... read more Alabama. I did not have a particular relocation company because it has been my friend getting them prior to previous relocations. He wasn't around and I had to handle everything on my own. my friend advised me to check them out and make my choice based on what I saw. This turned out to be quite effective because I got to learn about this relocation company and eventually hired them out. Guys did everything carefully and absolutely hassle free. As I was referred through a friend I will be recommend you guys as well thank you so much!!! read less
San Antonio11/30/2016Easy to coordinate our move from Chicago to New York, even though we booked it last minute. Only one item... read more was missing (our TV wall mount) and they reimbursed us for it, even though it was less than the deductible. Very professional and easy to work with. read less
New York10/17/2017Receiving a reference to contact these guys for help on a move was the best thing that had happened this... read more week. It had been such a headache trying to tackle the whole thing down by ourselves and they were a huge help in getting all our furniture cleaned out of our old place and into the new one. The first two days they focused on emptying out the bigger pieces of furniture first and then packed up the smaller things.They had special crates reserved for different materials such as fragiles, clothing, and even special collectibles that we wanted to be shipped safely. These guys showed genuine care and effort in all aspects of their job, we were very happy with the men we were assigned. They worked countless hours without stopping just so they could get a head start on the next room. The basement posed the greatest threat as it was sort of dark and hard to navigate around in it. They managed to maneuver inside and move things around as they deemed fit, in about three hours the entire basement was empty and we had never seen it cleaner before. The gentlemen even helped us clean off the dust and spider webs that had built up over the years of our things just sitting there. Ultimately, such a pleasant service offered by these guys, would definitely recommend calling them. read less

I'm... read more not in any means a city person and have no clue why I moved here in the first place, but with all that said, I had a great opportunity to move up to Fort Bragg, California. A nice little small town right on the coast that would fulfill my lifestyle. Many Movers wouldn't I called wouldn't help me make the move except for one... Cross Country Movers, here in Los Angeles. They were super great and amazing workers. They made my trip go by so fast and ahead of time! They made sure that I got absolutely every one of my things up there in one piece. I didn't know what more I could of asked for in a mover. These guys went over and beyond and for that I say THANK YOU! read less
Los Angeles12/28/2016Looking for a storage facility to keep my belongings till I found a place of my own. I was staying... read more with a friend but she had to move back home to NY. So These guys were great from the beginning, They gave me a GREAT discount because I lived in the area and offered flexible payment schedule since I work off commission I dont have a set pay schedule. I had some electronics in there and they offered a heated unit at no extra charge. They were just awesome all around in working with me and making sure my belongings were safe while being housed there. read less
Boston11/30/2016When I was looking for a moving company it was quite hard to select a carrier knowing that I couldn't... read more really determine which one was a good one because they're all say that they're great and it's hard to see how long the lines which one is actually good because you can't tell how good or bad the company is besides looking at the reviews and that's what I did I ended up looking at the reviews through each company I decided to go with and I sure enough decide to go with this one and it was the best decision that I've made because the company absolutely treated me with hundred percent respect and it was absolutely just fantastic being able to work with this moving carrier because there was no problems everything was hassle free and I just want to thank you guys for the hard work read less
San Francisco10/19/2016Everything went as planned in our dealings with this pleasant group of movers. I've only moved twice and the last... read more company was a little too aggressive and had issues whenever I ask questions or asked them to be careful. They were also rude to my parents during the packing process, they were not interacting or communicating with me. They were not doing their work legitimately and it seemed like they didn't like what they were doing. However, when I moved for the second time and called this company and loved my experience with them. They were the total opposite compare to my old movers. They interacted with me and constantly asked me where I wanted out stuff to be placed, like the beds and couches. I wish I had called this company first, they were very reliable and such an easy group of workers to deal with. I recommend this place to everyone! They are efficient and really organized. I am very pleased with the service and definitely will call them again. Anywhere else you go to they will charge you a bunch of hidden fees and things for services you did not even request or want, but when I came into contact with these guys they completely outlined their plan of the move and asked me how I wanted to revise it any way. I chose to go with their idea because they knew better than I did how things should work and they began the move within the first day. read less
Santa Ana7/07/2016Great service! I hired Cross Country to move my vehicle from NV to NJ (over 2,500 miles). They had the... read more best price and the friendliest staff. They picked up my vehicle from my home and delivered it without any troubles. My vehicle arrived unscathed and right on schedule. I highly recommend Cross Country's services. If I ever need to move my vehicle again, I will definitely call Cross Country Movers. read less
New York12/13/2017Amazing, fast, efficient, professional, and great customer service. We had a terrific move, thanks to y'all! I first want to... read more start with how kind and welcoming your staff was on the phone, setting up the date and time for our big move! And all of your movers were so over and beyond helpful, we REALLY could not have made this move without you guys. We were looking for such a long time to get a moving company that would help lug all of our belongings to our new home in Bullhead City, Arizona. We also wanted to thank you for getting all of our stuff from LA to Arizona in one piece, we fortunately had zero mishaps and accidents thanks to you guys! read less
Los Angeles11/25/2016I recently moved to a different state and would like to thank Cross Country Movers for their professional service. I... read more am so relieved I didn't have to do all this crazy packing and folding the clothes.. It would probably take me forever. The movers were very polite and careful with every single item, they'd ask for any specific preferences, but generally I could tell they're very experienced. After they wrapped my furniture and put the rest of the stuff in various sized boxes, they loaded the truck and left. I got all delivered in 8 days, just in time as I have planned. Awesome customer service by the way. read less
Alburquerque8/15/2015My experience with this moving company was absolutely fantastic! The staff was very friendly and professional and handled my move... read more with care. I would definitely recommend using their services for anyone in the Philadelphia area looking to move out of state. No complaints whatsoever, job well done! read less
Philadelphia7/07/2016Moved with Cross Country Movers from NY to CO. That was taken care of on all ends, fast delivery was... read more a major plus for my particular situation. No troubles, no damages to my furniture after the move was complete. Nice hard-working crew, super helpful customer care rep and no extra charge when it comes to the bill! Definitely recommend these long distance movers. read less

Sam and his team do a great job. They work fast and are very careful with furniture. They were very helpful. Totally recommend! read less
San Diego9/29/2016I tried to get into contact with another company right before finding Long Distance online, you cannot imagine how happy... read more I was at the end of all of this. I was actually happy the first guys did not answer because it ended up with us having one of the easiest moves in decades. We were moving to a new house and a completely new city, things were changing in a fast pace and my parents wanted a moving company that could keep up with that. Within about twenty four hours someone arrived to our house to approximate the cost and length of the entire process. Shortly after that they began the move and now we have just settled into the new place. Could not be happier. read less

Brooklyn8/31/2017I relocated to LA from NYC for a new job and I was quite stressed about choosing a moving company... read more and the potential cost. I found this company and spoke to Grace who was fantastic - she answered my questions and e-mails thoroughly and effectively. We did inventory for a 1BR move and the cost was super reasonable - for a move of our size it was done by item so I suggest you make an accurate inventory list before you call to ensure you get an accurate quote. It does take up to 14 BUSINESS days for your items to get there, so plan ahead for the interim period. On moving day, the NYC team was FAST and super attentive. Diego (foreman) went above and beyond to ensure that our glassware and dishes were packaged safely. Within an hour or so, everything was done and in the truck. We received prompt e-mails/texts giving us updates on the progress of our inventory which helped in the interim. Finally, the team in LA was equally as fast and attentive. Jose (foreman) checked in and made sure that everything was placed where we wanted it to be. Everything arrived in great shape, not a scratch on any of my wine glasses/decanters or glassware. I'm sure the logistics for larger moves (homes/3 BRs etc) are more complicated, but if I have to make any more cross country moves I will be using CCM again for sure. If possible, try to work with Grace (moving consultant) - she was a rockstar! read less
Los Angeles3/24/2018Even though I did not end up using this company for my cross country moving needs, I was so impressed... read more by them and their customer service that it warrants a 5 star review. I worked primarily with Jake J., who was responsive, honest, and patient. He guided me through the process and followed up with me after we spoke on multiple occasions. When I asked him about a cheaper quote that I had received from a different moving company (they do their best to match quotes), he was honest with me about that particular company's reputation, providing me with links to unbiased and credible reviews (which were consistently poor and unfavorable). I know that some people may think that Jake was just trying to get my business, but he told me this: "Even if you don't use us, I would urge you not to use them. I'd be happy knowing that in the end you are in good hands even if it's not us." The main thing I gained from my interactions with Cross Country Movers was more knowledge. Moving can be stressful and confusing, but after speaking with Jake and asking him all sorts of questions, I feel much more confident in making moving decisions and choices. I truly felt taken care of with Jake. He was like my moving guardian angel! The only reason why I didn't end up going with Jake and Cross Country Movers was because my dad and brother are actually helping me out (the most cost effective option for me!). Jake was completely understanding and never seemed put-off by my decision-making. I recommend this company (and Jake) for anyone making a big move!! read less
Austin4/29/2017After months of waiting to get a call from my work to see if I'd be getting my promotion to... read more move the new headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, I got it. Then I knew what call I had to make next, and it was to you guys over at cross country movers! We schedule our moving date, early in the morning you all showed up and kicked some serious butt! You guys did all the packing and moving of my furniture and where it needed to go. I was very pleased with how you guys moved all my large furniture, were careful with it, and didn't scratch up the wall or damage anything in my old condo! You guys are great and there's no denying that! I do also want to mention to the boss of this company, that you got some of the most honest and respectful young men I've met in a while, and when you have great employees it really reflects the greatness of the company. I really appreciate the help and will refer you guys to my buddies! Take it easy boys! read less

Thank you Chicago Cross Country Movers for everything. read less
Chicago3/24/2016My parents and I , we decided to reunite and move to a big house where both our families would... read more feel at home, however the location is quite remote from our previous ones. I had to have a long journey with all of my belongings and This company was the one my parents highly recommended me to hire and I had absolutely no choice because of that. However, they've moved recently too and it worked out just right with their move and thus I felt I can actually rely on the company as well. And what's important they've already had a suitable route worked through for my parents who's just moved into the same house so it would be no trouble with getting there on time.The men who helped me to pack up my place and move my stuff from my location , they were awesome! I was pleasantly impressed with them takin THAT much care of someone's stuff and I hope I'll see you guys around when (or 'if') I'll be moving next time or maybe helping some close friends to move closer to us ;) read less
Dallas2/09/2016Overall, great service. This company is all you need if you're trying to have a simplified move. Matthew from the... read more LA office was my 1 on 1 contact. I did everything through email with him. Literally only had to provide 3 pieces of info to him and the rest was magic. That simple. Period. Moving is stressful enough so if you're a busy guy like me then call this company up and let them do the leg work. Don't hassle with trying to pack the stuff yourself, their full packing service special is well worth it for you and your items. They offer full coverage insurance too which was initially why I had my mind set on these movers. read less

San Diego9/03/2016I went from San Francisco, CA to San Ramon in the last November. The Cross Country Movers superbly completed my... read more move. I have no option but awarding them five stars. It was not low-priced but quite reasonable. Jake and peter were very supportive and courteous. The guys made my move really great. They took excellent care of my antique items as well as furniture.

Loved the pick up AND delivery guys both! Awesome crews. Got my items much sooner than the delivery window maximum I was worried I'd have to wait and will definitely use these guys for my next move out of town as I move frequently for work.

San Francisco7/13/2017Cross Country Movers in Brooklyn helped my family relocate to California! The movers were awesome, very hard working and responsible.... read more They tried to be as careful as possible. And I'm very grateful to them for such diligent work.

Brooklyn7/19/2015The first few days seemed to be the most difficult as there was a lack of space for us and... read more the movers to get around. This made their job especially difficult as there was little leg room to carry large and heavy objects such as the couches and bed sets. Thankfully these guys had prior experience to such large sized moves and had the right tools to get the job done. We were surprised that for all the things they did, they charged us a very low rate compared to their competition.This showed us that they actually care about helping their customers and not merely making a profit out of the people who they help. This was one of the many reasons for this full rating, also because the movers that arrived to our house each day were friendly and had fun conversation while maintaining a stern work ethic. They knew when it was time to stop and talk but also when they needed to concentrate on the moving itself. All in all we were very satisfied with how things worked out, we were moved into our new place maybe four or five days earlier than our move in date and that was very exciting. We had almost half a way left to get used to the area around there as it was a completely new city to us. The movers that dropped off our stuff even came in and help us set things up to the best of their abilities. Of course my mother reminded them that she wanted to be the one who decided the overall furnishing and she's the boss. Great service, could not be happier. read less
Denver9/13/2016I commend Cross Country Movers on their excellent effort with the move. I purchased a house couple of months ago... read more in California. I wanted to go to through a true professional mover and was little anxious for that reason. The guys kept us stress free. They appeared on due time at both ends (loading and delivery).

I would highly recommend these guys. read less

Everything arrived within quoted time frame!I recommend this to anyone who is moving to another city! read less

Austin5/28/2016I have had nothing but positive experiences with Cross Country Movers. They are dedicated to getting the job done right.... read more I found them on Yelp. I called and Matthew helped arrange for a quote and handled all my needs over the past 6 weeks. They are very reasonably priced and their staff and crew are caring, responsible and committed to making sure I am happy. I called them on January 16th. On January 18th, Gurson came to my house and provided me an extremely reasonable price. I had a change in my schedule and I needed them to move my items a month earlier than scheduled. They quickly changed the move date. On February 24, a crew of 5 came to my house and meticulously packed and moved my possessions. It will be a few months before I see them and my possessions, however I feel confident and secure with my choice in hiring them. They are truly exceptional and provide the highest level of quality customer care and service. read less

Now the last thing i wanted to do was put all those miles on her to get her home. After a lot of research and time i found these guys and decided to give them a try.

Hoboken8/05/2016I move exotic cars across the United States frequently, however this was the first time I purchased a "regular" family... read more car in Florida with transportation to California. I looked at all the reviews and Cross Country Movers looked like my best shot. Don't get side tracked by a bad review from a consumer that uses a transport company once in ten years. I truly use these companies multiple times a year. I called and spoke to "Jim Watson" who I immediately recognized as a man who knew what he was doing. He was honest, attentive and forthright with his answers to my questions, so I booked the move. There was a small communication problem between the seller and myself. I emailed "Jim Watson" on a Saturday and received an email within the hour! Jim assured me that he would go in first thing Monday morning and make things right. True to his word he took care of everything!

Boston7/20/2015I had always thought that I would love living somewhere where there is less snow or cold weather. Coming from... read more Boston, I've seen my share of winters, and I never grew tired of them. Naturally, I thought moving out of here would not be that big of a change, especially given a fact that I got a cool job offer. All I needed to do was get all my belongings there somehow. Prior to this adventure, I hadn't even been aware that there is such a thing as cross country moving company. I thought I was supposed to rent a moving truck and do it all myself, like in the movies. Luckily, my dad has a little more experience with moving home than I do, so he pointed it out to me that I should consider hiring professional moving helpers. He told me that a friend of his works for Cross Country Movers and that he can guarantee that they are a legitimate, reliable moving company. I gave these guys a call and got the whole process into motion. The moving team packed all my belongings, loaded on a truck in few hours, and immediately got started on the delivery process.They even brought their own moving boxes and other packing materials. I liked wardrobe boxes a lot. When the moving truck stopped in front of my new residence, I thought that was the end of the trip for them. However, they ended up taking all the boxes into the house and unpacking them. And the best part is - they did all this for a reasonable price. Not once did I feel like I was overcharged.I couldn't have asked for a better service. Cross Country Movers are truly amazing. In the meantime, I have realized that weather here can get a little too hot for me, so I am planning on moving again. When that day comes, I will definitely make sure I have these wonderful workers by my side.5.0 StarsThanks For Reading read less

Sacramento4/16/2016I hired Cross Country Movers to help me move from Orange County, CA to Manhattan, NY. It was a great... read more and smooth experience, especially after hearing from friends and relatives how awful big moves like this can become. They have a very organized system in place, and they label every box and piece of furniture I wanted them to deliver. After counting up my total number of articles, they charged me a one time fee. Unlike so many other moving companies, they don't charge you based on the total weight of what they are shipping. This usually results in very low estimates before the move, and a very high total amount once the items reach their destination. At that point, you have to pay what they demand, or you won't get your items. I paid for everything when they arrived to pick my items up and that was it! The price was extremely reasonable. They also complied with all the rules and regulations that exist in the Manhattan area, and believe me, there was a laundry list of them including a delivery time that had to be Monday through Friday from 8am-4pm ONLY. Everyone who helped me was very nice, from the customer service representative to the dispatcher to the movers themselves. They also gave me a two week window as to when they would arrive with my things, kept me up to date daily on exactly where my items were at that particular moment, and actually delivered everything 3 days into my two week window. My things were delivered intact (all 52 items/boxes), with virtually no wear and tear, and that was that. I had a great experience with Cross Country Movers and recommend it to anybody and everybody!-Greg read less
San Francisco8/03/2016These guys deserve ten stars instead of five, if I could possible give them a higher rating I would.

I will definitely come back to these guys in the future if we need another helping hand to move a bunch of heavy furniture.I recommended them to all my friends and family in the off chance that they ever need professional assistance in moving they'll know who to reach out to. It took them about four days to clean out the entire house, garage, and basement. When I say clean out I mean they took all of our belongings and packaged them, later fitting them neatly into a truck ready to be shipped out. The whole process went so smoothly I couldn't be happier. read less

I made the mistake of using two men and a truck once and my bill was doubled and it took all day long! I only trust Gerold Movers! read less

Thanks so much Cross Country for the stress-free move! read less
Seattle2/21/2016I do not understand how anybody could have a negative experience with these guys, we called them maybe three weeks... read more ago to help us clean out and move our two story house. We had several long hallways and tight corridors that we anticipated would pose a difficult challenge to the movers as it would be harder to get around. Thankfully when they got there and realized the situation they had the tools to adapt to the situation and it was not a complicated issue.Within a few days we had completed the entire paperwork process and had a supervisor come to our home to provide us with an on sight estimation of the length and cost of the move. They gave us several options of bundles or package deals that they had at the current time which included expedited transportation if we wanted to receive our things sooner and also insurance policies for the wooden and plastic crates. Boxes were another alternative however we were worried that they would not be the sturdiest option for shipping.We ended up choosing the wooden crates for most of our clothing and furniture that was not fragile however the electronics and glassware we had double wrapped in their office made bubble wrap and put into plastic crates. These things were going to be flying on a plane for hundreds of miles and our main concern was merely that they were safe and did not break. Thankfully the actual length of the move was much shorter than they had told us, the packing and loading process took about four to five business days and by Wednesday or Thursday of the following week we had already began receiving our things slowly.Ultimately we could not have imagined getting better results from choosing any other alternative company, the movers at Cross Country have been doing moving jobs for years and their experiences truly reflects from their work. If you want quality service it might run you a bit more on the pricey side but you get what you pay for at the end of the day. If you want a crappy job then you can go with some of the other mom and pop moving companies, but if you want the job done right and in a short span of time call these guys. read less
Denver8/10/2016Recently helped my friend look for a moving company and after getting high balled from 4 other companies...I found this... read more company! The operator was very helpful and offered us a free in home estimate so we knew exactly what the cost was going to be. Since my friend was very pregnant, we only had myself and her boyfriend to do all the work. They were moving from Miami to New York and did not have a lot of time because it was work related. The company offered to pack and unpack everything for us which would definitely help out my friends. Now in the past I have been very skeptical with this but even with this included in price it was still very fair so to save us both the trouble my friends opted for it. The moving day arrived and the movers were very friendly but professional. I was watching them like a hawk because I have had movers in the past break stuff...but not these guys! They wrapped up all the fragile items, used special boxes for some valuables, and made sure everything was secure. They made sure that we were happy with the work and they themselves looked like they enjoyed it. It was such a breeze that I told my friends they owed me money for finding the company. Overall, great experience & I am glad to know who to call if I need a moving company for myself or other friends. Definitely worth a try! read less

I worked with Patrick, who understood the emotional situation as well as the logistical situation, and talked me through the challenging parts of this move. I insured some special things (mirrors and furniture) with Chris, who was also kind and careful. They kept the price as low as possible, and we didn't end up paying for extra boxes or extra packing. For pick-up day, we had an orderly, helpful group of people come and finish the packing of furniture (and even a piano) and took great care with our things and did a terrific job. Each item (box or furniture) is tagged with a computer number, and can be tracked. At each destination, the movers brought our things where they belonged with care. I was incredibly impressed with this company, and would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. read less

At first I was looking for the best deal but I noticed the low low prices came from companies that had some not so great reviews so I got a feeling that if I spent just little extra I wouldn't lose any stuff or get scammed for that matter. I doubled back to Cross Country Movers because they informative over the phone not pushy to schedule my move. I don't like when people are to aggressive with sales.

San Francisco11/07/2016We had so many fragile equipment that we did not know how anyone could manage to transport all of them... read more without a single crack or scratch. Honestly we were ready for some things to break but we were not going to make a scene out of it since we realized just how much china and glassware we actually had to transport. Luckily, we were in the hands of some of the most professional movers out on the market and they managed to prove us completely wrong and move everything without a single mark.They began by placing several layers of bubble wrap and cloth in each of the boxes. They had these wooden and plastic crates instead of ordinary boxes which were not sturdy and could easily bounce against each other and crack. Within their custom crates there were fillers you could slide in to make sure everything stays into place, we received that as an add on to ensure the safety of the glassware. When our things arrived my grandmother had looked at those boxes first and foremost, she had a big smile on her face as everything was in perfect condition. If you are need of transporting valuable or fragile goods and want a company you could trust in, call these guys you will not regret it. read less

Boston4/23/2016From the very beginning of this move the day that an estimator arrived alongside two workers, we knew we were... read more in good hands and these men were experts of their trade. Moving is definitely not an easy thing to do and is a process that requires long man hours and labor. That is precisely what these men provide as a service, as well as a very personable and genuine relationship with their clientele. The first thing we noticed as an exceptional sign that these guys were great workers is that they arrived very early on the day our move was scheduled to begin. They knocked on the door around eleven and informed us that they were on scene whenever we were ready to begin then the man walked out and patiently waited for our signal. As soon as we had done organizing everything and packing our personals, we invited them in and they began the move.The entire process was a lengthy one, it began on the bottom floors by moving out couches and the television set which required at least two people to carry each thing. They managed these all in a few hours and during the evening they managed to clear out a single bedroom on the top floor and left the rest for the following day. They completed the move before the fourth day including transporting everything and having it begin its transit to the delivery location, could not be happier with the results. read less

Also, I agree with the other folks who mentioned how crystal clear the terms are. You know exactly what you could potentially pay from the time you schedule the move to when it's finally done.

San Francisco8/27/2017I utilized Cross Country Movers for a long distance move I had in August from Texas to Pennsylvania. This was... read more my first time doing a long distance move, so I had no experience at all. Planning this move was a headache as any kind of moving can be stressful.PRE MOVE:After calling Cross Country Movers, I got connected with Dan B. He was assigned as my long distance move specialist and would be with me through the whole moving process. He walked me through the process and made it clear and simple. He gave me a quote over the phone. I researched other companies and many of them have to come to do an in person estimate which is a hassle. There was no pressure to go with them and the customer service was excellent. Cross Country is also registered with the Department of Transportation, so there are legit.Because this was my first time doing a move, I was a bit anxious. I called Dan many times, but he was always nice and friendly. He was always available to answer my questions. My quote was about $3,700 for a 1 bedroom move, 1 living room, and 1 bathroom move (price is dependent on how much stuff you have).My car shipping was: $975It sounds a bit pricey, but it saves on stress of doing a road trip with a U-haul.MOVE DAY:The day of the move, everything went very smoothly. I chose the package to pack things myself and have the movers come. The movers were fast and friendly. They wrapped and moved the big stuff for me. I just had to make sure to pack all my small miscellaneous objects.My quote was guaranteed, so everything I moved on my list would be guaranteed at that price. I actually was able to pack less boxes and was efficient with my packing, so in the end saved $300 from my original quote.POST MOVE:My stuff got to my destination on time. The movers gave me an update on where my stuff was every couple of days, so this definitely reassured me.Dan B. was excellent and provided awesome customer service. He would always follow-up and make sure I was comfortable with the move. I was happy with my move with Cross Country. read less

I found a nice place in Dover, Delaware. I just got the ok to go, and I needed a mover to get me and all of my many belongings over there to my new residence. It was a great trip, and I chose "Cross Country Movers" back in Baltimore to help me make that move. I really couldn't lift things myself and do all the heavy lifting due to my bad back. They took care of all that, the did all I asked of them, I thanked them all so many times and they kept replying "hey it's our job, you don't have to thank us!" In a playful tone! I had such an amazing experience thanks to your crew. Great service. read less
Baltimore11/28/2016There's no way about it--landing on (and trusting) a moving company is stressful. That stress is immediately compounded when you... read more finally pull the trigger and submit a deposit--only to discover a wealth of terrible reviews directly after sending (three weeks before moving from Chicago to Los Angeles, mind you). Freaked out and scrambling to find an alternative, I stumbled on Cross Country Movers in a quick search. Impressed by the reviews, I called immediately. Dan picked up, I explained my situation, and not only did he save the day (and calm me down), but he kicked off what was the smoothest, easiest, most stress-free move ever. The cost was straightforward, especially since he sent an estimator to my apartment, so they knew exactly what I'd be moving (no surprises or hidden fees after the fact), and Dan continued to work further to get the number within my budget. I had to store my items for a few months once landing on the west coast, and that went off without a hitch--in fact, after a billing miscommunication (for the record, storage through CCM is free for the first month, afterward, you're charged an affordable monthly fee), Dan went above and beyond to fix the issue and bring the price down. When I was ready for my items to be delivered, they were sent promptly on a truck, arrived at my door with two extremely friendly, helpful guys, who unloaded and unwrapped my items within an hour, with not a single item broken or missing. A move with CCM is smooth sailing, from day one. I'm so glad and relieved I chose this service. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks, Dan! read less

Santa Ana10/10/2015Overall my experience with Cross Country was smooth. See below for more detail. I decided to write my experience out... read more step by step to give you a good idea of the whole kit and caboodle. After doing a ton of research, hiring a mover still seemed daunting because almost every company has some bad reviews. Ultimately I went with cross country because a friend who had just done a similar move recommended them to me. They charged less than anyone else - I had a leftover moving budget that I was able to put toward airfare and other expenses. Some good things that happened before they picked up my stuff:-They were willing to price match lower estimates. -They didn't harass me with phone calls trying to earn my business. Once my number was out there with other companies I would get an insane number of calls daily. -I liked that they price the move based on items. I've heard that the companies that price per cubic foot tend to estimate low so that you pay an overage in the end.-I was able to pay half up front, and half upon delivery.During pick up:-The crew was on time and professional.-The only downside was that I literally didn't know what to do with myself. I wish I hadn't packed all of my books up. It was the first time I didn't move myself - it felt weird to just sit back and relax. -They did a thorough job packing the items I had for them to pack. They didn't try to gauge me by under packing boxes, put instead fit what they could to make the most of the space. I had estimated 18 medium boxes, but instead had about 20 small-ish boxes and 6 large. They decided to be fair about it and not charge me extra. -They dissemble your furniture for you. Even my crappy Ikea bed frame. -They got everything out in less than 3 hours. Waiting time:-I was happy that they had a 14 day guarantee. Understand they mean business days.-My shipment came in about 10 days. It was from NYC to the Denver area. -I wish they would have had a tracking tool comparable to UPS tracking so that I didn't have to keep emailing my contact about the status of the move. Delivery:- It was very fast. - They reassembled my furniture quickly and placed everything however I liked. I think they did it in 45 mins. It was definitely under and hour. -I only had one item break, it was a box that I packed myself, and in hindsight I probably could have done a better job. During a follow up call I told customer service about the breakage and they insistent that make a formal claim. They fast tracked the reimbursement. That process was super easy, especially considering I didn't think they'd give me anything for a damaged item I boxed myself. Obviously the pros to my experience are above. The biggest con is wait time - If you can't wait up to two weeks for your things I would recommend just u-hauling the stuff yourself. But I have to say, for just a little bit more $$$, I really enjoyed not driving across the country and the general lack of manual labor that was required of me. I've worked harder moving two blocks away. (Like I ended my essays in 5th grade) In conclusion, if you're looking to hire a mover, you should hire these guys.P.S - One that thing is that during the process I noticed there are SO many different websites, yelps, addresses, logos and names for the company - which I found a little sketchy. If you're like me, just ask one of the agents for a link to their BBB rating to ease your worries. This is something I hope that they fix, because it doesn't help their credibility. (although it didn't seem to be a problem in the end.) read less

Minneapolis10/06/2016I just moved from NYC to Fallbrook in San Diego County. I used Cross Country based on the great reviews... read more on Yelp and elsewhere even though they are thousands of dollars less than he estimates I got from Bekins and Atlas. Usually less expensive things are lower quality but this isn't the case for Cross Country. The one downside was the move took a week longer than the other companies but considering how much money I saved it was worth it. My sales rep was Richard and I spoke with him and his associates many times during the move process.This was my first move using a moving company. I packed and boxed most of my things myself but had Cross Country pack the more expensive/large things like computer, big TV and furniture. Standard insurance for all moving companies is free but also provides only a tiny fraction of the replacement cost. I bought additional insurance but this only applies to what the movers pack. I'm not fully unpacked yet but no need for a claim so far and I don't think there will be.Cross Country did not send an estimator to the apartment. I worked with Richard to figure out how much stuff I had (difficult before packing it up). As it turned out, estimators from other moving companies came by and gave a higher estimate of the quantity than I originally decided. Richard revised my estimate upward based on this and it turned out to be right on the mark. The price increased a little but not much. Having an on-site estimate is very helpful if you can get one.Cross Country has business arrangements with local moving companies. On the NYC side, Uru Maya was the local company who brought my stuff to the warehouse for loading on to the cross country tractor trailer. They were superb. Gonzales and his crew were more careful and meticulous than I hoped. Super friendly, informative and competent. Can't say enough good things about them. The things they packed were very well protected. The move was hard, since I was in a fourth-floor walkup but no complaints from the crew. Every box and item was inventoried and labeled by the movers and a master inventory list is kept. This was very reassuring and I was able to check off each item as it arrived here in Fallbrook.Francisco and his delivery crew here in Fallbrook were also excellent. They came two days before the end of the estimated delivery window. The roads here in the hills are narrow, twisty and steep and that's true of my driveway as well. They got the truck here fine and brought everything into the house in under an hour. I was given all the time I needed to unpack and inspect the insured things in boxes like the computer. They unwrapped all the furniture and took away the moving materials of everything that was unpacked.Moving is a very stressful experience but using Cross Country made it less so. I got calls directly after the NYC pickup and Fallbrook delivery from Cross Country to see how the move went and if I was happy. John, the Quality Assurance Manager, also called me after delivery to see how the move went. He asked if I'd leave a review on Yelp. I think so highly of Cross Country I joined Yelp so I could leave this positive review. read less

Half of my friends didn't want me to move anywhere, the other half - was worried and giving me million number and referrals of moving companies. My wife and I were browsing for weeks. A lot of calls, quotes...some of the guys from the companies were coming to our house to see what we have and make a fare price. But none of these companies didn't give me a trust. One day a good friend of my make me seat next to her and showed my this moving company. Preparation and getting a quote.I called to that phone number and very nice girl picked up the phone and she answered all my questions. She gave me appx price and I was pretty happy with it. I scheduled to have movers to be arrived in a week and my package was included packing all my stuff into the boxes, kitchen stuff, wrapping and unwrapping (all general things). Day of move. The movers showed up on time, 15 minutes earlier to see if there was any better way to get all out furniture down more quicker. They checked one more time the house, asked if I want them to pack anything else, or if there was any special instructions. i said no, They can start taking all stuff out.

State Symbols of Virginia
The state nickname of Virginia represents its oldest symbol, but has never been made official by the law. As we have previously mentioned, Virginia, as the first English colony in North America, has been given the nickname “Dominion” by King Charles II of England. The state’s motto is “Sic Semper Tyrannis”. This motto can be translated from the Latin language and means “Thus Always to Tyrants”. The motto is used to the state’s seal and therefore on the flag too. The seal was designed back in 1776. The flag was designed much later, back in 1830s. Both the seal and the flag were made official in the 1930s. The majority of the state’s symbols were made official in the late 20th century. Take a look at the official state symbols of Virginia:

About Richmond, Virginia
Capital of Virginia
The capital of Virginia, Richmond is located at the head of the navigable part of the James River between Virginia's coastal plains and the Piedmont, beyond which are the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was incorporated in 1742 and has been an independent city since 1871. The city was named after its sister city, Richmond in London. The UK version of Richmond is an affluent suburban town just southeast of London. One of the interesting facts about the city of Richmond is that it was the polar opposite during the Civil War to its neighbor, Washington, D.C., only 100 miles to the north. While Abraham Lincoln guided the Union through the tumultuous Civil War from the White House in Washington, D.C., his southern counterpart, President Jefferson Davis did the same from Richmond.
Today, Richmond is an economically progressive city with a population of 250,000 residents, that offers a wealth of amenities not easily found among other East Coast municipalities.
