Horrible -- Bait and Switch Movers, for sure. I saw a few good reviews of this company, perhaps some have had a good experience,perhaps they were friends of the company. Since the operations managers name is Ron Biton, reasonable people would assume that one of the 5 star reviews from "Lironbitton Bitton" is from him. In any event, my experience was bad. The packing was barely adequate - sloppy and rushed -- and a few fragile porcelain items broken, but not horrible. Trying to commit to a delivery date was a real pain -- the driver made 6 stops on his way out to our place. And acted as though he was doing me a favor responding to questions. And heres the bait and switch -- although they knew my new address when I booked the move -- right before delivery they said "18 wheelers are not allowed in your city -- youll need to pay an additional $350 cash for a shuttle". They didnt bother to find out beforehand -- after all, its the customer who pays, not the company. Plus, the rented shuttle was used by at least one other customer -- Im pretty sure that the driver was double charging. And to top it off, the driver carelessly dropped poster flat on the floor of his truck and all the glass was broken. Moving in by driver and his helper was sloppy in general and caused unneccessary nicks and dings in my new place. Truly do not be swayed by the (phony) positive reviews -- you will likely pay the price that the rest of us have.

Worst moving company ever. First they pulled the old bait and switch with my stuff. They quoted me 1200 originally for my move based on the stuff that I had. However, when my stuff got loaded they requoted me for 3200. Being not so wealthy I could not pay that, so they held my stuff in an undisclosed location till I could get the money. I fought over the price for weeks but they just said that if i didnt pay they would auction off my stuff after a month. I was able to borrow some of the money and they said they would cut the bill by 400, so we finally came to an agreement and they said they would drop off my stuff Friday. Called Friday and they said Saturday. Called Saturday and they said Sunday. They just kept putting it off meanwhile never disclosing the location of stuff. I am putting this review up hoping that they drop off my stuff today. I even threatened to call the cops. I just want those out there looking for a moving company to never experience my nightmare. As an end note all of my stuff was packed and ready to move and they still found a way to charge 600 for moving supplies. Not labor mind you this was "moving supplies". Shady, Shady people.

Caution!!, Caution!!, Caution!!...This moving company does not deserve to be in business...They are a BAIT AND SWITCH operation. BR Movers sales rep will quote you a price based on your inventory and on the day of your move you will have the exact same inventory but they want to increase your quote by 45% to 50% stating "The inventory was done over the phone and quote is an estimate"...Please beware. This is first review I ever wrote and the only reason is because of the HORRIBLE, MEAN SPIRITED, and UNETHICAL business practise of BR-Movers...I read the review but I give most people the benefit of the doubt and things happen, but Trust me stay away from this company...

DONT USE THIS COMPANY!! We were quoted at 1200 and then on moving day they packed up our belongings, and then the driver came back with and estimate 3 times that!! Rip off much!! Well we didnt pay it cause that is not the binding quote we had signed before. Then we canceled our card to prevent them from stealing the money, and the next day they called and said our card was declined. They tried to take out 1300!! We didnt even have that much on that card! And now we are trying to negotiate with these terrorists cause they are holding our stuff hostage and threatened us that they are going to sell our stuff in 20 days if we dont pay up!! Just so you know that is illegal!

TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE FIVE STAR GOOGLE REVIEWS. These guys are so shady they have hired a company to boost their google rating. Check the BBB and other moving sites...they are AWFUL (criminals, really). STAY AWAY. My experience is as follows: Simple move- MD to LA- they DOUBLED the price once my stuff was loaded, movers were rude, and the owner basically TOLD me when they would deliver. They demanded extra money to unload, extra money to keep my stuff undamaged. I reported them to the Federal Highway service- which I encourage everyone to do. In the end the budgeted $5,000 move ended up costing $10,000. Stay away. Prosper is a criminal.

Stay AWAY from them. Please read Department of transportation page for frud alert (red flags). They are exactly match with the majority of those red flags. They will charge you at least 1000 extra to estimate and bring half of your item, mostly broken. Also, they recommend to not buying insurance that allow them to take anything they want from your items. Think through, they give good estimate, but will give you a paper to sign that has extra charges on that. save your self against frud.

STAY AWAY FAR FAR AWAY!!!!! Used this company a few months back and the experience was terrible. Ron Bitton is a crook. He was nice at first quoting us around $500 for the service which was reasonable for what we were doing and at the end he held our items hostage until we paid over $2000. Bait and switch to the max!!!! PLEASE do yourself a favor and look into this company closer. They are the worst decision we have ever made when it comes to moving. More like BS MOVERS!!!!

The move was not bad in itself. Before the move they keep calling you over and over to make sue you are going to give them the deal. However once the move is completed and that personal properties are damaged then you cannot have anybody give you the status of your claim. They keep pushing back the dates of the resolution. Be very careful before you use this company, when they break something it is very hard to have them repair and or compensate you for the damages.

We had to move before the holiday and Br Movers were supper nice and helpful. They were very careful with our furniture. They padded and shrink wrapped all of my furniture, and used dollies and lifting straps I have never seen They even saw that I was short a few boxes and provided me with some extras that they had in their truck. Im more than satisfied with their work and recommend them to everyone. Thank you, happy holiday.
