I had an excellent experience with Collegian Movers and I would like to thank Chris and Clemente for the great job that they did! These guys worked really hard and got our move done in a reasonable amount of time. They were pleasant and helpful in all areas, including moving some items around our house. They took great care not to damage items as well. I worked with George to plan the move and he was also helpful and informative. If I or a friend have to move anytime soon, this is the company I will recommend. Thanks!

It is difficult to adequately articulate my disappointment and frustration with Collegian Movers, but I feel compelled to warn others about the experience. I'll briefly mention a lack of transparency regarding charges: despite our move occurring at a very short distance (between neighboring buildings in an apartment complex), half of the booked four hours were billed as 'travel time.' Though this alone might have been overlooked, the movers assigned to us were woefully inefficient. Instead of diligently moving our belongings, they seemed more interested in dragging their feet and wasting time. As a result, my partner and I were left to frantically move over thirty boxes of books ourselves, scrambling to complete the job that we had paid Collegian to do. To add insult to injury, when we reached out to customer service to address our grievances, we were met with dismissiveness and blame-shifting. Worst there, Collegian's representative had the audacity to suggest that we ought to have reprimanded the movers for their lack of efficiency (rather than acknowledging their own culpability for maintaining a standard of quality for the work of their employees). As a result of these experiences, I strongly advise anyone considering hiring Collegian to proceed with extreme caution. From deceptive pricing practices to incompetent movers to substandard customer service, they have proven themselves to be at best unreliable. Save yourself the headache and seek out a reputable moving company that values integrity and professionalism.

I have nothing but great things to say about Collegian movers. From the initial call to the end of my move , everything was handled with professionalism. Warren and Mike were excellent and went above and beyond to make the move easy and efficient. I appreciated them being friendly and professional. I found the cost reasonable and would highly recommend Collegian!

Dwight, Richard & David from Collegian Movers were great! They arrived on time, carefully navigated a difficult driveway with the big truck, reviewed the lay of the land on both the moving and receiving ends, and moved me very efficiently. They were professional and attentive to the needs of my furniture. I would highly recommend them.

Moved us last year , a few of the guys ok but one was so high he kept nodding out , internal fighting between other members too they were trying to rush the job so we couldn't oversee where we wanted items delivered , a bunch of items broken ,went back and forth after some time it's determined I didn't buy insurance and give they me $150 settlement . So essentially you have to buy the insurance to make sure they do the job correctly . Disappointing at best .

We hired Collegian for an in town move. Our experience was so horrible that I cannot believe it. We assumed a minimum level of professionalism and there was none. 1. During the estimate we were told the truck would make two trips. The team was so disorganized that it took them all day to fill the truck one time and much was left behind. We had to hire a handyman with a truck to move the items that did not fit in the truck the following Monday.2. At the beginning of the day, the foreman and I walked through I explained what exactly needed to be moved from the house, basement and garage. I clearly marked all items in the garage. I had to ask about items that were not being packed so many times that it was like we never had the conversation. Some of the movers worked the earlier part of the day and others the whole day or afternoon. There was NO communication between the different groups and I was repeatedly asked the same questions by different people, and still there was plenty left behind.3. They damaged the door jams of the doorway going up the stairs. There was obvious paint chips all over the floor. I had to repair the everything before the sale of our house closed. The broke miscellaneous items; foot on antique table, trim piece off of an antique mirror, they moved the table saw and threw it back in the garage not assembled properly. 4. We moved our expensive TV ourselves so that we did not have to worry about any damage. Without asking, they took the liberty of moving the tv from where we had it safely stored to lay it on the bed. I have not yet had time to unpack to plug to make sure it works.5. I had taken out cash to give the team a tip that morning. I left my pocketbook unattended in the kitchen (which was my stupidity), and when I looked for the tip, the cash was missing.6. There was basic oversight for this move that DID NOT HAPPEN. My new neighbors all commented that I seemed to have hired the worst movers. I had relied on these Yelp reviews to choose this mover. I see the review from Marc P. on 1/7/22, and wish I had taken the 'supposed' outlier review more seriously.7 I spoke to the team, and they gave me a slight discount. This was offset by the fact that I had to hire a handyman with a truck to help move what did not fit into the truck. They offered to send a repairman to look at the broken items. I will will believe when I see it. Please beware of this moving company and get a personal reference for your next mover!

All three men showed up promptly and worked hard during one of the hottest days of the summer. They took special care of all the boxes labeled fragile and not one item was damaged during the move.

Collegian movers were quick to tally everything over the phone. On moving day, my movers were efficient and professional and my bill ended up being less than my estimate. It was as easy an experience as moving out can be. Would highly recommend.

Moving can be a nightmare but these guys are great. So professional and great at communication. I highly recommend you hire these guys. Three guys showed up, worked hard and were fast and polite. We will hire them again once we get our forever house.

EDIT TO REVIEW: Collegian eventually reached out and issued a partial credit to my account. They also offered to have repairman come and fix some damaged items. Although this does not make up for my experience I believe based on their reputation and historically good reviews, my experience seems to be an outlier which can certainly happen from time to time with any business.After using a different moving company and having an all star team complete my move I mistakenly used Collegian as I wanted to support local. I hired 4 guys to do the job, 3 showed up. The guys were perplexed at the size of the job as this obviously wasn't conveyed correctly from the initial point person George. The leader was an epic fail that day as he was exhausted from the day before. These guys bulldozed through EVERYTHING. They had no system, they damaged my personal items, they damaged elevators, walls, doors, etc. Truck was barely big enough and not enough moving blankets or hand trucks. A move the previous company did in 7.5 hours took these guys 12 hours due to lack of organization and little team work. Masks wearing? I had to ask one guy 3 times to keep it on in my personal residence , he didn't care. Lastly, the leader of the crew tried to charge me for 4 people instead of 3 that showed up, another battle. I paid 5 star prices for amateur movers and learned an expensive lesson. I reached out to the company via email and heard nothing in return.Note: I believe these movers were all "decent" human beings. They obviously lacked training. In a climate where no one wants to work, these guys showed up which is worth something, but unfortunately you don't get a medal for just showing up - you have to execute. I didn't want to write this review, being in business is hard enough. Incredible no one followed up. Collegian, Really? Shameful ...Unprofessional, unresponsive, poor quality. Do yourself a favor and use Father and Son in Wallingford.

Lot of problems, ran out of boxes, not very professional. Broken lamps. Not worth it.
