We moved from Maryland to Wilmington NC. Bates showed up on time with the lead driver, Cameron, and crew of 5. They were friendly and worked their butts off in 95 degree temps for 7 hours. Everything was well packed and arrived at our new house as promised. Cameron and another crew of 3 unloaded at our new house and we had the same experience. They were polite, eager to please and exceptional careful. I can't imagine finding a better moving company. The owners, the Von Paris family truly want their customer to have a great experience and we did.+2Posted on Google
John Bohlmann127 days agoBates Moving & Storage did an amazing job moving us from Maryland to long Island NY. There whole team was oustanding including Jeff the driver and especially Eren, who did a top notch job meticulously protecting our expensive art work collection of expensive paintings and collectibles for the move. Everything was handled with extra care and delivered on-time. I would give this company and the Team moving our lifetime valuables 6 stars on google if I could. Dont forget to ask for Erin if you hire them becouse you items will be in good hands and he will go above and beyond any other mover. Thanks Bates Moving & Storage, you made a stressful time of moving actually a pleasurable experience for us.Posted on Google
Daniela W173 days agoWonderful company. They responded to my inquiry fast and with clear communication. The crew showed up right on time and the guys were wonderful and kind. They worked so quickly and efficiently - it made the move easy. I truly appreciate them on a stressful day like this. Pricing was very fair and I couldn't be happier with the service Bates provided. Thank you!!! ♥♥♥Posted on Google
Teresa Niblett198 days agoA team of 3 professional gentlemen... Bobby, Cameron, and Savon helped moved my mom. It occurred right after a terrible blizzard and the crew had to navigate icy walk ways and 3 trees that had fallen blocking the driveway. They were quick, kind, and extremely thorough. We are also grateful to the team members that helped mom pack up. Highly recommend this company for packing and moving needs.Posted on Google

Savannah Poorman504 days agoI had a great experience with Bates Moving last Friday- the four guys that moved me were so professional. I made the mistake (unknowingly) with not wrapping my mattresses but Cam came prepared and it was a simple fix. I moved from a 3rd floor apartment- so no easy task but they were efficient & awesome!! Not to mention, Bates was significantly more affordable than other companies I received quotes from. The lower price did not impact the quality- I could not have been more relieved that I chose Bates. I had a nightstand that was damaged in transit but they took care of it and I received the nightstand back today and it looks good as new! Huge thank you to Cam and the guys. Though I hope I do not have to move again anytime soon- I will call Bates when I do! Pictures of the nightstand before and after are attached.+1Posted on Google

Karen Stearrett696 days agoThe team from Bates Moving & Storage - Cameron, Robert, Ray, and Bobby - did an excellent job packing up our 2,825 sq. ft. home for our cross country move! If we could give them higher than 5 stars, we certainly would! They worked well together and got the job done in a timely manner! They took their time and expertly packed everything! Highly recommend! Great movers and great guys! Thanks team!Posted on Google
Linda Kellogg744 days agoIf I could give them a higher rating we would... 5 stars is not enough to express the quality, care and professional service provided by our moving team. This is the second time we worked with Aaron & Cameron. Beyond their knowledge and skill in moving some difficult pieces with ease, they treated us like family and our belongings as if they were their own. We have moved a number of times over our lives and the moves we made with Bates have been by far the best!!Posted on Google
Rory Houck779 days agoWe recently moved from Delaware to South Carolina and our experience with Bates Moving from start to finish was absolutely fantastic! 5 stars aren't enough, they deserve 10! This is a family run business and the attention they provided through every position and level of the organization can't be beat. We had logistical things we had to address for our move, and Bill Sr, Bill Jr, and the rest of the team always went out of their way to ease our anxieties. They are great people. We couldn't be more thankful for what they did. If you are looking for a mover in the Delmarva area, this is the one. There is not a better moving company out there.Posted on Yelp

John, Bobby, and Aaron from Bates Moving and Storage did the local delivery for my United snap move from across the country. It was a terrible day weather-wise - lots of rain, wind, and cold - but despite those challenges, they did an A+ exceptional job. They were careful and respectful, communicative, and hard working. Everything was placed where it was supposed to go, in great condition, and they took special precautions to avoid tracking in water or my things getting exposed to the rain. The guys were great to joke around with a bit too, keeping the mood light - and they were done super fast, too! Would definitely recommend and use them again!Posted on Google
Dale Thomas1087 days ago** HANDS DOWN ** Three moves in the last eight months and this company and it’s movers are THE BEST we have ever had! Professional, incredible service, put furniture only where you want it. Brought two trucks to move us from a large storage unit just in case! Priced at or below everyone else and awesome communication! Family owned and it SURE Shows. Thank you for a Great, Stress Free day😎+1Posted on Google
Photofinnish1138 days agoI give this company 5 stars all the way! As a person who had only moved twice before and had no idea what I was doing, they made it super easy and definitely worth the money. They were responsive and knowledgeable when I called, and when they came out for the estimate. They were cheaper than the other movers I checked into and arrived axactly at the time they said they would. Their three man team was very professional and very respectful of my belongings and my new construction home (covering the carpet, etc.) They were also done in less time than the estimate. I would highly recommend them. This was some of the best money I've ever spent.Posted on Google
Robert Ponik1218 days agoWe used Bates to move my Mother In Law from MD to Jacksonville. They were very responsive and did a remote estimate since they could not go onsite. Their quote was accurate and 1/2 what others wanted (including the POD option). The office kept us informed every step of the way and the movers were efficient and professional. They even made 2 stops to place things in her new apartment so we did not have to move them later. I would highly recommend them! Bob PonikPosted on Yelp
Luke M.1264 days agoGreat service, great price. 1/3 the price of 2 Men and Truck, while being more polite and more timely. Moved my Mom into assisted living. They had an "opening" so we needed to move ahead quirkily. It was, just a few items. Movers were fast, nice, and efficient. Infesting I work for Bates, when I was 16, 50 years ago.Posted on Google
Cliff Shockley1353 days agoThey were able to help out with a office furniture move up stairs the same day I called. Extremely friendly and professional. Highly recommended!Posted on Yelp
Jane G.1449 days agoI can't say enough about Bates! Not only did all of our belongings arrive in excellent condition it was done professionally and with friendly, hardworking men! We hit a snag moving in as the owners did not leave until 4:00..... that didn't stop Bates!! They moved us in even though it would be a 12 hour day for them! At 7:30 we had pizza and a few laughs! Highly recommend Bates and the crew who did such a fantastic job for us!!!Posted on Yelp
B H.1454 days agoBates Moving and Storage has outstanding service! They are timely, careful, considerate, helpful, and more. From beginning to end, the entire business was great. I couldn't ask for a better mover.Posted on Google
Patricia Martin1605 days agoBates moved me here to Ohio from Delaware 6 months ago. I should have written a review before this, but ... stuff happens. This is the best company for moving that I have ever experienced. And I've moved A LOT. The entire crew - office, driver, loaders - treated me and my property with the utmost respect. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Posted on Google

Allison Sheridan2284 days agoI could not be happier with my experience with Bates Moving & Storage. I used their services several years ago and when I contacted them for a second move, they exceeded expectations. The entire team was professional, helpful and communicated every detail regarding the move of my furniture. The team took amazing care of my furniture and were a delight to have in my home. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants a fantastic and easy moving experience. Thank you for everything!Posted on Google
Richard Grinnell2285 days agoWe contacted Bates to handle our move because we had heard good things about the company. We are so happy we did. They arrived to pickup our household items on time and the driver was very helpful and professional. Once loaded they stored our items for us as our new house wasn’t ready. When we closed we again contacted Bates to deliver our stuff. Again, they arrived on time with a crew of folks to unload and place our items where we wanted them. They were very patient with us as my wife changed her mind a couple of times. All in all, a great experience. I highly recommend you talk to them. Ask for Jenny, she is our favorite employee and helped us with a lot of information.Posted on Google
Georgia Martin2288 days agoBates accepted and stored online furniture purchases for my new out of town condo for 6 months. They kept me informed with each receipt, and rejected goods that arrived damaged. They delivered the furniture within a week of my request when the place was finally ready. I couldn't have asked for a better system.Posted on Yelp
Judith D.2484 days agoUnited agent Bates Moving in Salisbury, Maryland did a fantastic job for our inter-state move from Maryland's Eastern Shore to southeast Virginia. The preplanning, estimating, delivery of packing supplies all went smoothly, as did the actual Moving Days. Our full house required two vans and Bates went out of their way with staff re-scheduling and overtime to provide drivers and helpers to make sure we were out of one and into our new house on schedule. Highly recommend Bates!Posted on Google
Matt Brown2550 days agoA+ service. From the person answering the phone to the people who pack you up. Recommend Bates to everyone.Posted on Yelp
Matthew B.2551 days agoI have never moved out of state before. I contacted Bates Moving. They talked me through the entire process. Not only did Bates make everything work out but they made moving an enjoyable process. Special thanks goes out to Brandon who delivered our belongings to us. This man went way above and beyond. Thanks again Bates Moving. I recommend you to everyone.Posted on YelpKen B.2737 days agoBates Moving did a great job moving us from Tilghman Island to Key West. They successfully dismantled and transported a large grand piano, along with a houseful of furniture, without scratching or damaging anything. At the destination, where local labor is scarce, they managed to get expert workers to travel several hours from Miami to unload the furniture and re-assemble the piano. Everything was done promptly on schedule, and everyone involved was polite and careful. And we found the price entirely reasonable.Posted on Home Advisor

G Haskins2924 days agoWe used Bates Moving/United Van Lines for a move from Grasonville, MD to Atlanta, GA in early summer 2018. They did an outstanding job from providing a very thorough estimate to having an extremely knowledgeable moving crew who took great care with my parent’s treasured possessions. They answered any questions and provided much needed assurances throughout the moving process and Donna Bates who works in their office was such an asset!! Even their packers were awesome. I cannot say enough positive things about this family owned business. Everyone I worked with throughout the process was extremely professional and pleasant to work with. If I have another move, this is the first company I’ll call!! Many thanks to Bates Moving for their excellent moving services!!Posted on Google
Brandon Brooks2958 days agoPosted on YelpChristy L.3007 days agoBates Moving is incredible. They moved my elderly parents from their home in Ocean Pines to assisted living in Philadelphia. This was not a straight forward move as some items were staying in their home and others were being moved to assisted living. Donna in the office and with whom I shared numerous emails and phone conversations, was very personable and efficient. I felt very reassured that Bates would make sure that everything went smoothly for my parents and it did. On move-In day at assisted living, the personnel loading the items into their apartment were very helpful in positioning furniture, even to the point of locating a bed so so that vents would not be blowing down on my elderly mother.Posted on Home Advisor
Denise G3067 days agoThe experience could not have gone better, from the initial estimate to the delivery itself. Bates Moving and Storage kept us informed every step of the way. They treated our home and possessions (and us!) with total respect. They packed and moved our two-story home, disassembling (as needed), then reassembling furniture upon arrival. Moving is a stressful process in general, full of details, and they greatly alleviated the "moving of household goods" stress. I highly recommend them for any moving needs.Posted on Google

Stephen Bailey3257 days agoBates did an outstanding and quick job packing us for a United Van Lines move from Maryland to California. Nothing was lost or broken. Only quibble was that maybe they were TOO careful, wrapping metal cookie sheets in several pieces of paper.Posted on Google
Maggie M3341 days agoAbsolutely the best decision I ever made with this move. They were highly recommended to me and I can see why. From the initial call for info until the truck pulled away after delivering my furniture they were indeed professional. They took such care with each piece and even all those boxes. Polite beyond words ! Hadn't moved in 24 years but if I ever do this again they will be the only ones I call.Posted on Home Advisor
Thomas C3382 days agoThey were fast, efficient, and courteous. Complied with all the weird changes ( lots of extra stuff) without a peep. Cheerful and helpful. Two additional men came on the last leg to help get it done in time. Perfect! Excellent!! Would recommend and use again.Posted on Google

Jennifer R.3502 days agoExcellent company, excellent staff! As far as I am concerned, they are the only reputable mover in town. Don't be fooled (like I almost was) by the other guys who will show up at your house with a rental truck and some sketchy helpers. Do your homework before you choose! I can honestly say that With Bates, our move was in the hands of a solid, dependable, LOCAL company. Their excellent reputation is well earned. I will not move with anyone else!Posted on Google

Donna was wonderful in setting up our move with changes in the date. Movers were polite, efficient and did an excellent job, the truck could not fit in our long driveway due to the narrow road, the team took our furniture down our 250ft driveway to the truck! That's beyond great service ! Erin lead her team with efficiency and excellence. We could not be happier!! Thank you BatesPosted on Home Advisor

Eileen Bucklin4486 days agoGiven the shaky reputation moving companies have, we approached our cross country move with trepidation, especially since we were moving some hard to replace items and small boats and motors. The sense of confidence Bates left with us was justified. Everything arrived intact and on time. All the personnel we dealt with were competent and cooperative. I recommend Bates and the delivery people very highly.Posted on Home AdvisorRuss C4709 days agoFlawless move. The picked up and delivered when they said they would.

They could not have done a better job, and it was a pleasure dealing with them.Posted on Home AdvisorPippa M5001 days agoThe crew of three showed up on-time on a rainy day. They laid out mats and runners to protect the floor. The guys moved steadily all morning and cleared the house by noon. We then traveled the 23 miles to our new home where again, the team of three laid out mats and runner and worked, in the cold and damp, steadily until they were unloaded. They took furniture apart and reassembled it and even moved a few pieces that were in the new house that needed moving. The crew was friendly and professional and I would recommend Bates to anyone in the area in need of movers!!Posted on Yelp
Brian X.6114 days agoVerified
The office staff is extremely friendly and everything was performed fast and timely. Two guys loaded a two-bedroom place in about an hour and unloaded at the new place in the same amount of time. Rates are a little high, the movers are a bit impersonal, and your email address is used for spam. However, nothing broke and everything went smoothly!Posted on Home AdvisorCharlotte H6618 days agoI was in charge of remodeling our office a few years ago. I had never done anything like this before and it was $150,000 job. The person I purchased the workstations from recommended Bates for the storage, moving and installation of the workstations. It was the best recommendation I have ever had. We had the product delivered to Bates and they installed the workstations on weekends for 4 weeks in a row. Bill Von Paris made sure everything was done to perfection; he was always there working right along with his crew. Every member of the team was well trained. They were never late. They never complained or used inappropriate language. They always asked if there was anything else they could do to help me. If I made a suggestion that was not part of the original plan, they made every effort to accommodate my changes. It was always "We can do that." My office thinks I am amazing because of the work they did. I can never thank them enough. In fact, I am in charge of expanding the office again and Bates is making it happen, again on weekends. He even fixed my broken file cabinet the last time he was here when he saw the door didn't close properly. Remodeling an office? $150,000. Having it completed on time every time? Priceless!!!
