Just had Arthur, Alex and Miras moce my apartment in west Philly. Everything went swimmingly and they’re fast. Highly recommend.
Ruslan and his team were amazingly kind, punctual, quick and efficient. They loaded the truck with my entire one bedroom apartment in less than an hour, and arrived right on time. They definitely made my move from Philadelphia to DC as smooth as it could have been. The price was also very reasonable. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for reliable movers!

Kimmi and Alex were amazing!! I had other friends who moved around similar times as me and they used a different moving company but they had horrible experiences. Kimmi and Alex handled everything and made this move a breeze. A downside for me was the large window of time when they could arrive and start the move, but that's just because I love a tight schedule so it is no reason not to still give y'all 5 stars. As a girl who lives in Philly without any family, Kimmi and Alex handled my things with care and were better than if my family was moving my things. They unfortunately were unable to mount my TV at my new apartment due to not having a tool to check for electrical, but I don't mind because I don't even have my wifi set up yet so I can't use it anyway. I could not recommend WellKnown Moving Co more! When it comes to moving in Philly, based off my friend's experience with their moving companies, WellKnown Moving Co is the only way to go!
Did a short move (under a mile) but with a lot of things. Tyler and Alex were super prepared, knew exactly how to pack the things I listed in advance, and got everything done quick as can be. I've been very stressed out over moving, and they helped everything go incredibly smooth!
Nagiz and Kurmanbek were so helpful and amazing!!!!!! They did it so quick too.
Nagiz and Kurmanbek did a great job, everything went quick and they took great care of our items. Would definitely recommend.
Nagiz and Kurmanbek were incredible! Kind, respectful, quick, and responsible. 10/10 would recommend you anyone!
Aibek and nick were great!
Adam and Tim were absolutely amazing. They took care of our move from Philly to New York. They communicated through every step, were efficient, professional and accommodating. Highly recommend. Thank you!
Adam and Miras were phenomenal and so quick.
