Collegian moved my sister in law's furniture from one assisted living venue to another recently. They were cordial and efficient and I will use them again for any future moves that may come up as it truly was a hassle free and fairly priced experience.

We recently hired Collegian to help us move from our apartment to our first home. The movers were on time, professional, and will go the extra mile to help out where they can. They even came with me to our storage unit to help move a large table. Of note, we had several delicate pieces of furniture to move and all were delivered in perfect shape.The booking process was also very easy and no B.S and at the end it was a more than fair price for the work done. I would never even think of calling another moving company after this experience.
