Really happy with their service and performance. I had about 8-10 quotes from other moving companies, ranging from internet based moving companies to the large recognized van lines. It got to the point where my parents (where half my my things were stored) told me that they weren’t going to let anyone else in the house to help with a quote. So here I was, with 8-10 quotes, and Arpin (Transtar) was the last to get into my parents house. I had to make a choice. My move was in a few weeks…. we were going from Philly to a state down south, so it was a big move.I ruled out the internet based moving lines, despite the fact that they were the nicest and gave me the best price. However, I read really scary reviews where your things end up getting held hostage, movers never showing up, getting bills thousands above your initial quote, etc… so I decided not to take the chance with them. The large recognized national moving lines were fine, but they weren’t very nice. They gave me a "take it or leave it" attitude, were pushy and very sale-sy and required a huge deposit of about $2k to "book" with them, so….That left Transtar/Arpin. The sales guy was actually phenomenal. I don’t know what it was about him but he just seemed honest. He wasn’t trying to kiss my behind, he gave me a price that was comparable, and he just overall seemed to be down to earth– and I’m a NY’er (lived there for 17 cumulative years since college) and I *think* I can spot bullsh** but you never know, right?To top it off…. of ALL the moving companies, they didn’t require a deposit of a few thousand dollars!! I ended up choosing Transtar/Arpin, but second guessed myself constantly. What if they didn’t show up? What if the people who showed up were unprofessional? What if? What IF?? It was driving me crazy.So on the day of the move, they arrived as promised. The driver was the same guy who drove all our stuff to our new place. Half the moving crew was also the same from start to finish. They were super professional and I’m SO glad I chose them. A few things in our boxes broke but it was our own fault for not packing it better. We may move again in a year or two… and I would definitely go with Arpin/Transtar moving again.
