The Von Paris story is a page out of Baltimore history as well as the history of the moving and storage industry. It begins in 1892 when a young German immigrant who, through his entrepreneurial spirit, began a small business to help people move their belongings as their jobs relocated around Baltimore.
This business has endured and grown to become one of the few American companies that has experienced over 125 years of operations, growth, and success under one family's ownership and management. Needless to say, the Von Paris name is synonymous with movers and moving companies alike. Since 1892, the name Von Paris has been synonymous with quality.

Research has shown that moving is believed to be one of the most stressful life events one can endure in a lifetime - after finally concluding business with Von Paris & North American Van lines, we must respectfully agree with such a statement.
At the start - The virtual estimate was professional, thorough and convinced us that we would have our items at the start of the wide spread delivery window (starting September 16th). There was never any verbal mention of outsourcing to North American Van lines or a shortage of licensed drivers/trucks/personnel.
It is true Von Paris uses its own trucks

Von Paris Moving and Storage is a reputable moving company in Baltimore, MD but unfortunately they did not live up to their motto of movers "with a gentle touch". Every single step of the way for me to make a difficult move during a job transition and while also juggling an injury was more like a punch to the face. There was nothing gentle about it. The price I paid to make 60 mile, 1 bedroom move was nearly 3x what I had ever paid movers for any previous move, totaling $5,483.20. I have a laundry list of complaints, that began on day 1. I have never felt less like a paying customer than

We completed a move (of furniture, rugs and artwork only) from a condominium to a single family home a few weeks ago with Von Paris M&S... it could not have been a less stressful situation (it was a 3 mile move). Although we were pretty organized, the sales rep (Mark) accurately captured every piece to move and thankfully I had time to make a few small adjustments of things I decided to take ahead of time. The Coordinator (Jackie) communicated regularly with me and the movers were polite, efficient and personable. We found the service from start to finish exceptional and were very happy with

Just wanted to update my review. Upon arriving to my final destination (was in storage for a few months) found this is how they packed the boxes. A few of them were practically empty. One wardrobe box with a small box of toys 95% empty, another with just 5-6 items of clothing. A medium box with a small lamp shade. Other lamp shades not packed at all. When I emailed them to let them know of the problem I was told to file an insurance claim for loss or damage. Seems more like inappropriate packing to me. Would definitely never trust this company to pack. Avoid using them if you can.

Wondered how these people managed to stay in business. I hired Von Paris through my company for a trans-state move. Von Paris subcontracted the move to two other companies and totally messed it up. The subcontractors managed to lose a large box filled with my most valuable items. Talked to my move contact person at Von Paris. She was very rude and did nothing to help find the lost items.

Used them for my move from Baltimore to Ellicott City.
Easy to schedule and they showed up on time and moved all my items with ease. The guys were really nice.
My only complaint, three guys were scheduled but only two showed up to go pack up the truck. Once we arrived at the other house another showed up but I was still charged the full amount.
Would use this service again and recommend to anyone

We have moved many times, both military and non-military... we have left our belongings in storage and we have done door-to-door moves... we have had good moves and we've had challenges. Our most recent move, with Von Paris Moving and Storage, was BY FAR the best move we've ever experienced, bar none. From the first conversation with John Von Paris, I knew we were in the very best hands as every question was answered and every concern was addressed. Mark's estimate was amazingly accurate and thorough, explaining things we hadn't even considered. Kelly kept in touch with us

We had an amazing experience we had in our recent move to South Carolina by Von Paris Moving Company.
From the estimate provided to the moving team, it could have not gone more smoothly. First of all, the estimate done was very accurate. The itemized list was very thorough. He was quick to answer several follow-up questions we had for our move. The team wrapped, padded, and handled our furniture and boxes in a very professional way. Not only were they on time, but the truck was able to unload a day early in South Carolina, avoiding a rainy day. There was not one piece that was mishandled

There were several issues which I have tried to work out with their customer service office before Yelping them.
I have spoken to Kathy-was told I would get a call back and as nice as she is-didn't receive one for a week. Then called a second time and was supposed to get a claim form emailed which has not shown up. Did get a call from the lead moving guy Mike but am not at all satisfied with the response. Here are the issues:
The estimator and final job did not line up. I wanted 2 Pods I had delivered also emptied and that did not happen. Mike the moving manager (?) said it wasn't on

I'll be happy to update this if we actually end up using them for our move, but our experience so far has been more than worrisome.
We contacted them for a quote at the beginning of February for our move in June. They were very responsive, we had a sales person come out and got a quote the same day. The quote was quite a bit higher than the others we received - not just in cost, but the "size" of the move was over 10% higher than the other quotes we received. I questioned it and the sales person had a good response and at that point seemed legit. He walked us through the whole move

Recently used Von Paris for a move. While our procrastination created an emergency for us, they took it in stride and were able to schedule us in four days.
They made a very stressful event in our lives, Easy. The crew was courteous, professional and careful with our things. Would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.
Thanks Von Paris!
