College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving - Topeka

The 3 guys did okay; however, the experience, in general, was not as promised in the video that was sent a day or 2 before the move. It is winter and the video promised protection to floors and walls. At our pickup location they tracked back and forth with no shoe protection in the salt & slushy mess of our sidewalks. My mother texted to tell me this so when they arrived at our new home I explained I had just paid $700 to clean the floors and asked their plan. The driver told me that the video I referred to was not for them it was the Florida company. Eventually we reached a compromise for them to lay moving blankets down. They did hustle and were pretty careful yet I found them to be very disorganized. Not everything is the same shape & size, but sometimes they'd stack one weird thing that was obvious that nothing else could stack there. It really wasted space. We used a lot of plastic totes and uniform moving boxes; you'd think would help. I labeled boxes in huge lettering to say MASTER yet I would have to tell them Master bedroom for the location each time. In the end I don't want to be too critical on them as they were kind and I felt like they weren't being careless it's just maybe someone could give them some pointers and maybe the management from their specific location should review the promises being made by Corporate and also if Corporate is going to market a certain experience there should not be such big discrepancies.

Great service I appreciate how fast they got my grandmas front n side yard cleared out . My grandma hordes randoms stuff from her gate all the way to her door and for a reasonable price they took care of it .

Long review-This was our 2nd experience with this company, but first time moving with them. The first interaction we had was to donate items, and we had an amazing experience, so we came back for moving services.For this move, we were moving from a townhome to a house about 30 min away. My husband and I wanted to move all of the smaller things prior to needing services, so we only needed help with moving larger items from a three bedroom townhome to a split level house. I can only comment on these components and not on packing or handling delicate items.Here's how it worked- I filled out an online form, and got a call within 15 minutes to set up a quote appointment. They were very flexible and had a lot of availability. We got someone out to do a quote 1 to 2 days after that call. Reese was the person that came out to get a better idea of how much time would be needed and how many guys in order to get stuff done would take. He was awesome! He called ahead of time to double check our address and showed up at the beginning of the time estimate. He was very professional and only took about 20 min to walk through and answer my questions. He sent a quote on email to me within a couple of hours. After getting the quote, we booked them! The price was about what we were planning on doing if we rented a truck and had friends help us move, but this was wayy easier.We were unsure with time and dates, but moving in December seemed to work in our favor with having multiple days and hours available by this business. On the day of the move we had Caleb and Colby take care of our items and get us to our new house. They were absolutely incredible! I would highly recommend them to friends and family members. These guys were both extremely professional and got the job done in no time! They were friendly and made sure that they got everything we needed from point A to get to point B. I was very impressed with their communication with us through the short time they were with us! They were efficient and took excellent of all of our valuables! With the past few years of covid- it has been hard to find a group of people to help that carried the skills listed above-these guys were rockstars today and i reqlly appreciated them!

So I spoke to this organization about "reasonable movers" and they quoted me TRIPLE the amount of what local movers are charging plus they could not guarantee a time!Yes it was the TOPEKA TEAM AND NO I WILL NOT "RELOCATE MY REVIEW"!

Currently waiting to resolve an issue with the company. Will complete this review when the matter is completed. So far they have been responsive to my issue.

- [ ] Overall poor service- [ ] Came in above quoted price despite moving fewer items - I moved many of the items I asked them to move and they ended up charging me 50% more than what was quoted- [ ] Damaged multiple pieces of property including ruining new bed - they paid for cheaper screen replacement but ultimately disappointed that I saw them moving my bed without furniture covers and because of that they took huge gouges out of my bed- [ ] I expect they will leave response challenging accuracy of these items but I already directly reached out to them, they acknowledged the problems but refused to rectify. They said that this damage to my property is a risk you take with moving with them

We recently completed a move with College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving. They were one of three companies that bid the job. They were chosen based on price and reviews. My intent is to tell you of our experience with them.The Estimator arrived on time and spent an hour with me reviewing the contents and our needs which was both packing and moving all household items. Contact from the company was consistent and all seemed well in hand. The Estimator had indicated that packing would occur on one day and the physical move the next.On the day of packing 5 people arrived and later a 6th. The lead for the crew met with me immediately and said their Estimator had incorrectly determined the amount of time it would take to pack. The estimate was 2 hours, the actual time was 8 hours of which they requested payment at the end of the day and had the audacity to ask for a tip.On the move day 5 people arrive and later a 6th at around 8:30 am. It was estimated it would take two loads to move our belongings. The first load left for the new location at around mid-day. I was told at that time it would probably take two and a half loads to complete the move. I was also asked if I had any water. I purchased a case of water for the crew. After the second load was delivered mid-afternoon the crew leader indicated it would take probably two more loads. After delivery of the third load, they lost crew members for the day. Now there were only four hunks to move, it was late afternoon, and they were hungry and apparently had no money for food. I gave them money to eat. To bring this portion to a close it took 3 more loads and we finally had everything under roof at 1 am.In the early evening the local manager showed and said they had severely underestimated everything about the move. He indicated that an adjustment would be made on the final settlement. There was and adjustment, but the final cost was approximately $2500 more than their estimate.We thought the bad news had ended but were shocked when we opened boxes. Items were poorly packed. I think they were focusing on the moving junk part of the company name and not our household belongings. We are still looking for items. In addition, the hardwood floors we had just resurfaced were damaged as well as nicks in some furniture and walls. I spoke with the manager the night of the move and he indicated he would send someone over this week, but no one has contacted us. I have since asked about how to file a claim but received no response.In summary, the positive is the hunks were worked hard and at least 4 of them stayed till the end. However, I would think twice about using this company. If only one review spoke of under estimation of cost, you might consider it a one off. However, the is another review from May 28 had the same terrible experience. Makes you wonder about the company. My recommendation, BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Son contacted them, and they came over to give him an estimate. But then they ask for full payment before the move. He offered a deposit, but refused to give them the full amount, till the job was complete. They agreed to the price and the date set. When he called to confirm, only spoke to answering service. Never heard back! 1 week later 3 calls later, he was left to get another company. Do not use this company !

The guys moving me were fantastic. They were very confidential during my very difficult move in a bad situation, they were very professional and the move job was done pretty quickly, I was amazed. Will definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

5 star plus review! Logan and his 2 coworkers did an outstanding and very professional job. The quality of work was top notch. They exceeded my expectations. The cost was very fair for the amount of work that was done. I will definitely recommend College Hunks to my friends and family. Thank you for a job well done!
