Metro Hop Relocation raised my price $2,000 after I paid a $1,851 deposit, even though I sold furniture and moved less than estimated. The movers they hired caused $20,000 in damage and missing items, took 2 months to deliver, broke my front door, ignored my claim, and then went out of business. I read the bad reviews before booking and asked Metro Hop (US DOT #: 3994573) about them directly. They said price increases only happen when customers add large items at the last minute. They told me they had included the furniture I hoped to sell in case it didn’t sell and built extra room into my estimate, so my price could only go down, never up. I offered photos and video of everything I was moving. They said it wasn’t necessary. After I paid my $1,851 deposit, I sold several large pieces of furniture on my inventory list. Three days before pickup when we went over my final inventory list, Metro Hop said my move was more square footage and raised my price $1,000. They demanded another $688 immediately or I would lose my deposit. Their movers, Spartan Transportation Inc. DBA Midland Van Lines (US DOT # 2630462), arrived a day late, filmed my belongings, and sent the video to Metro Hop, who added another $1,000. They told me I had to pay or lose my $2,539 deposit. In my opinion, this is the business model: underbid, collect a deposit you can’t afford to lose, then raise the price once you’re trapped. My belongings took two months to arrive, and no one would tell me where they were. Delivery came 6 business days past the contract window. The driver refused to unload until I paid in full. The late delivery credit was never deducted or reimbursed, and the movers broke my front door. The claim I filed through their claim company, CSI Claims, was ignored. Metro Hop’s contract says it is not responsible for damage caused by the movers it hires. The movers covered damage at only 60 cents per pound, about $30 for a 50-lb TV. Between the two contracts, almost no one is responsible for your belongings. I’ve filed complaints with 3 state Attorneys General, FMCSA and DOT, and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. I’m not writing this to get money back. I’m writing so it doesn’t happen to you. DO NOT USE METRO HOP RELOCATION. It will cost you far more money than you think you will save from their initial estimate. Before booking any mover: • Book directly with a licensed carrier, not a broker • Get a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing • Buy Full Value Protection, never 60 cents per pound • Be very cautious of deposits. The deposit is what traps you. • Don’t trust a mover just because they’re friendly and reassuring on the phone.

STAY AWAY FROM THEM!! PICK SOMEONE ELSE!!! 1) They are a moving or relocation broker, not a relocation company. The companies they use are not professional and the headaches are not worth your time. 2) They say that they will save you money, but it ends up costing you thousands in overcharges or high estimates from the relocation companies they hand these contracts out to and your stuff gets damaged or broken in the packing, transit, and upacking process.

It has been several months since our move, and I waited intentionally before writing this to make sure my comments were fair. When I hired MetroHop, I believed they were the actual moving company. Only later did I learn they were a broker, and that misrepresentation set the stage for everything that went wrong. The mover they assigned was terrible. We were charged an additional $1,500 for packing fees and materials—even though we had already boxed and labeled everything ourselves. All they did was wrap the furniture. What was supposed to be a single truck going directly to our new home within three days was instead taken to a warehouse, consolidated, reloaded, and delivered a full week later. Several boxes and pieces of furniture went missing after the truck made an unexplained stop before reaching us. Some of those missing items didn’t show up until almost two weeks after the original delivery, others not at all. Throughout this ordeal, calling MetroHop was pointless. They took no responsibility for the mover they hired, repeatedly pushed us off to a company that wouldn’t answer the phone, and when we did reach someone, we were given conflicting or outright false information. Given the misrepresentation, the unexpected charges, the delays, the missing items, and the complete lack of accountability, I cannot recommend MetroHop to anyone. I would never do business with them again.

If you are considering Metro Hop Relocation LLC, stop. This company took $$$$$$ from me and never provided a single moving service. No carrier. No dispatch. No pickup. No communication. After payment, they disappeared. This is not a moving company. It is a broker operation that collects deposits and fails to perform. Multiple red flags: No carrier identification No scheduling confirmation No accountability after payment If you value your money and your time, do not use this company.

On November 4, 2025, I called Metro Hop to receive an estimate to move my household goods from NY to NC. I spoke with Chuck Connelly, Metro Hop sales rep, and he assured me that Metro Hop was a military friendly company, thereby they will not charge me any fees if my moving plans change. Chuck informed me that a deposit was needed to reserve my moving request at a discounted price. He stated that Metro Hop would not take the deposit on American Express and only on a Visa. Again, he assured me that a refund would be given if requested. On November 5, 2025 at 10:30 am, I spoke with Chuck Connelly, and clearly informed him that I was cancelling the moving request from the prior day and requested a refund of my deposit of $4931.00. He said that the deposit would be refunded in a week. I called to check on the status of the refund on November 13, 2025, and customer service representative informed me that Chuck had incorrectly added notes about calling back to attempt to renegotiate a new sales price. I informed her that Chuck had falsely added those notes. I was informed by her to submit a request for the refund in writing via email, because the refund will not be processed until Metro Hop has the refund request in writing. I sent the email, requesting the immediate refund, to the address I was given immediately after speaking to the Metro Hop customer service representative. To date Metro Hop has not refunded my money and tells me that a Visa investigation must run its course, and that usually takes 90 days. After researching the internet regarding Metro Hop reviews, there are multiple complaints of similar stories where consumers are scammed by Metro Hop. Metro Hop has lied to me and taken my money without providing any service. Please record this complaint and warn other consumers of this company's unscrupulous tactics.

Metro Hop Relocation in Boston was amazing for our move to Nashville. Will in sales worked out a complicated schedule for us and made sure everything stayed on track. The movers were quick, efficient, and took great care of our items. For professional long distance movers, this is the team you want.

Review for Metro Hop Movers I had a truly awful experience with Metro Hop Movers, and I feel compelled to warn others. My contract clearly stated a cost of $1,890, but when the move was finished, I was shocked to see an additional $800 in hidden charges added on top. Even though I requested a video call beforehand to confirm cubic feet measurements and avoid surprises, the company still piled on fees that were never explained upfront. The problems didn’t stop there. The movers arrived without basic packing materials — no boxes for my couch pillows, and nothing for my TV. The driver himself admitted that the company should have informed me about what items I needed to pack in advance. Instead, they slapped on another $150 charge just to wrap and cover the TV, which was never mentioned before moving day. To make matters worse, they even charged me an extra $50 for the tape they used to wrap my belongings. That kind of nickel-and-diming is unacceptable and shows a complete lack of professionalism. This lack of transparency, preparation, and honesty turned what should have been a straightforward move into a stressful and costly nightmare. I felt blindsided, frustrated, and taken advantage of at every step. A moving company should prioritize clear communication and arrive properly equipped, but Metro Hop Movers failed on both counts. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. If you do consider them, demand every detail in writing, confirm they will bring the necessary supplies, and be prepared for hidden charges. Otherwise, you may end up paying far more than expected, just like I did.

They failed to book a mover for the two-day window I gave them. When movers finally showed up, Metro Hop had not disclosed that a piano was involved. They also did not tell the movers that packing was involved. Both were on the quote from Metro Hop but NOT with the movers. Final bill was TWICE what Metro Hop quoted and move had to be delayed further.
