Additional Services

College H.U.N.K.S. provides a number of other services. These are not common services for other removal companies or moving franchisees in the moving industry.

  • Storage services — Depending on the type of moving and storage services needed, College H.U.N.K.S. has a number of storage options available for customers.

The Bad

  • Donation Pickups
  • Damage
  • Pricing

Donation Pickups

Though donating items to charity is commendable, it may not be advised to do this through a moving company such as College H.U.N.K.S. as a number of customer reviews mentioned finding the items that they sent to charity with this company advertised for sale online shortly after pickup. If you are looking to donate and want to make sure that actually happens, look into to borrowing a truck or vehicle so that you can do it yourself. If you don’t do it yourself, it is likely that these items will be sold for profit.

Damage

As is common among moving services, damages do occur during the moving process. Customer reviews reflect occasional issues with damages and employees refusing to accept responsibility for them. If you are worried about your belongings being damaged, you will either need to pack everything yourself, rent a moving truck, or find a company with a replacement guarantee for damaged goods.

Pricing

Receiving free moving quotes is a great perk, but having additional costs added to this original bill is not a fun experience. It is not uncommon for the original bid to be significantly lower than the final price. Customers have mentioned that several hundreds of dollars were added to their bills at the time of moving because of miscalculations by company representatives.

The Bottom Line

If you are looking for a moving service or for someone to haul away some of your junk, don’t be afraid to reach out and get a quote from College H.U.N.K.S. along with other local companies. We recommend this company for its moving and storage services, but not for its junk removal, donation, and recycling services. The moving and storage services provided are priced similarly to other similar companies while the removal, recycling, and donation prices have been fairly higher than we believe necessary. It is likely much less expensive to remove the items yourself.

Overall, we would recommend getting a bid and going through all of the small details of the move to ensure that the bid is as accurate as possible. Whether you are making a local, long-distance, college, corporate, or business move, College H.U.N.K.S. Hauling Junk & Moving is there to help take the stress out of your moving experience.

We used 'College Hunks Hauling Junk' in Tampa, Florida. We used them for a short move (just a few blocks), moved from a two-bedroom condo, on the second floor, to a three-bedroom, one-story home. The guys came by a day or so before to check out what we were moving, they showed up on time the day of the move to wrap all the furniture...and they safely moved all our belongings. It was a very easy move (and we rarely have those). The guys were all very polite and we were very happy we went with them. We gathered several quotes and they were both affordable and great to work with! Highly recommend.

The booking experience was seamless. The guys were totally professional. They explained the pricing policy and answered all my questions. I received a quote prior to the removal of the items. They arrived on time. The payment process was easy and I received my receipt within minutes of the transaction.

Jordan and Pedro were so great, really friendly and professional! They arrived on time for our move and were done in no time. Everything was well taken care of and we would definitely use them for any future moves or junk disposals.

These guys are pretty awesome. I found the negotiations to be very satisfying, as they seem to take great interest in the client's concerns, needs, and budget. They saved me a lot of money, and time consuming effort, to get everything accomplished. In a time of this world's flaws, I highly recommend this company for anyone who needs some amazing service.

Celia Pascoe Allentown, PA

We hired College Hunks to move us from our home to our new place. We got an estimate which was reasonable and were impressed with them at first. They came to review what we had to move and gave us the estimate. The team that arrived seemed to be very professional and quick, never taking a break. It wasn't until after moving they told us that it took them longer than the estimated time and we owed another two hundred dollars. We felt this was unfair since they knew ahead of time the things we had and where we were moving to (not far). In the week afterwards when we were moving our smaller items in, I noticed scratches on our bedroom chest and a lamp table that were not there prior. I didn't go back to them because we had no proof they did it. We should have inspected the furniture better and taken pictures before and after the move. I would not use them again.
