First Due Movers

First Due Movers were very friendly and courteous. They took a lot of care in organizing my stuff to fit in my 12′ truck. They loaded up my items within an hour. I highly recommend them.

I highly recommend First Due Movers! A few days ago we moved an elderly family member from a house to an assisted living apartment. If I ever move again, they will be the first and last movers I call. I have made quite a few moves over the years and I have been involved in several office/​commercial moves. First Due movers tops any movers I have ever worked with. Moving is never fun but First Due made it a lot less painful than it could have been. Communicating with the staff was simple and I could reach them by phone or email. They called me a few days prior to the move to answer any questions and verify the move schedule. Two clean cut guys, polite, hardworking guys (if you have ever worked with movers before you know finding all these qualities in one package can be rare) showed up right on time. They went through the house to size up the contents of the move and then they went to work. I was amazed by how well they wrapped each piece of furniture in blankets and then plastic wrap. They use these great wood rolling carts to put smaller items like lamps, pictures, etc. They worked tirelessly the entire time. They even ate their lunch in the truck on the way to the place that was being moved into. When it came time to place items in the new space they were very accommodating to place items exactly where we wanted them. So glad the move is over and so glad we found out about First Due.

The team at First Due is awesome. I was referred to First Due by my co-​workers so I decided to give them a call and I am very glad that I did. We were just moving within neighborhoods in Seattle but had a very narrow window around which we could move. First Due was able to work around my schedule and move us on a Sunday with approximately 1.5 weeks notice — thank you for being so accommodating! I highly recommend using their ‘Fire Boxes’.
The process went like this… I called First Due to schedule a walk-​through and estimate. One of the First Due team came by my apartment. He was able to provide me an estimate that same day. The estimate was a bit on the high-​side so I had some reservations initially. But, after speaking with them and meeting the estimator I had the impression that they were very professional and that they would take care of my things.
The fire boxes were delivered a few days before my move. They were very clean and in excellent condition. We were able to pack all of our small items from a ~800 sq ft apartment in 45 fireboxes. If you choose to rent the fire boxes I would suggest renting the 30 fire boxes. If you are not able to fit all of your items you can always make a couple trips yourself to move some of the small items. Either way you cannot go wrong using these. The price I was quoted for the firebox was for 2 weeks and it was much lower than competing options. The fire boxes also come with rolling carts which make them super easy to move.
I received a confirmation call on the Friday prior to the move as well as the day of before the movers left the warehouse. I had First Due bring 7 wardrobe boxes for my clothes but they only needed to use 4 of them. They only charge for the wardrobe boxes that you use.
There were 3 movers and 1 truck. The truck was very clean and my items were securely packed in so I did not have to worry about them being damaged. When they moved items in and out of my apartment they did so with care, they put down floor mats to protect the floors, and I did not find even a single scratch on my walls or furniture afterwards. I have had previous movers that destroyed the walls in my apartments and was amazed at how careful the First Due movers were with my stuff and the apartment.
The guys were very professional and efficient. I was moving from First Hill to Lower Queen Anne and the apartment I was moving out of had incredibly slow elevators. So, we were afraid the move would take 8+ hours. However, the movers were able to finish much faster than expected ~6.5 hours all while taking great care of our stuff. They wrapped everything in blankets and plastic wrap to protect it. I was concerned about the impact on the environment of using plastic wrap however First Due does recycle the plastic wrap. They said they compact the wrap up into squares to use for archery targets for summer camps. They also mentioned that if we requested it we do not have to use plastic wrap. But, using the wrap helps prevent items from sliding around in the truck…
After the move First Due stopped by when I was ready and picked up the Fire Boxes from my apartment. It felt great not to waste all that cardboard and to have someone come and take away all my moving boxes when I was done with them. They also followed up with me to make sure that everything went well with the move.
I will definitely use First Due again in the future and I HIGHLY recommend this moving company to anyone that is thinking about using movers in the Seattle area. If I could give them another star I would.

These guys were amazing! We are empty nesters moving to a smaller house and had WAY too much stuff accumulated over the years. First Due packed, moved and loaded more quickly than I could have imagined. Every member of the team was friendly, polite and helpful. It was a stormy day and they double wrapped all of our furniture — first padding and then plastic so everything arrived at our new home without a scratch or water drop. I recommend them without hesitation.

My move with First Due was top notch! Scheduling and setup logistics were a breeze, even though I had a million questions and had to change the day. Marcus was super responsive via email. I got a confirmation call 2 days before and the team was on time on the day-​of. The initial estimate was quite good, based on a picture I sent of the storage unit. The guys packed the van completely full, and were very conscientious of all of the loose items. Everything made it to the new house without issue.
Loved my experience with First Due! Will definitely use them again and recommend them highly!

I don’t hesitate to recommend First Due movers, for any move… big or small. Our moving date changed three times, and they were nothing but accommodating! They even went as far as agreeing to move us on the Fourth of July, when the date had changed for the third time (with no additional cost for moving on a holiday) The day of the move, Emerson and his team did a phenomenal job… they were all such hard workers, courteous, polite, and wanted to ensure our happiness. In some cases, furniture moved around multiple times, and it was all done with a smile. If you’re looking for first-​rate moving, use First Due Movers!

I had a move with First Due Movers today so everything is fresh in my brain. They were 15 minutes early, worked fast, were friendly and professional. My move was done in half the time I thought it would be. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Everything you hope movers could be — fast, efficient, friendly… Highly recommend. They were really great!

I couldn’t recommend this company more! My move was actually fun! Emerson, the ginger leader of my moving team was amazingly courteous and thorough. Steve, was the gentleman who disconnected all of my electronics and placed them lovingly in a box in such a way that it only took me 15 minutes to reinstall my home theater system one I got to my new place. The other two guys, Kyle and Tanner took care of my things add if they were their own.
The only thing is, THESE GUYS ARE NOT CHEAP! But if you want bargain basement pick up laborers at. Home Depot, these guys are legit.
PS: the guys are all very cute! Lol

Recently I discovered I had to move with only 8 days notice! Single-​handedly I had to pack up a 2600 sq ft. house, find another home, sign a lease and move. Chaotic doesn’t begin to describe it. I was all set to go with another moving company when a colleague recommended First Due Movers. Switching to them was, ahem, a great move. They were ON TIME for their bid, pick and delivery. They were courteous and helpful every step of the way. They repeatedly extended themselves beyond my expectations.
Was the move perfect? Heck NO! Moves never are and this was a huge job– 12 hours/​8 men. Here’s where I was delighted– anything that went wrong or differently than I expected was fixed the minute I mentioned it. That’s great service. They didn’t consider the job over even after I was moved and they were paid. The job wasn’t complete until every last detail had been taken care of. And their price was competitive and worth it.
I don’t plan on moving again for a long time but, if I need to, I will hire them again.

I recommend these guys to everyone!
They did a move for me and I was so impressed with them from start to finish.
They were fast, super efficient, arrived early and totally professional. It was honestly one of the best moves I’ve ever had thanks to these guys! They made moving furniture look easy– which I know it’s not! They communicated awesome to each other as they were getting things out and into the truck which was total peace of mind for me. It was amazing to see them pack their truck like Tetris with our things!
They also had higher quality moving pads than the ones I bought and higher quality plastic wrap for the beds with them on the truck too.
Call them early for a quote and to get on their busy schedule!

First off, their other reviews are accurate. We have always moved ourselves over the past 8 years. After acquiring an extra large leather couch and new king mattress, we were dreading moving out of our condo. It took us over two hrs to move in those two items alone. We timed the two men, they had both items out and in their truck within 30 minutes!
We are most certainly hiring them again for our next move. They were fast, careful, and honest. Best to say, I also enjoy paying local firefighters too. They save the houses and the survivors while I nurse the survivors. Well done and thanks for saving me from a sore back!

Highly recommend First Due Movers! John came and gave us a very fair estimate. We were moving out of a 3500 sq ft house, moving a portion of our stuff to a 1500 sq ft townhome and the rest to a storage unit. To try to save some money, we moved some of the smaller stuff to storage ourselves. I Called 3 days before our move to give Jeff a heads up that we would have a bit less than the original estimate and was assured that it was no problem to remove 1 mover and one truck. Our movers showed up 15 minutes early (on Memorial Day no less), and got right to work. We were amazed at the speed these guys worked at. It took them about 3 hours to wrap everything and pack 2 trucks, 1 to storage and 1 to the house. The storage truck and 3 guys were able to get a ton of furniture into an already packed unit in about an hour. The house truck and 5 guys were able to unload and put together all the furniture in about 2 hours. Total time was 6 hours and I never thought they could do it that quick. This group of guys were personable and total professionals. The only fatality — a $ 10 terra cotta pot. Oh well. First Due Movers made a very stressful move for me, into a relatively stress free day! Thanks guys!

I just moved yesterday, and I couldn’t have done it without First Due Movers! They did such an amazing job! They guys were friendly, professional, and seemed liked they enjoyed their job. They finished faster than estimated, which was the best part! I was worried about my extremely heavy couch and only 2 guys to lift it, but they did (it took 4 – 6 people to move it before)!
Tip for the Ladies out there: don’t pack your makeup like I did… they’re pretty cute firefighters!
Next time I move I know who I’m calling!

Never used a moving company before, but glad we did in moving our 4 bedroom home this past October. These guys were great! Initially we had to move our things temporary into storage for a month. They were great in recommending a nearby storage unit that offered great 1^st month discounts. Second, they offered to rent us several blankets for the month (at a very reasonable rate), instead of unwrapping our furniture when the items were moved into storage.
In the 2^nd half of our move, they moved everything out of storage and into our home lickity-​split-​fast. A full crew of 6 guys were careful and conscientious about placing our things in the correct rooms of a 2-​story home.
Most recently in December, we rehired them again to move an item we bought on Craigslist. Two (2) guys moved a larger/​heavy 8ft table and chairs easily.
The least I could do is spread the word about these guys.

These were a great bunch of guys who made our move experience really free of additional stress.
First was the quote, which was completed in about a half-​hour. They were upfront about all the charges involved, and also pointed out that their final charges many times come in less than the original estimate.
On the day of the move, they were on time, and did a really terrific job with both heavy and fragile items. They moved things with care and placed them where we wanted them in the new house.
And yes, they did come in below the original quote.
It’s unlikely there’s any other moving company that would do better. We are glad we chose them for our move.

Surprised not to see any reviews of this great company yet. We had them move us from North Bend to Issaquah, and were impressed with every aspect of their service. The owners are local firemen and the movers were all associated with the fire department: either in training or volunteer fire fighters. Everyone was extremely polite and professional. They worked hard and quickly – no smoke breaks or any of the other stalling tactics that reviewers of other movers have complained about – and the final bill came in $ 100 under the original estimate. None of our stuff was damaged, we have no complaints whatsoever.
The best part of this company is the fire department connection. Everyone is a member of the community with a lot of stake in their reputation and they all freely told us which local firehouse they work at. They’re not gonna send a bunch of sketchy ex-​cons to your door.

Thanks to Joe and Jim for packing and Paul, Joe, Chris, Chris and Jeff for moving this week. It was a pleasure being around such fabulous men who worked long and hard with integrity, honesty and above all else, humor. They went above and beyond. There is absolutely no reason to use any other moving company in this area. Loved them all and thank you Gentleman from the bottom my heart. And, by the way, my daughter really, really thanks you, too!
