Read some helpful reviews of Virginia Varsity Self Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

We had a wonderful experience with VA Varsity Transfer. The crew of Zach, Dustin, Zach, Jacob, Gabe & Cory was amazing. They were so pleasant and professional and very careful with all of our belongings. They made sure to put everything in the right places in our new home and were respectful of the home we were moving from and the home we were moving to. They slide nothing on the floors-pick everything up. They protected walls, floors, doors and bannisters. We had absolutely no damage. We had a very heavy couch that had to be taken out of our home that was quite a challenge but somehow they did it and we could not be more grateful for that. I would highly recommend VA Varsity Transfer for any move. ... Read more

We could not be more pleased than we are with Virginia Varsity. From start to finish everything was taken care of in a kind and professional manner. My initial inquiry was answered quickly, a price was set and scheduling was set in exactly the time frame I requested. The professionals arrived at exactly the time provided and they worked hard and quickly, all with smiles on their faces. The move took four days and we had the same team with us throughout. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Boxes were packed beautifully, everything was set up exactly as we asked and when we changed our minds on placement they were happy to accommodate. Great communication, a fantastic lead in Zach L. Professional, hardworking, kind and always happy to answer questions. ... Read more

They did a great job! I loved that they put down blankets everywhere to protect our floors and railings. We had multiple heavy and awkward items and they handled it all very well. I appreciated their hard work! ... Read more

The office staff was fantastic to work with to setup our move, even when we had to bump the date out a week because of our buyers. The moving crew was phenomenal! The guys were courteous, professional and so well mannered. They moved efficiently and took great care of our belongings. I would 1000% recommend them. ... Read more

Chris and his team were wonderful! They were all so careful, thorough and polite. Every item arrived safely with no damage. We were moving my elderly parents and they were very kind and aware of their needs. They even left the recliner where they were sitting to last for packing. Overall, it was a very positive experience. ... Read more

My sister recently moved into a nursing home and I had to empty her current small apartment. I decided to call Varsity after a recommendation of my sister in law. Mike quickly answered the phone and after a few questions, emailed me a form to detail what needed to be moved. I completed the online form in 10 minutes and within 24 hours I had a quote for less than $500. They agreed to take her furniture and some other items to the local Good Will as well as help me load my truck with the items she wanted to keep. My move was quickly scheduled for the next Friday. After confirming again online, I arrived at my sisters apartment on the moving date. The Varsity team arrived on time and got right to work. They were done within an hour including taking away a mattress and box spring that could not be donated. I was so grateful for this efficient help. They were terrific and I was able to easily pay the invoice right there (there was a 3% credit fee). I would highly recommend Virginia Varsity transfer. ... Read more

Helped coordinate transfer of a ReloCube onto a smaller truck because semi trucks are prohibited on our street. The crew was fantastic. On time, professional, and nothing scuffed or broken. Virginia Varsity took what could have been a stressful day, into a fast transfer to our home. Highly recommend. Our dog approved of Brandon and Chris. Great crew. ... Read more

I had an amazing experience with Varsity Transfer. From the initial estimate to the day of packing, there was constant communication. Double checks to make sure everyone was on the same schedule, regular check ins, and email confirmations. On the day more than enough guys showed up to pack the entire house in a few hours, and then the next day a new team got everything moved and moved in and unpacked before 5pm. A truly fantastic feat. Not a dinged wall. Not a lost item. Not a single damaged item (actually a Christmas plate got effed but that was my fault for wrapping it poorly). Kenny was in charge of the team for move in day and he kept everyone constantly working efficiently and correctly. I felt confident just leaving the house and letting them do their thing with him in charger. 10/10 would move with again but I will NEVER be moving again. ... Read more

We could not have asked for a better moving experience than what we received from Virginia Varsity Transport. Michael came to our home and did our estimate. We had to do a couple of changes on dates and he was so responsive and great to work with. I was impressed when the team arrived within the 15 minute arrival time provided. Each member of the team were so friendly and personable and introduced themselves. Once entering our property the team had a plan and worked together like a well oiled machine. We were so impressed how each team member handled our items with great care. Our grandfather clock was wrapped in so many layers and done with such care it was like watching artists. We went from a two story home to the fourth floor of our new complex. Shortly after starting the unload the elevator stopped working. The team did not slow down for a second. They immediately hit the stairs. It was an extremely difficult situation for them and they kept the same demeanor that they had begun the job with. They completed just as they had started. The team had just finished a very tough job, yet remained so enthusiastic about the placement of our items. We had not decided on a space for our grandfather clock and Ben the team leader offered a suggestion we had not even considered and it was perfect. We could not have been happier with our move other than having an operational elevator for this wonderful team. Our sincere thanks for a job well done. ... Read more

Varsity was incredible! All of the young men that came and moved our business from Roanoke County over to Salem did a fantastic job! Every one of them were very friendly and professional. Overall an outstanding job! I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone. ... Read more

I have moved many times over the years and Virginia Varsity Transfer was BY FAR THE BEST move I have ever experienced!! The crew(s) moving us out of our old home and into our new home were very professional and very personable. They handled our goods as if they were their own and they took care at both locations not to damage the homes interior in the process. The team supervisor was extremely knowledgeable and very organized. They moved a Baby Grand Piano for us and it was handled perfectly! I give these guys a perfect 10!!! ... Read more

What a professional team! We’ve used VV for our last 3 moves, the most recent was a long distance and they were wonderful. Smooth process and respectful, friendly guys. They will disassemble and reassemble furniture (pretty amazing). We will be using them again next year. Don’t hesitate!! ... Read more

My sister and I had the best experience with Virginia Varsity Transfer for my recent move and under very difficult personal circumstances. HQ provided a very reasonable quote, info on details, and patiently let me change the date several times. They sent a super experienced (including baby grand piano), kind, respectful, attentive, efficient team of four led by amazing Chris and his coworkers David, Jacob, and Mohammad. Their physical strengths were impressive, but it was the respect for the items, situation, customer satisfaction, and pure appreciation for the job and each other that stood out. My sister had brought a playlist/speaker and we all enjoyed the music and shared a few stories. I couldn't ask for a better moving transfer team and company... highly recommend! ... Read more

First time using this company for a move from Roanoke, VA to Tampa, FL. Cost was close to $8k given it was only 1- 26 ft truck with no furniture and mostly odds and ends with lots of storage totes. Types of items matter with pricing I learned. Everything was very smooth and the logistics & price were very good for the quality & convenience of service. A crew of 3 loaded the truck, & with our house having 3 levels I was glad the movers were young and strong guys. On the receiving end they had 2 movers to unload, but it was much easier in Florida with a 1 level home. All in all they were professional & efficient. Any time I move in the future I'll be using Varsity. ... Read more
