Long-distance move from Minneapolis, MN to Petaluma, CA

Cross country move

Big shoulders moved my storage locker from Minnesota to California seamlessly. Everyone I spoke to was professional and friendly. Took the extra time to explain everything to me! I was quoted a potential 14 day move time because of the distance and my things arrived in perfect condition in 5 days! I was shocked. An amazing service and absolutely worth the money! Thank you for making a stressful move so flawless.

Long-distance move from Saint Paul, MN to Warren, OH

Thank God I got to find your company!

Exceptional Services! I can only say we could not have managed the day without the professionalism, help and support from this team. They were absolutely superb. From the moment they arrived they worked hard making sure my Father’s belongings were treated with care and respect. Nothing was broken. They made sure the large pieces of furniture were put in the right place so when Dad eventually got into his house it would be surprise for him.

Horrible

They do not provide door to door service, they sub contract the delivery. Almost all the furniture is damaged. Lost my desktop computer and have been giving me the run around for 10 days. They claim they know where it is but wont share the location or get it to me. The sub contractor showed up for delivery with one person to move a house. I had to help! Do not use them. You will regret it.

Long-distance move from Lexington, KY to Rabun Gap, GA

Thanks for keeping it honest!

Moving is something that I despise. I'm sure most people don't like it either but for me I really don't like it. So while I searched around for a place I wasn't in the best of moods. I did what I read online to do. Get as many quotes, compare and contrast from the info. It wasn't fun calling around at all but it's the best thing for your wallet and piece of mind so you don't have regrets later. This company looked pretty fine online with multiple great reviews but that's not why I chose them. I chose them because they didn't swindle me into some moving package or try and use some special wording to trick me into using their top notch service. They kept it straight with me. To the point just how I wanted it. I can't stand those places tell you one rate and then you find out it's another. They told me a rate and stuck to the quote. Never adding extras on for unexpected delays. The movers worked hard and the staff handled themselves well. I got a lot of respect for these guys. I'm also normally the one who only writes negative reviews when things go wrong. This time I'm giving credit where credit is due.

Long-distance move from Terrace Park, OH to Downers Grove, IL

Recommended!

Team were very professional and approachable. Came around and gave an initial quote for the house. The day of the actual move, they were punctual, very hard working and very understanding with some delays we had, finding ways to utilize their time and make the move as quickly as possible. All the lads were courteous, and then making sure everything went into the correct rooms at the other end.

Long-distance move from Alvaton, KY to Hyattsville, MD

Well done guys you’re doing too good!

Team did a solid job moving belongings for a new business that I was helping open up. Cabinets, chairs, desks, couches were all moved by their staff in a timely manner. Movers listened, worked quick and had a very positive attitude. The quote was very close to the final price that was given. Everything was paid up front and no extra charges were added later on down the line. Movers were great with unloading and placing items where they needed to go as well. All around good company that I would use again if needed.

WORST COMPANY EVER

This company sucks and made my move so much more stressful. There’s no way to sugar coat this. They damaged many of my things, lost others & f’d up my bed during the “reassembly” (the worker put a few panels in upside down, broke one of the supports, stripped the screws, told me it was too complicated & left. I don’t think it was too complicated as me, a 95 lb girl, was able to fix it). The worker who was in charge was also the RUDEST man I’ve ever met. I told him I was looking for a door stop when he arrived, he rolled his eyes. I was setting cold water bottles out for him on the counter, he demanded that I provide him water without noticing I was already trying to do that. I was in tears by the time they left. On top of all this, I was nickel and dimed the whole way. I’m just so devastated over how my things and myself were treated.

Dodgy Crew will rip you off and break your stuff

Just like so many reviews here, my advice is: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are unprofessional, extortive, and will easily turn nasty on you while they rip you off. Sales called me quickly with an attractive price, but, when the crew showed up, they jacked up fees and extorted me for higher tips or "extra fees".

They overcharged me for 20 days of storage, and the owner only gave me a discount because I was quite polite. Then, they didn't want to schedule a delivery date, only a "ten day window" which was resolved when I offered a decent (or no) tip. They used another company to deliver my stuff, and its owner was a dodgy fellow as well, lied to me, and demanded that I pay the balance in cash!

His crew caused over $2,000 in damages, but the "insurance", 3 months later, only offered $130 upon a notarized signed form. What's more, I found out that there was no insurance company as the website boilerplate of the "insurance" company said in small font!!

I strongly advice anyone to consider a more family- or corporate-owned company. You may pay more upfront, but won't need to go through the ordeal of vague communications, surprise overcharges, rude staff, and totally fake insurance.

My Damaged Items

The only reason I gave 1 star is because a 0 star option wasn’t available. They have made this move a living hell. They told me 1 price then charged me another. I believe they pocketed my money. I paid over $5000 to have my items transported just for my glass dresser, glass mirror, 60 inch tv , and kitchen chair to be ruined. I filed a claim on oct 4 and I still haven’t heard anything back from the company. I have left several voicemails and sent multiple emails. The customer service representatives are very rude and lack compassion about my damaged and ruined items. They said they never received a claim even after I sent proof of my claim on Oct 4th. Do not move your items with this company.

Long-distance move from Chicago, IL to Atlanta, GA

Do not use

Unquestionably the worst company/service I have ever dealt with. Do not use!

During my move, I specifically paid extra to have my large TV professionally packed. During the move, my TV, smoker, and dart board were severely damaged/destroyed ($3000 worth of items). I tipped the movers close to $1,000.

When I called about my damaged items, I was routed to an outsourced claim processing company. 3 months later, I received notification I would receive $50 back. Would absolutely not recommend.
