Donation Movers LLC

PLEASE DONT EVEN THINK OF USING THIS MOVING COMPANY!!

I spoke with Paul(I think he's the owner) and got a quote for what I needed and set up a date for the move. I was given the 2-6p slot which was ok. The guys called on moving day to let me know they were on their way, they got there at 3:38 and came up to my place, Paul proceeds to tell me how they almost didn't come because the traffic was heavy.. And he had a bit of an attitude because of it like it was my fault. He tells me the truck had some other persons stuff in it that they were supposed to drop off at a donation place but didn't because of the traffic, I told him he could have called me to let me know that they would be late because the had to drop the stuff off to see if I was ok with it..then he asks me how much stuff I had to move and I told him once again, the apartment and the stuff in my garage, he gets bent out of shape and says " well this might be two trips", and started to move things. In the process of moving my stuff all the of the guys had to use my bathroom which each of them took approx 15-20 minutes in there.. Really? So one of the guys hurt his ankle on the last job and (I felt bad for him) pretty much stayed downstairs moving things which of course took longer since he was hurt. Another guy broke one of my book cases and they weren't (and still haven't) going to fix it like it was nothing, one guy told me to use black tape to cover the break in my book case so it won't show.. We finally get everything moved five hours later and Paul wants to get paid.. So I bring up the book case and Paul said he'll get the piece from Ikea and get it fixed.. Its been over a week now and still nothing from Paul and his moving company. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone!! I sent him an email discussing their service..

Hello,
I wanted to let you know that I wasn't real happy with the service I received from your company for the money I spent. I can understand that you were upset with the traffic and getting to my complex, but that was no excuse for you having an attitude and taking it out on me the customer. I feel that you didn't really give me the service I paid for, which was supposed to be three guys and a truck for $100 an hour plus the $75 for gas and taxes.. the truck wasn't even empty and one of your guys was hurt which wasn't my fault which caused him not to be at full capacity with helping and definitely factored in the time taking longer. I think as a business, there should have been something reduced financially because of that since I didn't cause it to happen. Also, I didn't get a copy of the contract which is bad because now I have nothing showing the agreement that was made for your services. During the move one of your guys broke my book case which if I hadn't said anything about, you would have left and not even tried to do anything about it, and actually you still haven't done anything which you said you'd do. I'm sure you probably won't attempt to fix this situation, but that's ok because believe me everyone I come in contact with will here this story and it will be posted on every site I can get it on, to let people know about the kind of service you give.

You had 3 men move me on 1-16-2013 at 7:00 am from 4225 E. McDowell Rd., Phoenix AZ to a storage unit in Phoenix. They were professional and polite, and hard working guys. My wife and I could not believe how fast they moved our two bedroom apartment. They moved me in less than a 1 1/2 hours. I have moved several times, and I can honestly say this is the 1st time I have not had problems with movers. I am not saying this just because they were fast, but it was shocking to see how efficient they worked. I wish I had taken more note of their names, but I would like to say they did a good job.

I highly recommend Donation Movers.  They were quick to quote and easy to book.  On moving day, they called when they were on their way and showed up right on time.  My apartment has a parking garage where the truck would not fit.  The movers were flexible as to where they could park. They actually parked in a parking lot next to my building on my suggestion.   While 1 mover was parking, the other two started piling and wrapping things. There was no wasted time.  They packed up the truck very quickly and unpacked even quicker.  The movers were great to talk with and very easy to work with.  I am a single girl and I felt very comfortable with the guys.  All and all a great experience!!

This is my second time I used donation movers. I had them to move to our new house early this year with great expeirece. So I tried them again. Yesterday I just had donation movers to help me to move the entertainment center that I bought from another house. Paul gave me a discount/flat rate as returning customer. Movers/Cody and his pal were arriving on 4pm sharp as promised. They are polite and professional, and good communcators. They did excellent job packing/movng/unpacking/set up, they were so carefully with the entermainment center and I could not ask anything more! Definately use them again or recommend to friends.

I first found this company about 3 years ago on the internet.  I used them to move my 2 bedroom into a storage facility.  They were excellent in every way.  I then used them last month to move my furniture out of storage, they couldn't have been better. Not one thing broke, they were early, they finished early and were very professional.  They're charges were very reasonable and would use them again if I had anything to move. I would highly recommend this company.

The movers called early, came early, walked through the job before starting the clock, worked their fannies through entire load - dropped off some of the items at another location before delivering and unloading the rest at my new place.  
There was no problems with any of the items, they wrapped all the furniture, they actually disconnected the water line from fridge even though I had not specified that up front.  
 
They were professional, courteous, completed within 2 hours(total time from loading to unloading).  
 
Given their price, I highly recommend you use this firm.  My other suggestion is to make sure you tip the guys once they complete.  They work hard for their pay and they definitely deserve it. .

This was a great experience right from the minute these 3 men started. They were polite, neat, friendly, careful and fast. They asked alot of questions so they knew what they were taking and how far they had to go. They took special care to load all of our oil paintings carefully in the truck first & not a one was damaged. They took care in shrink wrapping our dressers and cabinets & my computer desk. We didn't think it would all fit in the truck that they arrived in, but it did with room to spare. We told them which way to go to the new place so they would save us time and them alot of heavy traffic, and they followed the instructions and were almost right behind us when we arrived at the gate so we could let them in. It has been a pleasure to work with such wonderful people from the office staff on the phone & answering the e-mails to the moving men. They finished up at roughly the same time we had figured it would take for this move. also, if you have furniture that you no longer want, they will take it away for you and donate it to a needy family or thrift store. You don't have to worry about what your going to do with it. Thats a Big Plus right there. We would use them again in a heart beat, if the need arose for us to move.

We just moved six miles from one house to another.  They guys (Jimmy, Charles and Maurier were outstanding.  They were extremely well manner and took care to wrap all the furniture.  They moved through the house systematically and with the greatest of care. No furniture was damaged or missing.  They also took apart beds, tables, etc. and put them back together without any extra charge.  They hooked up the washer and dryer, too.  I highly recommend this company (I took a leap of faith in hiring them since I had never heard of them).  No worrying necessary.

By far, the best movers I have ever hired! The team worked on 4th of July, when I couldn't find anyone who would even quote me correctly, much less want to do the job on a holiday. They were ridiculously quick (while not sacrificing care for my items), courteous, professional and thoughtful. The price quoted was exactly what I paid with no hidden charges! Thankfully, they arrived early as we were ready and we didn't want to wait all day to get this task done. We finished early, much quicker than I could even imagine. They had the itinerary intact and reviewed each facet completely. I would highly recommend them to anyone as it made such a chore an easy experience and well worth the small cost.

This was our first time hiring movers, so we have nothing to compare them to. But we were very happy with the results. We hired four men. They were on time, personable, friendly, communicative, and worked quickly. They answered all my questions, didn't take any breaks that I could see, and finished in less time than we'd anticipated (3.5 hours)! They fit our whole two story house into one truck--one trip (local move). A few of our things got a little ruffed-up, but I suppose that's unavoidable. I love the added perk of them taking things we wanted to donate. That's a big plus! I also appreciate that they bill by the 1/4 hour and don't round up to the next hour. I would recommend Donation Movers, LLC to my friends and would use them again.

If you value your property do not hire this company!! They moved us from Phoenix to New River and I thought they did a great job, until I unwrapped my brand new $3K refrigerator and noticed there were 2 dings and a large crease on the front of it. I have tried to call Donation Movers several times and sent a few e-mails and no response on how they plan on fixing my refrigerator. They were happy to take my $900 dollars, but will not even give me the courtesy of a return phone call to discuss this issue. Shady company if you ask me. This is not how you treat your customers, I will never recommend this company! EVER!!

We have used this company two times in the past & have referred them to my sister & a friend. When the 3 Mexican guys did the move(s) in the past, they were very efficient, courteous and quick.
The price I paid them compared to our move yesterday, was hands down totally different.
My mom and I will NEVER recommend them again. They broke at least three items, did not cover they stuff that needed it and got my expensive bed dirty. I had to take off for a few minutes when they were loading the stuff from the place we were moving, so I didn't get to see everything they did.
They turned many things upside down & the stuff was thrown around in the drawers from it.
We didn't realize exactly how bad things were until they were gone, so we didn't complain like we would have.
We even paid them a tip. Not as much we would have if they hadn't charged us an arm and a leg.
Also, why would it take them 1-1/2 - 2 hours to get to the new place when it took us between 30-45 mins. I told him we were taking the Hwy!! It didn't take them long to get to our first place, which I find odd, that it took so long to the final destination.
One of the guys named Mike I would recommend he was efficient paid attention, asked for directions if needed & red the box labels that were clearly marked.
The other two, including the owner Paul & Kyle (not sure if he related to him). They weren't personable, slow and didn't pay attention. Paul had an attitude the whole time & the time I saw his smile is when he got paid $600, which should have cost between $300-$400.
We are still finding this messed up & they just put all the boxes in the living/dining area in front of the china hutch, which we asked them not to. Basically we were ignored.
So to sum it up!! Don't use em unless you want to be used and abused!!
Very disgruntled customers.
