Ocean Moving & Storage

We moved from Florida to Arizona March 2012.  It's taken me this long to calm down about it to review it.  The original quote was for $1500.  When they came to load up the truck, they packed and wrapped things they didn't have to and even charged us per roll of packing tape.  By the time they arrived in Arizona, a week late, we were already over them.  The driver refused to bring the truck into the complex to unload.  They, instead, took the truck to a Uhaul place, rented a smaller truck and loaded our belongings on to it and delivered it to us that way.  They charged us $800 to do that!  CASH ONLY!  It was a Sunday and no banks were open.  We did withdraw half of that and they reluctantly charged the other half on our credit card.  These guys are scam artists.  They hold your cargo for ransom.  I wish I would have read the reviews before I picked them out.  It's ok though, we sent the IRS an I9 form for the CASH ONLY they took from us.  At least they had to claim it.  DON'T USE THIS COMPANY!!

I'll first say, I was pretty disappointed in my experience. To be fair, they did take into consideration protecting some of my items like my TV and my canvas bags. The disappointment lies in other things. 1) The crews failed to call me on pick up AND delivery that they had to push back the times they could be there. On pick up, I had to call the company and they told me that they were going to be there in the afternoon instead of the morning which they had failed to tell me, which meant I waited all morning for nothing when I could've been out doing other things. 2) They were completely careless with my other items. It seemed like once they took my boxes, they were just dropping them and throwing them around instead of setting them down gently. Neither crew had a hand truck which was completely shocking to me because I figure that a hand truck would be a pretty basic and essential piece of equipment to have when you're a moving company. Needless to say, some of my items were damaged. I know it depends on how well you pack things, but if items are handled carelessly enough, things will get damaged no matter how well you pack them. They did deliver my items fairly quickly, but overall, I found the experience very disappointing. I would recommend anyone to continue to shop around and find someone else.

What a wonderful experience, from start to finish.  Roman was really thorough when talking to me about my move.  I requested full packing service for my 2 bedroom home and everything was packed very well.  The crew was very courteous and careful with my things and they handled my piano very carefully. Priceless!! 
I had things in basements and garage and the guys made sure nothing was left behind. 
Roman also helped me with my car, which arrived in two days! 
I would certainly recommend Ocean Moving and Storage to my friends!

I just wanted to give a shout out to Ocean Moving and Storage! I just recently moved from Hollywood, FL to Alexandria VA in early April. I relocated back to VA for work. I was contacted by a sales rep named Sal, who was amazing! I felt comfortable and confident I was in good hands. The truck showed up on time, the movers were very polite and took quality care of my things. They made sure everything was properly wrapped and secured in the truck. I highly recommend this company. They took care of all the logistics. I am very pleased with this company and will be using them in the event of a future move.

I had a wonderful experience moving with Ocean. It was a last minute move with a small shipment and a short window for pick-up. Sal was delightful to work with and gave me a very competitive quote based on the exact # of items and not the minimum amount which other companies quoted - (and were significantly higher). The driver, Pierre, arrived 5 days after my initial contact with Sal and in short order carefully covered and loaded my shipment in FL. Pierre was a consummate professional - very efficient & courteous! Six day later, Pierre arrived in MA and delivered everything in perfect condition. I heartily recommend Ocean and their professional staff. .

I would highly recommend oceans moving and storage. they were extremely professional courteous and willing to get the job done to perfection.the truck arrived 2 days earlier than expected and the install was done with the same professionalism. I would like to think both of the movers that came to the house unpacked the bed perfectly and thank you to Roman who coordinated all aspects of my shipping job. If I had to move again I would definitely hire this company but thank God I won't be moving for at least another 20 years. Great job guys and thanks again.

I talked to several local moving company in the Miami area, and finally Ocean. I found Roman (Sales Person) to be very informative and gave me an accurate price with no hidden costs. He was very proffessional and immedialtely followed up to ensure that all went weel. The moving crew showed up on time and did an excellent job in packing up the furniture and protecting it to avoid damage. In summary I would highly recommend Ocean they did an excellent job!

This company caught our attention by giving us a great quote for our move of about 1 room full of stuff. $850. We thought wow great deal! I wish I had come to this website and read the reviews first because they are completely accurate! They showed up in a budget rental truck to pick up our stuff. If they hadn't had paperwork from Ocean moving I would have completely thought we were being robbed!! The end story is they doubled my charge and the total move cost me $1670! I also had to rent a uhaul and meet them at a walmart because they swore they couldn't make it into our complex! My wife and I had to move everything into our apartment ourselves! Also they broke one of our dressers right in front of me and had the audacity to still ask for a tip! I will never recommend or do business with them again!!
