Prime Relocation Services Inc

I choose to use Prime for my move that I setup for my mother. She is really picky, sorry mother.. but they really helped put her at ease for her move from Littleton, CO to Dallas, TX. I did a couple other estimates online and over the phone and this is the only company that offered to see her stuff. They also weren't pushy. I got another estimate for $1000 less but it was obvious what these other companies were trying to do to my mother! It would seem the other companies were unwilling to see the move so they could demand my mother pay more money or something. I've done a move like that before when I moved. Don't fall for that! Prime was willing to see the move before we set it up. They gave me the correct price. Not sure if I saved money, but the service was amazing.

Ryan M. was my rep at Prime and he was fantastic. He spent hours customizing the service for Mom. I even called him the night before the move at 10pm and he answered my question about tipping! I've never worked with someone so dedicated, maybe he was the owner? On move day, the 4 guys arrived to pack and load up. They were clean, spoke English, and took their time. My mom was hovering over them the whole time but they weren't phased by it. She was so happy with them which if I'm honest, is a pretty hard thing to do. I paid extra to have them pack the TV, glass tables, and other stuff but we packed our boxes. I was over on the box count but they didn't charge me extra. They said that Ryan over estimated the space so I was good.

I had our delivery a couple days ago and nothing was missing. They put her bed together and left, it was uneventful and I'm fine with that. Thank you Ryan and Prime Relo!

Prime relocation are thieves and liars. My family and I were moving form California to Oregon and getting quotes from multiple companies. We got a call from a man named Conner saying that we were in luck and that someone had canceled there moving truck from California to Oregon and he could give us a big discount on our move to use that truck. That was a complete lie. When it came time for moving day three guys show up in a Enterprise rental truck and tryed too double the price on us. I called prime relocation to cancel the move and they said I would not get my $1500 deposit back. We could barely afford to move but we had to so we paid them the double price. They loaded the truck and left, after dumping their garbage in our yard. We though at that point they would drive the truck to our new house in Oregon but we were wrong. They took our stuff to a warehouse and unloaded it there, were it sat for weeks. Then they put it on a big rig truck and drove it to Oregon. After that they called and said the big rig could not make it to our house and we would have to pay for a shuttle service to take our stuff from the big rig to our house costing an additional $1900. I refused because there is plenty of room for a big rig to get to our house they said if I don't pay I could come get it myself, so like an idiot I paid. So then three different guys showed up with our stuff and made me pay the rest of the money in cash and sign the inventory before they would unload the truck. Once they unloaded the truck in my front yard making me and my wife bring it inside ourselves they left quickly and that's when I realized that my brand new $1200 generator was missing. They had stolen the most valuable piece of equipment that I owned, not only that but they charged me an extra $100 for the generator because it was "bulky". Everyone that I talk to along this arduous process had no integrity at all. They were all happy to look me in the face and screw me over with a smile on their faces. Not a single person apologized or acted like they gave a sh*t at all. I will be suing Prime Relocation and the brokers for false and misleading business practices and theft. I have already reported them to the better business bureau. Every person in this company should rot in hell.

The reason I chose this company is all the 4 and 5 star reviews they receive, but this move was such a hassle and I could not believe how unresponsive the company was to my move (esp. during a pandemic). During the moving day I got 1 phone call from the company to update me on my pick up and I spent my day (a Saturday) searching for someone to answer their phone. Nothing. After a 9-11 AM appt. time, they arrived at 8:45 PM and finished packing at 1:30 AM. At 10:00 the movers were adjusting my bill and asking for thousands of more dollars (literally) for my move. I realize these adjustments are allowable, but at 10:00 on a Sat night there is no way to talk to anyone in the office to verify or consult. Yes, ridiculous.

My rep Niko Callis never reached out before, during or after the move, and what's worse, wouldn't return my calls. He said my property would not be transferred from one truck to another after pick up, and he didn't tell the truth. My stuff arrived on a completely different truck. After telling him of the pick up debacle, he asked to put everything in an email but then never responded. Really don't know how he could have been worse. Get another job that doesn't require service.

After asking customer service for a discounted rate, they said they would consider it when the movers arrived for delivery. Oh, really? At 8:45 at night again? Unacceptable. After having to seemingly fight to talk to someone in a supervisory position, M. Lavanda forgave the final payment due upon delivery. I will say that Mr. Lavanda was very apologetic and empathic (unlike anyone else I had dealt with) and I appreciate his professionalism.

The movers were fine. One piece of furniture had damage upon arrival.

I will also say, after looking at the cost of the moves of some of these other reviews, I feel completely ripped off. I had a studio apt and my revised, estimated charge was $5343 from San Francisco to Dallas. I have zero faith that the fee was fairly and appropriately calculated. I would never, ever recommend this company.

Move size: Studio Service cost: $4809

I've been waiting OVER A MONTH for my furniture and household goods to be delivered, the contract is in breach, and the company has NO ETA on delivery for me. They do not answer any of my calls or emails, they screen out my phone number. I have to call with other phone numbers in order to get them to pick up. I have no idea if I will ever see my belongings again. I have paid 90% of the total cost of the move.

Estimate given was based on very detailed description of my furniture and number of boxes I told them I'd have was correct. It was based on cubic feet of space, not weight. On day of pickup, the mover told me my move was approximately 50% bigger than the estimate; because I needed to move out of my apartment that day, my hands were tied. They then proceeded to repack my belongings into bigger boxes (couch cushions and small boxes into wardrobe boxes, small furniture into cardboard boxes) and refused to break down small furniture such as bookcases in order to increase cubic sq footage of the move and thus increase price. I was not able to see how the truck was packed due to them using mattress & box spring to obscure the full truck. I had done calculation of my boxes and furniture and it was nowhere near as large as they quoted me on day of the move. Fraud.

Do not trust ratings on Angie's List, Better Business Bureau, Google, this site, or other moving sites. All of the good reviews are fake--look at close together dates of good reviews posted, all within the last few months (moving season). This company's practices are fraudulent and negligent. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY.

Where to begin? First Do NOT believe any positive reviews like we did. There is no way this company ever performs to satisfaction. We were told so many lies by this company it is criminal really. Told our shipment was large and would take up an entire semi that would fit nothing else. Long story short: lied about truck ( used 2 instead of 1), came a day late (June 30)and didn’t finish til 2am. Asked for more money at 2am. No one had masks on the entire time. Promised delivery on Aug 7-8. Lied repeatedly about whereabouts while it sat in warehouse in Sacramento for 2 weeks! Supposedly left Sunday July 13 but as of yesterday told will make repeated stops ( how was there suddenly room when told would go directly to our new address because so large and no room?) and still no furniture or idea when we will get it! Asked to speak with company CEO or whoever is in charge of this “business” -promised a call from them on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Crickets. It’s been now 17 days and we are incurring many expenses due to not having our things in our new house. Niko, Felix, Solomon all talk the talk. I still don’t know for sure where our things are! Will update when and if we finally get our shipment and the condition of the items. Worst worst experience with a company in my ENTIRE life!

If I could give this company no stars at all I would. This move was the worst possible! Not only did my items show up a week and half later than expected, half of my items are damaged and broken and I’m still missing boxes that I don’t even know if I will ever see again. Trying to get ahold of anyone with the company is a joke,(Felix) they give you the run around and up charge you an extra 1800$. I planned on moving all my stuff myself with a uhaul to keep from damaged and missing items and when I was told by my mom they hired a moving company I was skeptical. Go with your first instinct and do it yourself! You’ll save 8000$ and half of your items won’t be damaged. Such a disappointment! I have no words to express my anger.

There’s no other way to describe their business other than a scam. Lied numerous times (about not hiring 3rd party, about how many movers would show up, about using their own trucks). We sent them a detailed itemized list of everything in our house. The movers show up in a rental truck, walk through the house and then tried to more than double the price saying our items will max out their truck. We explained we had an itemized list but they told us to either pay the new price or they’d leave. We tried emailing and calling both the sales person we spoke with and their general numbers on their site numerous times. No answer from anyone. So the movers left. AFTER they leave we get a vague email saying the would come back but not move all our stuff. Next day I tried calling customer service to get my deposit back but “their system was done so they couldn’t look anything up or file a complaint.” Apparently they claim their system is down until “sometime next week.” Then they email me threatening legal action if I try to pursue a refund. I’m now out the refund, had to reschedule cleaners, am still trying to find a new mover who can move us ASAP, am likely going to have to extend my rental lease, and make additional arrangements to delay the move. They clearly have a repeated pattern of selling you with a quote then bullying you into paying more than the actual cubic feet used and threaten you if you don’t comply. Stay away!

When goods were finally delivered, multiple items were MISSING, multiple items were BROKEN. A four bedroom house they sent ONE MOVER to move everything. He wrecked multiple pieces of furniture and ruined 100+ year old plaster walls. It was a complete disaster and company has not returned any phone calls or communication re: missing items. Mover was not an employee of company, he was a sub-contractor.
